Ardell Gray Magic Color Additive for Hair Dye - Anti-Fade Gray Hair Coverage Booster Drops, Long-Lasting Hair Color Enhancer, 1 oz

I used this for the first time this weekend to see if it would help cover my more stubborn grays, and it worked great! It also had a bit of a toning effect on the color that took any of the redness out and gave it the true ash brown of the shade I use. It's supposed to help prevent fading too, so I'm curious to see if my color lasts longer than usual. I'll try to remember to update this in a few weeks.

Not bragging but, I don't look my age. It's basically genetics. I'm Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese and 5 other nationalities that tend to age well. The only thing that gives my age away is the stubbornly white hair at the edge of my jet black mohawk. Yes, I'm 46 with a mohawk. Trust me, I rock the hell out of it. No, it's not one of those punk rock, spiked in the air mohawks. My hair is naturally curly, so it's a soft, sexy version of mohawk. But a mohawk means the edges (front and sides) are highly visible, and the ribbon of white is a glaring neon sign advertising that I'm not in my 30's. And when I dye my hair, that edge of white starts showing again within a matter of days. Very annoying! Then I ran across this product.And holy crappasaurus rex! It totally works!!In fact, when I apply and comb through the white edges of my mohawk, I can see my hair absorb the blue-black dye like a sponge sucks up spilled ink. Instantly, the saturation is better and more vibrant. And when I rinse, there's less dye in water because more of it is in the hair shaft where I want it.Of course, only time will tell if it lasts longer. That's why I've only given it 4 stars. If you're reading this review and it has 5 stars, you'll know that it did last.*For reference, I used 12 drops per ounce of dye and rinsed with cool water. I also sprayed a 50/50 mixture of apple cider vinegar and water on my hair and scalp to neutralize the pH before using a non-sulfate conditioner.*UPDATE: Comparatively, with this product added to my hair dye, it lasts about 2 weeks before the white roots begin showing, which is a huge improvement, and is due simply to the fact that my hair grows pretty fast.

I've been dealing with resistant grays for about 2 years. I have gone completely gray in that time (according to my roots). I subscribed to a couple of well known hair coloring businesses thinking they could best deal with my grays, I couldn't have been more wrong. I dye my hair soft black and with resistant grays they turn light brownish red while my leftover remains soft black. I got so fed up I just started wearing my hair up in a messy bun 24/7 and to be honest I just gave up and stopped my subscriptions and was at a loss. Well I came across this and gave it one more try with store bought hair color. Oh my gosh I was absolutely so happy with the results. My stubborn grays was the color of the rest of my hair!! And it's not hard at all to add this to your routine. I will warn you that after you add this it does make the initial color on the roots sorta different than your used too, but pay no mind to that, it's normal for it to do that and does not mess with your results. You gotta try this ladies and gentlemen!! And I don't get paid to say this.

I've used this product for many years but ever since covid I hadn't been to go to my local store to buy it and that's how I ended up looking for it on Amazon and it worked out even better same product but far greater amount at a lower price. The product itself makes a noticeable difference in my opinion. Makes grey coverage better than hair color alone

Product IS quite dark in color. A dark brown. I use a medium blonde coloring so it really darkened the look of the coloring mixture I use. [Don't become alarmed though as the final results (at least for me) seem to be the same as normal; and I use a medium blonde hair color].It seems to always be hard to color the temple area gray during those times when one's hair is long and/or approaching the time for a hair cut. All in all the product seems to have helped color/cover the gray resistant areas around the temples better than what the hair color alone would do.I really want to try the product another couple times and then provide a more in-depth review. (the request for a product review popped up in my email from amazon, so I decided to give it some sort of a review at this time. So far it looks to be doing decent work with my gray).I'll update my review later, if anything significant changes, one way or the other.

Really helps cover gray hair especially on eyebrows. Color seems to last a little longer as well.

I have been coloring my hair the same color for many years. Light ash blonde. L’Oréal brand. Recently I’ve noticed my grays are more abundant and harder to color. I ran across this product on TikTok. I ordered it because the reviews were good. I followed the instructions….20 drops. After I applied it to my hair it began to turn extremely orange. I was tempted to wash it out. But I left it on and after about 20 minutes it looked like it normally would. I leave my hair color on 45 minutes. I am SO HAPPY with the results. The color is beautiful (as always) with a little more ash to it (which I like) I will never be without this stuff!!! The orange at the beginning is the product doing what it does then the hair dye does its job 🤷‍♀️? Idk it just works.
