The Clairol Root Touch Up Permanent Hair Dye - Extra Lift is specifically engineered for precision application to root areas, typically where regrowth is most noticeable. Its 'extra lift' component works to subtly lighten and brighten the root area as it deposits color, helping to prevent a dull or flat appearance often associated with regrowth. This makes it particularly effective for those with lighter hair shades or those who desire a more vibrant, refreshed look at their roots. The permanent formula ensures that once applied and processed, the color will remain until new growth appears, offering a reliable solution for maintaining your hair color between full coloring sessions. For optimal results, ensure your chosen shade closely matches your existing hair color for a natural, seamless transition.
Perform a Patch Test: 48 hours before each application, mix a tiny amount of colorant and developer. Apply to a small, clean area of skin behind your ear or on your inner elbow. Do not wash, cover, or disturb for 48 hours. If you experience any reaction (redness, itching, swelling), do not use the product.
Strand Test (Optional but Recommended): If unsure about the color result or optimal processing time, apply the mixture to a small, hidden section of hair first to gauge the outcome.
Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is dry and unwashed for 24-48 hours before application to allow natural oils to provide some scalp protection.
Mix: Follow the specific package instructions to mix the colorant and developer components thoroughly. Always wear the provided gloves during this step.
Apply: Using the applicator brush, carefully apply the mixture only to visible root areas. Avoid overlapping significantly with previously colored hair to prevent over-processing.
Process: Leave the product on for the time specified in the instruction leaflet (typically between 10-20 minutes). Do not exceed the recommended processing time.
Rinse: Once processing is complete, rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Follow with a conditioner suitable for color-treated hair.
This product is designed to blend seamlessly with your existing permanent hair color. For the most natural-looking results, select a shade that is as close as possible to your current hair color. It is generally compatible with most permanent hair color brands.
Post-Coloring: To maintain vibrancy and extend the life of your root touch-up, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. These products are formulated to be gentler on colored hair.
Avoid Extremes: Minimize excessive sun exposure and contact with chlorinated water, both of which can contribute to premature color fading.
Storage: Store any unused product components (if applicable) in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
