![]() ![]() While this account is certainly not intended to disparage a very well respected brand or discourage those who may enjoy the product from testing it out, a first line of advice would simply be to test the product in store prior to purchase.Ĭonsidering the glowing reviews and a very brief in store test (results proved different with at home use)- I opted to invest in a full size product in the light blonde shade, thinking it would be an ideal solution in between coloring processes. ![]() While this product is better than a lot of powder formulations on the market with an aeresol spray formulation, and bearing in mind this is a personal account (as many users and fans seem to love the product, and a product affinity is always personal and open to interpretation), I had some of the worst experiences in trying to use this product, and would recommend those seeking root cover up treatments to look for other products if you are not already a fan of the line. It is designed to evenly disperse on the roots when sprayed lightly from an angular distance, and offers buildable coverage that is best used on dry hair. It is safe for all hair types, including those with keratin treated hair (or any relaxing or straightening treatments). The touch up spray comes in 5 different colors and is designed to be used in between salon trips or at home dying processes, and is water and transfer proof. For fellow chameleons, the product is also available in red and two different shades of blonde, as well as darker colors to use to conceal grays. (It comes in five colors, so you can pick whatever makes the most sense for your hair.) Additionally, I've been using DryBar Blonde Ale and Amika Bust Your Brass Cool Blonde Shampoo to keep my color fresh and bright to wild success.During days I would regularly conceal my naturally dark hair with bright blonde coloring, I turned to Rita Hazan’s Root Concealing Spray after several recommendations and reading glowing reviews about the product online. “Your hair is going to fade and get dull, so you have to do something in between at home to keep it shiny and vibrant.” She suggests using her Breaking Brass Gloss two or three times a week to prevent your hair from turning yellow or orange. “The system that everyone is missing from their routine is glossing,” Hazan told me. In fact, Hazan is super pro-gloss, bringing us to… 3. Purple shampoo and purple glosses don't count since they're not so much corrective as they are preventive. There's no doubt in my mind I would have either lost all my hair or turned it green if I had attempted Pinterest hacks or used drugstore dye. I'm the clear case study of what happens when you feel too awkward to tell someone you don't like their work, but I am so thankful I didn't try to correct the color myself. Don’t try to fix it yourself, no matter how tempting. It's best if you simply state, ‘I wanted it a little lighter-would you mind making it a little lighter?’ If you come at a person in an aggressive or dramatic way, you lose the sense of wanting to fix your hair and get caught up in emotion.” Seems pretty obvious, right? Not if you're like me and get riled up in the moment, but Hazan pointed out that I could have told the manager of the salon if I didn't feel comfortable telling my colorist.Ģ. “If you start crying or get aggressive, it makes the colorist not really want to help. “If you don't like your color, just say you don't like it,” advises Hazan.
