Great product but...

I was pleasantly surprised to receive the root re-toucher in the mail. Perfect timing in that I needed to cover my gray roots ASAP. It was easy to apply and went on without a hitch.

The only reason I hesitate in giving it a perfect score is that it was a dry day that I put the product on my hair. If there was precipitation, I wonder if the product would run?

I did wash it out that night so I can't speak to the fact if it does/doesn't run off on sheets as I was paranoid it would.

All in all, it did what it was suppose to do!

The @schwarzkopf root retoucher lives up to its claim.

It covered my regrowth and gray hairs. The nozzle is small enough to deliver a precise application and the colour blended well.

Unfortunately, I did encounter some downsides. You have to avoid touching your hair, it stained my figures when I accidentally touched my head. It rubbed off on my light colour shirt (something I would expect anyways). I only use sulfate-free shampoo, so it took some scrubbing of my scalp to remove the colour.

Just a couple of tips: it’s hard to see, but if you are looking for the instructions the back label is double-sided, so just peel up the bottom left corner. Also, you might need a sulfate shampoo to completely rinse this out. It might be helpful to apply the colour to a toothbrush, then brush that onto your hair to avoid applying too much.

I work in the film industry, so I can see using this for a quick touch up on set. I also see using it if I am styling my hair in a high bun where my roots might show.

It Does the Job!

I received the SCHWARZKOPF ROOT RETOUCHER in the dark brown shade from ChickAdvisor to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I really enjoyed the results. I have naturally mousy brown hair and have been dyeing it dark since I have had my own money and was able to get it done. As anyone who dyes their hair knows, that %$#! is expensive and the upkeep is demanding! I usually go get a root touch up every 4 weeks on average which usually runs me about $100 bucks each time. I have seen root touch up products in stores before, but oddly enough, have never purchased them! Well, thanks to ChickAdvisor.. that all changed!

The salon I get my hair done at actually uses Schwarzkopf dye so I was happy that the product was a salon trusted brand and was a good quality product. The Root Re-toucher is a new product by them which claims to easily disguise your natural hair color in seconds. It claims to 100% cover light and grey regrowth in an instant and washes out after one shampoo! My thoughts? well...

I used it three days before my regular 5 week root touch up - so my roots were BAD. First I wanted to read the directions but I couldn't find them anywhere on the bottle?! I don't know if I am blind or if they weren't there but either way I managed.. I did notice it said 'shake well' on the can so I made sure to do that and then I sprayed away! It has a smaller applicator that is good for precision spraying which I really liked. It was easy to spray on without error or wasting product in places that did not require any color. At first when I sprayed I was a little baffled at how little coverage it gave but then I realized that as the product sits it actually blends more and does a great job of covering the light areas. Again, I wish this would have been on the bottle as I feel like I wasted product by excessively trying to cover my regrowth. After about 3 minutes my roots were much darker and you could hardly tell the difference. My hair is DARK brown and I almost wish I would have chosen the black color to try instead of the dark brown. The color matched good, but it was not a perfect match. In certain lighting and upon examining up close you can still see the shade difference. The product is also a little bit messy so be careful about wearing light colored clothes when applying. I managed to get this all over the sink and bathroom counter (It came off easy right away!) and all over my forehead... oops. I mentioned before that the slim applicator was awesome, and it is! It's the after drips that get everywhere and make the mess.

The product is not yet available in Canadian stores so I can't say whether or not the price on this product is worth it. I would probably pay around $15 max for this product as I feel like you won't get the 25 uses it claims. It does a great job of covering light/grey roots and is extremely easy to use. It washes out easily and does not irritate the scalp. Other then being slightly messy and the color not matching 100% I feel like this is a fantastic product for root touch ups in-between salon appointments and I will most likely purchase this in the future. If you have root problems and don't like spending the money every 3 weeks to get a touch up, this is a great option for you! But be careful, its messy!

#tryRootRetoucher, #CreateYourStyle #gotitfree. Definitely a go to product if you are the type of person who gets too frustrated with having grey hair grow so quickly and you don’t always have time to have your hair dyed.

Great Product, But ...

I was very excited to try the Schwarzkopf Root Retoucher as I was in between colorings and had some roots/grey showing. I have dark brown haIr and loved the coverage of the product however, did not like how the product was dispensed. When spraying onto your roots, it applies very forcefully due to the small nozzle and aerosol aspect of delivery. It would be much easier to control if the product was in a non-aerosol spray type bottle. The product itself is great, however I probably won't repurchase because of how messy the application is.

Quick Hair Fix To Hide Those Pesky Greys

I was lucky enough to get picked from Chick Advisor to test this product for free. I was very excited since I am constantly touching up my roots. I tried the Dark Brown which is closest to my color and the match was great. It covered all the gray and even the stubborn white ones. It comes in a can like a travel size hair spray but a little bigger. The difference is it has a teeny nozzle. You apply it directly to the area you want covered. It feels cool at first. It does not leave hair sticky like some sprays but still manageable and it doesnt smell like hair colors do.
It works well if you are in a hurry and need a quick fix.
But be careful because it can be messy, the spray splatterd and got all over my counter. Also it does dry quickly but if you touch your hair at any point you will get brown fingers. It also smudged a little on my pillowcase. When i didnt wash my hair the next day it was still colored well but again when i scratched my head the brown appeared on my fingers. The color did wash out well.
I recommend this product if you need a quick fix but you need to hold the nozzle right at your roots to save spraying yourself and your bathroom.

Quick Fix

I tried the dark brown tint. My hair is very coarse and roots are very grey. I sprayed a little at a time since it was the first time using this kind of product. Now because of my grey, coarse hair it did take a couple of coats to get it to match up, but it did. I was very happy with the results. Looked natural, and only took a few minutes. I did find that it did wear out even before shampooing, but for a quick fix it dies the trick. I was able to put off going to the hair dresser another week. For someone who puts off colouring hair this is the perfect product!

Camouflez tout efficacement!

WoW! Quel produit sensationnel! Le format de la bouteille est parfait! Dû au format elle se manipule merveilleusement bien ce qui aide à une application des plus précise. Le jet est très bien dirigé, donc s’applique directement à l’endroit souhaité. Aucune odeur forte ou désagréable ne se dégage du produit. Aussitôt appliqué, aussitôt sec. Pas de temps d’attente pour le séchage. Ce qui est grandement apprécié dans une vie pressée!

Tout dépendamment de la quantité de cheveux que vous avez à couvrir je trouve que le produit s’utilise bien et se fait très discret dans les cheveux. Rien n’y paraît. Le fini est très naturel! Je vous le recommande et je compte moi-même en refaire l’expérience. Format parfait a traîner avec soi en tout temps! ❤️

Schwarzkopf Root Retoucher - So Convenient!

I'm so glad this product exists! I didn't see any instructions on the can but I've used another brand and just figured out it was the same. I used the dark brown shade and it's really great to cover up greys when you don't have time to dye your hair. I love the convenience. It sprays on well but does leave a bit of a residue, almost like hairspray. I would use this product regularly!

je vais en garder pour depanner

J'ai bien aimer l'efficacité du produit, il cache bien, ne rend pas les cheveux gras, il sent bon pas trop prononcé ,facile a utilisé sauf qu'il ne faut pas aller trop vite et passer fort car il sort trop au même endroit
