Hair loss! Made me bald!

1 out of 5 stars
Ilookhorriblenow - 9 days ago
originally posted on lorealparisusa.com
I had used this spray occasionally for the last 2 years, but started using it more frequently during the holidays last year. I have always had very thick, full hair where you could barely even see my part. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I suddenly had several very thin areas and could see my scalp through my bangs, and my part was looking very thin as well. I chalked it up to stress and started using the spray even more to cover up the newly thin areas. My scalp itched intensely on a few occasions. Fast forward to February and my hair looks horrible. Brittle top layers, super obvious bald spots exactly where I used the spray the most, and my bangs are incredibly thin. I stopped using the root cover up a week ago. I’m hoping the hair loss is not permanent but I am taking pictures to document it all just in case. This product needs to be labeled with hair loss warnings! I also believe it should state that heat styling should not be used after application.

I didn’t like the texture this left in my hair. It felt sticky and rough. Even after washing my hair and scrubbing my scalp good, the stickiness didn’t wash away. Yuck. The light browns were too dark and the blonde looked greyish on me.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to us about your experience with the Magic Root Cover Up. We are are disappointed to hear that you had some stickiness when using this spray. We will share this information with the rest of our team. We suggest ensuring that you are holding the can 4–6 inches from your hair. Spraying the color onto new growth and partly through the length of the hair to blend in the color just one time, comb and let dry for one minute. We hope you give it another try and love the results!

Wear a glove, it will stain whatever you put on your head. Comes off throughout the day until your next shampoo, becareful it will rain out black dye all over your shower. It was good at first coloring all the gray gone, but left my hair feeling like straw. I had my sunglasses on the top of my head, when I put them on my face the dye left residue on my face making me look like a racoon. Awful product. Stains everything.

It does, as others have noted, come off on ither things. I have a pair of off white Bose headphones that now are brown on the inside top that sits on the crown of my head. The color also blows off with the slightest bit of wind. The color is lighter than indicated on the front of the can.

If you touch your hair at all it rubs off. Gets everywhere. I figured it would come out when you wash your hair not just by touching it. After it “dries.”

This product is amazing! After years of coloring every 6 or 7 weeks I have now gone for 2.5 months with no one the wiser! Sprays really well. Keep a distance from scalp as you expose different areas.

Bought it for my aunt, she likes it. Gives good coverage for gray hair, no residues, no smudging. Need to make sure to hold the can about 6 inches or more otherwise the spray pressure might feel too sharp.

Reez129 - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
It’s wonderful! I don’t know what the other reviewers experienced but it works great and I had no issues with mess or getting on my clothes. Might be the user? I dunno. But for me it worked great and i used it along with the concealer because it sprays very fast and strong so I didn’t like putting it too close to my eyes or face so I sprayed the top with this and used the concealer to touch up the front.

Jaime - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Do NOT buy this literal mess. I usually by the Tresemme one, but I couldn’t find it at Target so I grabbed this one. It is so messy. I scratched my head after about 4.5 hours of it being on and it’s all over my fingers and my desk at work. The spray is odd too and even though I was 6-8 inches away from my hair, it still went on like spray paint. I actually had to wipe some of it because it just blasted my scalp with a paint splotch. Skip this one. It’s awful

This product feels like dry shampoo. You’ll need to be careful not to spray it too close to the scalp. I’ve just tried it quickly in the mirror at home, so I’ll need to test it in outdoor weather and office lighting. But, so far so good. Quick and easy fix between color appointments. The first picture was from 1 weeks ago, second picture is with the spray on for comparison.
