Reviewers say that Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-Up can extend the life of your color-treated hair by two to three weeks. This permanent hair dye is available in 20 shades, which users say blend in naturally with your base shade. Clairol provides an online tool to match Root Touch-Up shades to those of leading hair-color brands. The comb applicator is easy to use, according to consumers, but they point out that the included color tray is a bit too small and is prone to spills. Some users also say Clairol Root Touch-Up is pricey, costing the same as many full-coverage hair-color products. Experts say you can use full-coverage products for touch-ups, as well. If you want all-over color, Clairol Nice 'n Easy Perfect 10 (*Est. $13) comes highly recommended.
The most thorough review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-Up comes from ConsumerReports.org, where it is tested for gray coverage and compared to 12 other hair color kits. User reviews at MakeupAlley.com and TotalBeauty.com also provide valuable insight into consumer satisfaction and ease of use. Reviewers at About.com and Allure and InStyle magazines also praise the hair-color product.
