Clairol Root Touch-Up Semi-Permanent Hair Color Blending Gel, 8 Blonde, Pack of 1

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 rinseAnd 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.

What a bummer! I was so excited about this root touch-up, especially because the application was so easy (no mixing!). Sadly, it was a complete fail for covering my greys. I even left the product on for extra time, definitely more than 30 minutes, hoping for the best. After washing and blow drying my hair, it looked exactly as it did before I even started. Such a let down considering the user friendly application. I was really hoping this was my new go-to root touch up.

I absolutely love this product. I have not used permanent dye in 4 months since using this. I just cover my roots as they grow. It actually last for 5 to 6 weeks for me until my next touch up. I wash my hair every 3rd day. Maybe for someone who washes their hair everyday may not last as long. I find it works best after I wash my hair. I towel dry and while my hair is still damp and put the root cover on for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse it out. It actually did not work as well when I applied to dry hair. It's a game changer. My hair is actually healthier and growing by not constantly dying it with permanent dye. Do not get rid of this product. It works for me.

I found this product when I was away from my home and needed to do a root touchup. I have blonde hair and had a regrowth with some white hair showing so I looked around and I found this Clairol product . I ordered it from Amazon they delivered it and I have used it a couple times since finding it . I like the way it’s easy to apply. it doesn’t really make a mess on anything you just have to be careful when you’re doing it to try not to get it on any surfaces. It is not a permanent hair color it washes out every time you wash your hair. you wait 4 days, and then it gradually washes out and then you need to reapply it . I like it because there’s no peroxide and no ammonia in it I have hair below my shoulders and I didn’t want to try anything permanent because it’s much stronger so I’m happy with this product and will probably keep using it as long as I can find it and it is available on the Amazon website.

I gave this product three stars for ease of use and color match. It DOES NOT COVER GRAY whatsoever! I tried it with damp hair (per the instructions), dry hair, and even let the color process longer than the stated instructions. The color is beautiful, but washes out after one time.

I use this regularly on the graying hairs around my face - particularly in my “sideburn” area! It is magic. I absolutely love that this product is premixed and ready to go. I leave it on my shower and apply about once a week or whenever I notice the gray roots coming in. I shampoo, towel dry, apply the product to the desired area and condition the rest. Wait 5 min and rinse. It’s a perfect solution. I am on my second year of it and I am so happy with the product.
