The Clairol Root Touch-Up in 10 Extra Light Blonde is engineered for targeted application, delivering natural-looking, permanent color to your roots. It's especially effective for blending new growth and gray hairs seamlessly with your existing Extra Light Blonde shade.
Preparation: Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each application to check for allergic reactions. Wear old clothes and protect your work area with towels. Put on the gloves provided.
Mixing: Follow the instructions precisely to mix the colorant and developer in the provided tray. Ensure a uniform consistency.
Application: Use the applicator brush to apply the mixture directly to your dry roots, starting where grays are most visible. Work section by section, ensuring even coverage over the root area only. Avoid applying to previously colored hair as much as possible.
Processing Time: Leave the color on for the time specified in the instructions, typically around 10-15 minutes. Do not exceed the maximum recommended time.
Rinsing: Once the processing time is complete, thoroughly rinse your hair with warm water until the water runs clear. Condition your hair as usual (a conditioner may be included).
For a truly natural blend, focus on applying the product only to the root area. If you're concerned about blending, you can use a fine-tooth comb to gently comb through the treated roots during the last few minutes of processing to feather the color into the rest of your hair, but use caution to avoid over-applying to already colored hair.
Read Instructions: Thoroughly read the entire instruction leaflet enclosed in the package before you begin.
Patch Test: Perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before every application, even if you've used hair color before.
Strand Test (Recommended): For best color matching, perform a strand test on a hidden section of hair. This helps confirm the processing time and final color result for your specific hair type.
Gather Supplies: Ensure you have gloves, a timer, old towels, and a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) for your hairline and ears.
Shade Matching: This product, '10 Extra Light Blonde', is designed to blend seamlessly with existing Extra Light Blonde hair. It's crucial to select a shade that closely matches your current hair color for natural-looking results.
Purpose: This root touch-up is specifically formulated for covering root regrowth and grays. It is not intended for full head coloring or for significantly changing your hair color.
Hair Types: Suitable for various hair types, but individual results may vary based on hair porosity and previous treatments.
Post-Coloring: Rinse hair thoroughly after application until water runs clear. Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner if available.
Storage: Store the unused product components (if applicable) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Avoid Staining: Immediately wipe any accidental drips or splatters on skin or surfaces with a damp cloth to prevent staining.
