Clairol Root Touch-Up Permanent Hair Color in shade 5R (Medium Auburn/Reddish Brown) is a cream-based at-home permanent hair color product designed to blend roots and cover grey. This listing includes 3 individual retail kits.
The shade designation 5R indicates a Level 5 (medium brown) base with a red tone modifier. The red component produces a warm auburn or reddish-brown result appropriate for individuals whose natural or previously colored hair falls in the medium auburn or reddish-brown range. The product is marketed as matching leading shades and even salon color, designed to blend with existing medium auburn and reddish-brown hair colors.
The active ingredients listed in the item specifics are Ammonia, Hydrogen Peroxide, and P-Phenylenediamine (PPD). PPD is a common active ingredient in permanent hair color formulations and is a known allergen for some individuals. Buyers with known sensitivities to PPD or any of the listed active ingredients should not use this product without consulting a healthcare provider. A patch test is strongly recommended before each use per standard hair color safety practice.
The formulation is a permanent cream. Permanent hair color penetrates the hair shaft and deposits color that does not wash out with shampooing. Treatment time is not explicitly stated in the product documentation for this specific listing -- buyers should follow the timing instructions included in each kit. The product is described as providing 100% grey coverage.
Additional features listed in the item specifics include: all natural ingredients, contains vitamins, cruelty-free with no animal testing, and paraben-free. The stated period after opening is 6 months.
Each retail kit contains a permanent color cream, a color activating lotion, a brush, and a bowl. No gloves are listed as included in the kit contents per the product documentation -- buyers should have gloves available before beginning application.
This lot is 3 retail boxes -- new with box, unused. (Image on box may vary)
📦 WHAT'S INCLUDEDIndividuals with medium auburn or reddish-brown hair who want to manage root regrowth and grey coverage at home. The warm red tone in shade 5R is appropriate for those with naturally or previously colored auburn, reddish-brown, or warm medium-brown hair where a cool or neutral root color would look noticeably mismatched. The paraben-free and cruelty-free formulation appeals to buyers who prefer products with those characteristics in their hair care routine. The lot of 3 provides three full root touch-up applications, practical for a 3-month supply for users who touch up roots every 4 to 6 weeks.
❓ FAQsQ: This product contains P-Phenylenediamine (PPD) -- what does that mean for me? A: PPD is a chemical compound used as a primary color developer in permanent hair dyes. It is effective at producing lasting color results but is also one of the most common contact allergens in hair color products. Individuals with a known PPD allergy or sensitivity must not use this product. All users should perform a patch test at least 48 hours before each full application -- instructions for patch testing are included in the kit. This information is provided for transparency, not as medical advice -- consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about PPD sensitivity.
Q: What is the period after opening and why does it matter? A: The stated period after opening for this product is 6 months. This means each kit should be used within 6 months of first being opened. For a lot of 3, kits that remain sealed are not subject to the 6-month window until opened. Buyers should factor their usage rate against the 6-month post-opening period for each individual kit.
Q: Is shade 5R the same as a standard auburn or does it lean more brown? A: Shade 5R is designated Medium Auburn/Reddish Brown by Clairol. Level 5 is a medium brown base depth, and the R modifier adds a red/auburn tone. The result sits in the warm medium brown to medium auburn range -- warmer and more red than a neutral medium brown but not as intensely red as a bright auburn or copper shade. Actual results will vary based on starting hair color and existing color history.
Q: Can I use this on previously bleached or lightened hair? A: The item specifics list the product as suitable for all hair types including color-treated hair. However, applying permanent red-toned color to bleached or heavily lightened hair can produce results that differ significantly from the stated shade -- lightened hair absorbs pigment differently than natural or previously darkened hair. Buyers with bleached hair should consult the product instructions carefully and consider a strand test before full application. No representation of specific results on bleached hair is made here.
