## Before you buy

- 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.

## 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

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: Customers report that it is easy to apply and useful for covering grey roots.
- 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.
