I bought this from Farmers at my wits end, sick of the grey peeking out after only a couple of weeks out from the hairdressers. With the price being a rather hefty $50, I was a little skeptical, that it would be worth it, but it was cheaper than going back to the hairdresser every 3 weeks, so I felt I didn't have much to lose. I'm so glad I decided to give it a go! It has been the best beauty purchase I've ever made.
Being mineral-based, the powder brushes on easily and sits around the hair for a natural, blended look. It completely covers up the grey in a couple of strokes, and you can build on the colour if you want to. The compact is a generous size with a good little mirror, which has been invaluable when used in conjunction with the normal bathroom mirror when searching for those rogue grey hairs at the top of the head and behind the ears you wouldn't normally see otherwise.
I've now had my compact for eighteen months and I'd estimate I'd get at least another year out of it. That represents incredible value for me.
$50 to me is a large out lay on a product I was unsure about, so when I saw it in the vault, it was perfect! My hair is at a stage where most of it has been over dyed & so I am trying not to colour it with permanents for as long as I can stand and I have some white hairs coming through, so this root cover is gold! Easy to apply on dry hair, using small brush. I found if I started too close to my hair line however, product was mp obvious on my scalp, so I found it better to start further out & work my way back. Instructions say to use the small end of the brush, so I'm not sure yet what the larger end of the brush is for. Product lasts well on my head & doesn't rub off on linen either. Washes out easily. Medium brown is a good colour match to my hair.
Tips: When applying close to hair line, have less on the brush or start further out & work back.
