Barrymore revealed her latest go-to pick in a new interview with The Cut, where, her hair looked incredible, despite having just come from a workout and not having “washed her hair in six days.” The “secret” to her great-looking hair? According to the star: a combination of dry shampoo and L’Oréal Magic Root Cover-Up Concealer Spray spray.

As it turns out, Barrymore is a longtime fan of the hair product—in fact, she previously mentioned it on The Drew Barrymore Show back in 2021 as a quick-fix while she wasn’t able to visit a hair salon during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Basically, this has changed my life,” she shared. “It literally takes my strip of gray and completely transforms it perfectly into my color.”

She then explained that she specifically liked it for being “actually true to people’s hair color.” She said, “It has highlights, lowlights—it’s very translucent, so it just goes right on the hair. And it’s true to the greens and warm tones we actually have in natural hair.” She then thanked the brand, saying, “You always get it right.”

Of course, it’s easy to see why Barrymore loves this particular L’Oréal pick. The popular spray promises to “conceal grays in seconds” for quick, mess-free coverage of your gray roots—making it the perfect temporary solution for when you’re in between color sessions at the salon. Made with a lightweight, non-sticky formula that sprays onto hair smoothly, it’s designed to dry quickly on your strands without leaving smudges or a sticky residue—and also last all day until your next shampoo. Not to mention: It’s super affordable too, coming in at only $10.

And if you need even more convincing? Just take a look at its rave reviews online, where it’s racked up over 36,000 five-star ratings on Amazon—and earned the title of “life saver” by plenty of reviewers. “Love this stuff! Where has it been my whole life?” raves one shopper. “I have been coloring my roots like a mad woman having no idea that this stuff existed, what a life saver...Now, I go to the salon less frequently and use this to cover my gray in-between.”

Reviewers also love that its coverage truly looks natural on your hair. “It dries fast and you cannot tell that you just sprayed that gray away, your hair looks as if you just came from the salon,” writes another Amazon customer. “There is no sticky residue and no smell left behind. Best of all, the spray stay in your hair until you shampoo it out.”

With a glowing stamp of approval from Barrymore and thousands of Amazon shoppers, it’s safe to say that it’s an absolute must-have when it comes to touching up grays—which is why you’ll want to stock up on it, stat.
