L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Precision
So I got my complimentary voxbox from Influenster. (Posting this from my phone cuz I was like, whaaattt?!) In it was the L’Oréal Paris Magic root precision. There were two products in it. The magic root cover up temporary spray and the magic root precision concealer brush.
The spray is for all over root color. Works fast and covers intensely. Seriously, a little goes a long way. The brush however is for more precise coverage around your temples and scattered hairs that may show your “experience”. Lol. Hate those.
Anyhow, I tried it and I don’t hate it. The coverage was REDICULOUS and great for when I’m waiting for my color to show up in the mail. (I do subscription hair color, as though that’s a surprise to anyone).
Here’s my before and after:
It not only covers roots, but it makes it look fuller doesn’t it?!?!
I do like it for quick coverage, but I must tell you the cons too. The pen states clearly that you should hold hair away from the scalp to avoid scalp color. Yeah, well when I’m just covering what shows after I’ve put my hair in a bun or top knot, which won’t work. So, I used the pen and saw dots all over. I had to grab some toilet paper and rub over what I had just colored to get rid of them. They looked like plugs! Lol
Another thing I’m not crazy about is that I touch my hair a lot when it’s down. So does my toddler. This stuff comes off. I saw some on his hands when we were playing and had to quickly grab a wipe to clean him up. It also rubbed off on my pillowcase. I don’t wash my hair everyday so when I woke up in the morning, there it was, dark smudges. I’m assuming it will just wash out in the wash (crossing my fingers).
Lastly, I felt as though there was a trade-off with the texture of my hair. Yes, grays were covered but my hair felt dirty. There was a coating on my hair that I didn’t care for. And of course, after feeling it my hands had color on them. Lol.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great product for what it is. It’s quick, emergency coverage for when you can’t get to the salon or can’t dye your hair right then and there. It’s not meant to be every day all day gray coverage product.
So there you have it. My honest opinion on a freebie! I’m gonna use it up cuz I’m not one to waste anything! Lol
Have you tried it? What’d you think?
