Color Wow Review: Root Cover Up, Brass Banned Mousse & Raise The Root Thicken + Lift Spray

Posted on by

First of all I want to point out that I don’t dye my hair. Luckily I have testers who do and you can still use Color Wow’s products on hair that is not dyed.

We have a review special of Color Wow. A hair brand that kept catching our eye. Their packaging is simplistic but sophisticated and they are the people who make the ingenious Root Cover Up which is basically eye-shadow for your hair which covers up your roots. Color Wow is the latest innovation from Gail Federici, co-founder of John Frieda’s hair care company.

We tried their Root Cover Up For Blonde & Brunette Hair and both testers absolutely loved it, it really works; saving money and time.

The Brass Banned Correct & Perfect Mousse For Blonde Hair & For Dark Hair stops your hair looking brassy, you cannot feel it in your hair after you use it and it really holds your style. It will fast become a favourite, it makes your colour ‘wow’.

Their Raise The Root Thicken + Lift Spray is another favourite as it has UV protection in it. Perfect for people who dye their hair as it stops the sun fading the colour but also great for people who don’t too as the hair and scalp is an often overlooked area when it comes to sun protection. The spray holds the style while being flexible, creating a lift all day. Another great product.

We highly recommend Color Wow. Available at feelunique.com and QVC

[Note, being British we spell ‘colour’ as ‘colour’, the American spelling is ‘color’. The brand is American and we have kept their spelling]

Alexis Jordan wants soapy perfume

Alexis Jordan wants her signature scent to smell like soap.

The ‘Good Girl’ hitmaker would love to have her own signature scent but rather than a delicate flowery scent like may other celebrities choose, she wants hers to smell “fresh” like soap.

Asked what she would name her own perfume, Alexis said: “I can’t tell you that because if I come up with a great name, someone might steal it! It would smell very fresh, like soap. I like the smell of soap.”

Because Alexis is constantly on the move for work, there are a few beauty essentials that she can’t live without.

She explained: “Because I have long curly hair, a big thing for me is after I wash it, I put in this stuff that I just found. I think it’s John Frieda. It’s like root something. I forgot, but if you go in the store and see something that says roots and its John Frieda, then that’s it and it’s amazing. I love John Frieda’s products.

“I also love Aveeno exfoliating scrub. Of course you have to pack your toothbrush and toothpaste and I love Crest, so that’s a big thing for me and floss of course and I always carry around Chap Stick or lip balm or something like that and I just like Chap Stick in general. I have to always have something on my lips.”
