- Hi, and welcome to Bizarre Beauty.
The show where I try weird beauty internet products
so you don't have to.
(fun upbeat music)
(cat meows)
Today I have a special guest.
- Where?
- This is my sister, Becky.
It's all about hair.
Did I hit you in the face?
- No. - Good.
This product is temporary hair color comb.
I think it's kinda like hair chalk,
but it's in its own little comb.
Looks like you just comb it through your hair
and color comes out.
And I figured you'd be good for it
because you have light hair
and it will probably show up better on you.
- Maybe.
We'll see.
- Have you ever used hair chalk before?
- No, I've only ever used hair mascara
when I was like 10.
- I have used chalk once
and it gets everywhere.
Temporary hair color is hard
because it never feels nice.
It might look cool from a distance,
but I feel like as soon as you get close
or if you touch it,
it's like (ripping hair)
- I've got a date tonight.
I hope he likes multi-colored
women in their thirties.
- Alright, should we get to it?
- Yes.
- Alright, let's open it up.
Nice little purple, black design, yep.
Mmhm.
- It looks quite, um,
I want to say,
dated.
It looks like it's something that you'd find in a pharmacy
in a really small town.
- Oh. - And it's been on the shelf
for like seven or eight years,
but they still haven't reduced the price.
- No, it's still 25 dollars.
- (laughing) Yeah!
- It says, "Dye your hair with the chalk comb directly
and no need to wet the hair."
So you should comb your hair straightly before use.
In case your hair gets stuck in the gaps on the comb,
please don't twist your hair or drag it heavily.
It says, "Wash off with water and shampoo."
But the cool thing is that
usually this is for light hair,
right, I'd say.
But, the back of the packaging
it has it on like a black-haired lady,
and it's showing up.
I always want my hair to be different colors
but it never works unless you bleach it first.
- Yeah.
- So, I'm kind of excited.
If this works,
then I have just a whole new world open to me.
- They're kind of metallic looking.
- There's a mystery package in this.
- Ohh!
Is it a shower cap?
- What?
- What is happening?
Why is it so growing?
- What-- - Is that for your arm?
- is that?
- It's an apron.
- It is an apron,
and gloves.
Yeah, you go first.
I will just watch you.
Yeah, I can do it for you.
Come here, dear.
- Thank you, mummy.
- Yeah.
We're gonna take the bib off
because this is a video
and the microphone is ruined.
Fly like a plastic bag from a Katy Perry song.
- Here,
wack 'em on.
- Do I need to?
- Yes.
- Okay, the look I'm going to go for,
and probably not achieve,
is a rainbow
graduated end.
- That's ambitious for a first try.
- I wanna put these in a nice order.
Where's the rainbow?
Red,
and yellow,
and
pink,
and
green.
- Orange, and purple, and blue.
- Red is first.
- Nothing happened.
- Oh, oh, wait it is. - Oh!
- It's gonna be so '90s.
Yeah.
- It's cute!
It works.
- It's sticky.
It definitely does something.
It feels nasty.
Sold the rainbow.
I'm going in with the purple.
Cool.
Oh, this is just like having a child's coloring book.
It looks good, I like it.
- Can I feel it?
Oh, yeah,
it feels exactly like I thought it would,
which is straw-like.
- Maybe it dries?
I don't want to go on a date like this.
He's gonna think I'm crazy.
Which I am.
He doesn't need to know that now.
Oh, the blue is really pungent.
- It's cute.
You look like a little pony.
(romantic music)
- Hey, sugar bear.
- Alright, my turn.
(Becky yawning)
- I'm gonna start with blue.
I'm gonna just try and do it all over in streaks.
Mine's so dark,
I really don't know how this is gonna work
but let's try.
Oh!
I can see it.
- It's quite subtle.
Um, it does make my hair look wet,
that's the only thing.
Let's try a different color.
I'm getting a lot in here.
- Oh, blondie! - Yeah, yeah!
- [Becky] That's really bright.
- Really bright.
- Very jazzy.
- I feel super Myspace.
Here's the pink.
I should probably take bits of hair
rather than trying to color my entire head.
- You'll run out of chalk.
- It is running out quite quickly, though.
Look, and this looks purple not pink.
Which makes sense, cause if you add black to pink,
you're gonna get purple.
- Science.
- Yeah, it works actually a little better
than I thought it would.
I don't hate it but I don't love it,
and look at my hands.
(romantic music)
- Disgusting.
- It does make my hair feel gross, though.
I can't put my hands through my hair anymore.
Alright, we're gonna finish this up as best we can,
make it look nice,
and then we're gonna show our co-workers
and see if they can tell what we've put in our hair.
(camera snapping and upbeat music)
- [Chloe] How do you feel about these women's hairs?
- Stylin' and profilin'.
- I'm obsessed.
- Wow!
That actually looks really,
really nice.
- I like them, they're fun.
- The color is good.
- Very sexy.
- [Chloe] Oh!
- [Chloe] Do you see it in my hair?
- Your one was much harder to notice,
but yeah, in there, I can see it.
- I like that you can see them in yours
cause you have dark hair like me
and I'm assuming you didn't
bleach your hair today. - [Chloe] No.
- I noticed hers first cause she's blonde.
- Can I touch it?
- [Chloe] Yeah, it doesn't feel great.
- Yeah.
- [Chloe] It's very hard.
- Oh, yeah it feels like wax.
- I like it.
Does it make your hair feel weird?
- Touch it, it's disgusting.
It just feels very matted,
but I like the colors.
- You can't tell that it feels like that, though.
- [Chloe] What do you think it is?
- A chalky pastel? (gasps)
- What is it?
- [Chloe] It's hair chalk.
Have you ever-- - Chalk?
- [Chloe] used it?
- No I haven't.
- It would be really good for festivals
where you're just trying to get a quick look in,
not like going on a date where they might touch your hair.
- What if it rains?
- [Chloe] It would just go everywhere.
- [Becky] I'm going on a date and it's gonna rain.
- [Chloe] Is it an outdoor date?
- [Becky] Not anymore.
- It looks like, nicely blended, I like it.
- [Chloe] Would you use it?
- Yeah, i'm interested to see, like,
whether it washes out or not.
- I would do that little reddish color.
It looks good.
- It looks nice.
- Well people seem to like it.
I'm quite happy with the responses we got.
- Most people said yeah,
for like a festival.
But then we kept asking people to touch it,
and they weren't impressed. - That was the mistake.
- From a distance, it's great.
You can't see it very much in my hair.
I think in different lights you can see it better
but, yeah.
I mean, definitely good for like a cute,
temporary quick thing.
So, almost a thumbs up.
- I would give it a slanted thumb towards the sky.
- Agreed.
Would you wear it?
Have you ever tried it before?
Just tell us anything that you feel like telling us.
Even if it's not related.
- What is the name of your dog?
- What else would you
recommend to put in your hair for temporary color?
Let us know.
- Hmm.
