Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share with you a nifty little creation I've recently stumbled across. Following the recent Dip-dye hair craze, Australian hair stylist Kevin Murphy invented the Colourbug.
The Concept of the Colour bug is basically a wash-out eyeshadow/chalk for your hair. The great thing about the colour bug is it doesn't damage your hair in any way, and when you're bored of it, you can just wash it out! Sounds great, right?
"In the world of session styling I’m always looking for new ways to change the models hair. Wild crazy colour became the new hot thing but you cant just colour a models hair just because you feel like it. I wanted full on colour but without the commitment! I had had my share of moments where I wanted crazy colour hair on a Friday, but come Monday morning I didn’t want my crazy colour anymore. I want to be able to put it on and just as easily take it off. I thought to myself why cant hair colour be just as easy as applying make-up? I had been experimenting with pigments since the 80’s obsessed with the powdered wigs of the French Revolution. The influence came from those times but I wanted it to be intense and almost fluro as it is the intense flash of colour that makes it modern. COLOR.BUG is wipe on, wipe off colour! It’s just for fun and just for the one night. With a towel draped around your shoulders to protect your clothes, I would apply a hair product and then the COLOR.BUG to make it stick. The COLOR.BUG adds body to hair, you can keep this raw texture or add a fine mist of hairspray to lock on the colour.
Avaliable in Pink, Purple and Orange."

I really want to try one of these for Summer - I've always wanted to dip-dye my hair, but was really hesitant about dying it as it's already really damaged! The only problem is, I'm really torn between the pink and purple! I'd love for them to bring out one in blue in the future, too!
Do you like the dip-dye look? Will you be trying these out?

These seem like a great idea in theory but like hair chalking I'd be worried it would just rub off on my clothes! I'd have to read a few reviews before trying it myself. Would be brilliant if it worked though! Also, as for dyeing your hair, as long as it's light enough you wouldn't need to bleach it and you can get completely non damaging wash in colours - I used pink in the summer when I was blonde and I loved it. xoxo
ReplyDeletethis seems like such a good idea, and i love that picture. it'll be interesting to see if it comes off on things etc, and if it works on darker hairs.. but its a nifty idea! x
ReplyDeleteThe picture looks fab but I agree with Grace I can imagine it getting all over your clothes (not a great look an a night out) but I do like the concept!

I'm already ombre but really want to try different colours like these! They're fab x
ReplyDeleteI posted on this back in March . It is so cool ! Bit expensive though and needs a wider colour range . I personally prefer crushing sticks of chalk and rubbing the dust on to my tips , cheap alternative . Lavender lilac is my fave colour to use .
