5 Tips For Understanding Clairol Root Touch-Up Color Instructions: Blending Permanent Root Touch-Up Color

This is a sponsored post written by us on behalf of Clairol Nice ’n Easy for IZEA. All opinions are 100% ours.

One of the great things about coloring your own hair with at-home coloring systems is that some of those systems offer a root touch-up system. Whether you’re a blonde, brunette, or redhead, we all know that often times after a few weeks your gray hair starts peeking through. Instead of having to color your hair again, you should try to just touch-up the roots. Clairol has multiple products for this task, but some people need a few more Clairol root touch-up instructions besides what they read on the box.

Going to a salon is expensive and sometimes you just look at your reflection while sitting in the big fancy chair at the salon and wonder, is this the price of beauty

TIP #2: TAKE THE TIME TO FIND THE RIGHT SHADE

When determining the best touch-up shade to match your current color, you should do your homework. Clairol’s Nice ‘n Easy hair color has a matching shade on the side of their box. This matching panel shows you what hair colors the shade works with. It covers other at-home hair color brands and even works with salon color! Clairol’s Color Director, James Corbett, recommends Clairol’s Nice ‘n Easy Root Touch-up to his salon clientele and they find it easy to use, especially when traveling for a long period of time. Here are some steps to finding the perfect touch-up shade:

  1. Make sure to remember or write down the Clairol Nice ‘n Easy hair color number you previously used and match to a touch-up shade.
  2. The matching chart is on the side of the Nice ‘n Easy Root Touch-up box.
  3. Once you’ve matched the color to the best touch-up shade, you’re ready to go!

Whatever you do, do not rush through this part of the process. It is very important you pick the perfect root shade, especially if you are using the permanent root touch-up product.

TIP #3: PREP PROPERLY

Whenever you’re coloring your hair with an at-home coloring system, it’s important to do a bit of prep beforehand to ensure the coloring process goes smoothly. Check out some of the prep steps below:

  1. Detangle your hair with a detangling brush to ensure your hair is ready to be parted.
  2. Cover yourself with an old towel or cape across your shoulders and around your neck.
  3. Determine where your regrowth starts and stops.
  4. Use a tail comb to carefully divide your hair into sections. This allows you to work with clean sections, which in turn helps you to avoid patches or missed spots.

Prepping properly ensures that your Clairol Root Touch-Up instructions can be followed correctly while in the actual process of coloring your roots.

In fact, look how easy the Clairol Root Touch Up Instructions for the Concealing Powder is!

TIP #4: MIX THE NICE ‘N EASY ROOT TOUCH-UP COLOR PROPERLY

Disclaimer: If you selected the Root Touch-Up Temporary Color Refreshing Spray, Root Touch-Up Semi-Permanent Color Blending Gel, or Temporary Root Touch-Up Concealing Powder from Tip #1, you can skip #4!

Some may feel that mixing the root touch-up color is pretty simple, but it’s important to follow the Clairol Root Touch-Up instructions below to ensure the color is mixed well and that the two components are completely blended.

  1. Put on the expert colorist gloves that were provided with your Nice ‘n Easy Root Touch-up system.
  2. Place the mixing tray on a flat and stable surface to ensure that it won’t tip over when you mix the color.
  3. Unscrew the cap of the permanent hair color crème. (Note: Conduct a skin allergy test 24 hours before applying color to your hair to ensure that you are not going to have a reaction.)
  4. Empty contents into the mixing tray and empty the contents of the color activating lotion bottle into the mixing tray.
  5. Use the provided brush to thoroughly mix contents and make sure they are completely blended.

TIP #5: FOLLOW 5 STEPS BELOW FOR APPLYING COLOR

When coloring your hair, whether an all-over color or when touching up your roots, there are a few steps to follow to ensure your hair is colored to the best of your ability. It’s a slightly more complicated process when coloring your gray roots versus your entire head of hair. Here are some steps:

  1. Using the expert control brush, apply the color at the hairline of the sections into which you divided your hair.
  2. Apply the color around the face, part, and at the temples.
  3. Make sure that you saturate your visible roots with the color.
  4. Use a baby wipe or wet washcloth to remove excess color on your forehead or temple areas.
  5. Once you’ve touched up the exposed roots, let the color sit for 10 minutes by setting a timer. (Note: If you have stubborn grays, it may be best to leave the color in for 15 minutes.)

And here is a quick visual that may help clarify things!

FINISHING TOUCHES

Once the color has been applied and set for the appropriate time, the finishing touches are the easiest steps.

  1. Once the color has been in your hair for the recommended time, rinse out the color until the water runs clear.
  2. Style as usual and rock your hair that flows from roots to tips.
