It’s no secret that I like to multitask. In fact, if I don’t have at least 20 items on my “to-do” list, I consider it a slow day. And I find it particularly satisfying that whenever I speak with friends, colleagues and clients, their first reaction is, OMG Lena, you are so busy!
(I prefer this 100 times over So Lena, what have you been up to?)
Hence, I thrive on deadlines, flip the bird at eight hours of sleep and am that crazy mom, holding onto granola bars with her teeth while she secures her kid in his car seat. I take business calls from soccer practice and write blog posts on my iPhone. And then, only when I’m sure everything can and will get done according to plan, I realize I’ve forgotten about five other things. Yikes!
I begin to shuffle. Blog posts are pushed back. Dinner dates get cancelled. And my monthly hair appointment? It’s always, always, always the first thing to be rescheduled.
After all, *how* can I afford myself the luxury of two hours in a stylist’s chair when there are deadlines to be met? Dark roots and peek-a-boo grays. It was a thing. (Past tense, people! Read on!)
The truth is, with my busy schedule, I normally make it into the salon once every 6-8 weeks, even though with my dual-processed hair, I really should be visiting every 3-4 weeks, max. And although I’ve have guilt about my less-than-immaculate hairline, I’ve never felt comfortable colouring my hair at home, and it’s hard to reconcile giving up half my day (travel, processing, drying and styling) to have my roots touched up at the salon.
But here’s the problem – we travel. A lot. And I began to find myself stressed out days before a media trip, scrambling to secure an appointment with my stylist. Alas, when it didn’t happen, I felt self-conscious about my roots, opting to hide them with hats, ponytails and head bands.
Surely, there had to be a solution – one that allowed me to extend my hair colour between salon visits easily, conveniently, and most importantly, on my schedule.
With Clairol Root Touch Up by Nice ‘n Easy, colour me AMAZED.
(Technically, colour just my roots amazed.)
Now if you’re thinking, Boxed colour? YOU? – please hear me out. Because I too was skeptical at first, wondering if an at-home solution really could stand up to its promises. However, seeing is believing! In the following video, I put Clairol Root Touch Up by Nice ‘n Easy to the test!
– Just 10 minutes to say goodbye to roots and grays. FACT. This is so important to me, because I can forgo spending hours at the salon and have the confidence to know I can take off anytime, anywhere, and have freshly touched up roots.
– 21 shades, designed to match any shade, even from the salon. TRUTH. In fact, with my newly dark brown locks, I had a few options to choose from.
– Permanent color that blends seamlessly. YES. Goodbye salt and pepper grays! In just 10 minutes, it’s like someone had airbrushed away my roots. The trick is to use it on your hair’s part and crown where the grays are likely to be most visible, in addition to any other area of hair that is most exposed with your particular hairstyle.
– Lasts up to 3 weeks with 100% gray coverage. CONFIRMED. I’m happy to report that I was able to put off a salon visit before our trip to California! And when I finally did have the time to schedule in a colour, I had gone seven weeks in between. Sweet success!
The most important thing to remember about Root Touch-Up by Nice ‘n Easy is that it extends the life of your hair colour so you can postpone at-home colour or salon visits – it’s not meant to replace your regular touch-ups entirely. However, it’s a great option for when you need a quick refresh and don’t have the time (or finances) to opt for a full colour.
With that, I’m off to plan our next family adventure! For more information on Clairol Root Touch Up by Nice ‘n Easy, visit clairol.com.

It’s so nice that it works so well.
I’ll have to give this a try….like right now! My roots are coming in!
It`s fast and easy.
I always wondered how well this product works and this was nice to see.I am also fascinated that there are 21 different shades to choose from.I know this is a great product but I didn’t know that either.
I will have to try this as going to a salon is a pita and costly. I love your eyebrows.
I love root touch up perfect for when I don’t want to do my whole head
Great video Lena, I too only make it every 5 t0 6 weeks, so am going to try this product.
This is such a great idea! I hate having dark roots but sometimes I just don’t have time for a full colour. I’ll definitely pick this up!
I love this product because you can easily cover your roots and not your whole head of hair.
looking great. Thanks for the review on Nice ‘n Easy Root touch up. I am tired of running to the salon for a root touch up also my wallet could use the break. I will be trying this product.
Now I know which product to try when I start dying my hair.
I simply cannot afford to treat myself to salon visits every couple months. I always use box color for those in-between months & yes there are so many great colors, we live in a new era of DIY hair color!
Thanks for the post in today,s world there are so many products out there available to be used at home and thanks to this post i ma doing my own hair and saving $$$$$$$ and ilove it.
I have to try this!!!!
Now with two little kids, I try to save where I can. Hair dresser coast a good penny, this looks like a great help :)
My mother has always used Nice and Easy and she swears by it. Now I should try it!
I dye my hair myself, I haven’t ever paid a Salon to do it for me because it is an expense I cant afford!
I just wanted to say how I loved the video and now my daughter and I both use this root touch up.She has premature grey in her hair and loves this product now as much as I do.
