Clairol Root Touch-Up Permanent Hair Color 5R Medium Auburn - Pack of 2, 100% Gray Coverage & Brush Application

Clairol Root Touch-Up by Nice'n Easy 5R is a permanent, brush-applied hair color that covers 100% of gray roots in just 10 minutes to seamlessly match salon shades.

If your roots are showing between salon visits or you want to refresh color quickly at home, this kit offers a fast, professional-feeling solution. The formula is designed to blend with existing color, including salon-dyed hair, delivering medium auburn/reddish brown tones with even coverage. Each pack contains the color tube, developer bottle, a mixing bowl and brush—everything needed for a controlled, salon-style touch-up at home.

How fast and long will this cover my gray roots?

Results appear in as little as 10 minutes for most grays; stubborn, resistant grays may require up to 15 minutes. Once processed and rinsed, the permanent color resists fading for weeks and helps mask regrowth until your next full color appointment.

• Standard processing time: 10 minutes (15 minutes for persistent grays)
• Permanent formula designed to last through multiple washes
• Effective for short-term color maintenance between salon visits
• Two kits in the pack extend your touch-up cycle or cover two sessions

Will Clairol 5R match my existing salon color?

Clairol Root Touch-Up uses ColorBlend Technology to create a close match with many retail and professional shades. For best results, compare the 5R medium auburn shade to your current color and perform a strand test to confirm compatibility.

• Designed to blend seamlessly with pre-existing color tones
• Strand test recommended 48 hours before full application
• Brush application targets only roots to preserve mid-lengths and ends
• Useful for matching warm, reddish-brown salon shades

How simple is the at-home application process?

The kit simplifies salon techniques into three steps: mix, brush, and dry. Included tools—bowl and angled brush—help you apply color precisely to roots without touching the rest of your hair, for a professional-looking finish at home.

• Mix color tube and developer bottle in the bowl provided
• Use the brush for accurate root-only application
• Rinse and condition after the recommended processing time
• No appointment required—ideal for quick touch-ups

Is this product safe and what prep is recommended?

The kit follows standard permanent hair dye precautions. Always perform the enclosed 48-hour skin sensitivity (patch) test before use. Read all instructions and warnings included to minimize irritation and ensure correct application.

• Complete the 48-hour allergy test before coloring
• Wear gloves and follow mixing ratios exactly
• Avoid scalp abrasions and rinse thoroughly if irritation occurs
• Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place
