Permanent Root Coverage Kits

Root Touch-Up Kit

This professional-grade kit is designed for permanent coverage of up to 1 inch of root growth. Developed alongside salon experts, it uses a low-ammonia permanent crème formula that blends naturally with your base color.

Ideal for those wanting a lasting solution without drastic color changes, this kit earned the 2021 Allure Best of Beauty Award and the 2022 Women’s Health Healthy Hair Award for Best Color/Dye.
How to Use: Start with clean, dry hair. Mix half a tube of color crème with one sachet of developer in the disposable bowl. Apply first to gray areas, cover with the processing cap, and leave for 45 minutes. Rinse until water runs clear, then shampoo and condition with the included sample.

Root Touch-Up Kit for Resistant Grays

If your gray roots are particularly stubborn, this kit offers a powerful yet gentle permanent formula that covers even the most resistant grays. It provides salon-quality results with a quick, mess-free application that blends flawlessly in minutes. Perfect for emergency touch-ups before special events, it keeps roots looking fresh longer, allowing you to extend time between salon visits.
This low-ammonia formula is safe for color-treated hair and is designed for those with 50% or more gray hair seeking reliable, long-lasting coverage.
How to Use: Mix half a tube of hair color crème with one developer sachet. Apply to gray roots first, then section hair and continue application. Cover with the processing cap and wait 45 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

Temporary Gray Root Coverage Options
