Regrowth Control

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.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch

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.

Tips: You would probably need someone to apply to the back of the head unless you had eyes there (like most mums) :-)

Taking the silver out of my gold!

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.

I just brought a can of this from Chemist Wharehouse NZ online after reading all the reviews so looking forward to blurring my dark roots showing up in my blonde hair during lockdown.

Ooh I was just looking for someone that had used this for blonde hair. It sounds like something I need during lockdown, while I can't get to the salon. I hope I can find some in a pharmacy!!

Great for touch ups!

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!

Tips: Don't spray too close to your head otherwise, it will look patchy and you'll cover lots of skin!

Best root spray I've tried!

I'm one of those people who isn't too bothered by the grey regrowth unless I have somewhere to go and I'm going to be seen by people who aren't used to mum-bun-me.

I've used the other big root spray on the market, and like it. But this blows it out of the water. It's a really easy way to hide greys, it gives full coverage and you don't need too much. I've found it lasts longer than the other one I've used.

I like the shade range, particularly the many browns, it's nice to have other choices than brown and dark brown!

It washes out really easily, but doesn't transfer to pillows or bedding.

Great product.

Super neat product!

This little blue can is the answer to regrowth issues!

I have greys coming through in my regrowth which basically means I'm finding myself in the salon more often.

Magic Retouch emits a fine but quite forceful spray that settles on the roots and somehow seamlessly blends into my hair colour.

It doesn't run in the rain (seriously, spring, what are you doing to us?!) but comes out easily when you wash your hair.

This is one of those simple products that really you just need to know two things. 1. It works. 2. You won't know how you lived without it.

Magic In A Bottle

I absolutely loved this product! I have light blonde hair with grey roots just starting to be obvious and the blonde colour spray hid these perfectly. It was very simple to apply and the fact you could see it instantly concealing the greys as you sprayed was great and allowed you to know how much to apply. I even had my hair cut after I had used this and the hairdresser said she would never have known I had used a product to conceal grey roots, that it had blended perfectly with my natural hair colour. I will definitely be purchasing this again and recommending it to all. Thank you very much for the opportunity to try this!! A definite winner in my eyes.

Tips: Don’t be heavy handed, use sweeping motions for even coverage.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch

This product comes in a handy aerosol can and the spray is used to cover the grey hairs from regrowth in between colours. I had the blonde colour and I used it on my hair after a month since I'd had a colour done. The roots were just starting to show. The spray came out a bit a spurt and it took a bit of technique and several tries to get it going correctly on my hair. It does stain if it gets on your face or elsewhere so you need to be careful with applcation. The result was very good, it covered the grey, This is a good product to use if you want to stretch the time in between your colours, I would buy this again.

Tips: Allow sufficient time to have a proper go at using this.

Bye bye sparkles

I was lucky enough to qualify for the L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Review in Dark Brown. Thank you!

I’ll begin with the packaging. L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch comes in a 75ml can and advertises up to 25 applications. I am not a fan of the sea green coloured can. For me it is not appealing and I wouldn’t be drawn to this on the shelf in a shop. Full instructions are on the back of the can.

There is a pointed/straight applicator which is activated upon pressure. Literally point and aim at the area you want coverage, then press the nozzle. I thought I applied enough pressure when pressing the nozzle and was surprised nothing happened. So went to the next level of pressure and a puff of product came out. I had zero control over how much was dispensed as there was no happy medium with the nozzle.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Worked fine in my hair parting and around my forehead. It leaves a matte finish and if the product lands on your skin it is easily wiped away,

It takes no time to apply and follow the instructions to use on dry hair and the ‘applying distance’. I am terrible for running my hand through my hair. Yes, the product transferred to my nails and fingers. Oh well.

Ultimately I have no issue using between colouring. It looks natural and there is enough coverage for myself.

Pleased to have the opportunity to trial as I wouldn’t have picked this up from the shelf.

Keep your roots covered up

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.
