L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Review

I've come to love L'Oreal products as the products truly live up to what they say they will do. The Magic Retouch was no exception. I missed my last hair colour and it showed up dreadfully. I'm only grey in the front so I was able to direct the spray in exactly the right place. The colour is instant and blended in perfectly with my colour and the regrowth was gone - just like that! The first time I used it, I sprayed it too close to my scalp so that got coloured as well, but I soon got the distance right. I was expecting there to be a scent of some sort but I really didn't notice if there was or not. It washes out very easily and I couldn't 'feel' it on my hair. Overall, definitely recommend this product :)

I was pretty excited to be chosen for this review team! My hair is transitioning from darker to blonde due to gray/white hairs and I'm forever battling the regrowth grays in between colours!

I have used retouch spray before, however they didn't have this light blonde and I used a dark blonde but it was too dark for my hair. So the bottle was what I expected, a good size which you can pop in your purse for emergencies :) it has a little spray nozzle which is good as it stops it from being too big a spray, especially when you have a smaller area to cover.

I like the colour of the bottle and it shows the colour on the front clearly so you know what you are looking at. I only wash my hair about once a week so I washed my hair and that showed just how gray my roots were haha! I dried and styled as normal then tried applying the root spray. It was easy to apply, I found applying in smooth strokes was the best for coverage etc but in shorter bursts.

The retouch seemed to cover the grays well, it blended in well with my hair colour too which was pleasing. The only thing I found which I didn't really like was that the colour was quite yellowy or brassy, but it seemed to get worse if you applied more spray over the stuff you already had on (layering too much?).

I haven't washed it out of my hair as yet but will be doing that in the next day or 2, I'm sure it will wash out ok though.

I'm very happy that it is free of ammonia, peroxide & synthetic dyes. One thing I do not like about L'Oreal however is that they are not Cruelty Free I have just seen online :( I love L'Oreal products but didn't realise this fact about the company, so could make a difference to me as to whether I purchase again or not.

All in all though this is a good product that does a good job of covering grays!

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!

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.

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 found the colour a good match, dark brown, easy to use, lasts till next wash so that was great, blended really well with natural colour, what I didn't like is it made my hair go frizzy on top where I sprayed so had to use more oil product to stop if frizz.

As I am getting older one of the annoying things for me is my scalp isn't really happy with regular permanent hair dying and seems much more difficult, it easily irritated and drys so easily.

For me with a short style I can easily hide the regrowth and this is where a re-touch product becomes my best friend.

This spray one comes in a aqua spray can, says up to 25 applications and comes in around 9 shades (thats from The Warehouse site) it is easy to choose a shade. Keep in mind IMO these products are used a a quick fix, something to tide over till next colouring. I would imagine for some 9 shades isn't enough but I am also lucky to have dark brown hair so a exact match isn't that necessary.

I found using it after styling was best for me, I only used a little for the front and the back. Not a difficult thing to do but I found it to be not as precise as say using a hair regrowth mascara wand (which Loreal also do).

I did find it a little drying but that not unexpected (pretty much everything is drying for me). The winning point is at the moment trying not to dye my hair, it can be rough for my scalp and this product really give me the security that regrowth isn't going to be as visible.

Choosing between the spray or mascara like wand, the wand is my first. This is because I have such a little area to cover and found this spray would be more ideal for a over all application ie: part down middle of head vs just a little area for me. The mascara wand offers quicker and more precise application. I wouldn't want to use the spray anywhere near my eyes, needing to hold it 10cm away from head makes it fan out. I didn't apply it without a towel over my shoulders, not quite ready to test on any clothes (it did recommend not to spray near any delicate fabric or surfaces).

All in all the price, innovation and ease to use get top marks for me. Its a easy product to use. Without a doubt one of those products that need to be in the cupboard.

I feel & understand that it's a quick cover up product and not to expect too much from it, with that in mind it won't be too disappointing.

No I wouldn’t use this again. When spraying it spurts out droplets that go everywhere. And it it gets on your skin it’s super hard to get off. It doesn’t look natural at all.

I like the concept of this but it's just horrific to use! I have greys mainly around my ears so I purchased this for in between dyes.

Well first off when you spray it, it just goes everywhere! I got it all over my skin and man it was such a mission to get it off. The parts of my hair that it was covering felt almost crunchy and overall it didn't look natural or blend in.

I would give this a hard pass, I think there are much better products out there to use. Big let down from Loreal!

I have used this product before in a different colour & it's a fantastic product.... Does exactly what it says it will do and that's provide 'temporary grey coverage' ....I got given the Blonde Magic Retouch to try and having recently lightened my hair to a light ash blonde the colour matched perfectly & covered my grey regrowth. Super easy to use with no mess application, dries fast and lasts until next hair wash & looks totally natural.

It comes in a good sized can and it's definitely worth it - available at supermarkets, chemist & department stores.

Out of all of the grey coverage products out Magic Retouch Spray is by far the best, don't even bother with the rest this stuff is awesome.
