L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Review

I used this product before and even though it applies relatively easily and temporarily covers the grey, its not geeat when it starts raining or you end up going to the gym and sweat a lot. I learned the hard way when caught outside in a rain storm with no umbrella. Ended up with lines of the product all over my face. Was quite embarrasing to say the least.

I have used this product before in a different colour & it's a fantastic product.... Does exactly what it says it will do and that's provide 'temporary grey coverage' ....I got given the Blonde Magic Retouch to try and having recently lightened my hair to a light ash blonde the colour matched perfectly & covered my grey regrowth. Super easy to use with no mess application, dries fast and lasts until next hair wash & looks totally natural.

It comes in a good sized can and it's definitely worth it - available at supermarkets, chemist & department stores.

Out of all of the grey coverage products out Magic Retouch Spray is by far the best, don't even bother with the rest this stuff is awesome.

This product was not for me, which is a pity as something that works between washes to cover my grey would be great. The main reason I didn’t like this product was the application method. It’s in a spray can so it was hard to get precise. I tried different methods of how far away I held it and how long I held the spray nozzle down for but just couldn’t get the precise application I wanted around my face. When I got it on my face I could wipe the excess away but you could still see close up that my scalp had brown spray on it. You also only get once chance to apply it right as when I applied too much while trying to get some greys I missed the first time my hair went kinda stiff and felt rough even after brushing through the hair i’d sprayed it felt stiff. So sorry this product was not for me. It did however survive the wet whether and continued to cover the greys until I washed it out so the product in the can was good just not the delivery method.

I went pretty grey from an early age and have been dyeing my hair ever since. As a Mum, I don't get to dye my hair that often so I tend to rely on products that can give my hair a wee touch up.

This is a great product because it does just that.

It's easy to use, gives great coverage and doesn't smell too chemically.

Make sure you apply from a slight distance so as not to soak your hair too much. This will stop product from seeping into your scalp and running down in case it rains and it hasn't dried.

Its definitely a good product and would purchase it again.

I've come to love L'Oreal products as the products truly live up to what they say they will do. The Magic Retouch was no exception. I missed my last hair colour and it showed up dreadfully. I'm only grey in the front so I was able to direct the spray in exactly the right place. The colour is instant and blended in perfectly with my colour and the regrowth was gone - just like that! The first time I used it, I sprayed it too close to my scalp so that got coloured as well, but I soon got the distance right. I was expecting there to be a scent of some sort but I really didn't notice if there was or not. It washes out very easily and I couldn't 'feel' it on my hair. Overall, definitely recommend this product :)

I brought this when it first came out and was very disappointed. It turned my scalp brown! When I saw this review come up, I thought I had to try I again. So after I had washed, dried and straightened my hair (arrgghh) I sprayed in on, instead of spraying straight down, which causes your scalp to go brown. I sprayed from the front a bit diagonally across the top of the hair. It worked amazingly. The spray was fine that hairspray and it dried very quickly. I've tried hair crayons and hair mascara and I say Magic Touch is far better. I'm glad I gave it a second chance!

I was lucky enough to be sent this as part of a trial. I’ve just turned 40 and have pesky grey hairs that crop up in between hair salon visits.

The colour I chose was cool brown. I have ombré hair so very dark roots and quite blonde lengths so the greys are really noticeable, and cool brown was a perfect match for my roots.

The worst section is on one side of my temple where these little short grey lengths just keep appearing!!! This was the area I most wanted to target as it’s the most noticeable.

The product is in a short spray bottle with a narrow tube nozzle (think WD40ish). The instructions are simple - short sprays about 10cm away from the hair. It’s meant to do 25 applications, but will obviously change depending on how many greys you want to cover.

The first time I used it I sprayed too long and too close to the skin and ended up with a massive blotch on my scalp. It was easy enough to remove with a damp cloth, with no skin staining - phew! After a couple of trials I worked out the best way to apply with no staining.

The results were instant and awesome! My greys just seemed to melt away, I couldn’t detect any colour residue in my hair and it all looked really natural. The colour lasted until the next wash, and didn’t irritate my skin at all.

This is definitely going to be a permanent fixture in my bag of tricks!

I was lucky enough to be chosen for this trial, thanks Beauty Review.

Don't those pesky grey hairs just ruin your look? They are so annoying and really stand out, especially if your natural hair colour is dark. My hair suits the colour cool brown perfectly.

To use this spray is super easy but make sure your aim is good.

The instructions will tell you to wash, dry and style your hair and then you spray at where those greys are. Hold the can about 30cm away from your hair and try not to get your ear like I did! Luckily it washed off easily. The colour will be dry in one minute and will last in your hair until you shampoo it out, so you could have a great greyless hair style for a good few days.

I loved the results, not a shiny grey in sight which for me is a real win. They say it can last up to 25 applications so I feel it is great value for money.

As I am getting older one of the annoying things for me is my scalp isn't really happy with regular permanent hair dying and seems much more difficult, it easily irritated and drys so easily.

For me with a short style I can easily hide the regrowth and this is where a re-touch product becomes my best friend.

This spray one comes in a aqua spray can, says up to 25 applications and comes in around 9 shades (thats from The Warehouse site) it is easy to choose a shade. Keep in mind IMO these products are used a a quick fix, something to tide over till next colouring. I would imagine for some 9 shades isn't enough but I am also lucky to have dark brown hair so a exact match isn't that necessary.

I found using it after styling was best for me, I only used a little for the front and the back. Not a difficult thing to do but I found it to be not as precise as say using a hair regrowth mascara wand (which Loreal also do).

I did find it a little drying but that not unexpected (pretty much everything is drying for me). The winning point is at the moment trying not to dye my hair, it can be rough for my scalp and this product really give me the security that regrowth isn't going to be as visible.

Choosing between the spray or mascara like wand, the wand is my first. This is because I have such a little area to cover and found this spray would be more ideal for a over all application ie: part down middle of head vs just a little area for me. The mascara wand offers quicker and more precise application. I wouldn't want to use the spray anywhere near my eyes, needing to hold it 10cm away from head makes it fan out. I didn't apply it without a towel over my shoulders, not quite ready to test on any clothes (it did recommend not to spray near any delicate fabric or surfaces).

All in all the price, innovation and ease to use get top marks for me. Its a easy product to use. Without a doubt one of those products that need to be in the cupboard.

I feel & understand that it's a quick cover up product and not to expect too much from it, with that in mind it won't be too disappointing.
