Clairol Root Touch-Up Color Blending Gel, 5 Medium Brown, 1.5 Fl Oz, Pack of 2

Have to try it and leave for at least 30 mins hoping to get better coverage. The applicator brush is great and the tube can be used twice, coverage wise is not great but will give it another try and revise again, possibly with black color as I got the dark brown and is not enough for black hair

Tried it twice on clean and damp hair. First time kept it for 10-15 min, second time for longer circa 20-25 min to see if it would work. Waste of money.

Doesn't cover grey

Even after applying for 20 minutes when wash with normal water all the color wash off

No me gustó nada…. Tienes que hacer todo el circo del tinte.. y no coloreó mis canas casi nada….totalmente decepcionada del producto.

I love the applicator and the fact that you can use it more than once and it comes already mixed. However, it doesn’t cover the roots, the gray! My hair color is medium brown and I bought a dark brown thinking it would work. Left it on for 20 minutes, didn’t shampoo or conditioned my hair as per instructions, just rinsed it, and still didn’t cover.

This was my go to for quick easy touch up. Last time was a disaster.... Rear end of the tube broke open sending color across the room. Ruined a.fabric shower curtain and a mess to clean up.

After almost giving up on Root Touch up semi-permanent coloring…I decided to experiment. With my dark brown hair and gray roots…Dark Brown touch up barely made a difference. Until I did this: In a small container I squeezed 2/3 part Dark Brown with 1/3 Black. *1. Washed my hair and towel drying to damp…I then swished the mix and applied it with a tiny 1 inch wide utility paint brush. *2. Then placed a clear plastic shower cap over my hair…(just like back in the day when the dye kits came with a plastic to cover during processing.) I think this is the key to allowing heat to help the coloring process. *3. I bravely, left it on for 30 minutes. *4. Rinsed with cool to cold water until water clear. *5. Towel dried. Was surprised and pleased to see my roots were colored….and looked dark brown and not black. I would suggest if apprehensive about adding the black as I did…to first try it on a small section of hidden gray roots first. I had planned on doing that but thought ….just go for it. And by adding only 1/3 black to the 2/3 Dark Brown worked out great.

I normally do not write reviews but I am on this one because I am aware of all the negative reviews and do not want the product to be discontinued. I have been using this product for about 2 years, every month to a month and a half between my salon gray covering. I am Asian with very dark hair, and even with "dark brown" the result has been somewhat mediocre. The last couple of times I noticed that it hardly covered anything. Then I found out that this product can be used on the wet hair by reading the Q&A, and also read on the internet that the tip for the home hair coloring is the heat. So, I suspected that the reason it didn’t work very well is due to this extreme cold weather, and tried following: - Got in the shower and shampooed the hair to wash out all the hair product - Towel-dried the hair and applied the product on damp hair - Briefly blasted the applied area with hot air with a hair dryer (not completely dry, just to apply a little bit of heat) - Put the shower cap on to retain the warmth and left it for about an hour (probably too long but I wanted to make sure) - Rinse with cold-to-lukewarm water, apply conditioner, and repeat the rinse And Voila! It worked, covering the gray probably the best ever in my previous touch-ups. This time, all the gray was colored, enough to blend in with the rest just right. No more eye-sore white sticking out! I feel that the key is the heat so I will play around with other parameters little more (no pre-shampoo, shorter leaving time, etc) next time.
