If I use Madison Reed root touch up in Golden Medium Brown 6G Dervio, which color should i order for the brow filler/ root touch up powder?
- Asked by Christine
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationHi! For best results and coverage, we recommend using a Root Touch Up Powder that is close in color with your natural color (not the permanent color used). For example, if your natural color (as it grows from the roots) is a dark brown, we can recommend using our Ombra Root touch Up Powder.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
What color root touch up should I use if I colored previously with 5NGM?
- Asked by Grey
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationHello, we can recommend continuing with your Catabia Brown 5NGM for your root touch up applications or using our Root Perfection Calabria. Root Perfection was created for those who color their hair in salons, and who are looking for a quick touch-up for gray roots in between salon visits. The Root Perfection kit includes just enough to only cover the visible roots at the hairline and part line and works in just 10 minutes. For regular at-home colorers, Radiant Cream Color is permanent while creating a sophisticated, multi-dimensional salon-fresh color result, available in a larger range of shades, and contains enough color for a full-head (full roots) application. To refresh your mid-ends (already color treated hair), we can recommend using our Amaretto Gloss.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
What kind of talc is in this product? Can it be verified that it doesn't contain asbestos?
- Asked by Jess
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationHello, All of our products are free of ingredients like PPD, gluten, ammonia, and resorcinol that may dry, weaken, and damage your hair, cause skin sensitivity, and generally smell bad and aren’t good for you. Our unique formula was developed to deliver hair color with a lower chemical profile than other hair colors, while providing all the shine and conditioning you’d expect from a salon color treatment. We followed the same motto when making our other products such as The Great Cover Up Root Touch Up and Brow Filler! I understand your concern is our Talc ingredient however, our talc is cosmetic grade, which means it is purified and does not contain asbestos. Purified cosmetic grade talc is the only talc that is permitted in any products since 1973, so there is no danger from this. The Great Cover Up Root Touch Up and Brow Filler uses many binding and ‘wetting’ agents which make the product dust-free and minimize any dangers from inhalation.Was this answer helpful to you

The Root Touch Up I have been waiting for

This product is excellent. It goes on easy and stays through physical activity and several days of not washing hair. It covers very well and really helps with the eye brow coverage. Great product.

I really like the coverage of my greys. You don't need a lot of it to get good coverage and the brush helps you blend really well.
