Madison Reed Root Touch-Up Kit — 3N Corato Black, 2 Permanent Applications, 10-Min 100% Gray Coverage

Madison Reed Root Perfection in 3N Corato Black is a two-application, cream-based permanent root touch-up kit that delivers up to 100% gray coverage in as little as 10 minutes while conditioning hair.

This compact kit is designed to extend the time between salon visits by targeting visible roots and gray regrowth with a salon-quality, ammonia- and PPD-free formula. Each box includes two full applications so you can treat your hair twice or keep a spare for later. Infused with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract, the color both deposits pigment and helps maintain softness and shine.

How quickly does the root color work and how long does it last?

Root Perfection processes in about 10 minutes for most roots and up to 15 minutes for resistant gray. Because it’s a permanent cream color, the results are long-lasting on the treated hair—just as with a salon permanent application—so regrowth, not fading, becomes the limiting factor. You can expect to refresh roots every few weeks depending on your hair growth and desired look.

• Permanent cream formula processes in 10 minutes (15 minutes for stubborn grays)
• Two complete applications in each box for repeat touch-ups
• Visible results at the hairline and part line where grays show first

What exactly comes in the kit and how do I apply it?

Each box contains two of everything you need: color cream, activator, the Color Therapy hydrating mask, cleansing wipe, and gloves, plus a reusable precision brush and mixing bowl. Application is designed for accuracy—use the brush and bowl to mix, apply to the root zones, process, rinse, and follow with the included mask for conditioning. No separate conditioner or extra tools required.

• Two full applications: color cream, activator, mask, wipe, and gloves
• Includes reusable precision brush and bowl for targeted application
• Step-by-step use: mix, apply to roots, wait, rinse, and mask

Is this formula gentle and what ingredients help hair feel healthy?

Root Perfection is formulated without ammonia, PPD, parabens, resorcinol, phthalates, gluten, SLS, or titanium dioxide, offering a gentler alternative to many drugstore root kits. The Color Therapy Mask included with every application contains keratin and argan oil to replenish moisture and improve manageability after coloring. The product is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified; licensed colorists from Madison Reed are also available to help with shade matching.

• Free from ammonia, PPD, parabens, and other harsh additives
• Color Therapy Mask with keratin and argan oil nourishes and adds shine
• Cruelty-free, Leaping Bunny certified, and salon-grade formulation

Will this shade match my salon color and cover stubborn grays?

3N Corato Black is formulated to blend seamlessly with Madison Reed salon shades and most dark natural colors, delivering uniform black coverage at the roots and along the part. The permanent pigmentation is designed for thorough gray coverage, even on coarser, resistant grays when left to process for the recommended time. If you’re unsure about the match, Madison Reed colorists can help you confirm shade compatibility before applying.

• Shade 3N Corato Black blends with dark salon colors and natural black hair
• Permanent pigment provides comprehensive gray concealment
• Madison Reed colorists available for shade guidance
