- Q
Hey so about color choice. While I have naturally dark brown hair, I have seen a good deal of grey since the pandemic. So as a colorist professionally coloring my own hair I knew that using a cool/light brown color on my dark hair normally would bring it to a warm brown with red or possibly orange tones. However with having the transition to enough gray now I also realized the grays will take the color & come out a true light cool brown which it has. The darker pieces blend with them enough to make it overall a natural loking light brown with some sandy blonde *natural looking highlights where the heavier gray spots were. (Still follow me i hope? Lol) ok so my question is the roots coming in can be somewhat noticeable as they are a blend of technically dark brown, but more so gray. So im having trouble deciding between purchading the medium brown root spray or the light brown. Any idea?

- Official Answer By L'Oréal - Brand EngageHi there! Thank you for reaching out to us about Magic Root Cover Up Spray. Based on the information you sent us we suggest the Light brown shade. We hope you give it a try and love it !Was this answer helpful to you

Works great!
Hair Type Straight Hair
Easy to use. Great color match. Only draw back is it needs to be washed out daily, otherwise it gets a little sticky.
Good product for root coverage
Hair Type Straight Hair
Good coverage for graying roots. Color match good. Can be a little hard to target smaller side areas with spray nozzle.
Works beautifully but a bit messy
Hair Type Straight Hair
This product matched my hair color perfectly and hid my gray extremely well. Downside: when you spray it on it goes all over the place and drips all over your hand, counter, sink, body, face. Touching after use will transfer to your skin and nails.
