Got this during lockdown, I didn’t expect much, I had grey hair to cover so purchased a brown colour which matched my hair. Lasts a day for me, I didn’t get as many uses out of the can as claimed. However I was using a bit. I will be buying this again.

I've used this product for a few years now as a touch up in between colouring. I am probably about 30% grey and colour dark brunette. It works well to cover grey and you can't tell you're wearing it.
Tips: Be careful to spray lightly and build on it rather than a thick layer, you'll end up colouring your scalp which can look a bit weird. If you get a bit on your skin it's easy to wash off with a bit of water. Cover light clothes before using a dark coloured spray.
THIS!! Lockdown has taught me that I can never take my hairdresser for granted - and this little product is a lifesaver. I was due for my hair appt a couple days after this latest lockdown so you can imagine my devastation at the thought of going weeks without some hairdresser support! Then I found this little guy. What an awesome product to use in between colour touch ups. It has amazing coverage for something so cheap and does exactly what it's supposed to do.
I got this from the beauty vault in the cool dark brown shad and it's my new fave! My hair is close to needing a regrowth touch up as the dreaded Grey's are rearing their heads and what can I say, just wow! The product effortlessly blended in my Grey's on my dark brown hair and it was unnoticeable that I had used a spray to do it. The nozzle on the product is great as I was able to direct the product exactly where I wanted it on my Centre part line without getting it on my face. The product also felt like I hadn't applied anything there at all (which I like). There was also no residue left on my pillow after sleeping which I was worried about. Get it now, you won't regret!
Tips: Shake can well and apply approx 10cm from visible Grey's, I applied down my part line. To conserve product only apply where regrowth can be seen with your hair style.
Love this product ! This has been such a help after pregnancy and the hair loss that comes with it ! It lasts so well and only comes out when you wash your hair , perfect for regrowth ! If you haven’t tried it definitely give it a go
This is a quick easy product to use if you need to cover greys between hairdresser appointments. It’s a spray so a takes a little to get used to using it right and not spraying it on your face.
Tips: Hold something over your forehead when you spray so you don’t get your skin
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've used this to cover greys, and in between dyeing my hair. I like it because it lasts a full day, and only comes out when I shampoo my hair. I'd definitely keep using this to cover my greys when I don't feel like dyeing my hair. Highly recommend.
