Root Touch Up

I use the root touch up all the time - I've often gotten confused and bought a different shade of the Nice & Easy root touch up, going "up" or "down" the color spectrum. I don't see any difference, frankly - and no one can tell. A friend of mine told me about it and her hair looks great. I don't think the color on the box is a good indicator at all. My husband does my roots for me and he doesn't really know what he's doing, but it looks fine. My hair is darker than yours but it has highlights lower down (I stretch out the salon treatments by doing my own roots in between) so I use the medium golden brown. I think you'll be fine with the light golden brown.

I think it will be ok. Light brown (across all brands) is the same level - golden will just give you golden tones, but should be the same level as what you currently are. If you have questions, there should be a 1 800 number on the box if you're at all concerned. Where you really notice it is on light blond shades but with brown, shouldn't be a problem even if you were off a bit. But it should blend fine :)

i did root touch-ups myself for years in various shades of ash blonde, and they all looked fine. it'll blend. no one can get an exact match every time.

Just pick out one that is close and don't leave it on so long.

I use a frosting kit at home and pull my own hair through the cap then dye it. I think this works better because I can do it every couple of months or so and you can't see any root growth/

You can buy special root touchup kits, but keep in mind that you can always use your regular color for a root touch up as well. I called the company that makes my color, and they told me that it was simply a 1:1 ratio of color and developer, and that I could make them in small amounts to touch up roots anytime. So, when I need a root touch up, I mix 2 oz of color with 2 oz of developer for the touchup in a small plastic bowl. And leave the left over color and developer unmixed and in their original bottles back in the cupboard for later (still plenty of product left for a full color later, or multiple more touchups). The color and developer only go bad after they have been mixed, so as long as you make sure the bottles don't touch, you can keep them for long periods of time after opening.

Just call the company to find out the ratio for your color. My color:developer is 1:1, yours may be different.
