Clairol Root Touch Up Permanent Hair Dye — 8.5A Medium Champagne Blonde, 2‑Pack, 10‑Minute 100% Gray Coverage

If you want a quick, salon-quality fix for visible regrowth between color appointments, this Clairol kit is designed to refresh your roots at home. The formula is pre-measured for an easy mix-and-apply process and includes salon-style tools to make application neat and precise. It’s targeted at those who already color their hair and need a fast way to maintain a seamless, natural-looking finish without a salon visit.

How fast will I see coverage and how long does it last?

You’ll get full gray coverage in about 10 minutes for most users, with a longer 15-minute development time recommended for stubborn or coarse gray. Results are touch-proof and sweat-proof, and color typically lasts up to three weeks before noticeable regrowth requires another touch-up.

• 100% gray coverage in 10 minutes for standard grays
• 15 minutes for more resistant gray strands
• Color longevity: up to approximately 3 weeks

Will this shade match salon color and blend with my existing shade?

Clairol’s ColorBlend Technology is formulated to match leading retail shades and preformulated salon colors, helping the root color meld seamlessly with previously dyed hair. The medium champagne blonde (8.5A) provides a cool, neutral-blonde result that integrates with similar blonde tones.

• Designed to blend with salon-colored hair
• Neutral-cool blonde tone for natural-looking transitions
• Use strand tests to confirm match before full application

How easy is it to apply at home and what tools are included?

The kit contains salon-inspired application tools — a mixing bowl and a tapered brush — so you can apply precisely to the root area without daily mess. The steps are straightforward: do a 48-hour allergy strand test, mix the two components, brush onto roots, wait the recommended time, then rinse and condition.

• Step-by-step mix, brush, dry routine
• Included brush and bowl for targeted application
• Instructions recommend a 48-hour patch test for safety

Are there any precautions or tips to get the best result?

Always perform the strand/allergy test 48 hours before coloring. Apply only to healthy hair and avoid skin contact beyond the roots. For even color, section hair and work methodically, and follow the timing guidance for your specific gray level.

• Patch test 48 hours before full application
• Section hair and apply to dry roots for consistency
• Rinse and condition after processing to lock in results

Who this is for: This two-pack of Clairol Root Touch Up in 8.5A Medium Champagne Blonde is aimed at people who regularly color their hair and want an efficient, professional-feeling root fix at home. It suits anyone with blonde base tones seeking a neutral-cool blonde match and who prefers a quick ten-minute application to postpone or reduce salon visits. If you have unusual hair sensitivities, very dark natural hair, or complex multi-tone color systems, consider consulting a stylist to confirm suitability before use.
