L'Oreal ParisColorista 1-Day Washable Temporary Hair Color Spray, Hot Pink, 2 Ounces

I used this for crazy hair day on my son. Great color coverage on red hair. It left his hair feeling like it was loaded with hairspray, but that helped shape it into a crazy style. It took 2 good scrubbing hair washes to come out on the same day. Did not stain his skinIt didn't rub off on his clothes throughout the school day, but I made sure he wore a zip up hoodie so he wouldn't be pulling a hoodie over his newly blue hair.

Absolutely love this spray I use it when I highlight my hair and it's too brassy so I can spray it just where I want don't have to worry about doing a toner which seems to dry out my hair this spray does not and it washes out wonderfully wouldn't be without it

I'm currently re-growing my hair after chemotherapy, and can't color it yet. My hairdresser recommended this for OCCASIONAL use of this color in the meantime. It looks really good! But it's VERY drying, so I only use it for special occasions.

A*Thanks!

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.

I bought this because I needed an inexpensive way to determine if my director liked the color for an upcoming stage production. For reference, I have very short-kept salt and pepper hair, much more pepper with salty streaks.Positive points, this was pretty cheap. The final color was vibrant even over my dark hair and demonstrated the effect well. Also, it really did wash out of my hair immediately. That's as far as the positives go.Unfortunately, the negatives render the spray impractical for use. For starters, the nozzle is hyper-acute. It's impossible to get any kind of broad, even application on my hair. Instead I was left with sporadic blots of concentrated color that wouldn't blend. This leads to the second problem: it won't blend because it absolutely fried my hair. It became too brittle to get a comb through- essentially I couldn't touch my hair once the spray was in it. Moving on to the next problem, it comes off on EVERYTHING. I couldn't touch any of my costumes or props because any minor contact would result in the color rubbing off on all of it. I also couldn't interact with the furniture or let my head touch anything on set.Finally, I was left with what appeared to be burns on my hands by the end of the experience. I did use it in conjunction with other hair products, but I'd used them before with regularity and never had this reaction. I don't know what is in this spray but it left the skin on my hands looking sunburned and stinging under water after washing. A decent application of Corn Huskers lotion followed by a good coating of coconut oil kept it from blistering and it looks better today (the day after) but it still burns under warm water.Overall it accomplished the goal of confirming the color as a choice, but I will go with a better, gentler product for the actual show because this was a disaster from start to finish.

My favorite temporary spray. Such a beautiful color

Bought for my kindergartener's 100th day of school (dress up like you're 100). Went on smoothly, blended nicely with her light brown hair, wasn't stiff or hairspray-like at all. Look very good and natural.
