L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Review

I hate my grey hair as I spot one and then 50 appear to have a party with it. I did contemplate dyeing my hair grey but have been advised by my hairdresser and others to keep dyeing my hair so I am currently following their advice. And so, my battle with my grey hairs continue.....

I don't like to overdye my hair and usually let my roots show through until it's time to dye all of it. The roots don't usually bother me too much unless I have a special night out. The top of my head and the sides are the most popular party places for my grey hairs and they do like to stand out and be seen! I was so excited to try L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch. The nozzle looks like a mousse would come out but a fine spray hair colour comes out instead. For me, this spray is perfect. It's not permanent or harmful and washes out when you shampoo your hair. This means when you have a special occasion and you want those grey hairs gone, L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch is there for you! It dries in one minute and is water-resistant (I can back this up as my hair got wet and the colour remained).

L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch comes in a nifty 75ml can that would easily fit in your handbag. If you're looking for a quick, easy and temporary solution to covering your grey hairs then I highly recommend Magic Retouch!

My hair is sunkissed blonde, albeit with a little help from the bottle! Which means when my salt and pepper regrowth comes through its blooming obvious!

I was a bit skeptical that a spray on blonde could ever look natural - but it actually does! A quick spray down the root line refreshes my regrowth and eliminates and trace of grey. It doesn't fully mask the darker hairs, but it seems to help them blend in. A regrowth blurrer if you like.

I think price dependant this could become a staple in my hair care routine - it'll save salon trips and is a great confidence booster.

This arrived in the nick of time as I had quite a few grey hairs on the sides of my head that had come through as my colour job had faded. I received the blonde colour magic retouch which had quite a golden hue to it which blended perfectly in with my blonde/brown coloured highlights. It comes in a 75ml spray can with a fine diffusion tip which gives a precise application and instant coverage to the area that needs covering. The can is light and small so would be perfect if you were travelling away. The colour lasted through 3-4 rinses in the shower before I shampooed it out and has 10 shades to choose from ranging from black to blonde so something for everyone. I think it retails around $18-20 NZD which I believe is good value for money. A great product that I would use again.

L'Oreal Magic Retouch - This product is quick and convenient to use. It can hide a multitude of sins quickly and easily. Been a while since you coloured your hair? Cant get into your hairdresser? Cant afford to dye your hair this week? This product is the one to reach for! A quick few sprays of L'Oreal Magic Retouch and your regrowth is covered and perfectly coloured.

Instantly freshen up your look and tidy up that scraggly regrowth. Its like a quick makeover for your hair when you have let it slide a few weeks on your normal hair colour maintenance. Grey regrowth growing through? A few quick sprays in the right colour tone for your hair and now you are instantly fresher and the greys are blended in.

It is not a permanent colour, once hair is washed the colour is removed. The colour will hold fast until it is shampooed out.

The price point is reasonably inexpensive. For $19.99 per can, its a good back up product to have on hand in your bathroom when your regrowth is getting too noticeable. There are about 25 applications in the can and several colour shades to choose to match your haircolour.

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.

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.

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 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'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 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.
