I don’t currently color my hair, so I gave my sister Avon’s Advance Techniques Lock-In Treatment and Grey Root Touch-Up to test out for me.  The results?  One was awesome - the other, not so much.

The Lock-In Treatment is a silicone based product aimed at maintaining your color while keeping hair soft and strong.  My sister loved this product.  She said it has made her hair super soft and didn’t leave a greasy film on her hair or hands like some other silicone serums do.

The Grey Root Touch-Up is a mascara-like wand that comes in colors for light brown, brunette and black hair.  You brush it on areas where your roots are starting to show, to cover them up between colorings.   My sister said, “I didn’t like it.  I can see were it would be great for short hair, but it just left my hair a bit matted and greasy along my root line.  But the color was nice and didn’t brush out, but washed out when I showered.”

Have you tried either of these products on your colored hair?  What’d you think?
