Questions About Loreal Root Rescue

Jordan2 — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 22:17:08 GMT

I finally got tired of coloring my own hair and only recently started to get it done at the salon. I get it down every 8 weeks which is really stretching it by two weeks. Anyway the woman that colors my hair is going away for a month and it will be 10 weeks between colorings. I bought Root Rescue, which I have never used before. I get that it is only made for doing your roots, hairline, and temples. I was wondering how long does the color last, 2 weeks, more? Also does it cover the gray well, and is it easy to use?

I use Clairol Root Touch Up. I use this instead of going to the salon (cost too much) and I only do a full color once a year. The root touch up, for me, last 3 weeks. I prefer to use this instead of regular haircoloring as it does not appear to smell as strong and does not appear to be harsh on my hair. I have lots of gray and this seems to do a really good job for my 51 year old hair!!!!

I love Clariol Root Cover Up - adds on some three weeks from my original salon color. Meaning I go back every 7 to 8 weeks instead of 4 to 5 weeks.

Gee, the consensus is I should have bought Clairol instead of Loreal! Maybe next time!

Can't you see her before she goes, and just not "stretch" this time? Or is she gone already?

@Jordan2 I've used both. It does cover grays well. I found it to be easy to use and it lasted at least 3 weeks. I think you'll be happy.

Jordan, my experience with Clariol root touch up was not good. I have very stubborn grey hairs on temple, hairline. Also, with Clairol you can't wash your hair after appling and letting the dye set for the suggested time. Hate that!!!

I switched to L'Oreal Root Rescue and have had great results. Covers my stubborn greys, and the directions say to wash your hair after set amount of time, 10 minutes. Love! It lasts 2-3 weeks. But it's so much easier than running to the salon, etc. Good product. Try it!

I use the root touch up too. Not sure what I will buy this time. I was using clairol nice and easy color but I thought maybe the formula had changed because my hair kept feeling dryer and dryer. I remember someone else commenting that they thought Clairol had changed the formula. Anyway, so a few weeks ago I tried Loreal and I was really upset because while it was very hyrdating I felt like the color came out too dark. But now it has lightened back up. It was probably just my perception as only 1 person even seems to have noticed the color changed and they said they liked it! Oh well, anyway, I was wondering whether the root touch up would work as well with other products or if I need to go with a Loreal product.

I've used both the Clairol & L'Oreal, &, like @marchingalong123, did not have good results with the Clairol one. L'Oreal Root Rescue covers my stubborn greys, & lasts about 3 weeks for me. It's also easier to apply. I've cut down on the amount of times I have to do an all-over color. Really love this product!! Give it a try!!!

The sprayer on the L'Oreal product looks just like the one on Salon In a Bottle that Evine sells, not sure if it is easy to control.

@Shelbelle, I have the one your talking about. I don't like it as I feel it's hard to control, gets on my face! I have been using Color Wow and might try the Madison Reed brand.

I just did my roots about 20 minutes ago. It covered my roots pretty well, the color was good. The only thing is it didn't cover the resistant grays at the temples. I'm curious as to how many weeks it will last.

@Jordan2 .. I have used both. Frankly I didn't notice any difference between the two with the exception of the manner of application and the L'Oreal was a bit cheaper. They are both easy to use and they both covered my gray quite well.

Do all of you color your hair a solid color? I have mine colored at the salon and always want to look natural, not straight out of a bottle. My hair has slight highlights and lowlights so I could never use these root products. It would look like I put streak on my head with an indelible marker.

I've used it for years and it's simple to use. However, I don't think it lasts long. I'm lucky to get 2 weeks out of it.

Because of that, I think it's pricey. (There's not much product in the box).

I think that there's confusion in this thread.

L'Oreal Root Rescue is a hair dye product to dye gray roots.

L'Oreal Root Cover UP is a temporary spray in a can that you spray on to your roots and that will wash out when you wash your hair. This is useful when you do not have time to dye your roots. But it can also come off on you sunglasses nose piece so be careful when you've perched your glasses on your head and be sure to clean the glasses nosepiece before wearing them.

I've also used the L'Oreal Root Rescue hair dye in the medium brown shade. I don't really like the applicator top for the bottle and I've cut those comb teeth off the applicator top to cut down on the mess.

I've also used Clairol's Root touch up dye too. There isn't enough product in one box to do a very good job though. I need 2 boxes in order to cover all of my roots. That has an applicator brush and you mix the product in a tray and apply it with the enclosed brush. I use the medium brown in that brand too.
