Questions and answers

Which is better for covering gray roots only?
Magic Root Rescue. It is built for roots, covers gray in 10 minutes, and costs less.
Which lasts longer?
Nice 'N Easy claims up to 8 weeks. Magic Root Rescue lasts several weeks, so the Clairol kit goes longer between applications.
Can I use Magic Root Rescue for all-over color?
No. It is a root touch-up kit with one application per tube. Use a full kit like Nice 'N Easy for all-over color.
Is the L'Oreal kit worth the savings?
If you only need roots, yes. At $5.69 versus $9.49 on November 3, 2026, it costs less and takes 10 minutes.
Does Magic Root Rescue match my salon color?
L'Oreal says it matches any shade, even salon colors. Pick the closest of its 18 shades to your current color.
Which has more shade choice?
Nice 'N Easy, with 44 shades against 18 for Magic Root Rescue.
