L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Rescue 10 Minute Root Hair Coloring Kit, 2 Black, 1 kit

I am so impressed with this product. I have been tinting my hair for decades. More often than not, I have been disappointed with the results as my natural base is medium brown and I have tried to color it everything from red to blonde. I have finally decided to embrace my natural color and color my grays. This does amazing. To be honest, I have a short pixi, so the product comtains just enough product to color my hair. The results are shiny and natural looking. I use Medium Ash Brown and it provides a medium/dark brown result.

I have used the 9 color several times and I do really like the coverage and how long it lasts however it is incredibly thin and liquidy what that means is after a few minutes of application it starts to drip down as in my intention of covering the roots of a half inch slides to full inch or more- since this is permanent, I'm sure that means it is going over my old hair that does not to be need to be recolored. I am aftaid of causing extra damage. The quantity in the container is small so it only covers my crown area. I had to get this three stars because I cannot use it knowing that it will color my already colored hair by spreading, which will cause a lot of damage if they could make the formula thicker so it would not drip like crazy that would help. I also put thick conditioner on the rest of my hair dry that is not colored so that it will not wash into my longer blond strands at rinse out. I am a dedicated at home Hair Colorist so I have used numerous formulas over the last 35 years. I don't recall using one that spreads so quickly. over untreated hair.
