Looking for Answers about Soft Surroundings Joan Rivers Beauty Great Hair Day?

In my experience, the product does not run with sweating. In fact, it really only comes off with shampoo. I live in a hot, humid climate, so I always carry an extra with me just in case, but I have never had to use it.

It tolerates sweat very well in my experience.

Does not stay on. It's like putting eye shadow on your hair and scalp.

I walk every day at lunchtime and I do get sweaty but I haven't noticed had any problem.

I exercise daily and never had an issue. It stays on perfectly.

I wear this to the gym and going running every day.
No problem. Make sure to blend well.

I haven't noticed any problems with the color not staying where it is placed because of heat. Now, I can't say that my head has been particularlly sweaty since I have purchased this but I have confidence that it won't be an issue as the summer approaches.

This product is designed to stay put through daily life until it is washed out. It should stay put through activity and perspiration, but does not make any waterproof or water resistant guarantees.

I have never had a problem with profuse sweating, since I am not that active; but do occasionally perspire alot in warm classrooms. When I do perspire, it is especially around the temples. I am careful not to use it too close to my face to avoid telltale signs of the product on my skin. Once my middle school students noticed it on my face--they comment on everythng! I keep it about 1/8 inch from the face and use a waterproof mascara wand for the area not covered by the powder. That did get messy until I perfected it. Practice, Practice, Practice with all new products, don't give up. I use the powder about every other day. However, I do not comb my hair alot. It is thinning at the sides and crown. I run my fingers through it to shape it and use a wide toothed comb when necessary. Being African-American, I have very kinky hair. I love the product. I purchased it for hiding my bare scalp where my hair is thinning, but found it worked on covering gray between salon visits.

It stayed on even when I worked up a sweat. Be careful not to scratch your scalp because it will get on your finger nails.

I would try Blonde and Light Blonde. You may have to mix them.

The blonde looked dark to me, but I went ahead and ordered it. It's perfect. I, however, was naturally medium brunette but am now silvery with highlights.
I would go for the light blonde if I were you.

I'm fair and was blonde, now I'm letting my hair go natural and have a lot of silver highlights, I use the blonde and it's perfect. My scalp is very fair but I have the dark blonde undertones at my roots. If your roots are lighter you may prefer the light blonde.

I have light hair on top and my scalp is pink. The Light Blonde was too light so I ordered the Blonde and it looks much better on me.

I suggest light blond. I got the blond and it is pretty dark.

Light blonde. I'm a brunette and use the blonde color.

Start with the light blond color and if it isn't dark enough purchase the dark blonde. That's what I do, then I can mix them to be lighter or darker depending on where I am in my hair color cycle.

It sounds like the Light Blonde would be the best choice for you.

I would try both.

Until you wash it.

Joan Rivers Hair Powder

I wash my hair every 3 days and the color remains all 3 days and is completely gone after shampooing.

It washes out when you shampoo. It's a very fine powder and doesn't require much product to do it's job. It's crazy how it works. There is just color on your scalp that looks like you have hair there. I have to shampoo everyday however. Don't know how it would work if you could go a couple of days. I would guess it would stay on. Hope this helps.

Most of it stays in until I wash my hair. After a couple of days I might have to retouch just a little.

my color stays in until my next shampoo.

It's really on your scalp and it lasts till you wash your hair!

It lasts until you wash--leaves some shading on pillow--but has good staying power

The color lasts until you shampoo it out, does not rub off on your pillow or look unnatural.

The color should last until it is washed out but the product is not designed to last for several days.

did not cover my gray at the roots

Joan Rivers Hair Powder

I've just started using this to cover my gray roots between colorings. It works well on my sides and part areas and extends the time between coloring my hair. I would recommend it to you. I opted for the Brunette even though my hair has lots of red in it. I heard Joan say she uses the Brunette also even though she has bleached blonde hair.

No, this did not work for my gray coverage. The box says it's just for thinning hair. I'm returning mine.

I use for both, it covers the gray during the in-between color times and it also makes my hair look fuller.

This really helps cover my greys. Not in an artificial or harsh way, but in a way so that no one will notice your greys except you.
Perfect for when some greys start to come in, but not enough to go to the hairdresser.

I color my gray/white hair medium brown every 4 weeks and I'm using the brunette product to cover my white roots as they come in. It does this very well and looks natural.

yes it cover my grey. I use a make up sponge to apply instead of the brush..better coverage and natural.

It does cover grey--if you blend it in--I use for in-between hair coloring! If you have brunette hair watch you don't get to close to front of forehead--after a couple days before washing some 'powder' may get on your face when sleeping--but other than that has Good staying power--I do the sides by my ears--and wear bangs on forehead--so I'm good --love this product--even if you don't have thin areas it give your hair oomph!

Yes, it covers the gray and looks great....it may be a little darker but it still looks natural and give you some highlights.

Joan Rivers Hair Powder

I color my hair by mixing Dark Auburn and Medium Brown so I chose the Brunette choice for this product. Even though my hair has lots of Red, I didn't think the Red would look good at my roots. Even Joan Rivers, who has dyed Blonde hair, uses the Brunette (I heard her when she was selling this on QVC or her website). It works well when the roots are coming in.

My hair is colored blonde and I choose the blonde shade which worked very well. The next time I ordered I chose the light blonde which was even better - in fact perfect.
I suggest choosing the shade closest to your matural hair color. It will look like new growth.

I chose incorrectly the first time. I have light hair on top so I figured the Light Blonde would be perfect. No so--too light. I reordered the Blonde and it's the right choice for me.

By the color I put on my hair.

We would recommend choosing the shade closest to your hair color. When in doubt, go a little darker as the product is designed to create a shadow effect on the scalp.

Use the color that is on the ends of your hair-the color that you use to describe your hair. It will work.

I've used it for over a month and no hair loss or any problems. It is a very fine powder you can't even see it on your head. It just looks like you have hair where there isn't any. It's crazy but it works. My husband thinks it's fantastic. He will even put it on in places that I can't see. So you can now see how easy it is to use.

The Great Hair Day product washes out with the next shampoo but I wash my hair every morning, so I don't know about long periods between shampooing.

I've been using it for a year, I lost two rows of hair in front due to a medication I was taking.
Using this product, my hair is growing back, I just have something great to cover it with!

I tend to breakout easily (at least on my face) and I haven't had any problems yet.

So far, I have not noticed any problems. My scalp and hair look healthy

The product does not clog pores and washes out.

since the choices are only 4, I believe, just choose your predominant color. It looks dark in the photo, and I was afraid to try the brown, but it worked fine on my color treated brown hair with highlights.

That which appears to most match your hair. The brunette color is slightly darker than my hair but blends perfect.

There weren't many choices...the light looked way too light, so I went with blonde. I like my root area to be a bit darker than the rest of my hair, so it looked just the way I wanted. I too was concerned about getting the right color.

We would recommend purchasing the Joan Rivers Great Hair Day in one shade lighter than your hair color.

Soft Surroundings Beauty Team

Just choose the color that matches your (natural) hair color. I've tried several.

As a redhead I wanted a color as close to matching my own as I could get. The auburn/red is a very soft beige/red, more like warm brown than I would have preferred. Still like it and still use it on eyebrows as well as on part-lines and hairlines. Experiment--You'll love it!

it washes out when shampooing so I don't think it will hold up in a pool.

When I wet my hair downin the morning to restyle it, the color does come off on my towel so I would imagine that you might have a problem with it in a pool.

I have swam laps a couple of times, I did not have any trouble with it running off of my scalp.

I always wash my hair after swimming to get the chemicals out so I don't really know if it lasts after swimming. If I am in the rain though it lasts and does not run or anything.

It is not water proof. It comes out in the shower so I'm sure that would be in the same in the pool.

I don't know, havent' been swimming since I started using it- I really don't know how it could hold up under Chlorine or Salt Water.

I hair is red and I was not happy with this product

I am a readhead, and I had the same concern, but I have been using this product for about two weeks and am satisfied with the results. Certainly the color in the compact doesn't match my hair, but when it goes on the scalp, it doesn't seem to matter. When I'm done, it doesn't look any darker in that spot than anywhere else. It's more a matter of hiding the whiteness of the scalp showing through than matching the hair color.

This product seems to be darker than it's discription name. The red is more of a dark auburn or brunette rather than a true red head. Go with the dark blonde versus the red. I do love the product though. It conceals very well, but it is darker rather than lighter.

I color my mostly-white hair with henna. I would call my hair color somewhere between red and auburn. I just purchased the red version and am disappointed in it. It's grayish-brown, not the least bit red. I would not recommend it for red hair.

A redhead friend of mine bought it and loves it. She is very particular. I have the product myself in two different colors. Depends if I have highlights are not. Its the best solution ever.

Yes. I have not had any adverse problems using it. It washes out easily. It is easy to apply. It is worth every nickel because it helps extend the time between hair dying sessions.

I have not ever had any problems - used for several years. I do have sensitive skin.

I have been using this product for a long time and have never had any reactions from it. Joan Riversd Beauty great hair day.

I've experienced no reactions to the product...seems to be safe to me.

I love this product. Couldn't do without it. My hair is thinning as I get older and this really hides it. I have tried several colors and actually mix colors when needed. I have purchased this item four times and hope they always have it.
