FAQs

How often can I use Clairol Root Touch-Up?

It is generally recommended to wait 4-6 weeks between root touch-up applications, or as needed when new root growth becomes visibly noticeable. Frequent use beyond this recommendation may cause color buildup or uneven results.

Will this product effectively cover gray roots?

Yes, the Clairol Root Touch-Up Permanent Hair Colour Kit is specifically designed to provide seamless and complete coverage for gray roots, blending them with your existing hair color for a natural look.

Can I use this product if I have previously colored or highlighted hair?

This kit is intended for root touch-ups on previously colored hair. If you have highlights that extend to the roots, applying a single-shade root touch-up might affect the highlighted areas. If unsure, perform a strand test on an inconspicuous section.

What should I do if the color gets on my skin?

Immediately wipe off any color that gets on your skin with a damp cloth. For prevention, apply petroleum jelly or a thick moisturizer around your hairline, ears, and neck before you begin the coloring process.

Is a patch test truly necessary every time I use the product?

Yes, performing a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before *each and every* application is crucial. Sensitivities can develop over time, even if you've used the product or similar hair dyes before without issue. This is a critical safety step.

What if I have very long or thick roots to cover?

If you have exceptionally long roots (more than 1 inch) or very thick hair, you may find that one kit is not enough to ensure full and even saturation. In such cases, purchasing two kits might be necessary to achieve optimal coverage.

Troubleshooting

Color doesn't match existing hair.

Always perform a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair before full application to check the color result and processing time. If the applied color is off, consider a color correcting product or consult a professional.

Roots are still visible after application.

Ensure you applied the product thoroughly and evenly to all root areas. For stubborn gray hairs, you might need to leave the color on for the maximum recommended time specified in the instructions. Verify that the colour creme and activating lotion were mixed completely.

Experiencing itching, redness, or burning sensation.

This could indicate an allergic reaction. Immediately rinse the product out of your hair and off your skin thoroughly. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each use.

Stains on skin or surfaces.

To prevent skin stains, apply a barrier cream (e.g., petroleum jelly) around your hairline, ears, and neck before application. Immediately wipe any spills or drips on skin or surfaces with a damp cloth or a specialized hair color stain remover.

Product not mixing properly or seems too thick/thin.

Ensure both the colour creme and activating lotion are fully squeezed out of their containers into the mixing bowl. Stir vigorously with the provided brush until a completely uniform and smooth consistency is achieved. If it remains chunky, it may not apply or process correctly.

Pros and Cons

Includes all necessary tools for a complete application
Designed for seamless blending with existing hair color

Cons

A patch test is mandatory before each use to prevent allergic reactions
May require careful application for very stubborn gray hairs

Setup

Preparation: Put on old clothes or a protective cape. Cover surrounding surfaces to prevent staining. Apply a barrier cream like petroleum jelly around your hairline, ears, and neck to avoid skin staining.
Mixing: Empty the entire contents of the permanent colour creme tube into the provided mixing bowl. Add the entire contents of the colour activating lotion bottle to the bowl.
Combine: Stir the mixture thoroughly with the applicator brush until a uniform, creamy consistency is achieved. Use immediately.

Compatibility

Age Group: Suitable for adult use only.
Hair Type: Designed for individuals with brown hair seeking to cover root regrowth or grays. Specifically formulated for the 6G (Brown) shade. It is compatible with previously colored hair, but only for root application.
Not Recommended For: Eyelashes, eyebrows, or full-head coloring. Not for use on bleached, highlighted (if highlights extend to roots), or chemically straightened hair without consulting instructions or a professional.

Care

Storage: Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Patch Test: It is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before *every* application, even if you have used hair color products before. Allergies can develop suddenly.
Post-Coloring: After rinsing the color thoroughly from your hair, use a color-safe conditioner to lock in moisture and enhance shine. To maintain your color, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.
