Here's a quick review of a hair product I used on a recent shoot :-)
With lots of coloured hair chalks on the market and the trend for temporarily colouring our hair with crazy colours I recently came across a product by international hairstylist Kevin Murphy called the Colour Bug.
The Colour Bug is a fun wipe in, wipe off colour that comes in 6 colours - orange, pink, purple, white, neon & shimmer
With easy application and quick removal by washing your hair, the Colour Bug also adds body and texture to the hair leaving it full of life.

Styling:
The model in the picture had really long hair and I wanted to create a shorter style. This I done by adding texture with products and tonging random sections to create some movement. Tying a very low ponytail at the end of the hair with a clear elastic I rolled the hair up and underneath itself until I reach the nape of the neck. I then pinned the roll into place with grips to secure.
Keeping the front tonged pieces loose around the face I pulled out random sections of hair from the roll and tonged again to create loose curls. This helped soften the look and to make it look more of a natural shorter style.
Application of the Colour Bug:
As advised on the directions of use, I used a cape for around the models shoulders and wore gloves.
I started by applying a styling product to the pieces of hair I was going to use the colour bug on. This is recommended to help the powder stick and dry to the hair. I applied the bug a few times to create subtle Pink highlights. I found by adding more pressure to the bug against the hair on application it made the colour darker.
As I wanted to match the Pink to the models lipstick I only applied very light pressure.

To get more of an understanding on how to apply the Colour Bug I have included the YouTube video by Kevin Murphy. The video explains in full what the results will be on different hair colours.
The results I thought were great and it was really easy and quick to use. I think it's definitely handy to have in your kit as a hairstylist as they're small and will last a while and perfect if you want to get creative!
Also fab for anyone wanting to try them at home for a fun day/night out.
Are they messy?
I had a little bit of product on the gloves I was wearing as I was using my hand underneath to support the hair I was applying it to and was rubbing it throughout the hair with my fingers so that was to be expected.
For any fallen colour from the hair after applying, I didn't notice anything on the models clothes or shoulders. So no mess!
