L'Oréal Colorista Spray Grey Hair Colour, 75 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Light blonde, platinum or natural gray hair are the ideal shades to start with before dyeing hair silver," says Jennifer Korab, a celebrity hair stylist and colorist. And while it dispenses in the form of a spray, it's actually a quick-drying powder formula that helps absorb any oil on the scalp , much like a dry shampoo.

The spray, which has three colours, comes in the normal cans, and as well as giving our hair some volume with its dry shampoo, when we sprayed it on to the root it also coated them with a light colour. The crayon was very easy to use and the color stayed in until I shampooed my hair," a reviewer noted, though others mentioned that it left a residue.Extend the time between salon visits or DIY dye jobs with Clairol’s permanent color root fix kit in an extensive 28-hue range, which is a GH Beauty Award winner and recommended by Hitomi Ikeda, Artistic Director at Rob Peetoom NYC in Brooklyn, New York. She has over 15 years of experience under her belt, starting her career as an assistant beauty editor at GH in 2007, and working in the beauty departments of SELF and Fitness magazines. As we tested the root cover ups we looked at how well they went on to our hair, how they covered our roots and greys if they were easy to wash out and their value for money.

Korab suggests touching it up about every four weeks and consistently using a shampoo formulated for silver or gray hair, like Oribe Silverati Shampoo or Redken Color Extend Graydiant Shampoo. While its thin nozzle makes it easy to spray on to the hair and direct it to the exact section of the hair you want to cover.Of course, we also want to see how long each dye lasts, so we put them through 20 wash and dry cycles and 10 hours of UVA light exposure. We've seen celebs like Ariana Grande, Bella Hadid, Ciara and members of the Kardashian tribe experimenting with icy silvers and grey.

The size of this tiny root touch up is a real plus – a little larger than a lipstick, we popped it in our bag for touch ups throughout the day. Demi-permanent color blends gray roots into your dyed color and appears more translucent, Ikeda notes, with results lasting four to eight weeks. Since this root touch-up comes with two different colors, it can also create more depth and dimension in blonde tones, including highlights. If you get your hair colored professionally, you can also ask your colorist for advice on the best root cover-up shade to choose, Ikeda suggests.Leave a few millimetres below the parting so you can massage the product up into the parting - this avoids your scalp being coated and also gives a better blend.
