Semi-Permanent Color Blending Gel

I'm a natural redhead (auburn) and I've started graying over the recent years. I've been dying my hair with box dye and because my hair grows fast, dying my hair had become a monthly ritual. Dying my hair every 3-4 weeks isn't healthy for it and I've been looking for ways to extend my color. I was very pleased to find this. I've tried sprays, powders and semi permanent dye with varying degrees of success and this is definitely the best. Because this was a cheaper option and on sale, I had low expectations for it do so so didn't take a before picture unfortunately. I decided to take pictures once I saw how rich the color was. I put it on about a 1/3 inch of regrowth with less than 40% gray. I left it on about thirty minutes and rinsed it with lukewarm water. It rinsed out easy and when it dried, it was exactly my color. I only did the crown of my head and my hairline and doing that, I think I could get 2-3 applications out of the tube. I would recommend a glove to let you distribute the dye with your fingers instead of the brush because using the brush alone, you're going to use much more product than you need to. I applied it to clean damp hair, not soaking wet. the formula is thick but easily spreadable. It comes out the tube easily so watch how hard you squeeze. It doesn't drip and washes off skin easily (though it may stain your nails so wear gloves). No need to apply heat or wrap your hair in a cap. Also, there's no hair dye smell. I don't know if it will last 6-10 washes like the box says but even if I only get 3-4 washes, I've gotten my money's worth.

I love the applicator and the fact that you can use it more than once and it comes already mixed. However, it doesn’t cover the roots, the gray! My hair color is medium brown and I bought a dark brown thinking it would work. Left it on for 20 minutes, didn’t shampoo or conditioned my hair as per instructions, just rinsed it, and still didn’t cover.

This is pretty great! The bottle is designed for multiple applications. My grey is just starting and mostly at my hairline. Especially at the temples. It matches my (medium brown) hair color well enough. The small, new greys made my hairline look broken and this helps achieve a fuller look. It's FAR superior to the spray powders. Those were always messy and transferred to the scalp for an unnatural look, plus washed right out in the shower or left a smudge on the pillow. I've washed my hair at least 5 times so far and have done 2 deep conditioning treatments and the color is still holding strong. I wash my hair every 2 or 3 days, so each application will last a few weeks. I definitely recommend it for light, precision coverage!

Goes on looking dark but actually after wash out it is a nice blonde color. It fades in couple of weeks but does blend in and color the gray roots.

I am 95% gray by the age of 52 so NOT dyeing is NOT an option! But to have a great spray-on root cover-up designed to 100% match whatever Clairol brand I buy is new and FANTASTIC! [Also, in case you haven't done the research, Clairol hands-down has the longest gray-covering color on the market, so if you are dyeing to cover gray hair, don't both buying any other product.] Knowing that, you can wait for sales; watch for them at your local pharmacy, everywhere! When I find a Clairol color on a great sale -- I pretty much clear out the ENTIRE SHELF OF THEM! I regularly can find the color for 50% off, or at least often enough to use up my LAST stash of huge purchasing! (Also, if you find them on the clearance rack because they are CLOSE to expiring, just like so many food products, the colors last much longer than the official "expiration date" does.) I haven't seen the spray on sale (except by being a CVS loyalty member and getting a $10/coupon for free each month + a host of other random coupons CVS texts me, which I can "send" to my loyalty card on my phone and then use at the checkout counter if I need root cover-up spray -- or simply to stock up on more.) But this exact match to Clairol's specific colors is new -- at least as far as I've seen in late summer 2023. I save it and use it only for times I'm officiating a wedding or otherwise need to look 100% polished and professional. Lastly, I've tried all the various root cover up applicator styles -- the powers, pens, lipstick-like applications, and different types of sprays. This is definitely the best I've tried so far. A spray, it doesn't leave my hair sticky and frozen (almost like hair spray) and it even lasts for several washes -- which I've NEVER seen in root coverups before! YaYa Clairol, especially for women who got the bad-luck-plucked-my-first-gray-hair-in-college women!

This was my go to for quick easy touch up. Last time was a disaster.... Rear end of the tube broke open sending color across the room. Ruined a.fabric shower curtain and a mess to clean up.

I absolutely love this product. I have not used permanent dye in 4 months since using this. I just cover my roots as they grow. It actually last for 5 to 6 weeks for me until my next touch up. I wash my hair every 3rd day. Maybe for someone who washes their hair everyday may not last as long. I find it works best after I wash my hair. I towel dry and while my hair is still damp and put the root cover on for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse it out. It actually did not work as well when I applied to dry hair. It's a game changer. My hair is actually healthier and growing by not constantly dying it with permanent dye. Do not get rid of this product. It works for me.

Made my scalp burn and It does not cover Grey's. The concept is good I am always looking for a tube dye brush . They need to come up with better dye for sensitive skin and that it actually covers greys.
