L'Oreal Paris Colorista 1 Day Spray Review

My son wanted blue hair for a crazy hair day at school. We picked up this spray to give it a go. He is a ginga ninja.

It worked quite well at colouring his hair but the feel of it was quite odd. It made his hair stick together in a gunky kind of wet chalk feel. When we tried to brush it through to get rid of that, but it lost A LOT of the colour on the brush, any time he touched his hair he had blue shimmer on him.By the time he got home the edges of his skin were the bluey shimmer as well. He only has short hair and we used an entire can. . He decided to wash it out that night, only it didn't come out properly, he had a slightly greeny blue tinged hair colour for about a week after, he wasn't worried about the colour but just thought it should be mentioned as it is meant to be wash out.

I have bought a can of purple as well that I want to try for myself. I am going to try putting hairspray over the top in the hopes that it will seal it.

I brought this to spray my hair for one day, I got the bright pink shade as I have brunette hair and wanted to make sure it showed up on my hair. It definitely did show up on my hair which was good but the product itself was not great. It made my hair very dry and corse. It also said it was quick drying but for the whole day, it was rubbing off on my neck, hands and clothes. It did wash out of clothes which was good and after a couple times of washing my hair. I will not be repurchasing this spray.

Wasn’t to sure about these as my hair is brown I could it showed up a little in the sun andsomeone had noticed my hair colour was different which was nice.

I found it came off on my hands if I touched my hair which was frustrating.

I think maybe it would be better if I tie my hair up then sprayed it heavily and covered it with hairspray to set it.

I was doing a dress up day this weekend and needed ginger hair. I opted to try out the pretty rose-gold colour spray in the Colorista range. I had read bad reviews on BR about this product, but I was still curious to see for myself just how bad it was.

The spray can gives quite a misty type spray, rather than shooting streaks of colour which end up looking super unflattering. It was easy to brush through the ends of my hair for a delicious (albeit subtle) rose-gold-ombre.

I was extremely disappointed with how little product you get in the can. I only have shoulder length hair, but would easily have needed 3 cans to get full coverage (that would be about $48 of product!!!). Fortunately I was happy enough to settle on just colouring the ends of my hair.

Yes, it did rub off on my skin and clothes, but not as badly as I had expected. I used A LOT of hairspray which definitely helped fix it in place.

On my medium brown hair, the colour was super pretty but definitely didn't show up very boldly. You would need bleached hair to get the full effect as seen in the L'Oreal pictures.

Finally, washing out the product. I shampooed my hair 3 times, and was still getting colour run off on the 3rd shampoo. My hair is brown so any residual colour doesn't show up after washing and drying. I understand that if you have blonde hair you may need to accept some pigment staying in your hair for a few weeks!

I wanted to trial what different colours would look like and was a little disappointed with the amount of product in each can. I have mid-long hair but it's fairly thin so I assumed 1-2 cans would be enough. I had a friend spray it on, as the spray can be quite tricky to get at the back and goes everywhere. With two cans, only about half of my hair was coloured so, especially for people with longer hair, it probably isn't worth the cost.

It may be the texture of my hair, but the colour pretty much disappeared within a matter of hours. For a trial of the colours, I got a basic idea of what shades I liked, but this product wouldn't really be great for even a night out of testing a new shade. However, for something really short-lasting or for children, it would be a fun product to use.

Used this on my niece who has light brown/ dark blonde hair. Extremely messy and didn't show up as much as we hoped it would. Was still a bit of fun for her but wouldn't purchase again

My daughters are obsessed with My Little Pony and wanted rainbow hair. After a bit of a let down with Schwarzkopf pastel colour range, we picked up a can of the bright pink of this and gave it a whirl.

Firstly, it stains and doesn't wash out of clothes. I stupidly thought, oh it washes out of hair, it'll come out of clothes. Wrong. Luckily the brand has some tips on its website to help you remove those stains.

But onwards. The pink is bright! The spray is super easy to use, literally spray it on. It did dry quickly, however it shifted a lot during the day - eg rubbing off on to clothes, hands when you touched it, and onto bedding overnight.

It took more than one wash to get off, despite saying it was one wash and it's out. Not a big drama, but if you're looking at a big night out over the weekend and you have a conservative dress code at work - beware. It ended up lasting about a week (3 washes and multiple swims in both chlorine and salt) before it was all gone.

Overall though, it's just a bit of fun and an easy way to add pops of colour.

I say 'safe' because I have a hairdye allergy (PPD and a couple other chemicals) and so my hair is now growing out in my natural silver-white. This doesn't give me a reaction, but I still use it sparingly.

I've tried both pinks and really want the rose gold.

The paler pink shows up well and washes out readily. The hot pink stained my hair and i had a pink tinge to my hair for about 5 washes afterwards, which I was actually a fan of. In both cases you need to spray quite liberally, and then brush through and respray to avoid hair going stiff with spray.

It transfers like mad, so you have to be careful, and wash it out before you sleep, but the impact in the meantime is amazing and if you're just wanting a day of bright dye for a specific purpose it works well.

I'm looking forward to having my hair grown out enough to use the hot pink to stain the tips :)
