Clairol Root Touch Up Natural Instincts 5 Medium Brown Permanent Hair Colour

I got the color 7, which is Dark Blonde. I have highlights that have grown out and needed a salon trip right now. This came at a good time for my regrowth, so I was happy to try it out on my hair. My natural color is a very light brown to dark blonde with some red tint and blonde highlights. I don't have any gray yet. This kit has everything you need to do the job of coloring your roots: a tray, a brush, and the coloring cream and lotion. They also provide a help number for shade matching and help along the way in your coloring journey. I do wish the kit came with gloves and hair conditioner. I know it's just for roots, so it might not be necessary, but it would be a nice to have. I felt the shade was a nice match for my hair after a hair test.

This Natural Instincts color kit is free of ammonia and has no animal derived ingredients, but I would still highly recommend an allergy test to be sure you don't have a reaction to anything before using.

I received the Root Touch-Up by Natural Instincts product for free from Influenster and Clairol in exchange for my honest review. It was very convenient to use because it came with a nice angled brush and a disposable mixing bowl (and gloves of course). All I had to do was mix the color developer and apply. I received the color 5C and I normally use 4N so I was expecting the color to be slightly too light. I really like that the product contains NO ammonia, so it didn’t smell bad at all and is better for your hair. There was enough product to fully saturate my roots around my face and on the top of my head. I applied it and left it on for about 35 min even though the instructions said 20-25 because I was worried it would be too light and because my grays are ... MoreI received the Root Touch-Up by Natural Instincts product for free from Influenster and Clairol in exchange for my honest review.

There was enough product to fully saturate my roots around my face and on the top of my head. I applied it and left it on for about 35 min even though the instructions said 20-25 because I was worried it would be too light and because my grays are stubborn. It washed out easily and I didn’t notice a lot of hair loss like I sometimes do when I dye my hair with other products. The color actually turned out pretty well; it wasn’t too light and it looks natural. It covered most of my grays, but I can see some copper-colored hairs here and there, which isn’t noticeable and doesn’t look bad. I’d say the gray coverage isn’t exactly 100% but it’s close. It may have been even less if I had left it on for only 20-25 min as suggested by the box though. A slightly darker color may have worked better for me too. I usually buy a full container of dye and use 1/3rd of it each time I color my roots. This package, while very convenient and easy to use, is not cheaper than a box for full coverage. I’m going to keep the brush and re-use it but will probably continue to purchase the full sized product because it ends up being 1/3rd the price. I would recommend this product if it’s your first time dyeing your roots, or if you’re traveling as it is super convenient to use if you don’t already have a brush and mixing bowl. Plus you don’t have to measure out how much dye and developer to use each time (I eyeball it and it tends to work fine) and clean up is very easy.

I was able to try Clairol Root Touch-Up by Natural Instincts (color #7 dark blonde shades) at home this past weekend in exchange for my review. I was pleasantly surprised. I did not have alot if faith in store bought root touch up kits before. Everything I needed was packaged nicely in the box with simple instructions. It colored my roots very nicely in most places and was MUCH easier to use than I ever imagined. There were a few places, mostly between my temple and ears that did not hold the color as well (admittedly for me stubborn grays) but fir the most part matched perfectly. I love that this particular Clairol product is nit tested on animals. The price is not bad either, especially if you want to simply color roots instead of putting all of your hair thru the ... MoreI was able to try Clairol Root Touch-Up by Natural Instincts (color #7 dark blonde shades) at home this past weekend in exchange for my review.

I recently tried the 'Clairol Root Touch Up' that the lovely folks over at Influenster sent me to review. I initially was pleased when I unboxed everything and noticed that the color of this product did match my hair almost perfectly. That was definitely an important factor, obviously. The several items within the package itself were pretty simple to mix together as the directions explain. Also in the package/box came a small plastic bowl in which to mix the contents of the 2 small bottles included together. That was a nice feature in my opinion. Along with everything I just mentioned , there was also a nice brush to use for adding the color to the roots of the hair. I found this addition to be great as it was a nice and sturdy brush that really helped me to apply ... MoreI recently tried the 'Clairol Root Touch Up' that the lovely folks over at Influenster sent me to review.

Along with everything I just mentioned , there was also a nice brush to use for adding the color to the roots of the hair. I found this addition to be great as it was a nice and sturdy brush that really helped me to apply the color directly to my roots much better than if I had to use another tool or my fingers. I actually went ahead and saved that brush after getting it all cleaned up. It was made so nice, it certainly would be a nice thing to have on hand for future hair treatments etc. The one thing that did disappoint me about the package contents is that there was no after-care conditioner included like all hair dye products have included in the package along with the actual dye. I and not exactly sure why this was not included in this root touch- up product. I will say, this is my first time ever using a root touch-up product as I normally use a hair dye product for all over coverage, so there must be some type of reasoning behind not including the conditioner. Nonetheless, wasn't happy about the no conditioner issue. That all being said, I did only notice a difference in the color of my roots after properly using this. However, I'd likely have to adjust the timing if I ever planned to use this again because I kept it on my roots the desired length of time as per the instructions included within the box and it did appear to me to be a slightly different color than the rest of my hair. This is a common occurrence for me any time I go to the salon for root touch-ups and it is quite frustrating to say the least . All in all, I personally don't think I will purchase this product in the future for use on my own hair as I am simply not a big fan of root touch-up products in general. This does not exactly speak to the quality of this product necessarily. I just prefer to dye my entire head of hair as opposed to just the roots. However, I would probably still recommend this product specifically for someone who happened to be looking for a decent root touch-up dye for themselves as I honestly believe this is a pretty good product.

I have naturally curly/wavy hormonal hair. I took the plunge and bleached my hair silver last year. Yes, I did it by myself. I loved it, however it damaged my hair. I got a drastic cut. I decided to dye my hair my natural Auburn color. It was a disaster. My hair soaked up all the dye. 😳 Anyhow, after lifting the Kool Aid dye, I chose a medium brown shade and decided to let my hair gray naturally. I received my lovely product and decided to use it before going completely gray. It was ultra moisturizing and didn't burn my scalp like other products have in the past. I've always dyed all of my hair since I was in my late thirties. I enjoyed not having to color all of my hair. I can't say that I'm going to color my hair again as I'm trying to naturally go gray.

I definitely recommend this product though. It didn't dry my hair out nor did the product have an unpleasant smell. Influenster, thank you for sending me a full-sized product. Please excuse my extremely delayed product review. My husband was recently diagnosed with a terminal condition so my family and I have been spending more time together. I appreciate your patience. Thank you for the opportunity to try and to review this product.

I used this on a very small patch of my mom’s hair. Let me tell you she was not a willing participant it took a lot of convincing as she is comfortable with her gray and I currently have braids in my hair and recently had my hair dyed so I need to use my mom’s hair as she has never in her life dyed her hair, Ever! Well the change was so subtle that you really couldn’t tell that this application was ever used. She was impressed that it didn’t make her look like she was going through a mid life crisis and that it just tinted her hair. I on the other hand was looking for full coverage of the gray… so she was satisfied but not enough to do her entire hair…. She would t let me take a picture either cause she was a bit uncomfortable. I would say if you not looking for a ... MoreI used this on a very small patch of my mom’s hair.

I would say if you not looking for a complete cover up and you are comfortable with your gray then this stuff is for you. It’s 0% Ammonia which was a win for me. When I need a personal touch up I will try this on my own hair to see if it will covers younger people with new gray vs older people with I guess old gray hair. I was impressed that it came with a root comb, but o still hate the gloves they send with these packages… they dye always come through the gloves .. just send regular lates gloves like please!

So I wasn’t sure this was going to be a light enough shade to manage highlights with, but it did manage to add some lightly colored touches of highlights throughout when I used this! There’s no question that the root touchup process was easy either! It came with perfect sized little plastic dish that was of course all I needed to make this a great choice for touchups, I’ve purchased touchup stuff that never came with something to put this stuff in before so that’s awesome! As with most any root touchup this comes with an applicator brush and I suppose the rest is pretty simple after that! Luckily I received a shade that was a few tones lighter and was able to use this for the highlight idea I was hoping to get and managed to not just get my roots sorted out after ... MoreSo I wasn’t sure this was going to be a light enough shade to manage highlights with, but it did manage to add some lightly colored touches of highlights throughout when I used this!

Love this product it worked just as advertised and the color was pretty spot on!

This product is really amazing. When I first got it I noticed how small of a quantity was in the bottle and was a bit concerned as I have very long hair. The product comes with a cute “tub” to mix the two parts and a small brush to place the product with. The brush is actually the key to why this amount works. It prevents you from using too much in one area. The one bad thing about the brush was that it pulled out some of my hair bc it was really stiff. The product went on smooth and the instructions were very easy to follow: mix, apply, wait 20 min and rinse. There wasn’t any conditioner like with other boxed hair colors but the product itself seemed to be nourishing enough that it made my roots silky. I didn’t feel any itchiness or burning and the color matched ... MoreThis product is really amazing.

I would buy this product again!

so I recieved this root touch up in a voxbox from I fluenster which couldn't have arrived at a better time since my roots have grown out majorly in the last few weeks, so perfect time to test this stuff out. my hair is naturally a medium ashy blonde with light blonde and strawberry blonde highlights throughout and I originally died it dark brown to cover up my faded bright red hair instead of bleaching it again since it was pretty damaged. After 4 years of letting my hair heal and be healthy it's finally to the top of hip bone (was a chin length bob), while also dying my roots dark brown over the last few years, then gradually dying them a lighter shade each time, I got over my fear of causing damage to my hair I worked hard on growing out. I went and did my roots ... Moreso I recieved this root touch up in a voxbox from I fluenster which couldn't have arrived at a better time since my roots have grown out majorly in the last few weeks, so perfect time to test this stuff out. my hair is naturally a medium ashy blonde with light blonde and strawberry blonde highlights throughout and I originally died it dark brown to cover up my faded bright red hair instead of bleaching it again since it was pretty damaged.

I went and did my roots with a light brown shade (should have used a medium brown) with a this new brand of hair dye (I only use one brand that i know for certain wont kill my hair) and it was alot easier then how I normally apply it with the squirt bottle with the nosil and hope I don't miss a spot , luckily this one came with a brush which made it about 1,000 times easier. It didn't have that overwhelming harsh smell which made the process more plesent. I had no burning or itching while Iwaited the alloted time after rinsing it out and waiting for my hair to dry my roots aren't noticeably grown out anymore and pretty much covered, only complaint is us who have thick hair could use a little more product in the bottle to where it doesnt feel like you have to make it stretch and hope you have enough to cover all your roots. thankfully there was just barely enough to cover my whole root area but it was cutting it close. also I could have use a shade darker but that's totally my fault. i also didnt notice any dryness or icky feeling in my hair so thats a relief. all in all it's a pretty good product. I'll update if I see any fading or issues :)

Listen…when I first transitioned from my relaxer in 2012 the very last chemical treatment I used was this Clairol Textures Tones in the color Honey Blonde. CHEF’S. KISS. It was my first time ever using color and I was not disappointed. It lightened my “virgin” hair perfectly and with minimal effort from my stylist. I had been relaxed for about 10 years up to that point, so it was already chemically treated. It didn’t have a crazy smell and the instructions were easy to follow. The box comes with everything you need to achieve a flawless lift or touch up and I only used one box for my bra strap length hair. It shows you swatches of what level lift can be expected based on the color of your hair on the side of the box, which can be helpful for those of us DIYers and ... MoreListen…when I first transitioned from my relaxer in 2012 the very last chemical treatment I used was this Clairol Textures Tones in the color Honey Blonde.
