Review: Pretty in pink


For some time, I've been toying with the idea of dip-dyeing my hair - I'm sure you're sick of reading about it.  You'll be pleased to know back in December, I did end up getting subtle balayage in my hair for summer. I also purchased Kevin Murphy's Color Bug which is a wipe-on colour hair product of a chalky powder texture which looks pretty damn good when applied to my now lighter ends. Available in pink, purple and orange, it buildable colour with the commitment, the cost and any damage to your locks. One wash and the colour is gone.

While the dome-shaped packaging is difficult to grip onto, I dropped mine the first time I used it, thankfully, not all the powder shattered on the floor but enough to turn a section of my floor hot pink. Since that almost heart breaking experience, I hadn't touched my Color Bug in some time (I forgot to pack it when I went overseas), so on Sunday, I decided I would take it out to play. 

After about 10 minutes of wiping on the colour and  hair spraying it so it would set, viola, I was greeted with pink hair.  I even snapped a pic for you - much later in the afternoon so it's slightly faded but you get the idea.  Perhaps next time, I'll build on the colour even more.  Wondering if you could pull it off?  Judging by the positive comments I received from my friends, I say you can, and they were so glowing that I'm even considering doing it permanently (once again).
