Charles Worthington Instant root concealer spray - Dark Brown

Product Information

My second niggle – apart from the mess of dabbing it on my hair, was that it turned my scalp bright yellow. The powder clung to my roots (which to be fair, that’s what it was designed to do), but then ventured onto my scalp and wouldn’t budge. Whether you’ve got some nuisance greys coming through that you’re not ready to embrace, or your natural colour has decided it’s time to shine loud and proud atop your head, root touch-up powders are on hand to mask that root regrowth, seamlessly blend your roots in, and give the illusion of well-maintained tresses while you wait for your next appointment.

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. 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?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. Wear a towel around shoulders to protect clothing. Section desired area and apply powder directly, steadily building and blending the colour to create even coverage.

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. 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.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!)

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’ve used the dark blonde shade here, and it matched my hair really well. I’d say, if you have a big night out just before your next salon appointment, then give these a go. I think because my natural hair has a lot of grey in it now, the powder colour did grasp better. 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. At Charles Worthington, we’re on a mission to make every day your healthiest hair day - so you can truly love your hair.
