If you’re in lockdown, chances are you’re growing a little bored with your current hairdo. It might be the colour that’s looking blah, or you’re in dire need of a cut, but with many weeks of lockdown under our belt, your hair isn’t looking its best (unless you’re a hairdresser and in that case, we’re extremely jealous!).
To put a little pep in your step (and to pass some time in lockdown because let’s be honest, there’s not a lot to do), why not consider trying a semi-permanent hair dye in a fun colour? In shades like fairy floss pink, forest green and cobalt blue, there is something that will suit everyone.
And, don’t worry, these dyes wash out after three to 30 shampoos, depending on how often you wash your hair and how vigorous you are in the washing process. For less than $25, it’s the best and most affordable way to freshen up your locks. Here are a few of our favourite semi-permanent hair dyes.
L'Oreal
L'Oreal Paris Colourista Semi-Permanent Hair Washout — Pink
The L’Oreal Paris Colourista Semi-Permanent Hair Washout — Pink ($13.99) is a conditioning formula that lasts up to three shampoos so you can enjoy a walk on the pink side for a little while. This would work best on light hair colours, so those with blonde hair should jump on this.
Dare
Dare Temporary Hair Colour — Forest Fairy
Dare’s Temporary Hair Colour — Forest Fairy ($21.95) is a semi-permanent formula that includes a strengthening blend of proteins and amino acids to nourish your hair. The deep green shade is perfect for those with blonde to medium brown hair and fades out after five to 30 shampoos.
Schwarzkopf
Schwarzkopf Live Colour Pastels Dusty Lavender
For a pastel-toned head of hair, you can’t go past Schwarzkopf’s Live Colour Pastels Dusty Lavender ($5.49). This product requires no pre-mixing and works in just two minutes, so you’ll be rocking a lavender hue in no time.
Good Dye Young
Good Dye Young Semi-Permanent Hair Colour Lighter Daze Peach Fuzz
The Good Dye Young Semi-Permanent Hair Colour Lighter Daze Peach Fuzz ($24.99) comes in a variety of colours but we can’t get over this peachy shade. This formula combines salon-grade pigments with a non-toxic conditioning formula that deposits vibrant colour.
Brite
Brite Semi Permanent Hair Colour Blue
For a deep brillant blue, Brite’s Semi-Permanent Hair Colour ($10) leaves your hair feeling hydrated while imparting a bright cobalt blue. Your new shade will last for five to 30 washes.
