John Frieda Root Blur Colour Blending Concealer, Amber to Maple

Product Information

Coloring my hair is not really a secret, but how I keep my pesky grey hairs under control between my hair appointments with my stylist was, until today. This did last pretty well throughout the day, but just be aware if you do accidently touch the area it does come off on the fingers a little, like the spray version.

There is a heck of a lot of packaging here for two tiny bricks of powder – it looks exactly like an Illamasqua palette (but doesn’t have the weight in the feel) and who has time to pick out each shade or even blend them to something that’s an exact match?

I love having products like John Frieda’s Root Blur available at Target because Target is my go-to for everything, including my hair products! Root touch up products have become big business recently and it's actually great to finally have a product available that fills the gap in-between colour re-growth or if you simply don't have time to colour your hair as frequently as you like. Good Housekeeping participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. So even though this product sample clearly isn’t my shade, I do at least, have some greys to try it out on.

The Root Blur helps keep my color looking fabulous, helps me not have to visit my stylist as often and I can change up my hair look in a second by adding some depth to my hair by using the darker shade in the palette!Do you think it would be possible to brush it through as I am sick of people telling me I should dye it.

This root-cover-up powder is meant to cover dark roots or regrowth at the part or scalp line and it allows you to extend your highlights back towards your scalp. I also recommend using a large, well lit mirror when applying this, as it can be a little tricky trying to avoid getting it on the scalp area when you are doing this for the first time. Overall I did like this better than the spray version as it felt a little more comfortable than the L'Oreal one, but to be honest I think I would only use these root touch up products in an emergency as I just find although colouring your hair, a more time consuming, messy process, it just works better for me knowing, my roots are covered and I don't have to worry about transfer if I accidently touch my scalp.

I have a streak of grey about an inch thick from the shock of a big accident but my hair is waist length as is my grey streak.These root concealers, like this blonde root touch up, are pressed-powder products designed to temporarily cover visible greys or root regrowth. The powder actually comes in a nifty compact with a mirror and a brush, which is ideal for on the go touch-ups.
