I am increasingly getting more and more pesky grey hairs popping up. I dye my hair to cover them, but in between dye jobs there are scattered grey hairs that stick out like sore thumbs against my dark brown hair. Enter a solution to hide them - L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Precision Brush.
It comes in a surprisingly plain turquoise mascara like applicator tube. The brush is more like a flat comb, rather than a mascara brush - which is handy for being precise with applying it but also the added bonus of not mistaking it for actual mascara. It is quite easy to apply after a few practice runs to perfect the technique.
The colour was a good match and it was a nice consistency. It didn't leave my hair sticky or clumpy and looked quite natural. It said what it said it would do in terms of lasting until it was shampooed out.
It would take ages to cover all my greys, but we can't expect miracles here. But it covers some of the major stand out ones.
Great concept but tricky to get right
I have a few stray grey hairs and also I have some leftover lightened pieces of hair throughout my hair that I thought I could easily touch up with this product and blend in to make my hair look more of an even colour all over. Alas, (while the concept of the product is great, practical and there is a definite need for it), I found the product tricky to use and get right. It was hard to apply to stray hairs and when I used it on my random light pieces even though I tried blending in by brushing through I still was not happy with the colour and I found it to be too noticeable and not natural looking. It was hard to get the coverage right and I preferred to apply it once I had put my hair into the style I wanted, but then I found the brush kept accidentally pulling on random hairs or bunching the hair.
Tips: I feel like this is a product I need more time to play around and practice with.
