I've been using Root Reboot in Vernazza 4-C for a few years now for the very resistant grey I have between salon visits. Because it's so resistant, I leave the product on for 60 minutes to get complete coverage. It lasts about 2 weeks, which is what the product says it will do. I'm very happy with t...

Had Such High Hopes
I had such high hopes when I found this product. I had been on the hunt since my long time favorite 10 minute color has been discontinued. I actually color my own hair at home using salon color so 10 minute color is the only time I use store bought. My gray comes in about a week and a half after ...

Easy to use but didn't cover my gray hair
Great Results

It was easy to use and covered my extremely stubborn gray regrowth around my temples. I apply around those areas first, apply everywhere else, and then leave it on for about 35-40 minutes (as I do with any root touch up kit). Anything less isn't effective and 10 minutes certainly does nothing for my regrowth. The neutral color is great as I am ashy and that is hard to match with a kit. I bought this in store so I can't speak to delivery. Although the colorist in store helped me choose the appropriate color since I was in between.
Works well between full coloring
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
It works well when you want to touch up color/Cover grays on your part and around your face. Just wish that there were a few more color selections because it doesn't quite match up to the normal Madison Reex color I use.
