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

I used this spray for a Halloween costume, and it worked perfectly to give me a great Proto Zoa-inspired look! The silver color is vibrant and shows up well, even on darker hair. It’s easy to apply and dries quickly without making a mess. While it does leave hair feeling a bit stiff, that’s expected with temporary sprays, and it’s not overly bothersome. The best part is that it washes out easily with one shampoo, so there’s no long-term commitment. It’s a great option for special occasions or costumes when you want to stand out!

Works fine for touching up dyed silver hair anytime between your regular hair dye jobs, or adding customized streaks or a temporary frosted look. Just remember, this stuff will rub off on fabrics, like pillowcases or collars. Great for an instant quick fix to dull hair.

The first time I used this (red) I used it on all my hair. It was an amazing color, but it got all over everything: my face, my linens, my clothes, my boyfriend, everything. After about a dozen washes, it had faded to a light pink, but it needed a few more washes to come out completely.Since then, I’ve used it only to put streaks of color in my hair. That works better, although it still comes off on my pillowcases.

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.

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.

EDIT: After washing in the shower with shampoo and conditioner I can confirm that not only does it not all come out with one wash, but whatever is leftover *still isn't fully dried and can leave blue marks if you touch it*. And I'm not sure why but it leaves a weird texture on my hair as well.Changing my review from 3/5 to 1/5, completely worthless, if you need dyed hair you're better off grabbing a friend and applying at home. Leaving my original review below.-----------------------------I’ll give it points that the color is very vibrant but that’s mainly it. Can’t speak yet on how easy it is to wash out but can confirm a couple notes:- The dye stains like crazy. It’s thankfully easy to wash on hands and skin but it’s been about an hour since applying it as of writing and the dye on my hair still hasn’t fully dried- The can doesn’t have enough to do full coverage unless you have short hair. I’m still skeptical though on how short you need because my hair is only just above shoulder length and it couldn’t even get half of the surface of my hairI think this is only worth it if you can’t have dyed hair for longer than a day and/or only need a small chunk dyed. Otherwise you’re better off just using actual dye and dealing with the new color for a month or so

We used this to turn my daughter’s hair silver for 100th day of school. She has naturally brown hair. It worked really well and easy application.

I buy the gold, spray it on after a shampoo or for a special occasion. A short spritz does NOT make the head look metallic or gilded - it just adds subtle highlights. Very pretty. It's not an expensive item and is totally worth the price. My hair is dyed medium brunette.
