Recommendations for a root cover up powder

Glorimar — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 21:41:18 GMT

I've used different root cover up sprays and they all leave my hair feeling sticky, stiff, unable to run my fingers through my hair, and stain my forehead and pillow cases. So I thought I would try a root cover up powder instead. Years ago I bought the Joan Rivers one but it didn't give me much coverage. Is there another powder that gives good coverage without the negative effects?

For root cverage, I dont use a powder, I use Roux Tween Time stick, wet it and apply. One stick can last many years.

I have been using Joan Rivers cover up for years because I have lost a lot of hair due to stress & meds. It works very well. My hairdresser cannot believe how well it covers where I've lost hair & my roots also. Perhaps you are not applying right. It takes time but it works & is not messy! Wearing a topper doesn't work & looks horrible.

Honestly, I can't tell any difference between the Clairol root touch up powder and Color Wow or Madison Reed. And Clairol is only $10!

I have Color Wow root touch up powder, I also have Calista's hair powder (got it here as a duo) and like it better than the Color Wow.

Have only used Joan Rivers and it works well for me so no need to try other brands.

I have used XFusion by Toppix. More recently I have been using Tru Hair Color and Lift from HSN. It is loose powder but application is more controllable than with XFusion. It also gives hair extra body. Does affect hair shine somewhat.

Tru Hair does no get the best reviews. I use Xfusion on my thinning areas but the Roux Tween Time on the roots,big difference.

Sometimes I fill in thinning areas with Roan Rivers,but I dont use the brush it comes with, I dab it on with a makeup sponge.

@monicakm the Calista one is a loose powder you dab on and blend. I just feel it's easier the Color Wow is a pressed kind of powder that I feel takes more effort, I never seem to pick up enough with the brush.

Hi !

I just posted in Beauty purchases that I purchased Get Back Gorgeous Womens Hair Fibers . I have very fine hair that is salt & pepper . I have been using it for a few days and love it . I don't know if thiness is a problem but I put the dark brown on the back of my hair where its thin and it covers amazing . I just purchased a gray one for the front of my hair where the silver is .

Sometimes the applicator and not the cover powder can be unwieldy. I found I get better coverage with a sponge rather than with a brush. Right now I use BOLDIFY Root Cover Powder from Amazon.

@San Antonio Gal Isn't Chelsea Scott the same vendor you said you don't have confidence in any of her products on the Beauty Spy thread?
