Pro Hairstylists Share Their All-Time Favorite Drugstore Buys

Both Viola and Ferrara named L'Oreal Paris' Magic Root Cover Up as one of their favorite drugstore finds. They're not the only ones digging this product, either; it's been a cult-favorite since the pandemic halted salon visits.

"During COVID, when the salons were closed in New York, so many of my clients were asking me what to do when their gray roots started to grow in. I went to the drugstore to try out a bunch of products and I was really impressed by this one," says Viola. "It instantly covers any grays and it also dries super quickly. The formula doesn't smudge, isn't sticky at all, is lightweight, and lasts until your next shampoo."

Ferrara adds that the pinpoint nozzle makes for a more precise application, and that it's also a great product to conceal clip-in extensions.
