Overview
Anyone with a few stray grays at the hairline gets a pen here that paints temporary color exactly where needed. The precision brush reaches fine hairline sections, and the creamy pigment dries without stiffness and rinses out at the next shampoo.
Pinpoint coverage for scattered grays avoids the overspray of powders and sprays. The color washes out, and it is meant for light gray only, so heavier regrowth needs another product.
Who it's for
People stretching time between color appointments will reach for it before events. Those with widespread gray need a permanent root color instead.
Pros and cons
- Precise brush tip
- Washes out with shampoo
- No ammonia or peroxide
- Dries without stiffness
- Light gray coverage only
- Small amount of product
Performance notes
Color is dispensed by twisting the base, so the amount on the brush controls coverage. Pulling hair away from the scalp while dabbing holds pigment on the strand, and letting it dry prevents transfer.
