Excellent Product!
Date:February 12, 2010
I wish I would have discovered this product years ago--I get so many compliments--and my hair looks fuller--you don't see the top of my scalp when the gray starts showing--and its even better when I have my hair colored..It doesn't rub off on the pillowcase.
I am brunette--with some reddish highlights--and the coverage is superb! LOVE IT!!
My sister has dark brown hair-almost black--and she also LOVES the coverage! LOVE THIS!!

A Great Find
Date:December 13, 2009
I never write reviews but I am extremely pleased with this product. My hair is embarrassingly thin on the top and crown and for years I have been forced to wear the biggest comb-over in the world. Now, because of this product, I am wearing styles I thought were lost to me forever. My hair is 3 shades of blond so I tried the blond but it was so dark, I might just as well have been using black. I then tried light blond, even after reading the negative comments about it being so light it was like face powder. The color is perfect. Yes it is light but if you are patient and keep applying it, the color does eventually cover. Yes it takes time but this product stays on from washing to washing with no touch ups in between so I do not mind devoting a little time to apply it. This is the first time in over 15 years that I am not self-conscious about my hair and only hope the company never stops making it.

This product works well to cover my grey roots and is much easier to apply than sticks or other products I've tried for this purpose.

hair color touch up
Date:February 11, 2012
This product is great - easy to use and undetectable when worn. I've even used on brows. Stays put and blends well. Perfect for in between hair appointments when a color touch up is needed!

It'll help mask the "haircolor needed today" look.
Date:February 7, 2012
It gets too costly and hard on your hair to color as often as I think I need to, so I was looking for a product to extend the time between colorings, as well as conceal my thinning hair. This product does help to mask thinning hair by coloring the skin on your scalp. As it tells you in the directions, you have to avoid using it too close to the hairline on your forehead. It did camouflage the gray somewhat. I will probably use it now and then, not on a regular basis.

Great product
Date:February 6, 2012
Colors without being obvious. Blends well and stays all day. The colors are a bit dark so you might want to go a shade lighter than you think. The brush handle is nice and long so you can reach the back.

Good idea....but...
Date:February 6, 2012
This is a great idea and I was very excited about it but the color is off a lot. I have light brown hair and I ordered the blond color. It is almost back and shows dark brown black on my scalp. I then ordered the light blond thinking I needed a lighter shade. That product is so light that I barely see after I apply. I wish there were actually blond and light brown shades.

good stuff
Date:February 5, 2012
This is a great product for thinning hair! It doesn't seem to rub off at all. I would of given it 5 stars if the color matched mine perfectly. I have light to dark blonde hair that has a lot of gray growing in. People comment on my pretty hair color. I do not color it. It is natural. With the gray growing in, my roots looks lighter. I agree with a previous comment about the light brown makes it look too tan. But it still is better and after awhile seems to blend in better. Is there anything I would change if I could? Yes. Joan, please make another color in neutral.

This product works as advertised. Fills in the thinning areas around my hairline. I feel this makes me appear younger!

Compact hard to open
Date:January 30, 2012
I'm glad that you asked. It was very hard to open the compact. There were no instructions. I finally opened it. The second time - I broke the thing apart after trying a long time again.
My sister- in-law said the exact same thing happened to her.
We both do like the product.

A great find!
Date:January 22, 2012
I love this product! I have been very embarrassed by my thinning hair for this past year -- when I catch a glimpse of the back of my head in the mirror, I am appalled to see patches of scalp showing through that I was unaware of. The problem has forced me into wearing hats more and more, although I am not really a hat person. Anyway, now that I've found Great Hair Day, I can disguise these bare patches just enough so that they are not obvious. When you first brush it on, you are going to think that it hasn't done the job, but comb your hair a bit and look again. You will be happy!

What a Pleasure to Use
Date:January 18, 2012
This product has made my life so much nicer. At first I ordered the Brunette (my hair is light brown), it was too dark. I now ordered it in Lt blonde-blonde, and it is much better, you have to go lighter.
It really does make a difference in covering my thinning hair and for that I am grateful.

Natural looking
Date:January 2, 2012
It is a product that blends well, lasts a long time, and looks natural. I like the ease of use especially. The only thing that I don't like is the way you open and close the compact. This was the second one I have used and both have been difficult.

Awesome
Date:December 29, 2011
This is a wonderful product for covering bare spots on your scalp from thinning hair. The only problem is that it takes a while to apply. Since the brush is so tiny you'll find that you have to go back and forth from the powder to your scalp over and over and over. Before long your arm will begin to wear out but once it's on, it looks fabulous. I love how natural it looks and blends in with your real hair.

Love this product. My hair is very fine and thin on top. I use the light blonde and medium blonde colors because my hair has highlights and lowlights.
