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.

Erika M from Long Island
This makes my hair knot up so terribly. The color is good and vibrant and it'll even hold your style so I use it on my bangs but if I try to use it else where…knotty knotty mess that is extremely hard to fix. Also the nozzle is a little off so beware..
Colorista Hair Delight 5
Mindi from Michigan
I use the product to highlight and brighten my hair on special occasions.
Great product, wish there was more in the bottle! 4
Jess from Missouri
The color was great, however it applied like a hairspray with a tight nozzle. It was hard to get an even application all over my hair. It lasted all night but it easily transferred so be careful! Overall I would purchase this again.
Love this product 5
Coreenfw from PA
I use the Silver color regularly to 'grey up my hair for a cosplay character. I find it easy to apply, though I recommend putting a towel or something over clothes or skin. I have never had an issue removing it. I find just water and a washcloth works on skin, but soap makes it faster. I wear it all day and wash it out in the evening. I have never had an issue with leftover color. One wash is normally all I need. The silver is not as bright as some of the other colors though… so that might be part of my successes. I do find it does get dry and brittle by the end of the day, and can flake, it is NOT a soft hair color. I apply it and go, doing styling before applying as it is stiff, and not easy to comb once on. I have used it over several years for daily wear 1-2 days in a row, (washing at night and reapplying in the morning). I think it is a fun product and is perfect for my use. It is a little like a 'holding' hairspray and will stiffen your hair a little.
Works but gets everywhere 3
Alyssalee from Houston, TX
I have natural blonde hair and the color showed. Though the process was a lot. It did get everywhere in the bathroom. I suggest apply it in the shower or outside. Use gloves and old hair brush too! I also transferred on clothing the whole night but it did wash out. I probably won't buy this again unless I really need to quickly color my hair. It was hard to style and it looked kinda crunchy.
Messy 1
mhassien from Maryland
I bought this to see what color would look good in my hair. I am a brunette, so I didn't expect much, but the color came out super well! I was super happy with it at first, but the spray does not dry. After 5 hours I still can not touch it without getting my hands all blue, and I can't sit on the couch. The color, though it looks good, is difficult to brush through and sticky-feeling. I saw a review reply on here by L'Oréal, and they said to prevent that, apply multiple light layers, but nowhere on the bottle does it say that. My bathroom is still blue after 2 hours of cleaning. I have yet to see how well this washes out, but based on other reviews, I don't have high hopes. Don't buy this.
Never Using Again! 1
Marie from Peoria AZ
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
Pinkhairproblems from undisclosed
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
Jan11222 from undisclosed
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
Kayyyyy1234 from undisclosed
I used this for a Halloween costume and washed it out that night, it did not come out washed it out the next day did not come out 5 times shampoo and 5 times conditioner. I have a trip with tons of people and I have to do with pink hair. Ugggh. Never Again
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
notyep12 from undisclosed
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.
