Can't wash it out!

6 years ago
I have been using this product for the past few years and loved it till now. It's been a week now that I've experienced this and have been unable to wash out the product. The below image is to show that I washed my hair 3 hours ago, and for the second time this week I have been unable to remove the product. Having washed my hair with 3 good and intense shampoos this is still stuck to my hair to the point that running my fingers through the hair the fingers are marked by the sprayed colour. I have sticky hair and don't know what to do. If it continues I'll have no other option but to shave my head! Wondering if I got a bad batch of spray!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Serious labelling and availability issues

a year ago
My regular colour was Dark Blonde. Dark Blonde no longer available in stores. L’Oreal informed Dark Blonde has been renamed Beige. Beige ordered from Amazon, they supplied Light Brown (returned for refund). Ordered Beige from Chemist Warehouse they also provided Light Brown. L’Oreal now say Beige has been replaced by Light Brown. L’Oreal website lists the following colours including Beige but not Light Brown which is available in stores. Auburn Black Blonde Brown Cool Brown Cool Dark Brown Dark Brown Beige Medium to Dark Blonde Light Blonde This is totally insane. L’Oreal are just as confused as I am and have a lot of sorting out to do.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Excellent for covering grey

2 years ago
I really love this product and use it all the time. It has really good grey coverage that will last until your next wash. When using it I cover my face with a clear face shield just to prevent getting any in my eyes and spray it about 30cms away using a continuous spray. If I get any on my skin it washes off easily with soapy water. If I spray too heavily in one area I just rub it with a tissue to spread it out evenly. There is a good selection of colours to choose from and a can lasts me a good month. It is also easy to carry around in your bag for quick touch-ups. Couldn't live without it now. Great for inbetween dying. Love it!!!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Faulty pump ruined my expensive pjs

4 months ago
I have been using this product for a while, in between having permanent tints at the hairdressers. I haven’t had issues until now, other than the spray ends up all over my pillow at night. This morning I opened a new bottle and the pump was faulty and product sprayed all over the place - my bathroom sink, vanity doors, face and my Peter Alexander silk pjs. I had placed a hand towel over my shoulder as usual but because the spray/pump was faulty it went absolutely in every direction. I am really upset that it got on pjs (down the bottom - not even up near my shoulders, as they were expensive pjs and the spray won’t come out and they are ruined.

Not suitable for around the face

a year ago
I bought this spray because I could no longer find the Magic Retouch Brush, and needed to touch up my greys around my temples and hairline. I used this product, followed instructions and ended up with splotches of dye on my face, bathroom mirror and sink. I’ve tried two more times and there is always an overshoot of product onto my face and it looks like I have a coloured scalp. Using a spray for those areas is just too much. Bring back the little mascara wand/brush which is easier to use on a few greys around the hairline. I imagine if you need to cover large areas that aren’t near the face, its probably okay.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Greasy residue that hasn’t washed out for weeks

5 years ago
I bought this a few weeks ago and used it twice. I noticed that my hair had a greasy feeling of residue in the area of application (along my part line) but I didn’t worry too much about it. I’ve not used the product for two weeks, washed my hair every other day, but my hair still has that feeling of greasy residue despite the colour washing out. I’m hoping that the residue will wash out soon as it feels as awful as it looks. Never again will I use this product.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I waited weeks for a local store near me to restock the 'Magic Root Touch-Up' in 'Blonde for those with Dark Regrowth' by L'Oreal... I bought it this morning and my goodness, what an absolute waste of money! First of all, it comes out as banana yellow, not blonde and then turns positivley transparent as soon as it hits your hair! Also smells bad and leaves residue despite the label. Not happy.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Ideal solution for Mums with young children who have forgotten what the inside of a hair salon looks like & dye their hair at home.  I found the Magic Retouch was perfect for covering regrowth & pesky grey hairs & to lengthen times in between dye jobs. The light brown was a good colour match for my hair, the nozzle was easier to apply at the roots on the scalp a little trickier near the hair line on your face without getting overspray - used a comb to try & cause a barrier which worked quite well. There was no lingering chemical smell & the slim lightweight container was quick & easy to use. I would use again & recommend to friends.
