Question 1

When and why should I use a Madison Reed Root Perfection Root Touch Up Kit?

Accepted Answer

Root Perfection covers visible gray roots in just 10 minutes &mdash; it's a permanent root touch-up designed to refresh your color between full applications or salon visits.   It's ideal for quickly touching up the hairline and part line at home, extending time between full colorings, and keeping roots looking fresh while traveling.

Question 2

Why choose Madison Reed Root Perfection over other root touch-up kits to cover grays?

Accepted Answer

Root Perfection delivers 100% permanent gray coverage in just 10 minutes with an ammonia-free, dermatologist-tested formula &mdash; designed specifically for visible regrowth along the hairline and part line.   It's a quick, reliable way to refresh roots between salon visits or full color applications without the harsh ingredients found in traditional root touch-up kits.

Question 3

How long does Root Perfection last after covering gray roots?

Accepted Answer

Root Perfection provides permanent gray root coverage that lasts approximately three weeks &ndash; depending on how quickly your hair grows. Because it's a permanent color, the results last until new root growth appears.

Question 4

Can I process Root Perfection longer than 10 minutes?

Accepted Answer

Only if your grays are very resistant - and never exceed 15 minutes total. Processing longer than recommended may cause the color to turn darker than expected. For most, 10 minutes is the ideal processing time.

Question 5

Can the Root Perfection Root Touch Up Kit cover roots all over the head?

Accepted Answer

No. Root Perfection is designed for the T-zone (hairline and part line) where gray roots are most visible. Each kit contains enough color mixture for these targeted areas, not full-head coverage. For all-over color, use our Radiant Hair Color Kit instead or to figure out the right gray coverage for you, read our Gray Coverage Guide.

Question 6

Is Madison Reed Root Perfection ammonia-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Root Perfection is an ammonia-free permanent hair color that delivers reliable gray coverage in just 10 minutes. It follows the Smart 8-Free standard - made without ammonia, PPD, resorcinol, parabens, phthalates, gluten, SLS, and titanium dioxie. All Madison Reed products are cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified.

Question 7

Is Madison Reed Root Perfection safe for hair and scalp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Root Perfection is dermatologist-tested and clinically proven to be non-damaging to hair and scalp health*.   The formula is infused with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract for shiny, healthy-looking hair that is nourished during the coloring process.   *According to an independent clinical study.

Question 8

Are Madison Reed hair color products cruelty-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Madison Reed hair color and care products are Leaping Bunny certified and cruelty-free, meaning our products are never tested on animals.

Question 9

Will Root Perfection match my existing hair color or make my roots look darker?

Accepted Answer

Root Perfection shades are formulated with neutral tones that blend naturally with your existing hair color shade. Choose the same level (3-8) as your current shade.   If you use a different hair color brand than Madison Reed, select the Root Perfection level based on that brand's shade description. Shade levels can vary between brands - for example: 'Medium Brown' may be a level 5 in some brands but a level 6 in Madison Reed.

Question 10

What’s included in a Root Perfection Root Touch Up Kit?

Accepted Answer

Each kit contains two complete applications and enough color mixture to cover the hairline and part line (30ml/1oz total). The kit includes:   - Permanent Hair Color Cream - Color Activator - Cleansing Wipe - Conditioning Hair Mask - Gloves - Reusable Mixing Bowl - Application Brush - Step-by-Step Instructions

Question 11

Can I save money with a Madison Reed subscription?
