I don't want blonde roots!

I've asked how to keep my red hair from fading, and those products definitely help, but I've returned to my old standby for touching up my roots: Schwarzkopf Igora toning mousse in Light Copper Brown (5-7). I've finally mastered the art of applying it evenly without staining my fingers. Only problem is, I'm out of the stuff now, and it appears to have been discontinued. What can I use in its place?

I would prefer that it be something I can apply without a huge production. The mousse was great because I could just comb it through my hair after showering, wait a few minutes, then rinse my hair and be done with it. The color was perfect, too. It blends in easily with the professional coloring.

But I can't find it anywhere offline or online! The Schwarzkopf site lists a foam that sounds like the same thing, but nobody ever has my color in stock. Is there another product that's similar? My stylist simply recommended I come in and have her gloss it for me, but I barely have time for my regular hair appointments as is.

Can your stylist order the foam for you and you can buy it from her? Or if you'd rather do it yourself, is there another beauty supply place (or salon) that could either order it for you or try to find you something to match?

Best answer: I used to use a similar product by Goldwell that I really liked - I believe it's called Colorance Soft Color (http://www.goldwell-northamerica.com/site/products/color/colorance/colorance-soft-color/). I colour my hair a level 8 copper, and used to use 7KG copper blonde back when I got my red professionally done. I use a box colour now, so I just do my own roots with the box, but I really loved that mousse when I used it.

Hope this helps!
