Style Edit Root Concealer Touch Up Spray (Multiple Colors Available) - Instantly Covers Greys And Roots - Professional Salon Quality Grays Cover Up Hair Products for Women Medium Brown 2 Ounce (Pack of 2)

This product is a great time saver for root conceal, especially around the temples. I normally don't use it on the top of my head for several reasons: 1) I can't see the top of my head 2) when someone tall comes up to me, I make sure they can't see the top of my head. I don't understand how people can go five weeks without coloring? My hairs grow out over night and I swear if I don't dye my hair every two weeks, it looks horrible but dye is very taxing on the hair and my scalp has taken to breaking out in reddened patches from over-use of dyes. My skin is already very allergic and sensitized and my doctor said "no" to continued dying so I have to rely on Style Edit to save my self-esteem. Seriously, this product is what I call an "airbrush in a can". It does take a lot of practice to get used to it. Handy materials to have before you start: 10x magnifying mirror with a task light or lamp above it, or other good lighting; rubber gloves; sturdy paper towels with "quilted" design; moisturizer; cotton swabs; hand mirror to look at your profile in another mirror; a toothpick (optional). The magnify mirror with good lighting is essential if you are using this product around your temples. If you just spray-blast it on your head/temples, you will leave tell-tale borders along your temples and it will look very, very, weird; not to mention a giant black or dark brown blast of dye on your skin and people will stare at you (I've learned the hard way). The rubber gloves are essential when you go to wipe off the excess, unless you don't mind the product getting on your hand and under your fingernails. I'm cheap, so I use one strip of paper towel, fold it, flip it over and use again and the glove prevents my hand from staining. I only use one glove on my dominant hand, that's all you need. The sturdy quilted paper towel is vital for wiping off the over spray on your skin- do not use tissue paper, it will break up and disintegrate in your hair and make a big mess. I use Kirland (Costco) brand paper towel rolls but you can use Bounty quilted or some other "cloth-like" paper towel. Moisturizer makes it easier to wipe off the over-spray from your forehead or temple. Cotton swabs are great for rubbing away the mistakes when you press too hard and blast your scalp or temple with too much spray. It's easier to use the swab instead of paper towel for spot-fixes to remove localized areas of too much spray. A hand mirror is a good reality check. After you Style Edit your hair, look at your profile in the mirror to make sure the hairline looks "natural". The side of your face is not the same view you see in the mirror if you are staring straight on. A toothpick with a flat end is a great tool to keep in your pocket in case your scalp or head itches. Do not scratch with your fingers, you will end up with Style Edit under your finger nails! I use black, so it looks gross when I get it under my nails. I used to carry around an orange stick in my pocket but it was too long and pointy. Here's how I do it: - put moisturizer around your temples and forehead. - shake Style Edit before using. - apply GENTLE pressure on button...this is the hardest part, as the product tends to blast out with too much pressure. If it does blast out, no fear, just leave it until it dries. - cover all your grays with a FINE mist of this amazing product. Do not blast down on the button - again, this is the hardest part to master. - let it dry, about ten minutes, more if you have time. - put on a glove on your dominant hand. - for temples, use a down-ward swipe with a strip of sturdy paper towel to take the over-spray off your skin. Don't rub upwards on the temples, use one motion downward only. Too vigorous of a rub will remove product from your hair and you'll have to repeat the process. - for forehead, use same technique but swipe the paper towel upward to get rid of over-spray as this is the way my hair grows. - to correct blasts of concentrated color, I remove gently with a cotton swab on the scalp after it has dried. You can experiment while it's still wet but I've found that it rubs the color off the surrounding hair as well. Voila! You are done! And yes, if you don't wash your hair, it may stain your pillows. I live in a humid environment and have to wash my hair daily. I find that Style Edit works best on clean hair and dry scalp. It seems like a lot of steps, but once you get the technique down, it only takes about 10-12 minutes or less. I've also tried another brand called Gray Away from Wal-Mart for $9.99 but found Style Edit's pigments are finer and lasts longer throughout the day.

I'm a brunette and have regular salon colorings every 6 weeks. Recently, my hair's been growing faster than usual so my roots (which are now grey in places) are showing up sooner than my next appoinment. A friend had been using this and I couldn't even tell she had it in her hair so I was super impressed. She gave me a can for my birthday which went to use a couple weeks later and I LOVED it!! It covers your greys without looking sticky or fake and everyone I showed was very impressed. The only trick is learning how to apply it. The can is only about 5 or 6 inches tall, but it's jam-packed with aerosol so it packs quite a punch.... which means you need to start with an area that is not directly next to your face or you'll end up with what appears to be a blast of spray paint. But the good news is that it wipes off easily with a wet wash cloth or tissue (trust me - I did this when I first got it). I start with the roots at my side part, and while still spraying, I move slowly to the hairline at my temples and widow's peak. After the first spray or two you'll get the hang of it. Let it dry completely before touching it. I apply mine after I'm done styling my hair and then blast the sprayed areas with a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. It really doesn't take that long to dry, but if you're impatient or in a hurry like I usually am, the hair dryer method works great. I usually change into my work clothes after styling my hair and I haven't had any issues w/ this coming off on my clothes. I also haven't had any issues of it rubbing off on my white pillow cases at night so I was pretty impressed. Not sure how it stands up to sweat/humidity so you might want to test it before going out to make sure there isn't any color runoff (if you're using one of the brown shades). All in all this is a GREAT product and I would definitely recommend it for hiding the greys between colorings. I already bought cans for my friends and they were thrilled. :)

My favorite go to for in between color appointments. This product is easy to use, covers grey's instantly, and lasts until you wash your hair. It does not change the texture of your hair which is wonderful. It is pricey but it lasts a long time. It's worth the money for grey's to go away. If you're in between-Medium and Light Brown-go for the Light Brown.

Horrible product. Grey coverage is terrible and makes hair texture untouchable.

Product is excellent. A good natural looking dark auburn. Once dry it doesn't come off on your hand. Sprayer has small opening so you can be very precise in applying.

Good.........

The color dark blonde has nothing in common with the dark blonde I am used to from other companies. It is much lighter and very yellow-gold. Doesn't work at all unless that is your hair colour. It is a shame that I can't return it. Expansive waste. Won't order from that company again! The second photos shows theirs compared to a different brands dark blonde on the left.

Excellent product! I have used Rita Hazan and Loreal's Magic Touch root sprays but Style Edit is much better. I love the light blonde color.
