Cover Your Gray Fill In Powder - BlacK

This product continues to work well for me and matches my hair color.

GREAT PRODUCT

Love this product. I've used this for years..I'm not balding I'm greying and this covers your scalp beautifully. A little goes a long way. I can go two days before I wash it out, before it becomes itchy...

(This review addresses coloring the scalp to conceal thinning areas ONLY, NOT to covering gray hair. I've never used a fill-in powder to cover gray hair and have no idea how that would work.) This is the only fill-in powder product I've ever used other than a product that comes in a shaker bottle, excellent product but the shaker is not precise enough when using close to the face. I've learned from my experience with that product that these fill-in powders cover best if you choose the shade one step darker than your hair color. My natural hair color is light Ash brown, I use the medium brown in the shaker product, so I bought medium brown in this product. This medium brown is lighter, and true to my experience, not quite dark enough to give good coverage without applying more than should be necessary (which results in rub-off issues). Next time, I'll get the dark brown, and I'm sure that will work as I expect. As I've grown older I've also learned that shampooing every day is a sure-fire path to damaging my very fine hair, so I try to limit it to twice a week, filling in with dry shampoo if necessary. The shaker product I use stays in place from shampoo to shampoo, this one doesn't do quite as well unless I cover it with good jolt of hair spray. Not a real big deal but something I have to remember when applying. I've become annoyed over the inadequate case it's in. After a few uses, loose powder develops on top of the compressed powder, and that makes for a mess in the sink that has to be cleaned every time I use it. I don't want to blow away that loose powder because that's just a waste, I use that loose stuff on top. I ended up putting the whole thing in a small jewelry box to contain the mess, which takes up more room in an already over-full make up drawer, and it's just and annoying hassle that shouldn't be necessary. It needs a deeper case. Finally, the accompanying brush is HOPELESS and has been shedding from the very first use. It'll be bald before the product is gone. If you're going to put out a quality product, don't pair it with a gross brush that sheds all over that product! ICKY! Overall, I'm satisfied with the product (dismissing the error in getting the color right), but I'm docking one star for the fact that it doesn't stay in place quite as well as the shaker product I use, for the case that doesn't contain the loose powder that's inevitable, and for the hopeless brush that I'll replace the first time I'm in a store and it comes to mind.

Love it. So easy to brush on and blend in. My hair is thinning at the top and this blends in so well you can't even tell. My hair looks thicker naturally.

I have baby-fine hair that is very thin. The fill in I use helps hide my scalp. I've been using it for years.

I have black/brown hair and saw a review that said the black was good for dark brown hair, but the color I got is gothic jet black, with a greenish tinge, which looks pretty strange on my black/brown hair. If I use a teeny bit and brush it out, it gives a light tint to the roots but won't cover gray, just gives a little tint to the few dark gray stands I have, so it's OK, but I won't be reordering, due to the messiness. I'm sure this would be good for those with jet black hair, and if your roots are dark gray. Pros: The packaging is nice, and the price is good. It leaves your hair feeling soft instead of that stiff feel you get with the mascara type coverups. Cons: It's messy; the powder gets all over the sink, and your forehead. It comes off on my sun hat, and also on my towels, after I wash my face. The brush provided sheds a ton with each use, so you'll need to get a different brush. This won't will cover silver or white roots, but might give them a light tint.

This is the first product that I'm using of this kind so I can't make comparisons to other brands . It Covers your scalp really nice but it's hard to blend it out on your skin, often it looks blotchy on mine but when I put my hair up I don't mind it as much, all I need is the whiteness of my scalp not to shine through that badly and this powder does that job really well. Comes with a little brush which I hate because it sheds like crazy, but I'm still using it! The actual formula is powdery, similar to eyeshadows. It lasts for months because as the description says it's water and sweat proof. I work out every day and let me tell you, the product stays put. When I wash my hair I rub and massage my scalp really good, that's the only way to remove the powder. Then once my hair is dry I apply the stuff again. This means 2 applications per week for me as I'm washing my hair twice. I picked the shade medium brown and it's a perfect match. This stuff is giving me the confidence I need while I'm figuring out why my hair is thinning, I never miss applying it, I wouldn't even go outside without this.
