Roux Instant Root Concealer by Roux, Brown Hair Color, Temporary Touchup Stick, Pack of 1

The Roux 'Tween Time Instant Root Concealer Stick in Medium Brown is a lifesaver! This little stick is perfect for those in-between salon visits when my roots start to show. The color blends seamlessly with my natural hair, and the application is super easy – just a few swipes and my roots are covered. It’s compact and convenient, making it easy to carry in my purse for quick touchups on the go. What I love most is that it stays put until I wash it out, so I don’t have to worry about any smudging or fading throughout the day. This product is a must-have for anyone looking to maintain a flawless look between hair colorings. Highly recommend!

The Roux Temporary Haircolor Touch-up stick works exactly as expected. I had used a similar product in the past and this was as good if not better. The few reviews that I read about it not spreading properly must have been because they weren't wetting the tip before applying (read the directions?). If you do, it works perfectly. And as far as the smell, I found the odor to be minimal and not offensive at all. Much less than most hair products, hair sprays, gels, perms or colors! I find it works best if you lift the hair with a brush or comb and apply to the roots as you move upward. It will get on your skin if it's real wet and you push too hard, but you can just wipe it off with a damp tissue. I have very dark brown hair and this covers the shiny grays as they grow out between colors. It definitely tones them down and makes it look natural until I can get colored again. It is "temporary" and will wash out with your next shampoo or if you go swimming but I find it lasts all day and have never had it run even if I sweat. I recommend this to anyone who wants to minimize the harsh contrast while your gray is growing out.

I've been coloring my own hair for many years with over-the-counter products. Even at 60, my hair grows pretty fast and I was always faced with either coloring it every 3-4 weeks or being embarrassed about the grey gradually showing at the roots until the next coloring. Though coloring it myself is pretty inexpensive, it takes time out of a busy day. Then I discovered Roux's "'Tween Time". I've been using it for over a year now and I've been THRILLED at how well it works! I wash my hair once a week and apply it to my wet hair. I only need to apply it where the hair is parted and where the roots show at the back of my head. I bought the dark brown when I was using a darker hair color, but I've found it doesn't matter what hair color I use. It still blends and colors over that nasty grey. In fact, I will kind of streak it to give myself some sort of multi-color highlight look. I can go many, many weeks now before I have to color my hair. When I was visiting an out-of-town family member recently, I needed to cover those roots so I bought a spray. It was awful! Hard to use, impossible to target the right areas! That's why when I came back home I simply HAD to write a review on this wonderful product!

This product is a little tricky to get use to at first. You do have to moisten it pretty well for it to work. Like another reviewer said, I put a small cup of water next to me while I am applying this to my hair and dip the product into the water several times during the process. At first it comes out very sticky and looks wet. It does have a smell which is not that great but you get use to it and it does go away after a while. It does dry very well and can be brushed which causes it to soften up and not look so sticky. I am very happy with this product as far as it doing what I need it to do. My gray grows in too quickly for me to constantly dye it. So, After I apply all my makeup and am ready to head out the door, I dip this in a cup of water , apply to my hair, wait a few minutes for it to dry, brush out my hair and viola! The gray is covered! Just have patience, take your time and you will be pleased with it.

There are other temporary color sticks on the market but this one is the best. I have gray almost white hair. I used to have weaved brown streaks dyed onto the top of my hair. When my color expert moved away I used a couple of color sticks before this Roux color stick but they did not work as well. The others (3) did not look natural and they flaked. I did not like them at all. I almost gave up but gave this one a try. It is easy to use, it looks good and since I wash my hair every other day it washes out easily.

I don't know if I should do this or not, but I'm going to review this for an alternative use -- eyebrows. For the hair on your head, it depends on how much gray you're trying to cover. Wet it first, and it does okay if you are only trying to conceal a little bit. More than a little, don't bother. But for eyebrows, it's a different story! And I don't mean just covering gray hairs, I mean painting on some eyebrows. I have discovered that if I wet the crayon and then use a Q-tip to pick up a bunch of color on one end, I can make my eyebrows look like there's a lot more there than there actually is. As I've aged, I've lost a lot of my eyebrow hair, especially toward the outer ends. But this is by far the best eyebrow makeup I've ever used, and it ends up looking so natural! Just sweep or dab that Q-tip with a lot of the wet color over your brow, then take the other clean end and go over your brow lightly again to smooth it all out or clean up any place you colored outside of the lines -- totally amazing. After a couple times, it is very easy to do. I don't know what possessed me to try this, but I sure do love having good looking, no fuss eyebrows again!

Roux Touch-Up Stick looks like a giant brown lipstick coming out of the container. It needs to be wetted thoroughly, and then rubbed onto the hair you want to color. The coverage is good, it's masks my gray roots enough so that they're not really noticeable. On the downside, it will rub off a lot while your still damp in your roots. So, be careful! It rubs off a little even when it dries, too. So, don't fix your hair where you can't wash your hands. The smell is pretty overpowering at first but it doesn't last, thankfully. Last, it can leave the portions of the hair rather waxy and textured where applied. Overall it's a nice cheap way to save some $$ in between colors, if you don't mind some minor issues.

This stuff works better than anything I have Ever used for root touch ups.

A bit thick on the hair and smudges on the scalp . But does the job if you’re in a hurry .

Ottimo prodotto, me ho provato altri ma questo per me rimane il migliore. Basta bagnarlo e copre perfettamente i capelli bianchi, certo per chi ne ha pochi e tra una tinta e l'altra .

Mi esposa tiene canas desde sus 25 y ahora que tiene más de 35, me comenta que este producto le ayuda mucho a ocultar las canas sin tener que teñirse con tanta frecuencia. Súper recomendado, el efecto se quita al lavar el pelo y es perfecto para hacer retoques. Lo solíamos comprar cuando vivimos en Canadá y ahora que vivimos en España lo volvimos a conseguir y es un alivio para ella.

Consigliatissimo. Copre perfettamente i capelli bianchi, nascondendo la ricrescita. Facile da mettere, non si macchia la cute, a differenza degli spray di altre marche. Profuma leggermente e dura tantissimo !

When you're in a hurry and you need to hide that growth.
