Clairol Root Touch-Up by Nice'n Easy Permanent Hair Dye, 5G Medium Golden Brown Hair Color, Pack of 1

After trying multiple root touch-up kits, this Clairol one stands out for its ease of use and natural results. The applicator brush makes it simple to target only the regrowth without overlapping too much on previously colored hair. The dark brown shade blends well, matching most brunette tones without looking harsh or flat. Color develops in just 10 minutes, making it perfect for quick maintenance between salon visits.One small drawback is that the scent, while not overpowering, is noticeable during application—though it fades quickly. The color does last until your next shampoo cycle, and the pack of two makes it a great value. For anyone wanting to stretch the time between full dye jobs while keeping roots discreet, this kit delivers reliable, low-effort results.

I’ve used the Clairol Root Touch-Up (Shade 6 Light Brown) several times and it always delivers. It blends perfectly with my natural hair color and covers grays completely. The application is easy and only takes about 10 minutes.

I was honestly shocked at how perfect the color was.. it blended seamlessly and completely covered my grays. Just a heads up: it worked great for touch-ups, but if you need full root coverage, you may need more product than what’s provided.

I like Clairol Root Touch up in that the little kit with the dish and the brush makes it fast and easy to touch up those pesky roots in between trips to the salon or whole head colors. Clairol is the only brand that will truly completely cover my very resistant grays-my hair is coarse and doesn't take color all that well. Because my hair is very, very thick I really should use two kits and a time. The negative for me is the cost. Whether here or in the store the cost of the touch up kit is basically the same as the cost of the complete color kit. So buying two touch up kits is actually more than one full color kit, even though there is only about 1/4 the amount of hair dye in it. That's a lot to be paying to get a teeny plastic brush applicator and mixing cup. If I buy the whole no little brush applicator and a TON of leftover unused color. So, to deal with my roots I have to choose between buying the full kit (and just use an old brush) and throw half of it away or buy one touch up kit and not really get all my roots covered.

Works and is easy to use. I have been using herbish as it is cheaper in the long run and does not have the chemical feel that this does.

First, let me say that I think whether this product is for you depends on your hair color and whether you are trying to cover up grey hair vs. non-grey roots of another color. I use the Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-up to cover totally grey roots on dyed medium brown hair. For me, the Root Touch-Up actually works better than regular hair color.Like all hair color, this stuff changes (oxidizes) after a few shampoos. So, Dark Brown initially starts out VERY dark, but after 2 to 3 shampoos, it lightens up a bit. ALL permanent hair coloring does this, but I find that the Root Touch-Up lightens LESS over time than regular hair dye. In my case, I am covering up VERY grey roots in my center part and along my temples and it covers VERY well, blending nicely into the rest of my hair. I estimate that my hair is probably 60-70% grey, but because I color it all the time, I only see it at the roots. And no matter what hair color I use, I can see a teeny bit of grey within a week because hair GROWS. Other than parting one's hair differently, there isn't much you can do about that. Grey roots against dark hair are obviously far more noticeable than grey roots in blond hair. But in terms of actual grey coverage? The Root Touch-Up is PERFECT. Unlike other "dark brown" regular hair dye, my grey hair actually becomes dark brown with the Root Touch-Up. Every other hair color I've tried gives me some light or orange-y version of brown because the grey is not fully covered. Although the product contains only a small amount of product, the pigment is much more highly concentrated than regular hair coloring and a little goes a long way. I think that there's a safety advantage with this too: probably best to use the least amount of hair dye you can.Also -- and this is key for me -- the color of the Dark Brown itself is a true neutral brown. I detest red and brass overtones, which are present even in brown dyes advertised as "ash" or "neutral". THIS PRODUCT IS A TRUE NEUTRAL BROWN. As my hair grows (I wear it long, to my mid-back), the color of Root Touch-Up does lighten a bit BUT STAYS NEUTRAL BROWN. No red overtones. No brassy overtones. This is critical for me and what makes this product ideal for me. It's the ONLY hair coloring product I've ever use that gives me the brown shade I want.I find that my roots stay colored for about 3 weeks with Root Touch-Up; this is the same amount of time for me as with regular hair coloring. Again, if you have high-contrast roots (grey on black or dark brown), you are obviously going to see the regrowth in a more prominent way. Hair coloring comes with many tradeoffs but for me, the trueness of the color, the excellent grey coverage, as well as the ease of application make this a great product.

I use the root touch up all the time and it covers great and last at least 3 months. I'm broke so decided to color all of my hair and chose Excellence because said it was the best for covering Grey. Started seeing Grey after 5 days! Maybe I did it wrong but I've done this before so use the root touch up 1st and I usually have enough leftover & use it for the rest. I have a Bob so not long. Sorry I'm so long winded but the root touch up is the best.

I like the color; it matches my natural tone perfectly. It's ashy rather than reddish, but it doesn’t fully cover the grays, even if you leave it on for over 10 minutes (20-30 minutes). It tends to mask them instead. Additionally, the color doesn’t last long, and it fades quickly, leaving the grays back and noticeable.
