WHAT IT DOES: Simply spray on your color of choice and sport it all-day long. Once you’re ready for a new look, rinse and shampoo your hair and the color will quickly wash away.

LOVED FOR: Depositing rich, natural-looking color while nourishing and softening the hair in the process

USERS SAID: “When applied to my damp hair, it’s a light wash of color that shows up mostly in the highlighted areas only. If I apply it to dry hair, the color is much more intense and longer-lasting. I also let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.”
