- Small color tray is prone to spills
- Expensive
April 2009. 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 color is available in 16 shades, which users say blend in naturally with your base shade. Clairol even 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 complain that Clairol Root Touch-Up is pricey, costing the same as many full-coverage hair-color products. Experts say that you can use full-coverage products for touch-ups, as well. If you want all-over color, Clairol Nice 'n Easy Perfect 10 (*est. $14) comes highly recommended.
The best reviews for Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-Up come from users at MakeupAlley.com and TotalBeauty.com. Reviewers at Allure, About.com and Shape also praise the hair-color product.
