3 Reasons Why You Should Consider Temporary Hair Dye

When it comes to hair, change can be beneficial. But change doesn’t have to last forever. One of the biggest hair trends right now is temporary hair dye. It’s a great way to change up your hair a little without having to commit to anything major (or long-term). You can also use these types of dyes to try a new color at home instead of going to a salon.

But is temporary hair dye right for you? Here’s what you need to know.

It’s ideal for commitment phobias

Want to avoid altering your hair long term, but looking to do something a little different? You may want to consider trying temporary hair dye. “The great thing about temporary hair dyes is that they won’t damage your hair or change its integrity. They require extremely low commitment and wash out with shampoo,” says Karina Lutzy, vice president of innovation and marketing for dpHUE.

There are many different types of products in the temporary hair dye category, all of which serve a slightly different purpose, including sprays, chalks, sticks, pencils, mascaras, gels and powders.

Want to cover grays? Hop on the Temporary Hair Dye Train

Gray hair can be frustrating for some, even if you only have a few strands. A temporary dye can provide a quick and easy solution if you prefer to cover your gray hair. “DpHUE offers the Color Touch Up Spray, which is an aerosol spray that helps cover grays,” says Lutzy. “Our sprayer features a dual actuator that allows for a wider spray pattern to cover larger areas and a directional option that targets smaller areas.”

You can also try a powder, like Wow! Root concealment. Easy to apply on the go, you can store this product in your makeup bag and apply it in the same way as eyeshadow.

Not sure if pink hair is the right choice? Temporary dye is for you

Have you thought about trying bright colors like pink or purple, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge? You may want to try a temporary product, such as Hally Shade Stix, which can create fun day-long highlights. This product is also formulated without chemicals like ammonia or sulfates, so it won’t damage your hair.

A temporary dye like Hally’s Color Cloud is more like a traditional dye but washes out with shampoo. This easy-to-apply foaming stain lasts four to six weeks. Like Shade Stix, it won’t damage your hair.

But temporary hair dye isn’t for everyone

Keep in mind that not all hair types are suitable for this type of product, Lutzy says. “Although dyes are temporary, if you have very porous or damaged hair, dyes may stay in place for a few shampoos. Keep this in mind before applying these super vibrant colors! »

If your hair is not in the best condition and you really want to make a change, prevention is better than cure: make an appointment and have your hair dyed by a professional at a salon.
