“But the truth is I was super embarrassed about my thinning hair.”

There were many factors at work in Amanda’s life.

“So if you’re like me and have had a bunch of children and your hormones are crazy, you have stress spots.”

For Amanda, those stress spots were along her hairline, and these were a source of distress for her.

She found a remedy and held it up in her video: It was Color Wow Root Cover Up available from Amazon for $34.50.

“You need this, root touch-up. It’s just a little palette. I’m filling in all the spots on the thinner side where you can see my scalp,” she said as she got to work with the brush and powder.

“Just do a little root touch-up makeup,” she explained. It stayed in place too. You’re just going in and darkening those lighter spots.

“This does not come out until you shampoo so it stays, which is nice.”

She was delighted by the effect this product had: “You will look like you have a full head of hair.

“Isn’t that amazing? I love this thing. I can’t leave the house without doing this.”

Commenters said the product wasn’t just for young people.

“I use this to color my grey roots,” said one viewer. “After I apply, I set it with hairspray and it lasts five to seven days, before shampooing.”
