FAQ

Is root touch-up better than spray?
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.

Covering grey roots does not have to mean colouring your entire hair every time.

A targeted root touch-up approach allows you to maintain your colour, use less product, and stay consistent between full-head colourings.
