Charles Worthington Instant root concealer spray - Dark Brown

Product Information

For best results apply to dry, styled hair and set with hairspray. To prime, ( gently) tap the brush head firmly on a hard surface until powder begins to release. Admittedly, I got off to a bad start. The powder managed to work its way into the lid without me even opening it. It collected so much powder that it spilled everywhere when I did prise it open. As someone said above, the powder is indeed very fine and flies all over the place.

It is great that you can build the colour by applying more, as blonde hair tends to have lots of different tones. ( Whereas this has just one, flat one).The magical technology, Matte Veil, ensures the pigment particles temporarily bind to each strand of hair. The technology works by harnessing the moisturisers in the formula to surface coat each of the powder particles so that, on application, they instantly adhere to the hair and when they are dispensed through the genius brush applicator, the pigments produce a thinly coated layer of colour. Charles Worthington had root concealers before, selling at the rate of one a minute, and now this new formula with brush is sure to sell the same way. But, since my hair makeover last month, my hair now falls into the more ‘normal’ category, so, when I was offered the chance to try the new Charles Worthington Instant Root Concealer Powder, I jumped at it!

I was concerned that this product would be messy ( it IS messy!) to use as it is a powder, but it was easy to use with no powder flying everywhere ( OMG! You fibber!) helps protect the scalp and absorb moisture and Dimenthicone to help condition the hair so it feels soft and silky. And how should you best apply it? My second niggle – apart from the mess of dabbing it on my hair, was that it turned my scalp bright yellow. The powder clung to my roots (which to be fair, that’s what it was designed to do), but then ventured onto my scalp and wouldn’t budge. We’ve found some of the best root touch-up powders for all hair colours, many of which have been tried, adored, and used time again by celebrities and their stylists. Other key ingredients include Iron Oxides, triple milled to produce a micro fine powder to aid spreading and even colour coverage; Corn Starch whichI’ve used the dark blonde shade here, and it matched my hair really well. I’d say, if you have a big night out just before your next salon appointment, then give these a go. I think because my natural hair has a lot of grey in it now, the powder colour did grasp better. My top tip would be to tap the brush head firmly on a hard surface until the powder begins to release and then start to gradually build up the colour until you’re happy with the coverage. It’s so simple but so clever.”
