I first want to start by saying I have light brown hair and I knew going into this I wasn't going to be looking like what was on the box. Which was Head Turner Cotton Candy, but I did expect to see something.
The box and the packaging makes it appealing for sure but the bottle itself is a spray and while using this the first time (I tried two different methods, more on that later), all over my head. It gets everywhere if your trying to do this on yourself. I would definitely get someone to help you. Just trying to spray every part of your head and if you have smaller hands, trying to spray the bottle can be a bit tricky.
Side note: The gloves that come with it. Yes, I know they are suppose to be one size fist all but these were huge and made it even more difficult. I ended up using a spare pair of gloves that I had tucked away.
As for the smell. I didn't mind it at "first". It had a nice floral'ish scent which like I said, it didn't bother me at the time I was spraying, but if your sensitive to scents this lingers and it did give me a headache afterwards. So heads up on that one.
Next comes the instructions. I'm sorry but they are all over the place. On one side of the box it says you can use on dry or damp hair. Ok. Fine.
So my first attempt was on damp hair. On the instruction sheet that comes inside the box it tells you to first use on shampooed & conditioned hair?? If any one out there has ever dyed their hair, you will know that usually the rule is not to shampoo or condition your hair right before you dye it. You're suppose to wait a day or two after washing, so this seemed stranger to me. So what I did, I used very little conditioner, because my hair usually ends up in a tangled mess (which surprisingly this product didn't do) towel dried my hair, combed it out, waited a bit then went spray crazy. Combed it through my hair and blowed dried it...
My middle hair part was more pink than anything. Again, keep in mind my hair is light brown/dark blond and I wasn't expected to come out looking like the box unless I bleached my hair.
First attempt on Damp Hair. Just don't bother (see pic).
So for the second attempt, I waited a few days and decided to do this my way instead of "following the instructions" on dry two day old hair. I say "my way" because it does say you can use on dry or damp hair on the outside of the box, but on the inside it doesn't say anything about using it on dry hair, just damp... And on the other side of the box it say's to "thoroughly rinse hair after application" ??? Huh? This is a leave in spray...
So what I did, I divided my hair into two pig tails (I have long hair) and focused on the ends because I was going to saturate them, because I wanted to see something.. I then took two sheets of aluminum foil, basically as a shield for the spray, soaked one tail at a time, combed it out, sprayed some more, wrapped that pig tail up in the foil, (repeated other pig tail :p ), and I waited 30-40 mins., with the dye soaking my hair in the foil. Then I dried my hair with a hair dryer. The color took a bit more than it did with the "damp hair" attempt. It's still faint but you can see some pink (see pic.).
Dry Hair:
So if you were able to follow all of what I just wrote. Good job :)
But to summarize: Packing is nice (whoop whoop). Spray bottle not a fan. Instructions are all over the place and I ended up doing my own thing. Color payoff is very minimum unless you want to attempt on bleached/very light blond hair.
The instructions and the spray bottle alone is enough for me to say no to this.
I hope this helps someone out by reading. I did get this product for free
through Chick Advisor #gotitfree in exchange for this review. Thank you.
