In the immortal words of Rachel Zoe, “I… die.” Except in this case, I’m dying over this new hair color… that isn’t dye at all! It’s Kevin Murphy’s new Color Bug, and it creates day-wear bright color for your hair in powder form that rinses out in the shower. Mind: Blown.
Now this first vid is Kevin Murphy last year using his professional formula of hair color powder seen at Thakoon’s S/S 2012 show at New York Fashion Week. The link that follows is Kevin’s podcast for using the new consumer line, and the best ways to get the stuff to stick!
So yeah, bottom line is we can all have brightly colored hair today, and wash it out tonight! Absolutely brilliant.
So, lovelies, attainable color, no maintenance required! What do we think?

1. It doesn’t look as good.
2. It wont work on darker hair color… at least it wont work as well.
Genius concept but I dont see it working here.

Does it work on dark hair just as well as blondes?

doesn’t the powder get everywhere?

It’s an interesting concept, but it doesn’t look great. What if you need to touch up, brush a little part or even style it? I’m sure some of it comes out. I can’t even imagine with my dark hair. Pink, purple, or (shudder) orange will not show up in my hair. It just might look like I didn’t rub in dry shampoo correctly.

it looks gross on the models for that show (Thakoon). I saw a few pictures where other people used it and it looked pretty neat. It’s too bad that it probably wouldn’t work on dark hair. I would use it if it would work on dark hair.

So… what happens if you get caught in the rain?

I think the major downside would be that it wouldn’t work for anyone that isn’t very blonde.. and I have black hair naturally so that’s a big downside. Also, mindyBLENDER@xanga makes a good point… I use a combo of Special Effects and Manic Panic semi-permanent hair color regularly, and even those will drip color down your face if you go out in the rain too few washes after applying it. also, semi-permanent hair color rubs off on the neck area of your clothes, and i would imagine this would do the same. not a great look…

It looks all right, but I have my hair dyed blue and pink and mine comes out more vibrant. I guess this is good if you just want to do it for a day… but it reminds me of that spray color in a can.

just by reading the title i thought this was going to be a slam post about someone losing their hair because of some hair dye. but wow this powder is amazing. i have black hair, i wonder if it would work on my hair?
