Great volume and ease of use
I love this product, unfortunately I’ve been unable to find it for some time in the dark brown shade. I didn’t have to color my hair at all, just used it und it gave such color and great volume. I sure wish Clairol would bring it back. None of the other products come close to this one in easy of use and end result. Please bring it back!

Great colour match
I have been using this product since Covid when hairdressers were closed. I use it for the touch up between salon visits. It's easy to use and the colour match is great. I have auburn hair with highlights I use 1/2 a tube of colour 6 and 1/2 colour 7

Product has been downgraded
I have used this product for many years (#8 medium blonde) and it worked great. When I colored my gray roots the color lasted a long time. But now when I do the touch up on my roots within a few days the product wears off and the hair I colored is gray again. Therefore I will no longer spend my money on this downgraded product.

Great but impossible to find!
I’ve been using the 5r shade for a few years now but it has become impossible to find anywhere. Has it been discontinued? What’s going on?

Out of stock indefinitely?
Has this product shade (Medium Auburn 5R) been discontinued in the UK? It has not been available at any stocking outlets for some months now. I am having to substitute with the dark auburn, giving my hair an ombré look between full colours. Not ideal! Any information would be much apreciated!

No longer available?
I have used this for ages with success so would've given more stars, but cannot find in stock anymore. Why are auburn girls discriminated against?

Perfect colour for me
I purchased this product a week ago, unsure how it would turn out. I have long blonde hair. My hairdresser isn't available due to illness. So only ever having the same hairdresser for 45 years I thought I would give it a go. Wow I am blown away by how well it's covered my roots. I have ordered a few more. I haven't tried doing the underneath as yet as I would need at least two packets. The price is fabulous too. I am very happy.

Dye for 4A looks blonde!
There’s no way this color comes out “Dark Ash Brown”. So annoyed I wasted money on this.

Hi there! Thank you for using our Root Touch Up line. We regret to hear that it did not give you the results you were expected after mixing our product. The Root Touch Up shade 4A Dark Ash Brown uses a color tint technology so it is normal to have the orange/yellow hue when mixing. The color of the mixture is not indictive of the final color result. We encourage you take time to perform the Strand Test prior to use as this will help you determine & get a preview of the color results prior to the real application. We hope this helps! If you would like any further assistance with this product line, we would be more than happy to help! You may reach us at 1-800-252-4765.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Pleasantly Surprised and So Happy
I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. I’ve never colored my own hair before — my highlights are usually done by a professional salon color specialist. But lately I’ve been looking for a more economical option, so I decided to try Clairol Root Touch-Up as a little experiment. I’m so excited to report that it was a great success! The product was easy to use, covered my greys beautifully, and blended seamlessly with my highlighted color. I honestly can’t believe how natural it looks — no harsh lines or mismatched tones. For anyone who’s nervous about trying an at-home touch-up, I highly recommend giving this a shot. It’s quick, affordable, and really delivers professional-looking results.

I love it
I have used this for the first time. I have always been a dyed blonde in my adult years. I recently come across your very light blonde Root Touch up. I love it and will be using it forever!! I can't believe how perfect my roots were. The only thing I found difficult was using it at the back of my short bob hairstyle, I did try but I wasn't very successful.any advised on how I can find an easy way to colour the back of my hair.

Not worth the money
I have been buying Root Touch Up Medium Blond #8 for years. However, the quality of the product has declined. I get my roots professionally touched up every 6 weeks and use the Clairol Touch Up half way through at 3 weeks. The product used to hold the color until my salon appointment but not anymore. Now it fades in less than a week with the blonde fading to gray. Sadly I will now have to find another brand to replace this product that I have counted on for years.

This product is not worded correctly
I just bought this think it would be good to color my gray Roots. Well I tried and it is not just for covering gray roots. When u are calling it a roottouch -up. It made my hair dry and hard to comb threw. So I think u should be call Root small touch-up spray. I would like a refund please.
