Charles Worthington Instant root concealer spray - Dark Brown

Product Information

You can still see where my root line is in the photo taken from above, but if you look straight on, everything blends. It’s quite easy to apply as well, you just sort of tap the brush against the area you want to cover, and the powder comes out. 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).

I’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. Our team of experts know that the secret to hassle-free healthy hair lies in selecting and combining the best haircare ingredients that nature and science have to offer, to give your hair immediate results. 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!) 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.

We’ve all been there. Busy schedules, stints of isolation, that wait until payday, or honestly, just life, can get in the way of keeping on top of your hair colour. Making that salon appointment or buying that box dye can easily slip slightly further down the to-do list and before you know it, those inescapable roots start creeping through. 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. Three decades of salon expertise and a passion for understanding women's hair has taught us that when your hair is at its healthiest, it’s at its best. 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!

It took a lot of rubbing with wet cotton wool pads to get rid of the colour. The only thing that saved me was a lot of brushing and generous spray of Philip Kingsley’s One More Day dry shampoo – an absolute life saver! 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. 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. It’s faintly, but pleasantly scented. The super soft brush, which is prone to splaying almost immediately is, in my opinion, far too big to accurately target regrowth.

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.” I didn’t get on with this product at all. The colour was completely off and unnatural, it dulled my hair and was messy to use. Not for me. 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.
