Best Hair Color To Cover Gray Reviews (2024 Updated)

I used the Medium Brown Touch of Gray for years then switched to Control GX for about a year. The GX seemed easier but not great coverage unless I used very frequently and seemed to get blotchy dark areas etc.

My new Barber said stop using it. It doesn’t look good. I went back to Touch of Gray, My Barber said what did you do it looks great? So I use it about every 2 weeks On day of haircut (#6 blade on sides) short on top and then 2 weeks later which takes me to next haircut 2-3 weeks.

I don’t use the Comb I don’t use enclosed oversized plastic gloves (too Messy) I use latex gloves apply it all over and wipe off any that gets on skin with tissue. I leave it on about 7 min I don’t get the advertised Salt and Pepper but more overall coverage that is somewhat translucent and shows some gray depending on light conditions It looks natural I tell some people I color my hair and they said they never would have guessed.

I have used hair coloring products (Original JFM + others) for years and also used Touch of Gray previously. Since I have colored my hair 6-8 times per year for over 10 years, I find it relatively easy to color my hair.

My recent experience was frustrating because it seemed like the coloring out of the tube was a lot thinner and runny. I didn’t care for the comb included. I left the product on my hair for 10 minutes versus the 5 minutes (starts when 100% complete with application) as instructed.

Results were HANDFULS OF GRAY and not touch of gray. The frustration when dealing with a runny product was compounded by the weak gray coverage. Maybe I got a bad batch. This product was not easy to use, did not get rid of desired amount of gray and was messy to apply.

I will switch to the Autostop product because of all the prior success with JFM products.

It’s a lot closer to black than brown, but nothing wrong with that unless you’re expecting brown. It could be that it shows darker on me since my original natural color is black, even though it’s white now.

Main thing is it looks like a natural color. The next shade darker (Black) can look unnatural, with a purple tint. So I recommend Dark Brown over Black even if you’re looking for black.

I have very fine (but ample) wavy/puffy hair that goes to my mid back. It’s naturally about a dark/medium brown that sun bleaches easily. I used to dye my hair with N4 and vol 20 developer but my hairdresser said my natural colour is so close that it’s not worth the damage I was causing.

Because of how fine and wavy my hair is it just doesn’t react well to any kind of harsh chemicals and quickly becomes dry and brittle. My hairdresser suggested transitioning to a semi and this product is almost perfect! Yes, it doesn’t last as long as permanent but I really like how it allows my natural tones to still show vs the solid single tone you get from permanent.

You don’t get the harsh grow out line and there’s zero long-term damage risks. I have like 5 grey hairs and it doesn’t do a whole lot for them but it does blend them for the first few washes. I’ve removed a star because it bleeds every time you wash your hair and by the time the bleeding stops the colour is gone.

I wanted to love this SO bad. It’s so easy and convenient. I could have touched up my hair anytime and any day of the week with ease. However- This is neither “medium brown” OR ashy. Total BRASS PALE BROWN, if you can call it brown at all.

This product was absolutely awful. I also tried the black. Again. black is NOT black. At best, it came out a brassy medium brown. So so so disappointed.

After years of using curl mousse products, it’s definitely the best one i ever had !!! First, the smell is gorgeous, and i couldn’t stop smelling my hair even one day after using it, that’s how divine it is ! Second, the texture is so smooth !! Really felt amazing compared to the other mousses i tried ! And let’s not forget the result ! Which i am very happy with, did help making my curls look nice and did not make huge and hard bulks of hair or anything as some would have done from what i used to have before.

Definitely recommend, think i’ll stick to this one from now on !! :).

Worked great, not so sticky like regular mascara I tried! Big mess. This you have to just remove a little by brushing off some on tissue then apply. Lasts long. Great product. & seller recommended.

Great application. Blends perfectly without hardening so you can blend in with a brush. Choose a few different colors to blend in so it looks more natural with all strands of your hair. Great product!

This product has saved me over the holidays. Had to cancel a hair appointment at the last minute over the holiday and thank God I had this product because I was able to use it and it held me over until my next appointment.

I received these products for free from Influenster and Zotos Professional in exchange for my honest review. My #complementary #ABStarterKitVoxBox from @zotosprofessional arrived and I was so excited to get creative and color my hair.

It was super simple to apply and let me tell you it smells so good! It contains biotin which I love to use to keep my hair healthy. I did notice my hair was a bit dry and frizzy after. The shampoo and conditioner are included as well as a color remover pad.

Overall I loved the result and would recommend to friends and family.

Green white and black box will take your hair out!!!! It colors good but, you will notice your hair breaking off!!! Don’t use it unless you want your hair damaged!!!!

Just got this yesterday and here’s the deal yall… it’s basically heavily pigmented powder eyeshadow that you pack on your roots to “disguise them instantly” with a two sided densely packed brush. Ok, so I can see this product working wonders for grey roots on dark and black hair, no doubt that’s why it’s won Allures Best of Beauty several years in a row.

( also a reason I picked it up in the first place, I shoulda researched a little more) But, for us blondeys , try as it might and claim as it does, this product isnt going to cover dark roots up, it’s just not.

It literally can’t. It is common sense really I was just hoping for a magic product or something here and let’s face it, they don’t exist, you have to cancel out the color completely through bleaching then adding tones lowlights whatnot and that is the only way to truly make dark roots blonde.

The Only way. But if you’re wanting grey coverup I see this product working wonders!!.

I’m going to tell you a little secret! I use this Wow touch up in red for my eyebrows. I have never been able to find a decent color in any pencil, brow dip, or brow powder to match my eyebrows and this Wow product for hair touch up worked for me.

I’ve also used it to touch up my grays in but it doesn’t match my hair color. Great product all and all though. They just need to come with a rocking red to hook me up.

I discovered this product during an emergency visit to Blo BlowDryBar in West Village. My blonde roots grow out pretty quickly and I have a dark brown to blonde balayage, so this powder is my savior.

It prevents me from having to get a root touch up every 3 weeks. The color is absolute perfection and the texture sticks to the hair strands and not to the scalp so it looks completely natural. It even manages to fill in any sparse areas to make your hair look fuller and thicker.

One side of the brush applicator is short, soft and dense to pack the product on press where it need it on your hair, the other side of the applicator’s bristles is wider to brush away any excess powder.

It doesn’t smear or stain your pillows and is waterproof until you shampoo it out. Ah-mazing!.

Easy to use. Great coverage for grey roots. Using brown for medium blonde hair. Spray over grey roots, let sit for a while, comb trough to blend in. It stays on till you wash your hair again. Tried 2 other name brands but will only continue to use this product.

Gets rid of those stubborn greys! Since I haven’t been able to have my hair professionally touched up, I’ve relied on spray-on temporary color and it really works! It’s getting kind of hard to find them online, since no doubt many thousands of people have the same problem as I did, so when you see one, grab it!.

Great product. ! You can cover your grey before or after styling or both. It is light as a feather and looks natural. No mess and is not sticky or gummy. You won’t notice anything except that your grey is gone! Love it!.

The product is something new we had to try since they no longer sell the liquid form of this product, but we were totally satisfied with the product coming in a gel form and mixing it. The color was not applied with a brush comb as suggested, I mixed it and put it in the color bottle and it was fine.

Good color, easier to use in the bottle then the liquid. I think I used even less with this product for better results.

I suggest you use one third or half the tube on shortish kept hair. Repeat weekly or 2 weekly. do not rinse out vigorously. Slight dressing of coconut oil will keep the sheen. Wash the oil or any brylcream etc out thoroughly and dry before next application or you will block the colour binding to hair shaft.

Pat hair flat while colour is on head. Vaseline ears to protect them. Very pleased and the girls keep saying. you look different’ but cannot pinpoint the subtle darkening effect.

As I was living in the US, I started using this product there. It is very simple to employ and its effect lasts 4 to 6 weeks. I never had problems with, itching or whatever. I have difficulties to buy it from France.

The price was very reasonable in the US and less when bought from France. Difficult to recommend it as it may affect People in a different way,.

Excellent product. Does what it says on the box. Very natutal look.

My mom uses this for her scalp, thinning hair. I tried it at my temples as the only place my greys have come in. Loved it! I have a grey hair in my brow. It sticks straight out. Couldn’t find 1 of 7 pairs of tweezers so I picked up my tweeze.

I wanted it to catch that one hair. Before I turned it on I said to myself ‘this isn’t going to end well. ‘ It didn’t. pretty much snatched every hair except the grey. Everything I tried from $10 to $120.

None lasted all day. This DOES!! I feel awesome as the one eyebrow look doesn’t suit me. Excellent coverage and the best eyebrow filler I’ve ever used. Glad I took a chance. I really can’t provide pics as once filled in they look like natural, organic brows.

Also, I definitely cannot put the pic out with my one great brow and the shoddily sparse almost all missing brow!!.

Like a lipstick, perfect for my purse, travel, but the part is that it covers my grey beautifully. I just discovered this product while surfing Walmart. com; I’m so glad I did. There are different shades you can use.

Try it, you will love it! Btw, it is a temporary color so even if you put it on too dark, just run a little water over your hair and lessen the tone. At least that is what I found to help.

I use the dark brown and use it quite often in between coloring. It’s easy to apply, stays put and doesn’t run or transfer to other surfaces. It is easy to remove once you shampoo. The dark color easily covers my gray spots in a matter of minutes! And don’t forget to enhance your eyebrows! The brush is o.

k. , but this little powder compact is a great quality for the cost. I would recommend to anyone! (4-18-16 lgk).

When traveling and the need arrives for gray cover ups, I simply reachinto my hair product bag and render a quick, 30 second aplication. Followed up with black hair gel and I am good to go.

Great product – let’s me stretch out the dying of my hair by keeping those pesky roots looking dark for a couple of weeks longer!

Blends well. Great coverage. A wonderful item. Priced well.

Ive always used LaRiche ever since I discovered them over 10 years ago so I can wholeheartedly recommend the brand. But each colour has its own pigment problems. Unfortunately yellow dyes dont stick well and Sunflower is no exception.

Luckily I have very short hair so the tub lasts me for months (you dont have to use it all in one go you can save it for up to 3 months after you open it). But I will have to keep topping up the colour every week or so.

But the colour is glorious! And the quality is the usual LaRiche standard so buy with confidence.

I bought the colour Ebony and never has any other hair dye, black or another colour. stainer so much as this did. The floor of my shower is completely blue, and so is my back. So be aware of that. My hair is black, so it did work.

The undertone is not the best and some spots look a bit greenish. I had light pink hair before applying Ebony. However, I have used pinks and oranges from Directions before, and those were good for the price and fade nicely.

But again, there are better options.

I tried a lot of La Riche shades while I was bleaching. They are well pigmented, cheap, have a great selection and would be a good choice if you want more than one colour in your hair. White toner: I didn’t think this really did anything unfortunately and I would have always gone for silver toner Silver toner: was amazinb to lighten to white or beyond to silver etc.

Even though it always looked a bit scary as a bog tub of navy blue. Daffodil: a great bright yellow shade that lasted about 2 weeks before it just looked like brassy blond. This was the colour I always found washed out quickest.

Flamimgo: a lovely pink colour that I usually watered down with conditioner to get a pastel shade which would usually last a month before needing topping up. Carnation pink: this one was a good shade too, though I found it lasted longer than flamingo.

Neon Blue: this was a very dark blue, I didn’t like this as it gave my hair a shiny/cheap wig look unfortunately. It took about 3 months to fade into a nice pastel that i did like- and that was without using any colour protection.

It also wouldn’t fade completely as a semi permanent so I ended up having to grow and cut it out.

I have been using khadi hazel for many years, in Europe and then in the US, ordering from Europe. Hazel covers my greys well, without too much redish tone. The color is a medium/ light brown that blends well with my mefium brown natural color.

I love that this product is consistant in color and quality. Before using Khadi, I used to use Lush henna but it caused itchiness to my scalp. Khadi color does not have side effects and this is problably because of its clean ingredients and no frangrance added.

Thank you khadi for having a US store now!.

I love this color! On me, it is the perfect shade of warm brown. I get those warm cinnamon tones with enough brown that keeps it from looking too coppery. I plan on ordering the dark brown next to use on my roots, but I will continue to use the hazel on the rest of my hair.

I have never been so impressed with a dark hair dye in my life. I bought the juniper green and used it to dye a chunk of my hair. The texture of the dye itself is very thick, and therefore less likely to drip and splatter.

It smells fantastic, almost like something you would find in an apothecary. I had previously made the mistake of using splat and completely ruining the bathtub, but this dye took maybe a minute before the water ran clear, and what few stains were left behind came out effortlessly with a magic eraser.

Despite the lack of sticking or transferring of dye to skin, this looks FANTASTIC. The color is vibrant and absolutely gorgeous (photos of the dye itself on the website are very accurate), and while I’ve only just done it I’m eager to see how long this lasts.

Not only that, but I used this on freshly-bleached hair and the dye itself made it feel softer and look less damaged. Stunning, impressive, I can’t even begin to dream of going back. Absolutely stellar product.

This is probably one of the worst hair dyes I’ve ever used. I mixed it with the Blue Velvet because I wanted a slightly more blue shade. It came out a little dark and more purple, but that would have been fine if it didn’t get absolutely everywhere.

I dyed my hair back in August and the dye still stains everything. If anything touches my hair, it will stain. And whenever I wash my hair, which is only every couple of weeks because I have naturally coily and damaged hair, more dye comes out.

I rinse until the water becomes clear and it will still stain something later. Up until like a week ago, my fingers still turned blue when I scratched my head. And the worst part is that when I straighted the front of my hair, some of the dye must have come off because some strands turned blonde again.

I still have a full container left because I did a 1:1 ratio with the blue velvet, and I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. The only reason I gave two stars was because the color was pretty.

Dude this is the best and most coverage hair dye I’ve ever used! Even for its size, when I had shoulder length hair hardly even used a full container, now I use 1/3 for my short hair. I tried Arctic Fox before I learned about this and the color would wash out first wash! I have used Lunar Tides over a year now and I’m AMAZED at how long the color holds.

I have naturally thick dark brown hair so to use a product I can put right over without bleaching first is a key thing. Plus it softens my hair and smells good. I’ve used black, blue, green, pink, orange from them so far and I love the way my hair looks and feels and the fading of colors doesn’t look ew either.

Tinta is ok. I’ve been having a lot of complaints about grey coverage recently so I’m apt to believe there’s been a formula change. It’s a very translucent line so if you are used to opaque color you will have a difficult time transitioning.
