Garnier Express Retouch Root Concealer for Black Hair, 10 ml

Have to say I am shocked by the reviews I've read on here. I'm glad I didn't read them before ordering. I found this so easy to use. Why people are getting it all over there scalps it beyond me as its so easy to put on accurately. Also it stays in place until you wash your hair and you don't end up with streaks across your forehead. I've tried the sprays which are impossible to apply as they colour your scalp and using the black makes you look like you are wearing a wig. I've also tried the eyeshadow type ones which smear constantly and don't have any staying power. Honest I could not recommend this enough.

The color was nothing like the picture on the box. It is supposed to "Lt Blond" but was more like a brown/gold color. I used it hoping the end result would be as expected. Usually with these colors you can't always tell until you've gone through the process and hair is dry. It made my roots darker than before and served no purpose at all. In fact it made the roots like steel wool you use to clean pots. This is the worst product I think I have ever used and can't understand how the manufacturers are even able to sell it especially for the price of £7!!! Do not buy this product. Amazon should send all their supplies back to the manufacturers and get a refund. Picture of my roots to prove the end result attached.

If you want full coverage of grey then it's not for you. If you want to compliment roots with some colour it's suitable. Like the sponge applicator though

I like this as it’s small enough to carry around and very easy to use as you simply shake and dab it on your grey hair wherever you want it. No mess, no fuss. Also lasts ages. I have previously used the spray and mascara types which are not great as the accuracy of the spray can be off and you end up with black (the colour I use) on your forehead and the mascara type wands end up pulling strands of hair and depositing black blobs elsewhere. This is by far the best for accuracy in my opinion.

This root concealer did not work for me , I have grey around my fringe hair line which I normally cover with either John Frieda or L'Oreal both good for blondes.. but as this was cheaper decided to give it a go but it left me with a sluggish light brown color, where as others give a flattering ice blonde color.

Really handy little pot, just great to have for between colouring when the roots are starting to show! Easy to apply and then blast with hairdryer. Have used powders in the past but this is less messy!

This stuff is horrible. It is difficult to apply, doesn’t cover roots and dries stiff. As if that wasn’t enough it doesn’t wash out properly and turns gluey. It looks like brown cradle cap! I’m currently scraping it out of my hair.

I used this today and can’t say a bad word about it. The instructions are easy to read and as long as you follow them you’re fine, I haven’t had any colour on my scalp and it is one of the easiest root retouches I’ve used. Thoroughly recommend.
