I am so upset right...
I am so upset right now. I have been using this product for a month and LOVING it. However, today some of the product leaked on my shirt as I was spraying. I immediately tried to apply stain remover, and have been applying more and more throughout the day. But this stain will not budge!!! One of my ...

I would buy this product again!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This was way better than expected. My hair is darker brown which makes the grays show up much quicker. Instead of having to go to the stylist every couple weeks, this is a great fix for a quick coverup. I also love that it doesn't leave a brown residue on my skin and looks natural. The spray is light, and doesn't feel heavy. Very impressed!



Love! Covers gray and looks natural!
Love! Covers gray coming in perfectly! Has great texture and feels great! Doesn't feel sticky on my scalp. It washes out easily! Perfect size for traveling or storing without taking up too much room!

Great coverage!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I wanted to try this product for gray coverage and it worked really well! It was a great color match and after the first spray the grays all but disappeared. I also went through the hair and sprayed all along the perimeter and also worked it throughout since there were a decent amount of grays. All in all, the coverage was great and it was super easy to apply. Since I had to work it into the hair a bit, I did get some color on my hands, but it washed off pretty easily. I would definitely recommend this product for root touch up or for temporary gray coverage.



Good
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is such a great quick fix for covering my roots between salon visits! The light brown shade blends nicely with my hair, is easy to apply, and makes touch-ups so much easier.
