The Clairol Root Touch-Up Permanent Hair Dye is designed to deliver reliable, natural-looking root coverage. When applied correctly, it effectively camouflages grey hairs and new growth, seamlessly blending with your existing 4G Dark Golden Brown hair color. The permanent formula ensures that the color will last until your hair grows out or you re-color, providing durable results.
Preparation: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed. Drape an old towel over your shoulders and wear the provided gloves. Keep a timer handy.
Mix: Combine the developer and color crème according to the instructions in the kit. Shake or stir well until a uniform mixture is achieved. > Info needed: Specific mixing instructions if they differ from standard.
Application: Using the applicator brush or nozzle, apply the mixture directly to the visible root area. Focus on the hairline, parting, and any other areas with new growth. Avoid applying to already colored hair as much as possible.
Timing: Allow the color to process for the time specified in the instructions, usually around 10-15 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended processing time to prevent over-coloring.
Rinse & Condition: Once the processing time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Follow with a color-safe conditioner (often included in the kit or use your own) to lock in color and add shine.
Strand Test: If you're unsure about the color match, perform a strand test on a hidden section of hair first.
Even Coverage: Use a comb to section your hair neatly for precise and even application.
Protect Skin: Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a thick moisturizer around your hairline and ears to prevent skin staining.
Before you begin, gather all necessary items: the Clairol Root Touch-Up kit, an old towel, a timer, and an old comb for sectioning. It's crucial to perform a patch test 48 hours before each application, even if you've used hair dye before. This checks for allergic reactions and is a non-negotiable safety step.
This root touch-up is compatible with previously colored hair in shades of dark golden brown. It is designed to blend with permanent, demi-permanent, and semi-permanent hair colors. Not recommended for use on hair that has been extensively bleached, highlighted, or treated with henna unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer. It is suitable for adult use, as indicated by the 'adult' age group attribute.
Storage: Store the dye kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Post-Application Care: Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your root color. Avoid excessive washing with hot water, which can strip color faster.
Reapplication: Reapply only when new root growth becomes noticeable, typically every 4-6 weeks, or as directed by the product instructions. Do not over-process by applying too frequently.
