Considering a Temporary Hair Color? This Product Transformed Me With Very Little Commitment

Before, my hair was bland and boring! Terrible! (Just kidding, my stylist does a great job.)

Here's a good side view for you.

Rather than spraying my hair all at once, I pulled sections of it up, spraying the bottom first and gradually letting more hair down until I was at the crown of my head. Immediately after the spraying was complete, my hair looked and felt like that of a Princess Ariel doll.

There were a few strands that I missed, even after I had my spouse come do a touch-up, but the overall color was vibrant.

Here I am, about to go out and paint the town red! (That was a joke — I watched Catfish: The TV Show and ate a brownie.) After I combed my hair out, I did notice that a bit of the vibrance was gone. The color was still in place, but the shine had dulled. I would recommend spraying your hair, brushing it, stylnding it, a then giving it a final spray before you go out.

Here we are the next day. The color was still there and my pillowcases remained white (my primary area of concern with this test). If you're in the market for a temporary dye, I would absolutely recommend KMS Style Color — with a few caveats.

1. Most of the spray landed on my head, but my bathroom sink was tinged with red. It's tough to get out because once water hits the color, it suddenly transforms into a stain the likes of which Sharpie would be jealous. Soap, hot water, and lots of scrubbing will get it out.
2. If you opt for Real Red, your shower will look like a crime scene. Also, that staining I mentioned? It's 10 times worse in the shower when the color runs down and you step on it, grinding the particles into the floor.
3. While the spray doesn't stain your scalp the way some box dyes do, it will low-key stain your skin when you shampoo it out. I shampooed twice and by the time I exfoliated my skin, my sponge was pink. I got most of it off my arms and legs, but there's a faint triangle of color on my back where I couldn't reach.
