These Temporary Hair Colors Are Actually Really Good, You Guys

No-commitment color that slays
Want to boost your natural hair color? Apply this easy-to-use color to clean, towel-dried hair. (Bonus, there's no need to rinse afterward.) The mousse formula deposits temporary dye that corrects the tone, boost vibrancy and has a UV filter to protect hair from damage and fading. Select between blond/highlights and darker tones.

This rose gold temporary hair color is as chic as the package it comes in. Celebrity hairstylist Kristin Ess developed this first-of-its-kind in-shower product for a quick color refresh. The intensity can be dialed up or down depending on whether it's sprayed on wet or damp hair. The pinky gold finish is most evident on highlighted, blond or lightened hair. The results can last from one to three shampoos.

This liquid hair chalk reminds us of when we used to color our hair with markers. The key difference is that the chalk pen is actually specially designed for your hair. And unlike traditional hair chalks, there's no messy application or crumbly mess: Just run the pen's nib down hair, et voilà. The color is pigmented enough that it will show up on locks from blond to brown. (Yeah, we see you, brunettes.)

Lime Crime makes more than rainbow lipsticks: The brand also has a range of rainbow unicorn hair colors, like these quick-to-use mists. Spray the temporary hair color all over or use it on sections to create highlights or an ombre look. Another thing we love? The vegan product is suitable for all hair colors.
