Works in a Pinch
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
It works. harder to apply to curly hair -difficult to get into the curly root. sales person recommended a color that was too dark but it works. Washes out with next shampoo. Maybe an applicator of some sort would help with curlier hair?
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.
Fuller looking hair
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Men, if you have thinning hair and want a fuller look! This is your best friend. I've been using this to help for fuller looking hair for 6 years now. Works every time 🤩
