Clairol Root Touch-Up Nice'n Easy Permanent Hair Dye — 5A Medium Ash Brown, Pack of 2, 100% Gray Coverage & Precision Brush

Clairol Root Touch-Up by Nice'n Easy 5A Medium Ash Brown is a permanent two-step kit that delivers 100% gray coverage and blends regrowth into salon color in just 10 minutes.

If you want a fast, at-home solution to disguise roots between salon visits, this kit gives salon-inspired tools and a permanent formula designed to match professional shades. The system uses a developer bottle and color tube you mix in the included bowl, then apply precisely with the brush to refresh regrowth. Results are designed to be long-lasting and resistant to everyday sweat and wear while giving a natural finish that flows from root to tip.

How quickly will I see full gray coverage?

Most users achieve complete gray coverage in about 10 minutes for normal grays; thicker or coarser gray hairs may need up to 15 minutes. The permanent chemistry is formulated to penetrate and deposit consistent color for even results.

• Standard processing time: 10 minutes
• Stubborn or coarse grays: allow up to 15 minutes
• Works on previously salon-colored hair to blend roots
• Color is touch- and sweat-resistant after processing

Will this shade match my salon color?

Clairol’s ColorBlend Technology is engineered to harmonize with leading retail and salon hues so your refreshed roots look seamless. While exact matches depend on your base color and previous treatments, 5A Medium Ash Brown is formulated to neutralize warmth and create a cool, natural brown.

• Designed to complement salon shades and pre-formulated colors
• Neutral ash tone reduces brassiness
• Use strand test to confirm match before full application
• Blends root regrowth into existing color for a unified look

How easy is it to apply at home?

The kit includes a mixing bowl, application brush, and clear step-by-step directions so you can touch up like a pro. Application is quick: mix the two components, brush onto roots, set a timer, then rinse and condition—no salon appointment required.

• Mix tube 1 and bottle 2 in the supplied bowl
• Use the precision brush to target root lines and partings
• Simple rinse-and-condition finish after processing
• Perform a 48-hour skin sensitivity test before use

How long will the color last and how often should I retouch?

Color longevity varies with hair growth and washing frequency, but the formula is designed to cover roots for up to about three weeks between touch-ups. If you have fast regrowth or want a consistently uniform color, plan to retouch according to your personal root growth pattern.

• Expect color to hold between 2–3 weeks for most users
• Resists fading from daily activities and styling
• Reapply as roots become visible or every few weeks
• Follow directions for safe reapplication timing

Who is this for: This permanent root touch-up kit is ideal for people with visible regrowth who want a fast, at-home fix without a salon visit. It suits those who have previously colored hair and need their roots to match professional shades, anyone aiming to neutralize warm tones with an ash brown, and busy individuals seeking a reliable, easy-to-use system that provides natural-looking coverage between appointments.
