I use this to cover roots between colorings and thinning spots along my part. It is fabulous for these purposes! It gives great coverage, blends beautifully with my hair, and is easy to use. I spray it in short bursts over the areas I want to cover, and it goes on precisely without any mess. The color is very versatile; a friend with lighter brown hair also uses it, and it blends invisibly with her hair, too. .
