Kevin Murphy Color Bug Review

We can't stop thinking about candy coloured hair, ever since we blogged about Bleach in Dalston (which can now also be found in Topshop Oxford Circus), we've dreamed of hair every colour of the rainbow.  However we have never been quite ready for the full commitment that comes with it, so when we got a Kevin Murphy Color Bug in our Christmas stocking (after we figured out what it was) we couldn't wait to try it out.  What on this earth is a colour bug we hear you cry?
It's compressed coloured powder that you rub on your hair to transform your hair either pink, purple or orange, that you can then wash straight out.  The Australian hairdresser discovered the idea after a trip to India, where to temporarily change your hair colour you rub on coloured powders to dry hair.....we can't believe we didn't think of it before either.  

After giving the Colour Bug a try we think it is a brilliant idea, whether it's for a night out or you just fancy pastel coloured hair.  Even if your hair is brunette it still shows up, as the colour sits on top of the hair, however the lighter your hair the more vibrant the colour.  After a day or twos wear it faded out to a pastel pink, and on light bleached hair it left a pink-ish sheen after washing, however we quite like that look so didn't mind.  On the instructions, which we rescued from the bin, it does recommend that people with pale hair treat their hair with leave in conditioner as the colour may grab.  We found a video on YouTube of Kevin applying it to a model's hair and here is our before and after images.  Kevin Murphy Colour Bugs can be found online, here.

What do you think to the Color Bug - have you tried it yet?
