Clairol Root Touch-Up Gel Semi-Permanent Hair Color — 5 Medium Brown, No Ammonia, Brush Applicator

Clairol Root Touch-Up Semi-Permanent Hair Color Blending Gel in 5 Medium Brown is a ready-to-use brush-applied gel that blends minor gray at roots and hairline in about 10 minutes and gradually washes out over several shampoos.

This no-mix, no-fuss gel is made to extend the life of your color between salon visits or full dyes. The formula is free of ammonia and peroxide, applies with a built-in applicator brush, and rinses clean with water only. Each use subtly darkens and blends grays at the temples, part line and roots, fading away after multiple washes so you can refresh coverage without long-term commitment.

How quickly will I see blended coverage?

Most users notice visible blending within ten minutes of application. The pigment deposits on gray strands and around the hairline to reduce contrast, so grays appear less obvious right away.

• Application time: about 10 minutes
• Rinse with water only—no shampoo required for initial rinse
• Immediate visual blending at temples, part and roots

How long does the color last and how does it fade?

This semi-permanent gel is designed to wash out gradually over multiple shampoos, giving you temporary coverage without permanent commitment. Expect coverage to remain for several washes before fading, depending on hair porosity and shampoo frequency.

• Typical wear: up to around 10 washes for most users
• Fades progressively—no harsh line-of-demarcation when it wears out
• Longevity influenced by hair texture, color history, and washing habits

Is this safe for damaged or color-treated hair?

The formula contains no ammonia and no peroxide, which avoids the lifting and oxidative steps of permanent dyes. Because it deposits color on the hair surface rather than altering natural pigment, it’s a low-impact option to refresh your look between treatments.

• Surface-depositing gel—no bleaching or chemical lift
• Suitable for use on previously dyed hair to blend roots
• Designed for spot application: temples, part lines, hairline and small root areas

How do I apply the gel for best results?

Use the built-in brush applicator to target sparse gray areas and roots; the reuse-friendly tube offers controlled strokes without mess. Apply to dry hair, leave for the recommended time, rinse and style as usual for a quick refresh.

• Apply to dry hair at temples, part, or roots
• Brush on evenly, wait about ten minutes, then rinse with water
• Dry and style; repeat as needed when coverage fades

Who this product is for: This Clairol Root Touch-Up Gel is aimed at people who want a fast, low-commitment solution to soften visible grays between color appointments. It works well for anyone seeking a targeted, damage-minimizing option—especially busy individuals, those who prefer not to use permanent chemicals, or people wanting to test a shade before making longer-term changes.
