Love it!
I received this free to test and I couldn't be happier with this hair mascara!! It covers the gray roots I've got going on when I don't want to get a colour at the hairdressers yet. I found the brush idea much more effective than some spray type cover ups I've tried. Will be buying again for sure!
Kind of messy
I had high hopes for this product, and I'm still on the edge with it. I have dark blonde hair and it DID cover the roots. The only issue I really had with this is using the mascara style wand, it's hard to actually coat the hair properly. Maybe it's just my hair, but it tends to get tangled fairly easily in the brush. If it was a different applicator, it may be better. However, it DID cover the gray, as it says it would.
Good for a touch up only
Thank you to Chick Advisor, I received a free Schwarzkopf Hair Mascara in Dark Blonde. The color match was a little off by being a darker shade than my hair. It was effective in coloring the little touch up where a "couple" grey hairs had popped up during the night. After it was dried I brushed the product into my hair. It was soft to the touch. I thought that maybe it would be hard but it did soften up after brushing. It is a good product if you have a couple little spots that need touching up. I tried it on my mom for her bangs and she did like the shade and it blended in great for her. The price is a little high but that is just my opinion.
Not a good match
Full disclaimer: I do not have greys, I do however have incredibly fine hair and my new growth can sometimes look grey as it is incredibly light and fine, so I figured this might help keep the color consistent.
The color I selected was “Dark Blonde”. My natural hair color is a light brown but I do lighten it (not due but a peroxide based lightening spray) and the resulting color is what I refer to as “Bronde”, so I figured this would be a good match. Boy was I ever wrong! Not only was the color significantly darker than my blonder sections, it was even darker than my light brown Hair. So this was a bust for me right from the start. So if you have anything lighter than a medium brown, I would probably say this product won’t work for you as I would consider their Dark Blonde a match for Light/Medium brown hair.
The product comes packaged in a mascara wand- like tube with a wire brush applicator which I thought would be great to get into those sneaky spots (especially for those with just a light sprinkling of greys). Now, I don’t know if maybe their formula is just too thick or what, but very little product was actually on the wand and running the wand along my roots and hairline didn’t really do much, nothing seemed to come off and stick to my hair. It just kind of teased my hair making it frizzy and caused my hair to get tangled in the wand.
When I did manage to get some of the product in my dry clean hair, it just made my roots look super greasy and gross. I honestly can’t even give the product a rating for longevity or anything like that, as it either didn’t work enough to rate or it came out looking so gross I needed to wash my hair. Perhaps they just need to work on the formula, but this was a no for me.
Definitely covers greys!
I have light warm blonde hair (with dark cool brown roots unfortunately), so my closest match was the dark blonde. It wasn't as light as my blonde hair but was lighter than my roots. I didn't expect it to be able to lighten my dark brown roots much, but it actually did a little, as well as cover my greys completely. I am willing to bet that this type of product works a lot better on darker hair and hair that has similar color roots to tips, but I was able to get it blended in pretty well and made my roots line a lot less harsh. I especially like it when my hair is up in a pony tail becuase not only does it help cover my greys and blend my root color out a bit but it also helps hold down my baby hairs around my hairline. Overall, a great product, my only reccomendation would be to have a light or even medium blonde color since most other root touch up products have those shades available.
Just not for me
I received the lightest shade available of Schwarzkopf hair mascara. I found that there is not enough options in colour as this was just not a match for my hair. Went on slightly clumpy and did nothing for my style. This is not a product that I would use of recommend. Also I do not think that the price makes this item a good value.
Grey’s Gone!!
I received this product free and am glad I did!! It blended extremely well with my hair color! So well a friend asked if I had been to the Salon for a touch up!! It was easy to apply. My olny complaint is that my hair is very fine and tangled in the wand a bit. The value is great for what you pay! I would buy this again!! It lasted all day, didn’t smear, didn’t need a touch up, and withheld a mid afternoon straightening!!
This product saves me so much time!!
at first I was a bit skeptical that if I used it someone would be able to see the difference. I was throwing my niece a baby shower and had totally forgot or ran out of time to re dye my hair. When I looked in the mirror all I could see was the gray hairs coming in. I was trying to figure out a way to hide it by putting it in a bun or something like that but unfortunately most of it was at the very front. I used the hair mascara and WOW.. it hid everything! I want to go and buy a case of this stuff. Couldn't even tell I had used it. Great product
Excellent!
Couvre très bien. Au niveau de la couleur je n'ai vu aucune démarcation, celle-ci se mélangeais bien avec ma couleur naturel.
Facile d'application et le cheveux à toujours l'air naturel.
Great tool for in between touch-ups
My hair is a little lighter than this tube and so the colour was not the best match. Will however say that it hides grey well and looks natural once dry. I would definitely recommend to anyone that needs to extend their colour a little longer but maybe to someone who has a solid hair colour without highlights. It is definitely easy to use and will last some time.
