dpHUE Root Touch-Up Kit Medium Blonde - Permanent Gray Coverage

In this review of the dpHUE Root Touch-Up Kit in Medium Blonde, the bottom line is simple: it is a reliable at-home option for anyone who wants a convenient, professional-feeling solution for roots and grays between salon visits. The kit is built for targeted root work rather than full-head color, and its low ammonia, permanent creme formula aims to deliver 100% gray coverage for up to about 1 in of regrowth. For those who need a two-application kit that includes tools and post-care samples, this is worth considering.

Key Features

• Salon-developed formula: The low ammonia permanent creme color was developed with professionals to tackle roots without a full salon session.
• Two applications included: Each kit contains enough color, developer, and tools for two root touch-up sessions, which adds to its value.
• Complete at-home kit: The box unfolds into a convenient workstation and includes mixing bowls, gloves, processing caps, an applicator brush, and shampoo and conditioner samples.
• Shade guidance: Available in six shades that are intended to blend into your base color, with advice to select the shade closest to your natural roots.
• Health-conscious formula: The product is free of parabens, SLS and SLES sulfates and is Leaping Bunny certified, making it suitable for conscious consumers.

Who It's For

The kit is best for people with visible root regrowth up to about 1 in who want a permanent, targeted solution between salon visits. It suits those who prefer a low ammonia option and appreciate a full set of application tools and clear instructions for a fail proof experience.

It is not intended for full-head color changes, dramatic color shifts, or lightening hair, so anyone seeking an all-over dye or a lighter shade should look at salon services or products specifically formulated for full coverage and lift.

Pros & Cons
