Cover Your Gray Fill in Powder, Light Brown, 1 Count (Pack of 3)

'Thought I reviewed this product already, but here I go again... I'm a 45 yr old woman who has been struggling with hereditary hair loss since my early 30's. I've tried just about everything from supplements to hair pieces. I've also tried MANY other hair powders and "fibers" which always fall very short...horrifyingly so. (Except for "All Nighter" hair powder, which helps to volumize.) This fill-in powder is a MUST HAVE in my toolbox of camouflage potions and powders! I have dark brown hair, so I can use the "Dark Brown", which is a little lighter than my hair, or the "Black" which is a bit darker. It not only prevents the dreaded "halo" of a white scalp gleaming through thin dark hair (especially under overhead lighting...the HORROR most of you reading will understand;), but it sort'f "poofs" up my roots making me look like I actually have a glorious mane! I'm not kidding. It's amazing. My typical "gussy up" routine is: wash with Nioxin, towel dry, add Rusk "Thickr", blow dry upsidedown, then let my hair fall any way it wants so that all the cow licks and bald-ish spots show up. Then I go to work stippling this fill-in powder all over until I don't see any white scalp. After that, I'll part it where I want and use more powder in the thin areas, style and use Nioxin hair spray (my favorite because it's very light but has super holding power). Granted, I don't go through all of this daily, as I'm very low maintenance. But for special occasions, this is what works for me. Another important note about this product: I live in an extremely hot, humid, disgusting climate and this powder has NEVER run. How it stays put despite so much moisture, yet washes right out without any fuss is mystifying. Now, if I could just stop the shedding altogether....

Interesting. I was looking for the Claudia Stevens Cover That Gray fill-in powder that I usually order from Amazon and found this Irene Gari Cover That Gray powder. The products seem to be identical (including both are made by Fisk Ind.), with the exception that Irene Gari is sold in individual shades, whereas Claudia Stevens is sold in sets of 2 shades. Personally, I prefer the single shades. In both cases, I feel the name of the product line, Cover That Gray, is misleading. As far as I know, this product is not intended to help with covering gray hair; it is a powder to fill in thinning spots. As far as the product itself, I find that the fill-in powder works great at concealing thinning hair spots; you simply apply it with the included brush. The powder is available in four shades: Black Dark brown Medium brown Light brown/blonde The fill-in powder is reasonably priced and does a decent job. Would recommend.

The fill in color really doesn’t match my hair color so it doesn’t look right. This is something I feel like you really should see in person instead of trying to go by a picture. The size is small and brush is also very small.

Perhaps I just got the wrong color, but the powder for light brown hair is basically the same color as my face makeup, and when I put it on my grey roots, it looked like bald scalp! I didn't want to trade my grey hair for what looks like alarmingly thinning hair! Also, the brush that comes with the product is very poor quality. The moment I used it, bristles began falling out. (There seems to be a bald theme here)

Ok, so the item is described as "pack of 3", I received only one(not one package containing 3) which is why I rated value for the money low. As far as sheerness/thickness... I bought the light brown and have med auburn hair, with some loss around my temples due to medication. This color needed to be slightly darker for me, not the fault of the seller/manufacturer, this is more for a med blonde or really light brown hair. It isn't a heavy powder which is good and it stays on well, so sheerness there is good, coverage not so much(but again that could have been my color choice). I haven't seen it in a high-moisture environment, but if/when sweating a little it didn't run, which is good.

Absolutely love this product! As you can see the first picture is after I’ve applied and second picture is before. A significant difference! Not only is this is a great value for the money, but you supply much more product than some of the other ones that are significantly more expensive. I’ve probably tried 10 different products from sprays to brushes that have the powder in it to these products. Prices have ranged from yours up to and including $75. Not only do I like the color but I also like the application process and I love the brush that comes with it. I think you could begin to add some more shades and you would even have more people using. I just posted this on Facebook to 1000 of my friends so be prepared for some purchases coming your way.

So, I purchased this to cover roots in between coloring my hair. I bought the Light Brown. The product description states this: 'Get ready to love your hair again with Cover Your Gray Fill-In-Powder'. So, I bought it for just that reason. I've used a couple of other root scalp powders and most of them are way too dark so I always opt for the lighter end of the shade choices so that I dont get too dark of a color outcome. Well, this shade is not for any shade of brown hair, even the lightest brown. It barely covered my lightest roots. I used quite a bit with the brush and also with a cotton ball. Just seem to not appear on my hair and barely showed on my scalp either which is what it's mainly marketed for. It covered the very minimal amount. I'm thinking that I'd have to get the black shade to get best coverage but honestly the powder itself just didn't seem to pick up on my hair. Usually with these scalp and root hair covering powders a little goes a long way. Not this one. I didn't spend too much, thank goodness, but still disappointed. Can't be returned either... I gave this 2 stars because as I stated there was a minimal amount of coverage, just not enough for me. If you decide to buy, get the darkest or darker than your normal shade and maybe you'll have luck. Also, this has no scent and caused no irritation, so it gets a couple stars for reasons mentioned.

I love this stuff. I've been using a crayon, which works best on wet hair/scalp. This powder is so easy to apply, after hair is dried and styled, just pat on the thinning spots and around hairline. Looks natural, stays put, doesn't rub off and is so easy to apply at any time. And it's really reasonably priced compared to some others. Be sure to buy a shade darker than you would with JR, the shades run lighter with this product. Will definitely buy again. Shipping was fast and carefully packed.
