Review: For those times when you want to hide the grey but aren't interested in a full hair dye. - I bought this because I don't have that much grey coming in and only occasionally, need the grey to be less obvious. Otherwise, most days I am fine with my Elsa Bride of Frankenstein grey streaks coming in on both sides of my head. Applying it is super easy. It covers the grey beautifully. It lasts all day and until washed (or exposed to water! Watch out for rain, sprinklers and pools). It doesn't smudge all over everything else. Its a great, quick cheat for covering up gray in a hurry (and temporarily). The downsides is that it is a cover on your hairs and this means that you cannot (and should not) try to run your fingers through it like you would natural hair. If you do, you will find that your fingers get caught in your hair like you are wearing too much hair spray or hair gel. If you are styling your hair or covering grey for a special occasion, who is going to risk messing up your hair by putting their grubby fingers in it anyway? Now, if you find yourself unexpectedly swept away into a night of passion with someone and they want to run their fingers through your hair and whisper sweet nothings into your ear under the moonlight... oh who are we kidding with this? If THAT happens, the last thing we are worried about is messing up our hair or our love struck companion wondering why you have so much hair spray in your hair.. LOL It can rub off so be mindful of that and check in a mirror if you are frequently touching your face or hair. I enjoyed this product and it was exactly what I needed to temporarily cover gray so I didn't have to destroy my hair with hair dye for an occasional need.
Review: Excellent Coverage and no tub residue - Excellent! Covering roots is so easy and covers well. No tub residue like other powders which leave a ring near the bottom of the tub.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi! I want to know haw long does it last one box if you use it ones a week? Tanks**
A: I have had my Color Wow Root Cover Up since May, 2014 and use it frequently, maybe once a week, and still have a majority of it left.  I love it.  It blends in well with my color and I can wait 3 times as long to apply color to my hair by using it.  I highly recommend this product.  I'm sure the one compact of powdered color will last me a full year if not longer.

**Q: Trying to figure out which to get the medium brown or dark brown? Any suggestions on how to choose?**
A: I use this to cover silver / grey roots (80% +) in the front of my head.  I color to a dark blonde (level 6-7). I opted to go medium brown rather than dark blonde in this product,  assuming the very light roots would lighten up the medium brown Color Wow.  It is a great match and so happy with my choice; I have extended my root coloring by 2+ weeks using this product.

**Q: What are the ingredients in this product?  Has it been evaluated for toxicity by a group like Skin Deep?**
A: Hello, Thank you for your message. The ingredients are as follows: synthetic Fluorphlogopite, talc, mica, octyldodecyl steroyl stearate, ethylhexyl, palmitate, zinc stearate, silica, zea mays starch, pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, kaolin, phenoxyethanol, dimethicone, triethoxycaprylysilane, ci77499, ci 77491.

**Q: does this wash out of your hair in the rain? How many uses in the compact?**
A: My hair hasn't been rained on.  It has been snowed on and it didn't rinse out.  It completely washes out during a shampoo.  I don't know how many uses in the compact.  I would think it varies according to how much outgrowth there is  My sister has had hers about 6 months & does not have to reorder yet.She uses it about 3 times a week

Excellent! Covering roots is so easy and covers well. No tub residue like other powders which leave a ring near the bottom of the tub.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it - black
*by P***C on June 11, 2025*

This powder is expensive but it's worth it for so many reasons. It's easy to use (no worrying about a spray spraying all over the place), portable and convenient for travel and on-the-go touch-ups, washes out easily, and doesn't irritate my scalp. I find that the black covers my greys quite well - the key is to LOAD UP THE BRUSH with plenty of powder. I usually load the brush with 5 strokes of powder (from top to bottom) before applying, and I "reload" the brush frequently as well. The downside is that it takes much longer to apply than a spray, especially if you have several spots you need to cover, and it's harder to apply to the back of the head. It's not going to give you full-head coverage whereas with a spray you could spray all over to cover up as much as you want. The powder holds up quite well, usually a couple days for me. But it's NOT 100% transfer-proof. When I touch my hair, a faint grayish tinge sometimes appears on my fingers, so I have to be careful.
