Most Helpful Positive Review Effective and quick! I bought this to test for a temporary beard coloring. I've agreed to do a purple beard (over my gray) for a relay race, but don't want to keep it forever. I'll be spending 36 hours running different segments in the heat, and wanted something to stay, but not stay forever--and didn't want it all over me. I completely disregarded the guidance on the can for "highlights and hints", instead going for heavy full coverage. I've attached photos--one immediately after applying, one after running 6 miles in the mist and light rain, and one after 3 washes with clarifying shampoo and a 15 minute soak with 3% hydrogen peroxide. My beard dried pretty stiff, but that is likely because I put on a LOT all at once, rather than applying in light layers. It was also quite difficult to remove, again, likely because I went so heavy. It did shed--on everything, but really it wasn't all that bad. Considering how heavy I put it on, the collar of my running jacket only had a light amount of staining despite the rain. A kleenex could rub some off, but it wasn't noticeable to the effect. After the run, a soak with hot water didn't remove a bit--shampoo was required. This stuff is a win for me, no question. Now I just need to get the lighter purple to do streaks! One hint: soap and water does pretty good on skin, rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball does better!
Most Helpful Critical Review colorista I purchased the colorista red one day spray, Because it says one day and it washes out, but it actually stained my hair. So if you have light hair watch out. Im not mad because I like red hair. But it was definitely an unexpected reaction.

I bought the red one for a Christmas party but after it was in it took way longer than a few minutes to dry. The dye ended up being messy and getting everywhere so I went to wash it out and it did not wash out completely and now my hair is pink which I don't mind but this is definately not a 1 day product.

I have been using this for over a week. my hair is a dingy gray and I love how I can highlight or just do the front. It makes it shinny and I just love it.
DO NOT RISK IT 1

Do not buy this product. I used it for Halloween and my "one day" red hair has turned into one week + pink hair. I have shampooed my hair approximately 20 times already, and have tried multiple shampoos. The patchy faded pink "highlights" are not budging. Worse, I can no longer see colour running out when I wash my hair, meaning this is not just colour sitting on my of my hair, needed it be washed off. It has dyed my actual hair and I will need to wait for it to fade. Seriously - just buy a wig. You'll save yourself a lot of grief and shampoo.
Will NOT wash out 1

I put the red dye in my hair for my Pippi Longstocking costume and it dried sticky and hard (to be expected for a color spray). It's been 3 washes and it's still in my hair, the color has hardly faded. This is not to be expected for a product labeled as 1 day hair color. I have natural blonde hair (never dyed it or used a spray like this) and it's completely dried out from trying to scrub the dye out to no avail.
Awful Do NOT USE 1

1 Star is being generous 1
Hay from Cookeville, TN
I got this product in green and the pigment is alright but the color isn't worth all the effort you have to put in to get it out of your hair!! The statement that this product comes out in one shampooing is a huge lie!! I have washed my hair 10 times now and still have green in my hair, and not to mention that everything that touches my hair instantly becomes green. It also makes your hair feel stiff and greasy. I also noticed that it never seems to fully dry. The bottle says to give it time to dry, but after hours of wear it was still not completely dry. After a little experimenting, I also learn that the color comes off better when your hair is completely dry. If you don't care about and of this and are just looking for a simple color change, then you've come to the right place. Definitely would not recommend this product to anyone!!
Great Color...if you want to keep it for a bit 2
Amy from Washington
I used the red spray for a costume. The 1 day advertisement made it seem okay to put it on my hair. No harm, no foul...right? Wrong. I am a dirty dishwater blonde with some blonde highlights. The majority of it came out in the shower. I washed my hair three times after rinsing for several minutes.
Should I say that I was expecting a first full wash out on the first try? I had my reservations. Currently my hair has a nice rose gold tint...I knew the risk going in.
Is this (red) truly 1 day? No.
Great for for touch-up, too! 5
Janice777 from Texas, USA
I use the rose gold for instant highlights on my copper red hair, and when the regrowth starts, I use the darker copper to blend in the new greyish roots.
Love the product!
just okay 3
Francine from California
I bought this for my daughters crazy hair day at school, they have bronde hair and it did not show up on them but it did in my dark brown hair.
So bright!! 5
Becky from Waco, TX
This product lives up to the hype. Love it. So bright on my daughters hair and does not leave residue or left over color after washing. Would highly recommend this product for anyone wanting a good temporary color for a night out, Halloween, or just to change things up a bit.
Great root cover 4
HennyD from Fl
I have to recolor my roots about every 2 weeks. This product covers the gray until I can take time to dye it properly. It's basically a colored hair spray, so it's not soft. Since it's only on the scalp, that's not an issue.
one time use 2
red from us
if you have long hair you pretty much get one use out of this little can. it did make my blondish brown hair look pink but the color gets everywhere. i thought this would be a nice cheap option for temporary color but the mess and strong fumes are not worth it.
Very bad product 1
Grandma1212 from Prince Edward Island
I used this product on my granddaughters' hair but everything their hair touched (even hours later) was stained. This product could easily be purchased wit the idea of using it with expensive clothes and by the time you arrived at the function you are attending all your clothes would be stained. Very poor product.
Great color. 5
Irmayse from Round Rock, Texas
Kudos to L'Oréal for coming out with a silver spray. I was at my local supermarket buying my L'Oréal purple shampoo when I came upon this spray. I used the Black root cover but decided to go natural. My hair is Black and White. I have been searching for a dark silver spray but I am satisfied with the Colorista Silver.I sprayed it on the white parts of my hair and it looks so shiny. I love love love this product. If you decide to create a darker silver, it would really help make the transition from Black to Gray much easier.
WORST PRODUCT EVER!! 1
KELCO from KANSAS CITY, MO
THIS IS THE WORST THING ON THE MARKET!
THE COLOR CLOUD GETS ON EVERYTHING IN YOUR BATHROOM. BE PREPAIRED TO CLEAN EVERY INCH OF YOUR BATHROOM AFTER THE CLOUD SETTLES.
IT DRIES LIKE GLUE - IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A BRUCH THRU YOUR HAIR AFTER USING.
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO INHAIL IT WHEN YOU'RE USING IT.... I BLEW PURPLE OUT OF MY NOSE FOR 2 DAYS, AND AFTER BRUSHING MY TEETH, MY SPIT WAS PURPLE.
I NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE BATHROOM WITH THIS MESS ON MY HAIR, I WASHED IT IMMEDIATLY, AND COLOR RESIDUE STAYED ON MY HAIR FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS.
Terrible 1

It won't come out of my hair! My hair is damaged because of this. PLEASE don't buy this!!!
I hope you like the color because you're stuck with it. 1
Rachael from EHT, NJ
Initially I thought this was great for a costume. It looked really nice. But it quickly became an absolute nightmare. It claims to wash out with one shampoo, but I'm up to a dozen over the course of two days and my hair is still staining everything it touches including every surface in my bathroom, my sheets, the inside of my shoes (cuz the bathroom floor is stained), my clothes, everything. And of course it doesn't just wipe off. No I'm currently in search of heavier duty cleaning supplies so I don't continue to transfer magenta onto every surface in my house.
Terrible 1
Monica from Texas
Gets everywhere except for your hair. Makes your hair very dry and difficult to brush. Any time you run your hands or a brush through your hair the color comes off
Nice color 5
Fizz from Oregon
While this spray does leave my hair feeling a little dry after use I do love the soft steel color. I would like to try some of the other colors but so far I've been a bit of a chicken.
Terrible product 1
DAMama from Wisconsin
The only pro I can find is that the color is relatively vibrant on medium brown hair. However, it was an absolute mess to apply. I would recommend using this product outside because the cloud of color that forms in the air has to settle somewhere-and it certainly wasn't easy to scrub off the bathtub! It also rubs off on anything it touches…my daughter was pink from head to toe by the end of the day. I couldn't get it out of her shirt, still hoping to find a way to get it out of the sofa:( It also leaves the hair feeling super gnarly, and it tangles far more easily than clean hair. I would never use this product again.
Truly, Halloween hair spray color. 1
Usamel from Florida
Just Halloween spray really. Takes a few scubs to get off scalp so be ready for a few days of odd parts in hair. Save your money and but a pigment depositing conditioner.
I tried the one day color on my hair 1
Catsullistar22 from New Jersey
It didn't come out in one shampooing and i am unhappy with the results and it's stains really badly
So I will not be purchasing it again ever

Product buildup 3

I tried the purple on my daughter's hair, and it took 5 washes with clarifying shampoo and even resorting to dawn before her hair was back to normal. Left a greasy residue. It still isn't back to 100%.
Good product 3
Julie from Memphis, TN
The instructions say it will come out in one shampoo. After 6+ shampoos (in one shower), there are still faint red tints in the hair!
