I’ve been wanting to throw some colour onto my hair for ages. Pink and/or purple mainly. KM's Colour Bugs have always been in the back of my mind, but hearing about the shitty colour payoff for brunettes always ends up putting me off.
Regardless, when I spotted this in Priceline a few weeks ago, I bought it. I got excited. It was like $8. Even it was shit, it wouldn’t be too sad a loss. So here we are.
Here is my adventure.
1. Preparing for the event. Put shitty shirt on and take chunk of hair out so all is ready ready. Make silly face.
2. Start spraying the ends. Am perplexed as to why the colour is balling up. Try spraying from different distances. Still fail. Inspect awesome fluoro pink dye on my hand. WHY ISN’T THIS WORKING.
3. Get aggravated and put hair up. Spray aggressively at my head. Note the colour is still balling up and I now have a stained scalp. Feel incredibly attractive.
4. Wait for stuff to dry and let hair down. Hair feels crunchy and gross. Colour is not at all what I expected. Dyed scalp still sexy.
5. Notice spot of pink on the floor. Give up and decide that spray-on hair colour is best left to primary school sports carnivals.
This stuff sucks. The colour of the dye is awesome, but it just didn’t work for me. Plus, the balling thing is weird/annoying/shit. As are the fugly, crunchy strands I ended up with.
I’m going to give this another whirl when I’m exxxtra calm/patient and see how I’ll go. If it fails again, it’s trash city, bitch.
Where do I start, lol gold my love. Laughed my ass off. I did similar with the girls for school carnival. Cant remember the brand (not the one you used) but it was pretty good, they have fair hair though. They did have red scalps for over a week.
ReplyDeletehaha Thanks darlin'! xx
DeleteTrash city, bitch, trash trash city bitch.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you walk around with balled up fluoro dye on your head! What a shitty formulation, that sucks :(
lol <333
DeleteDo try the color bugs next! I promise they are the best way for brunettes to use bright colours. This spray looks like something you get in a showbag at the Easter Show lol.
ReplyDeletelol My nine year old self took over.
DeleteBooo that would have been so great if it worked. I have really dark hair so I've never bothered even trying a product like this!
ReplyDeleteUs brunettes always get the short end of the stick. :(
DeleteYou remember Sun-In? I used that a lot as a teen and it was truly dreadful stuff. It blonded you until you were borderline green, and you couldn't stop it because you'd need to keep dying your roots. total crap. I didn't dye my hair for years after that, believing all hair dyes were similar.
ReplyDeleteBless you, Loreal, for proving me wrong.
HOLY SHIT I LOVED SUN IN! I used it back when I was 14-16 when mum wouldn't let me dye my hair.
DeleteI've heard about the awesomeness of Manic Panic! I wish I wasn't so unskilled in the hair dept. :/
Also I'm totes going to give one of the Manic Panics a shot at some point.
