Root Cover ups

I have tried WOW and the one from HSN and now Jonathan.........which ones do you like best? The one from Joan Rivers seems like it is a tiny compact and brush. Thank you.

I have been using Roux Tween Time Cover Stick for over 20 years now, one stick lasts forever. Just wet the tip and apply where needed. Dries until you wash it out. Very inexpensive, Sally's has it, also ebay and amazon.

I LOVE Gray Away and I get it at WM. It is a small can of spray (like spray paint). I spray it on roots either the night before washing or if I do it right before washing I set the color with a blow dryer.

I get the light brown and it goes on pretty dark. It lasts for about 3 washings.

I always wash after using it because it feels dirty if you don't. I also wash "lightly" over where the color is sprayed so it lasts longer.

I get my hair colored every four weeks. I have to use this about the last week before I go back to the beautician since my hair is pure white and I have it colored brown with blond highlights.

I am so happy with this product that I am never looking for something better.

It is about $9.00 from WM and you can get it other places online such as the big "A" store.

I used Joan Rivers root cover compact when I was coloring my hair. It worked very well and lasted a long time. Now I let my hair go natural silver so no more worries!

Because my hair is a light auburn, I frequently have a hard time getting a good color match. Rita Hazan and Joan Rivers were too dark for me. I've been doing well with TruHair from HSN (although it is a powder so you have to use it very lightly or it can get messy). I also just picked up Grayce Root Revive in Copper (a duo of two shades) which seems more of a pressed powder. Only tested that one in the store, so will have to see how that does with use.

The TruHair from HSN looks the most natural on me and it's easy to apply.

I was considering Tru Hair from HSN, but it is only a talc powder, I would be afraid it would not adhere to the hair.

It really depends on how drastic the difference is when roots start to grow out.

Personally, I am finding great success with Batiste Dry Shampoo in medium brown ......

All it takes is a quick spritz to color the roots and I've got the added benefit of the dry shampoo absorbing oil at the roots, making time between shampoos stretch out if I want.

I use this to fill in my brows.

panda123, I used Joan Rivers also and found it perfect when I was coloring my hair. But I have let my hair grow out to one length and stopped coloring it. Now it's in the between stage---partly white (a very pretty white, according to my stylist) and still have growing to do to get the same length.

I never thought about using Joan's product for my eyebrows which are very white. What a great idea! Thanks for mentioning that. I will certainly use the product that way.

It's nice to go natural---certainly saves money!

Great suggestion!

I use Joan Rivers and love it. Tempted to try the HSN product, but it seemed to me that it might be a bit messy so I just stay with what works.

@MidNight I use the Joan Rivers product and like it pretty well. But I'd like to know, where do you buy Wow, and what do you like better about it? Is it a powder?

For years I used JR because it seemed to be the best on the market. It was dark and it covered my part, not just the gray. Then again, it was for thinning hair not covering grays.

When WOW came on the market I was thrilled as it clung to my roots not my scalp. There were also a variety of colors.

Unfortunately, WOW does not come in any red or auburn shades.

@susan kay it's not messy at all. I also like that it gives my hair a little more umph. Have you watched the demo at HSN? I was suprised as I've not been too crazy about these products before. My hair grows like crazy so I schedule very frequent touch ups and I usually only have to use it for a few days so I'm not sure how it holds up in say, bad weather. But it works very well for me and I'm pretty sure the reviews are good.

Sorry for for the run on sentence. Couldn't think of a better way to say it 😊

@smoky22 i just saw this!sorry it took so long!...I got my first wow at qvc and my second one on ebay..The color seems to grab better on my grey than joans product and it stays on good..It also does not dull my hair..The wow has a sheen to it and is not a flat brown.I have light brown hair and use the med brown.This is a must have for me because i dont like tinting my hair and wait to long in between and this really helps hide the grey.
