FAQs
How often can I use this Clairol Root Touch-Up?
You can use this product as needed for root regrowth, typically every 3-5 weeks. Always remember to perform a patch test 48 hours before each application.
Is this product truly permanent?
Yes, Clairol Root Touch-Up is a permanent hair dye. The color will not wash out; it will only grow out with your hair.
Can I use this product on my entire head?
No, this product is designed specifically for root touch-ups and is not intended for full head application. Its 30ml volume and formulation are optimized for targeted root coverage.
What if my current hair color is not 'Extra Light Blonde'?
For the best and most natural results, select a shade that closely matches your existing hair color. This specific product is '10 Extra Light Blonde' and is formulated to blend with similar shades.
How do I prevent skin staining during application?
Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a barrier cream to your hairline and ears before application. Immediately wipe any drips or splatters with a damp cloth.
Do I need to shampoo my hair before using the root touch-up?
It's generally recommended to apply permanent hair dye to dry, unwashed hair (preferably 24-48 hours after your last shampoo) to allow natural oils to protect your scalp. Refer to the specific instructions in your kit for best guidance.
How long does the color last?
As a permanent hair dye, the color itself will not fade significantly or wash out. However, its longevity on your hair depends on your hair's growth rate. You'll typically need to reapply when new root growth becomes noticeable, usually every few weeks.
Troubleshooting
Color appears too light or too dark.
Ensure you selected the correct shade that matches your existing hair color. For future applications, consider performing a strand test on a hidden section of hair to preview the result. Different hair types can absorb color differently. This shade is '10 Extra Light Blonde'.
Skin irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
Immediately rinse the product off with water. Discontinue use. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each application, even if you've used hair dye before, as allergies can develop over time. Consult a medical professional if symptoms persist.
Stains on skin around hairline or ears.
Before applying, use a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around your hairline, ears, and neck. If stains occur, gently wipe with a damp cloth or a specialized hair color remover immediately after application, before the dye sets.
Roots are not fully covered after application.
Ensure you applied the product evenly and saturated the root area thoroughly. Check that you allowed the product to process for the full recommended time according to the instructions. Uneven application or insufficient processing time can lead to incomplete coverage.
