FAQs

How long does Clairol Root Touch-Up last?

The permanent color lasts for up to 3 weeks, effectively covering roots and greys during this period.

Can I use this if my hair is salon-colored?

Yes, Clairol Root Touch-Up is specifically formulated to blend flawlessly with all leading permanent and semi-permanent shades, including professional salon colors.

How long should I leave the product on my hair?

You should leave the product on for precisely 10 minutes to achieve optimal grey coverage and color blending. Do not exceed this time.

Will this cover 100% of my grey hair?

Yes, this product is designed to provide 100% grey coverage, even on resistant grey hairs, for natural-looking results.

Is a brush included for application?

Yes, a salon-inspired angled brush is included in the kit for quick, easy, and precise application, ensuring no mess.

What if I get the dye on other parts of my hair, not just the roots?

While designed for roots, if some product gets on previously colored hair, it's generally fine if quickly rinsed. However, for best results and to avoid potential over-coloring or unevenness, try to apply only to the regrowth area using the precision brush.

Troubleshooting

Color doesn't match my hair perfectly.

Ensure you've selected the correct shade by comparing it closely to your current hair color. If unsure, choose a shade lighter as it's easier to darken than lighten. Future applications might require a different shade choice.

Grey hairs are not fully covered.

Ensure the product was applied thoroughly to all grey areas. For stubborn greys, make sure the product is saturated well. Also, ensure the mixture was left on for the full 10 minutes. Avoid rinsing too early.

Scalp irritation or allergic reaction.

Discontinue use immediately and rinse thoroughly. 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 irritation persists.

Messy application or product dripping.

The angled brush is designed for precision. Use smaller sections and apply carefully. Avoid overloading the brush. If drips occur, wipe them immediately with a damp cloth.
