Clairol’s Consulting Colourist, Luis Pacheco, offers some tips to achieve the best grey-coverage at home:

2. For stubborn grey hairs, look for a product with a pretreatment.

Look for a brand that fights the signs of aging hair including dryness, coarseness and frizz.

Products like Clairol Root Touch Up by Nice ‘n Easy provides 100 per cent grey coverage for three weeks. It contains a blend of tones guaranteed to seamlessly match both at-home hair color and salon shades.
