Is there any brand of root touch up (to cover sparse hair spots on head) that doesn't contain talc? I have checked out so many and they all have talc in their ingredient list. I prefer a powder for the couple sparse spots I have on my head.

Are you allergic to talc?   Are you sure that this product even exists?

Powders have talc ..... the only other thing I can think of is a colored dry shampoo .... Batiste makes dry shampoos in several colors , blonde, brown, all sorts of shades.  I've used that to spray on my roots .... but I have no idea what the ingredients are ... probably has talc.   

Good luck.

@LuvmyLab  I use Sevich brand, their Hair Line Powder between hair color appointments.  It's talc free.  I looked high and low for a product after talc began to make my scalp itchy, I guess I became allergic.  It's quite inexpensive and works just as well as the $30. products I used previously.  It comes with a small powder puff type applicator inside the cap but I prefer to use my own small brush. They also have another temporary coloring product with thickening fibers.  I haven't tried that one so I don't know if it's talc free. I hope this helps!

I think I recommended this before, but I love Joan River's Great Hair Day....It's waterproof, covers roots, brows, and a few thinning spots I have at my temples when I wear my hair back. I can wear it any time since it's sweatproof, as well.

I like "Color Wow" in  the Lt, Brown shade only. Dont use the dark blonde- it's way too yellow. But if you have brown hair medium tones use their brown shades. I dont know if it has talc but it has good coverage and you can build it up as you wish.

I have a drawer full.  My favorite is Toppik.  I am a dark brunette but use the med brown.  Here is a list of the ingredients.

Keratin

Ammonium Chloride

Silica

Aqua

DMDM Hydantoin

Depending on the color of hair chosen, there are different color additives such as:

C1 15510

C1 15985

C1 17200

C1 61570

C1 45380

I just tap, tap in on my head. It is more like fibres than a powder.  Do not need to brush it in.

It covers bald spots and greys the best for me.  Totally fills in.  Does not sweat out.  I don't bother to set with hair spray.  Lasts til I wash it out.

My second fav is Color Wow as mentioned and 3rd is JR Great Hair day.  While this dulls the grey, it does NOT cover as well as my 1st two choices.  I have very stubborn bright grey and Joan's just help diminish the appearance...but if you get too close.....

@Tinkrbl44  I'm not allergic to talc, as far as I know, but I've heard it's not a good ingredient to have in products.

Where did you get your information about talc? 

As far as I know, and according to credible sources, talc is safe to use today.

[SilleeMee]

The FDA is continually monitoring potential asbestos content in cosmetic talc. They have found and recalled some products. The majority of cosmetics which contain talc are safe to use.

@SilleeMee  Actually I read that on a post on these boards some time ago.  Someone mentioned that talc was bad.  I have done more research and found that talc isn't all that bad.
