Amazing! bright at first, faded well

published

It was easy to apply, was bright and gorgeous before first wash, about a week later (1/2 washes) it started to fade, but to a beautiful rose gold colour. I wanted a change without the commitment and couldn't be happier with this product!

Purchased in April 2021 for A$5.00.

This is scam... totally waste ...making customers a big fool. ..I wish I can get my money back.

Red colourists...no colour in my hair after an hour...fake product..washed only once after applying. It was useless. I felt like l'oreal is just making us fool by this product. It's not worth it. Yuck..ruined my women's day feelings..

This product is a waste of money

published

My hair is blonde and I used the purple colorista washout, leaving it in for 20 minutes and followed all instructions. It showed no colour at all, waste of my money! Highly recommend not buying this faulty product.

Impossible to get rid of

published

So over 40 washes later (and 50 days), including 2 washes with bicarb which is supposed to remove pretty much ANY non permanent colour, then we had a professional bleach her hair, and we were still left with green strands. Not exactly sure what it's going to take to remove this one. I do know we will never be using this product again.

I've tot dark brown hair, so the red color didn't do much more than give my hair a red hue when light shines on it. Unfortunately, 3 months later, it still looks exactely the same. Red hue didn't even fade

Trash

Didn’t get any color. Only a small shining purple ish color that doesn’t show unless you are very close up to it. I don’t recommend it at all! Don’t use if you don’t have VERY blonde hair!

Waste of $

published

I have dirty blonde hair and watched plenty of you tube tutorials before I dyed my hair. I used pink colorista and had it in my hair for 25 minutes. I washed it out and it washed allllllll the colour out! Waste of 20 dollars - would not recommend or try.

Should be removed from shelves

published

I have tested this twice and the outcome was the same both times.
- the excess spray stains your skin and is really hard to remove. Takes over a day of scrubbing and soaping multiple times to remove
- if you touch the colour in your hair, it will again stain your skin, and transfer to your clothes
- your hair feels so horrible after spraying with this colour. Best way I can describe is like a big messy dry harsh hessian cloth. You can not get your fingers to go through your hair, it’s turns into something gross.

The mess it creates, the staining is insane and to have your hair feel so bad, in my opinion makes this product completely horrible.

I also wrote to brand a week ago and received no reply.

Bloody awful!

published

My daughter bought the colorista washout blue dye, to try some colour for the school holidays. She followed the instructions and left it in for 20 minutes, then washed. The next day her neck, face, hands, shoulders were a ridiculous shade of blue! She was in tears. I assumed she hadn't washed it out well enough, and I washed it, and a rubbed her skin. All good I thought, but No!! It continues to come out of her hair onto her hands and neck after being washed at least 20 times now. I can't even work out how the hell it's still happening. Her hairs a horrible shade of bluey green. And so are her hands and neck. Do not buy it, it's horrendous.

A total waste of money.

published

My daughter's have dark brown hair and I got this product as part of their messy hair day fundraising event at school. Left it in their hair for 40 minutes and it washed out completely. A total waste of money.

Ruined my hair

published

I used the purple colorista on my blonde hair, which was nice at the beginning but after 2/3 washes it turned green. 3 months later, my hair is still green.
I even used the fader shampoo and hasn’t helped at all.
$8 for hair dye but it’s ended up being so much more expensive because I’ve had to spend money on products to get it out, which never end up working.

Don't risk it!

published

The hair dye lasted way more than 2 weeks/15 washes! If you have blonde hair do not risk turning it green - even after bleaching my hair is still slightly green.

Horrible!! Don’t recommend

published

I have never dyed my hair before so I thought why not try putting in temporary colour for some fun. I came to the hairdresser to get a balayage done after 3 months of putting it in my hair and now my hair is pink from the bleach so I have to now dye my hair back to brown and wait for it to grow out and come back in a few months for my balayage. Waste of time!!

Awful stuff

published

I left this blue on damp hair for only 5 minutes. The colour was ok until I washed my hair. Now fluro green. After 15 washes and using your "colour fade " shampoo, it still won't come out. I'm quite annoyed. I will never use your product again.

Rubbish waste of time and money

published

Does not work!

published

The box says it works on brunettes...and it definitely does not! Light brown hair, ended up with absolutely no turquoise colour! Even left it in for an extra ten minutes.

I chose the colour.... but substandard results.

published

My son is on school holidays we wanted to try something fun a 8-10 washout colour seemed harmless and the colour on the box and what was promised based on his dirty blonde hair colour was exciting. The result is completely lacklustre. It said 15-20minutes. We wanted vibrant like the box, a bright blue colour, so we left it the full 20 plus a few minutes extra because we got distracted. It’s a weird off blue grey colour and a lot of the colour didn’t even take to his hair?!? Mostly a faded odd colour. Not worth 10$ on special.... I can get a better result much cheaper... wanted to try a new colour though. Would almost say don’t trust the picture on the box. However it still stained, it’s kind of bluey grey. Wouldn’t recommend.

Terribly disappointed!! Would not recommend at all.

published

I used the indigo Colorista to put some foils in my hair, which has blonde foils. Because the instructions said to leave it in for 10-15 minutes, I went for 10 minutes, and I know I have porous hair. The result was certainly NOT indigo - it was a washed out pale pastel blue. So I was understandably disappointed. But what was worse was that it went green within about 4 days. That was on Good Friday. Despite washing it every second day, using the Fade Out product for over a week, and my hairdresser putting 20vol bleach over the top, the colour has STILL not come out completely. This is EIGHT WEEKS and nearly THIRTY washes. Absolutely ridiculous for something that’s supposed to come out in 5-10 washes. I will NEVER use this product again!

Nothing like the box

published

I was surprised that this product promised such a vibrant result on my brown hair. I should have known that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

I have a subtle gross shade of green in the ends and a few lighter sections of my hair.

I'll be buying another product to hopefully cover this bleh colour.
