Clairol Root Touch-Up by Nice'n Easy Permanent Hair Dye, 6A Light Ash Brown Hair Color, Pack of 2

First, let me say that I think whether this product is for you depends on your hair color and whether you are trying to cover up grey hair vs. non-grey roots of another color. I use the Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-up to cover totally grey roots on dyed medium brown hair. For me, the Root Touch-Up actually works better than regular hair color.Like all hair color, this stuff changes (oxidizes) after a few shampoos. So, Dark Brown initially starts out VERY dark, but after 2 to 3 shampoos, it lightens up a bit. ALL permanent hair coloring does this, but I find that the Root Touch-Up lightens LESS over time than regular hair dye. In my case, I am covering up VERY grey roots in my center part and along my temples and it covers VERY well, blending nicely into the rest of my hair. I estimate that my hair is probably 60-70% grey, but because I color it all the time, I only see it at the roots. And no matter what hair color I use, I can see a teeny bit of grey within a week because hair GROWS. Other than parting one's hair differently, there isn't much you can do about that. Grey roots against dark hair are obviously far more noticeable than grey roots in blond hair. But in terms of actual grey coverage? The Root Touch-Up is PERFECT. Unlike other "dark brown" regular hair dye, my grey hair actually becomes dark brown with the Root Touch-Up. Every other hair color I've tried gives me some light or orange-y version of brown because the grey is not fully covered. Although the product contains only a small amount of product, the pigment is much more highly concentrated than regular hair coloring and a little goes a long way. I think that there's a safety advantage with this too: probably best to use the least amount of hair dye you can.Also -- and this is key for me -- the color of the Dark Brown itself is a true neutral brown. I detest red and brass overtones, which are present even in brown dyes advertised as "ash" or "neutral". THIS PRODUCT IS A TRUE NEUTRAL BROWN. As my hair grows (I wear it long, to my mid-back), the color of Root Touch-Up does lighten a bit BUT STAYS NEUTRAL BROWN. No red overtones. No brassy overtones. This is critical for me and what makes this product ideal for me. It's the ONLY hair coloring product I've ever use that gives me the brown shade I want.I find that my roots stay colored for about 3 weeks with Root Touch-Up; this is the same amount of time for me as with regular hair coloring. Again, if you have high-contrast roots (grey on black or dark brown), you are obviously going to see the regrowth in a more prominent way. Hair coloring comes with many tradeoffs but for me, the trueness of the color, the excellent grey coverage, as well as the ease of application make this a great product.

Covers gray very well

I really hate the weird metallic grey at my temples and around my face. Only need a small portion and didn't want to dye my whole head so I tried this Was more than enough and had enough to do behind my ears and part. I didn't do a fantastic job with coverage because I cannot wear my glasses while dying my hair. I am happy with the results and with those grey's gone, my hair looks & photographs it's proper color. Strange how with all those greys makes it look more reddish than dark brown. When applying, having never used a brush before, I was a bit heavy handed on my scalp & there was some stinging. That little brush is awesome for getting the dye on my roots!

I have been using this for years, it matches my golden brown dyed hair, I used to re-dye the whole head with dye which took as while. But know with this I only do my roots and stray grays. The brush comb doesn't work the best, so I use another comb in addition to this. Worth it and pretty cheap.

Great coverage and so easy to use

Blended in with my hair and worked well

Great for in between colors. Blends easily

I like the color; it matches my natural tone perfectly. It's ashy rather than reddish, but it doesn’t fully cover the grays, even if you leave it on for over 10 minutes (20-30 minutes). It tends to mask them instead. Additionally, the color doesn’t last long, and it fades quickly, leaving the grays back and noticeable.
