The Color Bug by Kevin Murphy

Hello beauty lovers!
   Today’s review is all about this colour bug madness. It promises a change of color without the actual commitment, it is basically a hair chalk that washes off in the first hair wash after application.

I got mine in the July Goodiebox and I was so excited about trying it with the risk of looking like a teenager. I thought that just for one use it is worth it.
   On the youtube video he says to apply it over a base, at some point he uses dry shampoo and apply the colour bug on top of it, to create a more pastel shade.
I did not want to use it on anything, especially being the first time; I just wanted to see how it behaves on my hair without any other product on it. I have blonde hair and usually any color will easily be picked up.

   It was a good choice I made because… this product made my hair so unbearable, so tangled, so dry, just imagine putting it on top of dry shampoo(which is another powdery and drying product)… what a disappointment.., and what a mess I have made all around me, the sing, the clothes, my skin… I know you are supposed to use a towel underneath but every time I would touch it (and since it was loose it was all the time touching my neck and shoulders) I would pick up color all over me.


 Obviously do not go to bed with chalk in your hair, you will make a mess. I washed it and noticed the color has not 100% disappeared and I did insist, shampoo+rinse+shampoo+rinse+condition.
Apart from the fact that my hair is now a shade of light pink(the camera does not do it justice), it did a number on it as well since it looks more damaged. On the plus side, it gave volume to the hair so there’s that..

Tip! If your hair tolerates it try to use hair spray to fix it. The state my hair was in, if I added hair spray I would have doubled the damage…
Tip! Don’t use it on freshly washed hair, you will have to wash it before going to bed anyway so why cause more dryness to the hair?
Conclusion:It will give you volume since it’s powder but also dryness therefore damage.
I don’t regret using it, I might use it again (if I want to feel like a teenager jk or if I am going somewhere and I want to impress) but I would not purchase it myself.
 Until the next one,
