Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-Up

Now that I'm in my late 30s and my hair grows so blooming quickly my ever increasing grey hair is showing through at a frightening rate of approx 3-4 weeks. I have been colouring my hair at home now for almost a year, saving a whopping £40+ per colour at the hairdressers once a month. Given that it’s actually only the roots that really need doing so frequently so I thought I would Clairol ‘Nice ‘n Easy’ Root Touch Up a go. Clairol produce 12 colouring blending shades for root touch-up and it can be quite baffling when faced with them all but the box does have a Colour Result Guide on the side ... more

I have been colouring my hair now for longer than I can remember. Its a bit of a chore and something I don't particularly look forward to, but due to a few stray greys starting to make an appearance, I don't want to look or feel older than I possibly have to! I have tried lots of different brands over the years, but have recently been using Superdrugs own, as I tried it once on impulse and the colour and shine was lovely, and it is only £2.99.Bargain!!

((Next time I buy a box of this I will fill in any gaps in the review as i don't have the box in front of me right now.)) I've been using Nice n Easy hair colour for a couple of months now, ever since my naturally blonde hair played a cruel trick on me and turned mousey! My mum does it for me and I've got such thick hair that she always misses the roots, and my hair grows like lightning anyway! As I happened to be in Tesco the other day, I had a quick look down the hair colour aisle and only had enough change to buy the root touch up rather than another box of colour. It comes in the same ... more

I'm not quite forty, but for a good few years now, I've struggled with grey hair, particularly around my temples and parting, and need to colour it on a regular basis - I estimate that my hair is 40% grey now. There was a time when I was better off and could afford to have it coloured at the hairdresser's, but those days are now gone and I rely on home hair dye kits. Clairol Nice 'n Easy is my preference, although I have experimented with one or two others on the market. My hair is long, past shoulder length, and takes quite a lot of colouring. I am also concerned with the beating it must give ... more

About the product This is a product that was recommended to me by a friend. Like me, she is brunette naturally but dyes her hair blonde. I always dye my hair myself at home but I have to use a pre lightener before using dye as otherwise the dye has no effect. To touch up my roots I usually just use pre lightener on them, however this takes ages to work and has an awful smell. The point of this root touch up is to dye just your roots quickly and easily. Because I usually have to use a pre lightener before dying my hair I wasn't convinced that this would work on it's own but my friend assured me ... more
