FAQ

Permanent root touch-up provides long-lasting coverage, while sprays wash out after one wash.
Can I use it between full-head colourings?
Yes. It is designed to be used between full-head colourings or salon visits.
Does root touch-up damage hair?
Targeted application helps reduce overall chemical exposure compared to full-head colouring.
