I still believe in spray in color as it comes out in 2 minutes in the shower

I have two ways that I get my hair coloring supplies

Recently I've been bleaching my hair before regionals (that way the colors are more vibrant)

Then If I'm announcing I buy a plethora of colors, but if I'm with my team I only need one.

The best brand I've found is http://www.jeromerussell.com/528514.html

That is pretty good, but the color selection is somewhat limited.

However, I found this website http://store.hello-gorgeous.net/tehacosp.html

Their selection is better, but I found the color to not be as vibrant.

That's my .02 for color, now I just need to find something that will keep my hair in place all day, normally it starts to flatten out by days end.

I have been trying the Jerome Russell products also. The team colors and punky work well with a white base applied first. There are some others but I find that the white base is essential for vibrant colors.

For styling I use ICE products. I start with the Spiker Gel and after all color applied I use the Spray Adhesive. When dry a torado won't knock it down. Link is http://www.joico.com/product/detail.php?CatID=6



Note: Why does it seem that is mostly guys talking about these beauty products and how did we come to know so much???????:confused:

Beware of "semi-permanent" hair colouring products. The last time I dyed my hair with one of those, it was still very obviously coloured (only barely faded) a month later. It required a haircut to return my hair colour to its normal shade. I strongly recommend going with Steve's spray colour suggestion.

Thanks for the advice against semi-permanent hair dye, spray hair color it is.

Have you 2 ever tried the "Tiger Orange"? I would expect this to be bright Orange.
I got one of those, and it looked pink. :mad:
Very annoying, and I couldn't return it since we decided to just use it since we opened it at the regional.

Did you use a base coat of another color or straight on your hair? All of my orange colors have been bright orange. Now the reds have seemed like a dark fluorescent pink but hey, close enough.

No, I mean like the color of the spray was Pink! I sprayed it on a white piece of paper just to be sure the color wasn't being chaged just because of something else that was in my hair, and sure enough it was Pink but labeled Orange! I think I still have the bottle, I should take a pic of the front showing the Pink color on the white nozzle.

I think they labeled it wrong or something. :(

Wrong labels or in my case wrong caps happen. I bought green and when I went to use it I found it to be multi colored sparkles.
