L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Permanent Hair Color Kit — 5A Medium Ash Brown (2 Count), 10-Minute Gray Coverage with Precision Brush

L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Permanent Hair Color Kit is a ready-to-use root touch-up system that covers gray regrowth in just 10 minutes with a precision brush for neat, targeted application.

If you need a fast, reliable fix between full-color appointments, this kit is built to refresh your roots without the time, mess, or expense of a salon visit. The formula is permanent and designed for small-area applications—root lines, partings, temples, and hairlines—so you get even gray coverage that blends with your existing shade. Everything arrives pre-measured and ready to apply, making the process simpler whether you're new to at-home color or a routine user.

How quickly will I see gray coverage and how long does it last?

Gray roots are covered after a 10-minute processing time, delivering permanent dye that remains until new hair grows out. Most users can expect the refreshed color to hold for several weeks in the touched-up areas, with longevity depending on hair growth rate and aftercare.

• 10-minute processing for targeted root areas
• Permanent dye that lasts until new growth appears (commonly up to 4 weeks)
• Optimal results when regrowth is under one inch

What makes the application simple and precise at home?

The kit includes a soft precision brush and a built-in applicator tip so you can apply color exactly where it’s needed without mixing bowls. The ready-to-apply design reduces spills and speeds up the routine, making it easier to treat small sections along the hairline and parting.

• Soft brush tip for targeted strokes along the root line
• Pre-filled developer and color gel—no separate mixing required
• Included gloves protect hands and simplify cleanup

Is the formula gentle on hair and how does it affect texture?

The low-ammonia color gel contains a conditioning component to help preserve softness and manageability after coloring. While it’s a permanent formula, the reduced ammonia level helps limit dryness and typically leaves treated hair feeling smoother than traditional high-ammonia dyes.

• Low ammonia for a milder scent and less dryness
• Built-in conditioning agent for smoother-feeling roots
• Suitable for repeat touch-ups as part of a maintenance routine

Will this shade blend with my current color and what else should I use to maintain results?

Shade 5A Medium Ash Brown is formulated to blend naturally with similar salon or box colors, reducing visible lines between treated roots and existing hair. For extended vibrancy, use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to help lock in tone and reduce fading.

• Shade matched to blend with professional and at-home colors
• Works best when matched closely to your current base color
• Compatible with color-protecting systems like Elvive Color Vibrancy

Who is this for: This kit is ideal for people who regularly touch up regrowth and want a fast, easy, and precise at-home solution. It suits first-time root touchers and experienced home colorists who need a focused, mess-minimizing product for hairline, part, and temple coverage between full-color appointments. If you’re seeking a convenient two-count supply in Medium Ash Brown to keep roots discreet and natural-looking, this kit is tailored to that purpose.
