Learn from my Failures: Temporary Hair Dye

The other day my friend and I walked into Hot Topic and thought we’d try something different and put some temporary color in our hair. We saw the Color Fiend Comb-in Temporary Hair Dye and thought it was a great idea. Comb it in and it washes out in one wash, lots of different colors, and vegan friendly! Woot! However, if you’re thinking about getting this product, I would suggest using a kindergartener’s paint because it’s pretty much the same thing. The “dye” is a goopy, paint-like liquid that you comb into your hair and don’t rinse out. It gets absolutely everywhere and doesn’t look like dyed hair. It looks exactly like it is: paint. If you don’t wear gloves while using the product, it gets all over your hands and is really hard to wash off. Luckily, it was much easier to wash out of our hair. At the end of the hair-dying extravaganza, we decided it was better to just wash it out right away because it just made our hair look greasy and painted. If you’re going to temporarily dye your hair, spend a few extra dollars and get something that you rinse out and is not paint.
