Testing Style Edit Root Spray

Before/After

Root Spray Winner: L’Oreal

Pro Tip – Place a q-tip on your part before you spray! This will eliminate the overspray to your scalp!

We are sticking with our OG roots [pun intended] here! Our tried and true blue bottle favorite of L’oreal – we’ve been using for years has great coverage & hasn’t steered us wrong yet! Erin uses dark blonde, Jen uses medium brown in the spray!

If you’re looking to dip into the root powder game, Color WOW gets our vote! Application was a breeze and we loved having the full control of the brush[sometimes the overspray can get on your scalp from the sprays] Erin uses the dark blonde and Jen uses the medium brown powder!
