Does Madison Reed Root Touch Up Work?
Dealing with roots without an appointment
So this is what I am dealing with..root growth. Ugly dishwater blonde sprinkled with gross gray, just NOT attractive when you are the Chief Blonde and Blogger at Still Blonde after all these YEARS!
Normally when I want to get rid of my roots I do this:
Shocking I KNOW! Yes, the Chief Blonde gets a little help occasionally from the highlighting bottle!
However sometimes, my roots appear and I don’t have time to get to an appointment right away. Usually, I just try to comb my hair creatively (THINK DONALD) until I can get into see my stylist.
But who am I kidding right? I need a quick fix! As I detailed in yesterday’s blog post, Blonde all the Way to the Roots with Madison Reed Root Touch Up, I have tried most of the temporary methods out there for temporary root touch up including the mascara type, sprays, markers…none rocked my world. When Madison Reed approached me about doing a sponsored review for their best-selling Root Touch Up powder, I was super interested.

I must say the results speak for themselves. At least in my root shade that I used (Light Blonde), the Madison Reed Touch Up covered quickly (5 Minutes) and thoroughly. These photos are not lightened with any photo adjusting software, this is the lighting in which they were taken in my bathroom. The roots are not photo touched up in any way. This is my actual results and I would say it’s super impressive!

Wow that’s amazing! Perfect when you have a busy life and can’t just go to the salon when you need a retouch.
Awesome difference! I definitely need this for my roots.
This is a fantastic product. Cutting down on the price of salon visits. I will be needing this as soon as mine begins growing out again.
Wow! That worked incredibly well on you!
This stuff is so cool! I had never heard of it before!
It really did an amazing job. Your hair looks great. I don’t think your natural color is that bad.
You can definitely see the difference in the before and after photos. This sounds like a great product, definitely something I would like to try.
This would be perfect for my hair. I am always trying to stretch out my color appointments. It looks like it works very well.
This looks like a fantastic product. I will have to share this with my friends that color their hair.
Wow, I have grey hair that is very resistant to color and I hate coloring so often. This looks like a great alternative or in between solution!
Oh wow, you look amazing… and your roots don’t look too hot or anything. I will have to check this out… Because like you, I don’t always have time to make a hair appt.
This is really cool. I know that my aunts would really appreciate this product.
I am sure many people would appreciate the convenience of doing this root touch-up at home. Different shades to choose from and no irritating chemicals is a plus, too!
I didn’t even know this product existed. Great to know about it now. Thanks!
I have spent way too much time and money in the salon for a root touch up. This is such a great way to get it done at home.
That is so great! I love coloring my hair, but I hate when the roots grow out. With this, I can extend the time between coloring.
I have hd great experiences with Madison Reed hair color. It looks so natural.
Holy moly, what a difference! I’m in awe at how well this product covers up roots. Fortunately I don’t have to worry with this right now, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for the future.
I can definitely see a difference between the first few photos and the after photos. Do you have to put this on every day though? (It washes out with shampoo?)
Yes, Liz it washes out with every shampoo. It’s kind of to get you to your next appointment. But well worth it versus looking like a skunk.
Wow!! This turned out amazing!!! Roots were actually the one reason why I just couldn’t stay blonde!! Note I may go back 😉 thanks for the inspiration!!!
