I love using Loreal Color Pulse hair dye. It's so much fun because there is no risk involved since it's non-permanent hair color. I love that it comes in so many fun shades like funky cherry and electric black. I personally use the Red Pulse color. The box says that it washes out in about 8-10 washings but really it depends on your natural hair color and how much product you used. If you have a light hair color and go darker than it will take up to 15 washings for the color to come completely out. And if you use more than one bottle it will also take longer to wash out. I would recommend it for anyone who wants risk free coloring. I love it because it's a mousse not a gel or liquid so it is super easy to apply. Especially if you apply your own hair color like I do. You can experiment with a bunch of funky colors that you normally wouldn't try if th color was permanent. Here's a fun idea to get you started on the road to dying your hair for fun, have a dying party!

I had a dying party with my friends a couple years back and now it has become a monthly event. It's so easy and a really fun way to bond with your girlfriends. What I did is each of us takes turn hosting each month and the host goes out the night before and buys the color. Loreal Color Pulse is inexpensive and is often on sale so you can go all out and buy a couple of bottles of each color. The only rule is that you try a new color at each party. That's what me and my friends do, anyway. It makes things more fun so that you all end up a new look and the beauty of it all is that if you hate the color it washes out quickly. It's just a fun idea to take the leap of dying your hair risk free.
(Here's a quick tip: If your hair is past your shoulders I would use 1 1/2 cans and if it is past your elbows, like mine, use 2 whole cans. One of the nice thing about this product is that the cans of color mousse are resealable so you don't have to use it all.)
