Touch up those roots! Review: HBC’s Hair Color Touch-ups (P100+)

Coloring your hair can be fun and for some, it’s a necessity. However, maintenance can be expensive. My mom, for example has to have her hair colored at the salon every month or so and have the roots retouched every three weeks.

Luckily, I found a quick fix and alternative to dying her roots. This stopped her from fretting everytime she has that important meeting and she doesn’t want her gray roots sticking out.

I was browsing products at one of HBC’s stores and I discovered their exclusive and affordable Hair Color Touch-Ups. It’s a temporary fix (washes off) but at least her retouches are quicker and didn’t involve real hair color (yep, she mixes a portion of hair dye everytime she covers up those roots).

It costs P100+ but I bought a tube of medium brown Touch-Ups during a sale so it was around ninety pesos only. It works like a mascara (looks exactly like one and perhaps has similar ingredients) and smells like the usual salon chemicals. However, when you apply it, the smell doesn’t stick to your hair and it lasts the whole day.

This is a must for all you hair color lovers out there!

P.S. I’m not sure if there are other brands offering the same product here in the Philippines. Do you know any? I did check online shops and they cost three or more times than the Hortaleza Professional brand.

P.P.S. I’ve read once in a magazine that you can actually use a mascara for those emergency touch-ups.

P.P.P.S. I’ve been meaning to write an article about HBC. Their products are one of the best affordable alternatives out there! I’ll do more reviews of their products soon. J By the way, this review was not commissioned or paid for (just like all our other reviews of local brands).
