If you want to hide regrowth between salon visits without a long appointment, this Clairol kit offers an at-home solution made for quick root refreshes. The formula pairs a precision brush and mixing bowl with ColorBlend Technology to match and merge with your existing hair color. Each kit is designed for straightforward mixing and application so you can touch up roots, cover grays, and keep color consistent from root to tip.

How fast will I see results when I use this root touch-up?

Most users achieve full gray coverage in 10 minutes; stubborn grays may need up to 15 minutes. The permanent dye is formulated to develop quickly while delivering even, long-wearing color across the roots.

• Standard development time: 10 minutes
• For resistant gray: extend to 15 minutes
• Rinse and condition after timing for best finish

Will this shade match salon or pre-colored hair?

Clairol’s ColorBlend Technology is formulated to blend root regrowth with many salon shades and retail permanent colors. While exact matches depend on your current dye and base color, medium brown is a versatile mid-tone that integrates naturally with similar shades.

• Designed to blend with both salon and box-dyed hair
• Ideal for mid-tone brown bases and natural brown hair
• Use strand test to confirm the final match before full application

How easy is the kit to use at home?

The kit contains salon-inspired tools—mixing bowl and precision brush—so you can apply color accurately to roots. Instructions are straightforward: do a strand test, mix, apply to roots, time, rinse, and condition.

• Includes tube and developer bottle for simple mixing
• Precision brush helps target roots without mess
• Step-by-step directions included for beginners

How long will coverage last and what upkeep is required?

Root coverage typically lasts about three weeks depending on hair growth and washing frequency. Touch-ups are recommended when new regrowth becomes visible to maintain a seamless look.

• Up to approximately three weeks of blended roots
• Reapply as regrowth appears to avoid visible contrast
• Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to extend results

Who this is for: This two-pack of Clairol Root Touch-Up in 5 Medium Brown suits anyone who wants a reliable, quick at-home option to hide root regrowth or gray strands between color appointments. It’s well suited for people with mid-brown bases—whether natural or salon-colored—who prefer a fast, precision application using included salon-style tools. If you want an efficient, cost-effective way to maintain a polished, consistent hair color without immediate salon time, this kit is created for that purpose.
