ClairolRoot Touch-Up by Nice'n Easy Permanent Hair Dye, 6R Light Auburn/Reddish Brown Hair Color, Pack of 2

My go-to, but I think this color is being discontinued. :(

I love this stuff. My natural hair is dark brown with some grays, but the "baby hairs" on my neck and forehead are very light. I dye my hair with "Light Auburn" (Loreal 6R shades), and about 6 weeks later need to re-dye (you can see the brown roots as a distinct line against the red). I used to use the 6R hair color to touch-up (following the "touch-up directions") but it leaves my hair all the exact same color (the hallmark of home-dying...). If, instead, I use the root touch-up, the effect is different: the root touch-up is just a tad browner than the dye, so at 6-8 weeks after a full dye, when I use the Root Touch Up 6R, rather than just more of the hair dye, my hair looks awesome--very natural (just slightly darker at the roots than the ends). Then, when it grows in, I do NOT have the distinct brown/red line...I can go 6+ weeks without re-dying, or until the grays drive me nuts. I can go almost 3-4 months without doing a full re-dye, but then I CAN (because by then my ends need a boost of red) do a full re-dye without saturating my hair.I have pretty generically brown hair with natural red highlights, pale skin and blue eyes, and have died my hair "Light Auburn" (Loreal 6R shades) for so long everyone thinks I have red hair. Anytime I have tried using any red hair color that mentions brown, such as Loreal's "6AB Chic Auburn Brown" or "6RB Light Reddish Brown", the brown deposited so heavily that it really looked fake (the brown will dye the light baby hairs on my neck and forehead, and it looks weird). I find that 6R (no B!) leaves the fine hairs that grown in around my face a light color, not dark, and it looks so much more natural. So I was skeptical about using a root touch-up that mentioned a brown in the name, but because the root touch up is labeled 6R (no B!), I gave it a try. While the root touch up seems darker than the regular hair dye, it does NOT dye the light hairs a dark brown. Yey! When I use the Clairol Root Touch-Up Permanent Hair Color Creme, 6R Light Auburn Brown, on my roots, paired with Loreal's 6R Light Auburn (Excellence or Preference...doesn't matter) on my hair, I get a professional-looking, natural look that, when it grows out, does NOT show a line. It may just be my imagination, but the 6R root touch-up is just a hair darker than the 6R hair color, so it is the perfect in-between.

Excellent results. Thank you, Clairol - reduces my visits to the beauty salon to 3 x a year.

This does what it says & covers grays nicely.

I've been using this for years, in the shade 6R. It's a great match for a natural redhead. I am between a lighter level 6 and a darker 7 and this blends perfectly and naturally. Every root touch-up kit I find in the store is an unnatural shade of red, more close to the trendy shades. I'm not sure why hair color manufacturers think redheads don't need their roots touched up, but we do!I buy this in a two-pack on Amazon as this is the only place I can find it, unless Clariol has it in stock...why pay shipping when you have Prime? I hope they don't discontinue this shade, I already have a small stockpile just in case!

Good value

Covers roots only for a quick refresh.NotLong lasting. Check expiration date hot stamped on packaging

The formula always work really well on my greying roots! I’ve been using it for 7 years. But this color did not hit the mark. Note: my base color is a dark copper blonde. This color came out more chocolate and less copper. 🫤
