I decided to go for it and try out Colour Xtreme Hair Art - Pink UV Glow spray from the
Colour Xtreme range, which you can read more about
here and see the results
here.
I'm not gonna lie - I was a little bit scared, because I had to go out whether I liked the results or not.
But I'm happy (and relieved) to report that everything went perfectly.
TUTORIAL:
Shake really before use - until you hear the ball bearing rattle.
I didn't shake the can properly at first and nothing was coming out!
Spray in short bursts from about 16cm onto the area you want to colour.
More detailed (and stronger) results can be achieved by holding the can closer to your hair.
Pull out single pieces oh hair to create streaks, or spray onto the ends for a dip dye look. You can also lightly spray all over hair for a tint.
Cover clothing to protect from overspray and avoid spraying on furnishings as staining may occur.
As you can see below, I've dyed my body and top during the process, but the stains were easily removed with warm water and a little bit of soap.
Once colour is dry, brush through with a soft bristled brush.
If it is a hard bristle brush, it will simply remove the dye, so it's better to use it before washing.

| I was brave enough to add even more colour! |
- Everything washes out with shampoo and warm water. I first tried to wash it with warm water only and the vast majority was already removed from my hair - I am very impressed!
- Avoid wearing white clothes - the dried spray will come off and rub on them - I do have stains on my tops, but I am confident they'll be removed after washing.
- Take care when using on bleached or chemically damaged hair. Do not use on wet hair.
Personally, I think it is Xtremely easy and fast method to achieve coloured hair without any hassle. You can create completely different look within minutes without any commitment and hair damage. The spray option is probably less stronger/pigmented than the gel one, so I am eager to try gel pretty soon.
Oh, and even though the can is small and my hair pretty long (as you can see) I've still managed to leave at least 1/3 of can, so it's going to be perfect for the single streaks. And it this colour has UV Glow - so perfect for a night out! (Just remember to be careful and think of
Ross' teeth when applying - I just couldn't resist!)
