Rootflage Temporary Root Touch-Up Hair Powder

OceanIris: I like the powder itself, but it pours out in a stream from the hole in the middle of the brush! So, to use it as intended is impossible! I think it must be a faulty brush. I have used other brands similar to this, and they work great. The Dirty Blonde (Smoky Blonde) is a great match for my ash blonde hair (with gray/silver/blonde roots). The product covers thinning areas nicely, and makes hair look fuller. I will contact the seller to ask about the brush, and update this review later.

Kate Gordon: I really love this and am so thankful it’s actually in my color. It really works and shows up great inbetween actual colors. The only thing I don’t like about it is the texture it leaves in my hair-feels weird.

Louie524: After a lifetime as a bleach blonde, I recently switched to a vibrant red hair color. It’s great - except for the roots, which start to be really noticeable around the two week (!!) mark. I tried all the options - L’Oreal, Oribe, Style Edit - advertised as “red”. They were, in fact, brown. This is the ONLY thing that matches. I mix crimson red and dark copper about 50:50 and it’s perfect, It took a while, in honesty, to perfect the application, but I can now do it pretty quickly and efficiently. Why not 5 stars then? This stuff makes a grade-A mess. Plan to clean the whole sink and counter (and probably the floor) every day you use it. It will also leave marks on your pillowcases and hats, although it does wash out cleanly and (so far) completely. I just re-bought, though, because it’s better than spending half the month walking around with obvious roots.

Anna: This item is a scam! I should of listened to the horrible reviews cause they were right. Arrived today with the lid shut on the brush so the brush was deformed and the power doesn’t stick to my hair at all I apply over and over again and it just dusts off and doesn’t even leave a tint! Waste of money and should be taken down from amazon!

Maggie K.Maggie K.: I get my hair colored/roots touched up every 5 weeks. I’ve been using Rootflage for a few years to cover up grey between hair appointments. Due to the covid quarantine this is the longest I’ve gone without seeing my colorist (12 weeks), so I’ve been putting Rootflage to the test and it’s held up well. Being stuck at home, I decided to test its staying power. I applied on a Friday then avoided washing my hair until the following Tuesday. By Tuesday there was still decent coverage. In fact, had I not washed my hair I would have only needed to reapply a little to the hairline around my face where it washed off while washing my face in the shower over the last few days.
How it works:
The bottom portion of the container holds the very fine powder. There are holes in the top of the container to dispense powder to the base of the brush. For storage there's a small retractable "sleeve" that pulls up around the brush to compact the bristles together and essentially keeps the powder from coming through the holes, and allows you to easily put the lid on without bending and flaring the bristles.
What I love about it:
It covers very well and blends the grey with my color...

Lala: The color matched well with my dark brown hair with blonde/honey highlights. I just didn’t like the heavy feel and residue it left. If it felt lighter on the scalp and/or was more like a dry shampoo (although many leave residue too some aren’t as heavy) then I’d repurchase. I will finish up what I have thou and I’m glad I tried it. The dispenser mechanism I enjoyed and it worked well to apply. If you get it on your scalp , which is kind of hard to avoid then you will feel it and every time you scratch your head you will have residue on your . fingernails . I also wish it had more oil absorbing properties.

Sara: This powder is great in theory but the execution is off- I am light/platinum blonde and the powder turned my scalp and hair bright banana yellow. Yellow is a platinum blonde's mortal enemy. I would, however, recommend this product to non-platinum blondes as the product has a strong staying power. I had to shower to get the yellow out despite trying a few other methods to remove the product (wiping with a wet cloth, brushing, etc.)

Amazon Customer: This hides roots super well!! The only thing, is that it does rub off so you risk getting pillows and hands dirty. I also wish it had a nice scent to it, as it doesn’t smell anything at all.

Amazon Customer: The colour match is excellent, and the coverage is great. After I wash and dry my hair, I apply it carefully to avoid getting any on my part line. I set it with a little hairspray after, and it's good for a couple of days until the next time I wash my hair. I love the variety of colours they offer. This product allows me to go 7 or 8 weeks between colouring without anyone being able to notice I'm not a natural redhead.

beauty buyerbeauty buyer: **Update**
Updating my original review to 5 stars based on the excellent follow up from the seller. Seller created a color especially for my hair to have a better color match. It is perfect. She the photo of before and after included. Great blend and still allows me to wash it out as I am growing out my gray hair.

**Original review**
I really appreciate thorough reviews, so here is mine about Rootflage. I've used this product about 10 days before posting my review so I could share as much as possible. First let me share how I am using this product. I am growing out my natural gray hair. This transition process takes a long time, so I wanted to use the product to help blend the new growth (gray) with my current blonde hair. I wanted something temporary that I can easily wash out as my gray grows out.

Application
The product applies very easily. I tried two of the three recommended methods - directly from the container with the brush applicator attached, and then dipping the brush applicator into the product and applying. I actually preferred dipping the brush because I felt I had more control over how much product was applied to the hair and exactly where. I...
