Wish there was a magic wand for quickly covering up your grays? L’Oreal’s Colorsonic might be as close as it gets, and today, it’s a little more affordable thanks to the skincare company’s latest promo. For a limited time, you pick it up directly from L’Oreal Paris for $99 ($25 off), which matches its lowest price to date.

Our reviewer, Victoria Song, was shocked by how easy the Colorsonic was to use. The whole process takes about 15 minutes — just insert the cartridge, click the button, and brush — though you might need to repeat the process several times if you find your gray hairs to be particularly stubborn. Even then, it’s not likely that all your grays will disappear. It’s still a good option for dyeing your entire head or simple root touchups, though, especially since we found it to be nowhere near as messy a process as using over-the-counter box dyes.

Unsurprisingly, L’Oreal currently only offers a fairly natural shade range, and you’ll have to buy the cartridges separately for about $20 apiece. That can add up quickly depending on how many you use per session, making the high-tech wand a relatively pricey endeavor. That being said, it’s still probably a cheaper — and quicker — alternative to visiting your local salon. That’s got to count for something, right?

L’Oreal’s Colorsonic Hair Color Device is a unique high-tech hair wand that significantly cuts down the amount of time it takes to dye your hair. It doesn’t cover all of your grays, but it does a good job of quickly hiding most of them.

A few more deals worth checking out

  • Best Buy is offering a rare deal on Apple’s black HomePod Mini, dropping it to just $79.99 ($20 off).

  • Now through February 15th, Target is offering Circle members a 50 percent discount on a wide range of board games, movies, and books when they buy a second item of equal or greater value. Highlights include excellent tabletop games like Wingspan and Azul, as well as shows and films like The Last Of Us, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Lord of the Rings: Motion Picture Trilogy, and more.
  • If you could use a (relatively) cheap gaming headset for PlayStation or PC, Sony’s InZone H3 is on sale at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy for an all-time low of $48 ($42 off). The wired headset doesn’t have noise cancellation or some of the more advanced features found in the rest of the InZone lineup, but it does feature a handy flip-to-mute mic, decent sound quality for the price, and earcups that allow you to comfortably game for up to 32 hours.
