Coloured Hair Spray

It sure is fun when you can redo your hair colour with several pumps of a spray bottle. All those bright colours packed in convenient applicators make it all so inspiring to try them at least once. So, when a client comes in search of a temporary new hairstyle, a coloured hair spray may be just the thing they need.

And if you are stuck at home with no chance of a timely visit to the hairdresser, the coloured hair spray is just the thing you can use to play with, without causing any harsh damage to your hair.

Do Coloured Hair Sprays Work?

Assuming you mean whether the colour will stick, yes, of course, they do, at least until the next wash. But they won't produce a permanent hair change if you are looking for a colour quality that stays forever.

As there is a variety of coloured hair sprays, some of which are designed only for spritzing a new colour on top of your basic one, as well as those that are used for toning, cleaning, and sculpting hair, you can expect the hair spray to work as much as you have selected the right one.

What kinds of coloured sprays are available for home and salon use?

Tone-enhancing sprays. Used for correcting a faded base colour, for example, blonde.
Temporary hair colour sprays. Vibrant, rich colours in shades like green, blue, violet, and pink.
Dry coloured shampoo sprays. Nuanced dry shampoos to match the base colour without looking like it has white powder on it.

When people talk about a coloured hair spray, most of them think of the second variant. But even these sprays are not all the same. Therefore, when shopping for one, you should know the qualities important for effective spray colouring.

Top Qualities of Good Colouring Sprays

Above all, it is important to shop for a dense spray, so that you don't need to use the full bottle for one hair revamp. Saturated dense sprays also come in small bottles, which is convenient if you want a short-term change and don't need to repeat it.

Next, do the transfer test - check how much of the spray fall off of the hair and blotches clothes. You need the spray on your hair and not on your clothes. Finally, you should be able to wash the spray fairly easy. You shouldn't over-shampoo it to remove all colour.
