Rita Hazan Root Concealer - Light Brown - 2 oz by Rita Hazan

I’m in my late 40s and started going grey in my early 20s. I color my roots religiously every 4 weeks. I’ve been using this root spray since it came out 15-20 years ago when root sprays were new. This stuff works great to camouflage regrowth around week 2 1/2-3, but there are some tips and tricks. First, do not attempt to do your whole head. If you need that much spray you should just color your roots! I only do my part and my front hairline, maybe my temples. Second, prime your pump!! Those who complain of it spraying black need to prime the pump first. Whatever product is in the nozzle will oxidize and turn dark, so always do a first spray on a tissue. That first spray will be blackish and then quickly become the color it’s supposed to be. Third, never point and shoot, always be moving your hand L-R back and forth in quick bursts. You want to sweep it in, not have it shoot a big splotch in one spot. I also recommend covering your face or ear with your other hand so you don’t get overspray everywhere. Micellar water takes any overspray off skin instantly, so keep some on hand. Last, only use just enough to blend your greys - too much does get a little thick feeling on your scalp and can be a little itchy, so don’t overdo it. If you do all these things, you will appreciate this product! Spray lasts until you wash it out, except maybe a tiny bit around the hairline which gets wet when I wash my face am and pm. It’s also way cheaper now (like half) compared to when it came out at Sephora. I’ve used the Red for many years on various colors of copper and auburn and just switched to light brown as I’ve blended more brown into my copper. The light brown is great - my base is a level 6 and my length an 8. I have perfectly disguised roots a tad darker than my length, which is exactly what I want. HIGHLY recommend this, especially if you can’t stand when your grey/white hair starts coming in. It’s a quality product!

Have used the light brown and dark blonde and there is a big jump in color from one to the other. With the blonde, it sometimes sprays black first so have to use it on a tissue first to be safe. Otherwise, covers well, and gets me thru until my next salon appt. A can lasts a long time so it's worth the expense. I'll keep buying it because it's easy to use.

I like this one much better than the other one it doesn’t wear off as quickly as others

I get the light brown and I have med to dark brown hair. Why do I get the light? Because I don't want my roots to look too dark. I can layer this product, so if the first spray looks too light I just do another one. This product also doesn't build up in my hair like some other ones do. This stays in my hair and I have to massage my roots to get it out during the shampooing phase, but when I brush my hair other brands would coat my strands and leave my hair feeling coated.

I've used others but like this one the best. It loses a star for it's higher price.
