I am a natural redhead going gray naturally so im looking for a color that would help fill in bare/thinning spots rather than covering all my gray. Would the darker of the 2 color tone option work for me? I think the red tone option would be too dark for me.
- Asked by Cathy

Any allergic reactions reported?
- Asked by Gigi
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationHair products contain ingredients which may cause a sensitivity. We always recommend you do a sensitivity test before coloring your hair. Perform a sensitivity test at least 48 hours before use. This test represents an important precaution. However, be aware that even if a sensitivity test has been carried out you may still experience a reaction. The sensitivity test is not a guarantee of avoiding future allergic reactions. Always consult a doctor if you have any questions or concerns.Was this answer helpful to you

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

I've not colored my hair in years. I have salt and pepper hair that is mostly white on top in the front. I'd like to add some dimension near the root area of a couple sections but am unsure if I should get dark brown or black. Which would you recommend?

- 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

Love the dual brow and root cover up
I'm really excited about the idea of having a dual brow powder and root powder - I think it's great to have in one set, it's easy to apply, not messy, and now your brows can actually match your hair color. As a brow powder this worked really well for me, it applied easily. It was a good color match...

Hair Type Very Curly Hair
The compact was all broken up when I received it so I'm not able to really use it as intended. I have to be careful that I set the case down flat on a surface where it won't be touched so that I don't get it all over me when I use it.

I have searched and searched for a product to cover the grays in between hair coloring, and this is the best. It's also approved by my awesome hairdresser, as many other products leave a build up that is hard for hair coloring to get through. Work at blending this color and it looks great. Highly recommend!
Not worth the price
For very little product, its not worth it and doesn't do a great job. Same goes for color wow root touch uo. Both of these are overpriced, very little product and dont do a great job at covering up
