Overall score: 83/100
Tested September 2018
This Umberto Giannini instant root concealer is a handy dual purpose product. It not only covers greys and roots but can be used to give the illusion of thicker fuller hair too! The product claims that the colour blending spray helps to fill in the gaps to perfect the hairline and disguise roots. The formulation is weather resistant and claims to easily wash out with shampoo. It is also vegan friendly.
The product is packaged in a slim metallic hot pink can with a spray nozzle applicator. The colour is buildable in layers and comes in two shades, brunette and blonde.

It's easy to use, testers found the instructions easy to follow and the product quick to apply. A good all-rounder for both covering greys and roots, testers noted that it left the hair shiny and looking well-conditioned as well! 76% agreed that the product didn't leave their hair feeling heavy or greasy and their hair was not left looking flat. Testers noted that the coverage lasted for a few days between washes but still washed out easily with shampoo. The formulation was non-irritating and testers needed just one application, on average.
