(3 pack) Clairol Root Touch-Up by Nice'n Easy Permanent Hair Dye, 4 Dark Brown, Hair Color, 1 Kit

I only use this product to dye my roots. I've tried other brands, but I have not been satisfied. This one is so easy to use and the results are really good. I don't have fully grey hair yet so I just need the root touchup for the few that I get in the front of my hair.. like I said I've tried other brands and they just seem too complicated. This one's so basic you put one and two in the bowl you mix it with a mixer or brush that's provided and then you just start slapping it on your hair, I use the gloves provided and I start rubbing it to make sure it gets all the grace covered and I keep it on for 15 minutes to 20 minutes.

I have used this Touch Up product for years because it does the job and is not as damaging to my hair as other products. It can be messy trying to get the two tubes of the color formula mixed well in the tiny dish included in the box stirring with a stiff brush. I always have some slosh out the edge of the mixing container, so keep mine in the sink while applying. One of the things I like about this color is the ability to use different shades offering a bit of highlighting or low lighting when I apply. This formula blends the colors so there isn't an obvious divisive line where the two are applied. The stubborn grays I have usually are taken care of with the exception of the auburn shades. For whatever reason, they have ended up a bit brassy/orange like, requiring touch up to cover them. Blending different shades of brown has given the best coverage for me. The golden with the medium has a very natural tone and looks nice. I use tiny rubber bands to section out my hair and then apply the two shades to the small sections. Since I have a lot of stubborn gray, I leave on 20-25 minutes for best results. I then remove the little rubber bands, massage the color at the roots and let it sit another minute or two before rinsing. I must add that the gloves that come in the kit are not inclusive for old arthritic swollen joints. The sections where the fingers join the hand are tight and frequently tear when rinsing so watch out for that, or use other gloves. My root touch up color usually lasts about 5 weeks so this is an economical option when compared to my daughter's $200 salon color treatments. Price varies and fluctuates on this from $7-13 so price shopping is a good idea. I like that I'm coloring mostly new growth and not my whole head. This has helped me avoid damage to my hair. I will mention here, that the newest version of this color is now offered premixed, in a tube with a brush on the end of the tube. It is much easier, offers repeat usage and much less messy. It isn't readily available in my preferred colors so I'm using both products now. This color has always left my hair with a healthy shiny look at the end. Please note there is a difference in the level of color on different products. The level helps you gauge how long the cover will last.
