Cover Your Gray Fill In Powder - Dark Brown

color is right and works great

I was skeptical about this product (and similar products), but thought I would give it a whirl. All I can say is "WOW! It REALLY works!" I always had thick, lush hair, but due to a severe car accident, I'm required to take a number of medications that have the unfortunate side effect of causing significant hair thinning. I use a great Biotin supplement that has been extremely helpful, but I have baby fine hair and still have issues with my scalp showing through at the temples, if I pull my hair into a ponytail, there areas on the sides that look like "bald" streaks". If my hair is down (I have a medium length bob), there is an area just behind the center part at the crown of my head that also looks "bald", although it's really just fine hair without the necessary "weight" to fill in those areas.With this Fill in Powder, the areas of concern virtually disappeared before my eyes, I couldn't believe my eyes! The application process was simple and fast, and the results look completely natural! Another plus is the far that once applied, the product doesn't budge. No creeping, fading or undesirable rubbing off onto other areas of skin or clothing.I even used it in a pinch in place of my eyebrow powder (simply applied with my eyebrow brush). It worked beautifully and looked great! I'll still use my eyebrow powder on a regular basis, but it's good to know I have a backup if needed.Fantastic product, so much better than I expected. I wish I had discovered it sooner!

Gets the job done = HAPPY!!1st dab powder 4-5 times on top of head where hair roots are growing out. 2nd GENTLY press powder down. 3rd LIGHTLY stroke powder onto hair (as if painting a detail with a paint brush).Add a couple of light strokes of product between the temples/ears where roots tend to show first.-Purchased dark brown (as suggested); my hair color is currently copper red tint (now sun faded) on top of my natural medium brown hair and had—NO issues with brush, because of using a VERY light touch (as suggested). [FYI a smaller blush brush or an eyebrow brush can be used.]Unless the people you meet are specifically looking and investogating for roots growing out in your hair, it is surprisingly not that noticeable even though the color is not an exact match!If your COLORED hair color is DARKER than your natural hair (that is growing out either salt&pepper or grey or silver or white) then this is a great option!This can work for sure for hair that has not been colored for 4-6 weeks (depending on frequency of your hair coloring cycle) - and POSSIBLY stretch all the way up until the time where there will be one inch of roots showing. (this is on the optimistic side with as much as 1 inch!)Depending on the speed of your hair growth(?) you MAY be able to use this product UP TO 3 weeks past the ”time of expiration” of when you normally color your hair.If you color your hair as often as every 4 weeks you may have a total of “up to” a 7 week “grace period” with this product. If you color your hair less frequently like every 6 weeks you may be able to use this powder successfully until it’s been 8 weeks. since you last colored it.Peace of mind: This powder can assist you in putting your hair coloring cycle further out by about 2-3 weeks. These are all general guessesand hopefully a useful review.

This is a good product, at less than 1/3 the price of the one I had been using. I'm curious whether those who reported that it didn't work ordered it too light for their hair. I needed two shades darker than my hair.I had been using Joan Rivers "Great Hair Day" to fill in a thinning spot. It is an excellent product but costs a King's Ransom. The Irene Gari Fill In Powder is a good product, but not as good as Joan Rivers' which lasts longer, stays put better, and has a better brush.Irene Gari does not last quite as long, and requires tiny touch-ups between shampoos. I found it a little quicker and easier to apply, because the powder is softer. It also "migrates" meaning that the color moves around on my head, even when I apply hairspray (a must). I found it bled down and colored my forehead by the end of the day. Could be embarrassing. (My thin spot is near the front of my head.) It is affordable, just in case you are not made of money.I have light brown hair. The Joan Rivers in blond is quite dark, and matches my hair perfectly. The Irene Gari in dark brown was about the same as Joan Rivers' blond, and matched my hair perfectly. If you buy the Irene Gari, get a darker shade than your hair (I chose two shades darker.) Some reviewers said the dark brown color had shades of red or purple in it. That's what I thought at first, but when I ran the brush over it, I saw that the reddish color was due to slight oxidation on the surface only, and it did not add any red or purple to my hair.Many said their Irene Gari product arrived broken. I found mine extremely well-packaged and it arrived in perfect condition. Overall, I am happy with this product as an affordable alternative. Apply sparingly to avoid having the product spread to areas you don't want it. 4 stars.

Also excellent coverage! Thank you.
