Charles Worthington Instant root concealer spray - Dark Brown

Product Information

I didn’t get on with this product at all. The colour was completely off and unnatural, it dulled my hair and was messy to use. Not for me.

My top tip would be to tap the brush head firmly on a hard surface until the powder begins to release and then start to gradually build up the colour until you’re happy with the coverage. It’s so simple but so clever.”Other key ingredients include Iron Oxides, triple milled to produce a micro fine powder to aid spreading and even colour coverage; Corn Starch which helps protect the scalp and absorb moisture and Dimenthicone to help condition the hair so it feels soft and silky. And how should you best apply it? When I first saw these root concealing powders, what, a few years ago, I was sceptical. I couldn’t try them either, as my hair was scarlet red, and they tended to just come in more natural shades.

It’s easy to use, ( nope) just take the top off the case and dab the brush onto the roots, it will start to build up a colour and then just looks quite normal. (uh uh) My first problem is the shade ‘Light Blonde’– an unnatural looking yellow. I saw the colour in the bottle and chose it because the alternative, ‘Dark Blonde’ was a dirty looking, muddy light brown. If you have bleached blonde hair that’s turned a nasty, brassy yellow, then this is the shade to go for. For best results apply to dry, styled hair and set with hairspray. To prime, ( gently) tap the brush head firmly on a hard surface until powder begins to release. The magical technology, Matte Veil, ensures the pigment particles temporarily bind to each strand of hair. The technology works by harnessing the moisturisers in the formula to surface coat each of the powder particles so that, on application, they instantly adhere to the hair and when they are dispensed through the genius brush applicator, the pigments produce a thinly coated layer of colour.You can still see where my root line is in the photo taken from above, but if you look straight on, everything blends. It’s quite easy to apply as well, you just sort of tap the brush against the area you want to cover, and the powder comes out. I was concerned that this product would be messy ( it IS messy!) to use as it is a powder, but it was easy to use with no powder flying everywhere ( OMG! You fibber!)
