L'Oreal Paris Colorista 1-Day Washable Temporary Hair Color Spray, Purple, 2 Ounces

I'm a senior who wanted a subtle purple. I still have mostly dark brown hair but gray at the temples. This is very a true purple. I didn't want a bright lavender or reddish purple. Have to practice a bit. The sprayer end is narrower than a straw but spray comes out wider. You can still hold up the strand and only apply to the area you want. At first I couldn't see the purple when it was wet so I sprayed too much. Then I realized to let the first spray dry to see if you need to apply a second spray. 1 spray coat did it for me. It also covered the few gray hairs at the temple! It easily rolls off hands but I only got it on my hands because I was touching the wet areas. Use a towel to cover clothes like the instructions say. I held up the strand and no spray got on my scalp.

The color is rich and I wish I’d bought more. My hair is thick and to get good color at the ends, I could have used 4 or 5. I had to get a rush delivery from Walmart of some other brand because I was hosting a Halloween party and didn’t have time to look for this brand in stores. The other brand didn’t have as rich color, and it wet my curls and look tangled. I stopped using it after a few sprays it looked so bad. This brand kept my curls in tact and they looked bouncy all night. Also, like other reviews, when i touched it, I had purple hands all night. I woke up to having it all over my neck. It got everywhere when spraying. I mean the walls, sink, floor, all over my counter, EVERYWHERE. I used a towel around my shoulders and that’s the only part of me that was clean. It did fry my hair when I washed it out. I used Dawn that someone else suggested and that worked great to take out the color but don’t try to brush it after. My hair is a knotted mess today. BUT, in the end, this part of my Halloween hair looked great and I would use again with these pointers in mind. Edit: after I washed the towel it was still purple.

Great product! Just be prepared for a lot of the color to wear off onto your hands and clothes throughout the day. Purchased 2 cans to cover my dark hair. Didn’t leave my hair “stiff” like other washable color sprays do. Highly recommend!! :)

Honesty this product works incredibly well. We took our daughter to see the Kpop Demon Hunters movie and dressed her up like one of the main characters who has a purple braid. My daughter has dark brown hair and the purple covered her hair really well. It DOES come off when you touch it so we had to be careful not to sit back in chairs etc but it’s literally hair chalk in a can so that’s to be expected! Overall it did a great job it was vibrant came out super easy with a double scrub in the shower and didn’t stain anything because you can wipe it right off with water and soap.

The short review for this product is this: it's easy to use and the color is great, but the color rubs off onto anything it touches while it's in your hair and it's difficult to wash out of your hair (it washes out of clothes and towels without a problem). Read on for details. The product was easy to use -- just spray it on. The can shows that the color will be easier to see on light colored hair - my hair is medium-to-dark brown, and the color was exactly what I expected. I got the hot pink color and it was obvious that I had color in my hair, but it wasn't as vivid as it would be if I was blond. I'm not unhappy with that, though. There are pictures on the can, so I knew what to expect. I sprayed the last 2-3 sprays of color on my mom's hair, which is a nice silvery white, and it showed up great on her hair. So, I give it 5 Stars for ease of use, informing about the brightness of color, and for the color itself. As far as that goes, it's a great product and I'd recommend it. The reasons for 1 star (which averaged to the 3-star score I ended up giving it): 1. The color gets on everything! It rubbed off on the t-shirt I was wearing, then on my underclothing, so I waited until the absolute last minute to put on my shirt (which was white). On the way to the event, I draped a towel around my shoulders between my hair and my shirt to reduce how much got on my shirt, but I also draped a towel over the car seat so the seat wouldn't end up pink. I kept expecting the color to "dry" and stop transferring to everything it touched, but it never did. 2. Bonus Points -- it washed out of everything beautifully. You can't tell that the clothes I was wearing ever had pink hair color on them. I washed them as I normally do and added a bit of Oxy to the load and they came out looking great. 3. The color took FOREVER to get out of my hair. It is advertised as coming out in 1-2 washes, but that was not the case for me. In the course of about three showers, I washed my hair at least 2-3 times in each one, using my regular shampoo. The color became not-so-obvious, but my hair was still sticky and difficult to brush. It wasn't sticky like it would stick to the wall, more like it had post-it note glue all over the ends. I would pull it over one shoulder to brush it, but in moving it to behind my shoulders, it would get tangled and have to be re-brushed. (If you've ever seen The Princess Bride, it felt like my hair was going to break my brush like it did when the hair guy brushed Mia's hair.) I had only wanted it on the lower portion of my hair, so I covered the top of my head with a towel, and I'm very glad I did that because I can't imagine trying to brush hair that sticky from top to bottom. 4. It also caused my hair to come out in strange clumps. Let me be clear: this product DID NOT cause my hair to fall out. It's more like my hair fell out normally, the way hair does every day, but because it was sticky, it stayed on my head longer than it should have, so I'd get clumps on my brush instead of the long strands I usually get. Or a strand would slip down and tickle my arm, so I'd go to pull that one out and get 5-6 strands. Again, the product did not cause any hair loss at all - it caused the already loose hairs to stick to the other hairs so they came out in odd ways. I finally got the sticky out by washing my hair with Dawn dish soap. This is after washing it six or more times with shampoo. So, nearly two weeks after I put it on and those many shampoos later, I took the advice of a hairdresser friend and used Dawn. The first time I did, the suds were a vivid pink, like a Valentine's conversation heart. I was amazed! I'd already washed my hair so many times, how could there be that much color left? I washed it with Dawn three more times, and there was only the barest hint of pink in the suds. Then, because I know the dish soap probably stripped my hair, I washed it with a moisturizing shampoo and applied a moisturizing conditioner separately. I usually use a 2-in-1 shampoo, but thought that my hair probably needed more conditioner than that would provide. I am happy to report that my hair feels normal, totally sticky-free, and it brushed beautifully, so I consider it to be back to normal. I do not regret using this product. The color was great and provided exactly what I needed and wanted for the event. But if I need to add color to my hair again, I will probably look into extensions or a ponytail addition or something that doesn't get my hair so sticky and rub off on everything it touches.

Here's a tip to keep it in for more than a day---use a strong hold hair spray over it after it dries, like Chi Helmet Head hair spray. Keeps it from rubbing off. I've tried other silver stuff, even powders, and the spray works very well. But I just got my L'Oreal silver spray and will use it tomorrow on my very long hair which is turning silver. Stay tuned!

This is a very good product, offering good coverage and colour even on verry dark hair. To use, wash and style your hair as you want it, then use this spray to finish your look and add colour to your hair. Cover your shoulders with a large towel and apply the spray from about 15 cm ( 6-7 in.) from your hair. It's good to have someone help do the back of your head if you want. It dries fast, holds the colour perfectly, and is non-transferring if you brush against clothing, etc. When you shampoo your hair to remove it, you will notice that the spray is pretty tenacious and doesn't want to release very easily. Simply start your shower or shampoo with conditioner First, rinse that out, shampoo, rinse, condition, rinse and repeat until the water runs clear. I found this is the easiest way to remove it efficiently so your hair is nice and clean and no sticky residue is left behind. An excellent product that works amazingly well. I'm very pleased with my purchase

This spray is great. Beautiful colour over blonde hair. Sprays on soft and manageable. You can brush and curl it. Washes completely out. No staining on hair. I seen the really negative comment, looks like a bad hair day for that person. I've had spray product that turned hair crispy and plain old bad. This product did not do this. I received many compliments. It is worth the money to try, I'm pretty sure you'll love it too!

Buenísimo.

I liked this product and it works very well. I give 4 stars as it stays longer on my hair than promised. It took me more than 5 washes with shampoo to remove the color from my blond hair.

Great product. Goes on easy. Temporary colour Awareness Pastel pink This colour may have been discontinued
