Hair dying is not my thing, as much as I love the idea of changing my hair colour to something funky, I wouldn't go near the chemicals with a 10 foot pole. I did a home dye with mum's help at 16, I tried it once and and that was enough, I'll never forget that smell of ammonia.
As for temporary hair colours and sprays, well I don't even bother... nothing shows up on my jet black hair. So I lived contently for the past decade with my natural hair colour (well, partially content.. I did think about hitting the dye but decided it wasn't worth the health of my hair).
That was until I got these babies in the mail... maybe I can finally enjoy the thrill of having funky hair colour without sacrificing the wellbeing of my hair and scalp!

My Verdict
Liquid Bottles (Purple and Pink)
- The first time I applied the One Day Colour, it went horribly wrong as I was literally scooping the content onto my hair and waiting for it to dry. Second time round, I got the hang of it, I rubbed the content onto my hair with my finger as if it were a hair mousse and attempted to spread the content evenly and repeated the process as required.
- The purple hair colour did not stain my fingers, it's like a gel consistency and easy to rinse off. The pink on the other side did stain my fingers and required immediately wash off with soap.
- Since my hair is jet back, I applied two coats in order to achieve the desired effect, as claimed, no clots. Once dried, I brushed my hair otherwise my hair will stick together.
- PURPLE: The purple was very visible in light and under the sun only, it was fairly faint otherwise, more like a nice tint. It's not as pastel as expected, it's more of a neon on my hair. Either way, I was impressed that the colour came through at all.
- PINK: The pink was much more visible both in and away from the light. I really liked the outcome of the pink colour and was very very impressed that it came out so nicely on black hair.
- The colour lasted all day right up until I washed it off at night, it's easily removable with shampoo, alternatively I did manage to remove the dye with lukewarm water.
- Overall, I really liked both products. This would be a fantastic item to have at home just incase you wanted to temporarily change your hair colour to suit your mood, occasion or outfit.
Hair Chalk (Blue)
- The liquid hair chalk had a hard spongey foamy nib, to dispense content you had to depress the nib several times. I'm not sure whether my nib was a dud or if I wasn't pressing it correctly.. but I just had no luck. I depressed the nib a few dozen times and only had a tint of blue seeping onto the dispenser. Eventually I gave up and took the nib off to retrieve the liquid hair chalk direct from the source.
- I applied the liquid chalk with my fingers (it didn't stain and washed off easily). This product was very pigmented, more so than the One Day Colours. I was really happy with how easy it was to coat my jet black hair. Once dried, the coloured strand did feel a bit "crispy" and required more brushing than the one day colour above.
- Even though the colour of the Liquid Hair Chalk was much more visible, I prefer the One Day Colour range for their application and the feel of my hair upon application.
