Today, I'm going to be testing out
The Unseen's Colour Alchemy.
This is a temporary holographic hair dye
that changes color with heat.
I'm so excited to see what this looks like in my hair,
especially when it's all loose and curly.
On the back of the bottle,
it says that this is a temporary hair-color gel.
To me, that sounds like it'll probably
be really easy to just wash out.
This dye is only supposed to last as long as you want it to,
and then when you're ready to take it off,
you just literally shampoo.
So I'm going to take you guys with me into the shower
so we can see how easily this stuff comes out.
So, my plan is to use Scarab on this side of my hair
and then Borealis on the other side.
My hair is slicked back and straight right now
so we can really see the color change.
It says to apply it with one of these hair-dye brushes,
so I guess I'm just going to paint it on.
First impressions: It's slightly runny.
Like, way more runny than a gel would be.
So, it's very ...
it doesn't smell good.
It does not smell good.
[gasps]
I feel like it's already doing
some weird color-shifting thing.
I let the dye sit in my hair for about 10 minutes,
and it kind of dried down a little bit.
Now it looks a little bit more like my natural hair color.
So now I'm going to take my blow-dryer and apply some heat
and see if we can get this to change color.
It works!
This is literally the coolest thing ever.
I'm going to have so much fun using this.
Ah!
Oh!
Now we're going to apply Borealis on this side.
I'm really excited for this one,
because I think it's purple, and I love purple.
This ...
This.
I am interested to see if this dye transfers at all,
so I'm just going to take a clean paper towel
and dab it on, see if we get anything.
I don't see anything.
I don't see anything at all.
I think you can definitely tell
that I am so into this so far,
but let's see how it applies on my curls.
It is a new day.
I washed the dye out of my hair no problem last night.
I just shampooed like normal,
and it came right off.
My scalp was slightly tinted a little bit pink,
but I think that was a combination
of the dye and also me scrubbing.
But other than that, I had no problems
removing it at all.
I also wanted to mention that the dye
didn't leave my hair feeling super dry and crusty.
It felt just like it did before the dye.
So, today we are going to try to apply
the temporary dye to my natural curls.
I think that it's going to be a little bit tough
to see any sort of change
because it's not a flat, reflective surface.
There's a lot of shapes happening here,
but we're going to try it.
I feel like the holographic effect
is a lot less obvious
when you apply it to curly hair, obviously,
but it is cool to see all the different colors up close,
like when I move my head around,
some of it looks blue, some of it looks green.
You can see a little bit of the orange.
So I don't think it's a total fail on curly hair.
I think it's just as cool, but in a different way.
It's like mermaid scales.
It's kind of cool.
I feel like rainbow fish.
I've had so much fun trying out
The Colour Alchemy temporary hair dye.
Not only has it been super easy to apply and remove,
but it actually changes color.
Even though the effect was a bit different
on my natural curls than it was on my slicked-back hair,
I still got that really magical color change
when I applied heat.
I will say I did use up both of the dyes
when I was applying them to my curls.
You don't get a lot of product with this,
especially if you're someone like me with a lot of hair.
But I still think it's such a fun
temporary way to change up your hair.
