The hair product is from popular beauty brand L’Oreal, and is an affordable solution to keeping hair colour looking fresh temporarily.
With many cutting back on how often they go to the salon as living expenses continue to rise, some are finding at-home alternatives.
Those who would usually get their roots coloured or greys dyed have discovered a product that helps them go longer without a hair appointment.
The L’Oréal Magic Retouch Instant Root Concealer Spray is a bestseller on Amazon and has racked up over 19,000 ratings, with some shoppers uploading photos to show how effective the product is for them.

The product is a temporary spray-on colour, which can be used on dyed or natural hair to conceal root re-growth or cover greys.
It’s handy for topping up on colour between hair appointments, or quick touch-ups to make hair appear thicker and colour more intense.
The colour is designed to stay in place through combing and brushing and can be easily washed out with any shampoo, although it is worth noting that some of the reviews mention that it can be messy to use so can take some practice to get the perfect application.
Containing up to 25 applications, the product comes in a choice of shades and provides natural-looking coverage.
Shoppers have been leaving feedback on the spray, with some even commenting that it can be used on beard hair too.
Penny said: ”I can’t live without this, saves me a fortune on having my hair done every six weeks. Easy to use and it’s a perfect match for my hair colour. Covers all grey!! Much cheaper than the supermarkets. Would highly recommend.”
Lisa Edwards said: ”A life saver in lockdown. Will continue to buy as an in between saver while waiting for hair appointments. Large can lasted well. Spray sparingly. Comes off skin very easily.”
Edit commented: ”Completely covers grey hair.”
Z also added: ”I have been using this product for a few months now, and I must say that it’s extremely effective. Once applied it lasts until the hair is shampooed which is different to other coverage products which come off in light rain. It does the job but definitely does not have 25 applications in it! Can be used on beard or hair, does cause some stray splashes on clothing, however, but generally it’s an excellent product.”
