Touted as the world’s number one root concealer, this L’Oreal gem is set to perfectly cover grey hair and root regrowth with its quick and easy application. It is an ideal choice for those who use permanent or semi-permanent hair dye, as it can cover your roots between redying.
This root concealer can be matched with your hair or dye colour, for a natural-looking finish that makes your hair look salon-fresh every day. Whether you’re having a last-minute emergency or need a quick fix between home colourings and salon appointments, or even the sudden appearance of grey hairs, this Magic Retouch root concealer is easy to carry around in your handbag and is also cabin-approved, so it’s perfect for taking on the go when you travel.
The low-commitment spray comes equipped with a pinpoint micro-diffuser, which targets greys. Plus, the temporary, lightweight formula matches seamlessly with your hair colour for a natural, just-been-to-the-hairdressers finish. The product lasts until washed out with shampoo, and only a small amount is required to conceal your roots or grey hairs.
Maura’s root concealer comes in nine shades, ranging from blonde to brown to black. It is currently on sale for £6.99 at Boots and Amazon or for its full price of £9.99 at Superdrug.
It’s not just the Love Island star who’s obsessed with this Magic Root Touch-Up, as it boasts plenty of 5-star reviews from satisified customers.
One Boots buyer beams: “I found this product easy to use and very effective. It is a great choice for in-between hairdresser visits being a quick and simple solution for covering grey hair. The colour blended well with the rest of my hair which really helped disguise my roots and saves money to trips to the hairdressers.”
Another shopper says: “I liked this product, it does what it says. I found it handy for quick touch-ups. The brown shade blended well and covered the majority of my greys instantly. It didn’t feel heavy or sticky. Perfect for in-between salon visits and overall I would definitely recommend.”
Further praise comes from this customer who raves: “Covers greys in seconds, blends well with my hair, and lasts until the next wash. Super easy for quick touch-ups, but can feel a bit sticky if you spray too much.”
Though one less-than-thrilled shopper does note: “This product does exactly what it sets out to do! I sprayed it on the areas where my parting or hair is a little thin and it made my hair look fuller and boosted my confidence as I have always been a little self conscious of my hair. My only downside is that it is a little messy to apply, I found little brown dots all over my arms after using it so it’s best to not apply once you’ve got your nice clothes on.”
While another 5-star rater enthuses: “Easy and quick to apply, it covers gray roots naturally and evenly without leaving a heavy residue. The lightweight formula doesn’t feel sticky, making it perfect for last-minute touch-ups or extending the time between salon visits. It dries fairly quickly, but if touched before it’s completely dry, it can transfer onto fingers or fabrics.”
