It was great to trial this little magic retouch. Comes in a bright turquoise can, small enough for travel and to go into your purse if needed. Doesn't have a smell at all. Shake well before you spray and don't hold the can too close to your hair. Did a great job of covering up my greys and blended well into my hair. Be careful when spraying that it doesn't get onto your face, rinse off straight away if it does. Stayed in my hair until the next wash, two days and was perfect for between colouring appointments as just go grey along my part on top of my head. Would use again,.

Tips: Make sure you pick the correct colour for your hair type otherwise it might be noticeable.
I used the dark brown colour when I had Ombre hair, because my roots that grew out were lighter than the dark ombre colour. I definitely didn't use it everyday (as it makes your hair feel a bit crunchy at the roots) but I would use it when I wanted my hair to look like its just been done! It worked well and the brown colour matched almost perfectly!
It doesn't last ages, but its great for the odd occasion... to tie you over until your next hair appointment.
Tips: Be careful when applying it around the face- it can stain, which means you need to wash your face to get it off..... annoying if you have already done your makeup! So either use a barrier (a cloth/wipe) or do it prior to doing your makeup :)
I tried this out of curiousity at a time when I didn't have time to dye my roots, and so I was looking for a quick fix to hide some greys! This did the trick just fine. It gave me an extra few weeks of grace. I have now purchased my second bottle and have already quietly thanked loreal for making this product! It's definately an Inbetween dye thing though...not an alternative to dying your hair. Also, my hair is close to black, but the shop only had brown in stock. It made no difference really since our hair has highlights anyway.
Tips: Style your hair first and then spray at end.
The L'Oreal Magic Retouch is a handy little can to keep with you for a quick touch up at any time. The cute little blue can is discreet and a great size for your handbag!
I have no idea how it works its "magic" but it almost perfectly matched my hair colour straight away. I started off spraying a fine layer onto my hair first of all to test it out and check I wouldn't have any adverse reaction. All seemed fine and I didn't need too much to achieve the required colour. But my advice would be not to layer it on too thick when you apply it so you can adjust in stages.
I was worried about the spray getting on my clothes but I didn't really have that problem. The spray head is good at keeping it contained. I imagine it would wash out easily if it did get on any clothes.
I didn't have too many greys showing at the time of reviewing so I can't totally vouch for its coverage of greys, but on the evidence of my testing, I saw a natural looking colour that blended well with my existing colour.
Because it is applied so lightly, you can't even see it washing out!
As I'm terrible at letting my hair colour grow out too far before re-doing it, I'm sure this will become a staple in my bag! For lazy, low maintenance gals like me, this will be a lifesaver!
Tips: Start by spraying a very fine layer and add more if needed. This will get you a more natural look. Don't overspray to start with.
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.
Tips: Apply on dry hair. Style hair as usual, once you have your hair set in place, hold can from about 15-20cms away and spray where your roots are needing covered. Spray lightly, check your coverage and reapply if needed. Let dry. Dont overspray or your hair can look a bit clumpy. Dont spray to close to your scalp.
Take care when using in the bathroom not to get the spray on your clothes or around the bathroom. Wear a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing just in case you miss your hair.
I have grey hair but have coloured my hair for many years. I use this to cover the roots along my parting as needed. It enables me to space out my colours. It is easy to apply, stays put and looks pretty natural. A literal game changer for me
This comes in a aqua coloured aerosol with a label showing the colour and a sticker on top showing the colour of the product which makes it really easy to see the colour you require. The product is easy to apply and the instructions on the container are clear -Shake well, 10 cm from regrowth and not too much. I have been using this for 3 months and have just come to the end and am really pleased with the result. I initially purchased when I saw it on sale at the warehouse for $14.95 as I was looking for a product to save having to colour my hair too often ( I was colouring the regrowth every 3 weeks and felt this was not only not good for my hair condition but also worry about allergic reactions as I have a sensitive skin) I have only applied on the crown of my hair and where my hair falls in natural parts and this is sufficient to delay re colouring for approx 2 weeks. The colour which I purchased was dark brown and this blends really well with very little effort on my part. I now only retouch my hair colour every 5 to 6 weeks and my hair is in much better condition than it was. The colour is tempory and washes out with shampoo but so easy to reapply and takes just seconds to get it done so no effort and the result is really natural.
Tips: Apply to obvious regrowth and not too much .A damp cloth handy if you make a mistake and spray your face.
I have been using this little can of Magic for a while now and have always been really pleased with the results. My fair and highlighted hair of course looks good initially, but about a month later the dreaded grey roots appear (again) especially visible at the sides. After reading reviews on this site I bought a can of this product and sprayed the offending places and it was amazing just how effective it was straight away. It means that I get a few more weeks before I go to the hairdresser - and this of course is a great saving, and the result looks so natural . It's a great product and I am so thrilled that I discovered it, and even the hair salons use it as I discovered recently.
Tips: My hair is blonde and the colour that I buy is Light Brown as I think it makes it look as though my regrowth is brown - not grey - haha
Very easy to use!
The can has a long nozzle for precise application. Spray your hair before you apply your make-up as you will get some around your hairline and simply wipe off with a wet flannel. I trialed brown which blended in nicely with my medium brown colour. Once I sprayed the colour I allowed for it to dry and then brushed and styled my hair where I also found that it kept some of the style. You would really have to give your hair a good rub for any transfer to occur and I left it in overnight and none transferred to my pillowcase either. I rinsed my hair and no colour came out till I used shampoo. If only you could dye your hair this way it would be so quick to do hint hint L'Oreal.
I really like this product and it is perfect to use between colouring :-)
Tips: Don't spray near furnishings as it would colour it.
Full coverage and natural. I'm buying this again from the vault when I'm allowed haha. Great for quick touch ups and to hide grays in a hurry. It can run, if you get caught in the rain though. Fair warning.
