Their color stick is meant to be used 'tween time' as they advertise. This means, the intention of this product is only to take care of covering up roots for a short time and you reapply until its a safe time to do an entire hair coloring with dye again. Some peoples hair grows out faster than others and it is too soon to recolor the hair without frying it or harming in some way.
If I were you, I'd look for a phone number for Roux and call them to confirm this, that its meant only as a temporary cover up and thats why it doesnt last. Even if it worked better in the past, its still likely not made to last long.
Another thing you could do is walk into a beauty shop and ask the hairdressers there what they know about the product if anything. Not all, but many can have lots of knowledge of the various hair care products out there with their plusses and minuses, and likely have a preferred product line of their own they are familiar with. It cant hurt. I know when I colored my hair when younger and I finally started asking questions over issues, I actually learned something about hair coloring do's and don'ts and why some things work and some don't.
good luck. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
