What to know before buying

Always perform the allergy patch test 48 hours beforehand and a strand test. The product is not intended for anyone under 16, and the supplied warning says not to use it on an irritated, damaged or rash-affected scalp or after a previous reaction to hair colouring.
The listed three-week duration is described as lasting until root regrowth, not as a guaranteed fixed wear period. Follow the instruction leaflet, including its timing guidance for stubborn greys.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People looking to cover visible roots or greys without applying colour over the whole head.
Buyers seeking a permanent light-brown touch-up and willing to complete the required patch and strand tests.

Less suited to

Anyone under 16 or anyone with the scalp conditions or previous hair-colour reaction described in the safety warning.
People looking for a temporary root concealer or a full-head colouring kit.

Customer feedback highlights ease of use, root coverage, blending and colour matching, with some buyers finding a targeted application easier than colouring the whole head. These reports fit the product's root-focused design and precision brush, but do not guarantee a shade match. Feedback also includes reports of orange or ginger results and mixed views on how long the colour lasts. The listing's usual duration of up to three weeks should therefore be treated as a claim, not a consistent outcome.

Positive themes

Some customers say it blends with their hair tone and is quicker than colouring the whole head.

Negative themes

Some customers report that the colour can come out orange or ginger.

Mixed feedback

Customer feedback is divided on how long the colour lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the stated application time?

The listing gives 10 minutes. For stubborn greys, its directions say to leave the colour on for an additional five minutes and apply it in small sections.

How long does the colour last?

The listing says it lasts until root regrowth, usually up to three weeks. Customer feedback on longevity is mixed, so the duration may not match every buyer's experience.

The directions require an allergy patch test 48 hours before use and a strand test. Follow the safety warning and the instruction leaflet.

Is this intended for colouring all the hair?

It is presented as a targeted root touch-up for visible roots and greys, not as a whole-head colour application.
