Clairol Nice 'n' Easy Root Touch Up

Now that I'm in my late 30s and my hair grows so blooming quickly my ever increasing grey hair is showing through at a frightening rate of approx 3-4 weeks. I have been colouring my hair at home now for almost a year, saving a whopping £40+ per colour at the hairdressers once a month. Given that it’s actually only the roots that really need doing so frequently so I thought I would Clairol ‘Nice ‘n Easy’ Root Touch Up a go. Clairol produce 12 colouring blending shades for root touch-up and it can be quite baffling when faced with them all but the box does have a Colour Result Guide on the side of it to show what result to expect depending upon ...  Read the complete review

I am absolutely in love with this product. I used to go to salons to get my hair colored. I am naturally dark brown but since I turned 25 I've had an increasing amount of gray showing up around my temples and forehead. About a year ago I stopped going to salons and started dying at home (salons were getting too pricey). I would just dye my whole head because no matter how many shades I tried nothing matched my hair color close enough to just use on my grays. I tried this product after reading about it in magazines and I just love it! Not only does it blend with most dyes, but it also blends with your natural color. It is a bit messy, but if you've been dying your whole ...  Read the complete review

I'm not quite forty, but for a good few years now, I've struggled with grey hair, particularly around my temples and parting, and need to colour it on a regular basis - I estimate that my hair is 40% grey now. There was a time when I was better off and could afford to have it coloured at the hairdresser's, but those days are now gone and I rely on home hair dye kits. Clairol Nice 'n Easy is my preference, although I have experimented with one or two others on the market. My hair is long, past shoulder length, and takes quite a lot of colouring. I am also concerned with the beating it must give my hair - it usually looks nicely conditioned after colouring, but ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes I wish I had never started to colour my hair. When I was a child my hair was a real white-blonde, but as I went into my late teens and early twenties it gradually got darker, to a dull mousey brown. Since then I've used all kinds of colours on it, which unfortunately do take their toll on my hair's condition. Most recently I've been using L'Oreal Excellence around every 5 weeks. It's such a chore, messy and time consuming, though obviously much cheaper than going for highlights or other treatments at the hairdresser's. A week ago my hair was due to be coloured again as my roots were beginning to show. The roots are mostly that mousey brown, but now also ...  Read the complete review

I have tried this a couple of times in between colouring but I have been a little disapointed as they colour is never quite as good as the proper dye. Its easy enough to apply and does make a difference to the appearence of the roots but i still feel i need to dye it after the usual 6-8 weeks. It is good if you want to quickly cover roots for a night out but i think it increases the amount of money you spend on hair colourant and doesn't really save your hair from any significant damage. I also find it difficult to find as it isn't as widely available as the normal hair colourants plus I don't think the colours really match that well but perhaps i didn't apply it ...  Read the complete review
