Hair dye is a very popular way of reducing the signs of aging. Many people will use natural colors to eliminate the gray and white hairs that have started to appear. It allows people to retain their youthful look for longer. However, other people simply like to change the color of their hair, sometimes even to match a specific outfit.
Of course, this leads to the question of how many times can you dye your hair and is it possible to dye it for just one day.
The short answer is yes, it is possible to dye your hair blond, or any other color, just for one day. You will need to use a product specifically designed as a temporary one-day color spray. In effect, you’ll be spraying your hair a different color and it will wash out when you shampoo your hair.
However, you should note that even one day hair spray colors can last longer. It will depend on the extremity of the color change. For instance, going from black hair to blond will make it unlikely that the temporary hair color will wash out in one go. Your hair may take several days to return to its original color.
Hair Products
As well as choosing a high-quality hair dye, you should consider using high-quality hair care products, such as the ones in the Kerastase range. For your hair to successfully survive and flourish with regularly dying, even if it’s just for a day, you need it to be as healthy as possible.
This means using products that lock moisture in and remove debris and grease effectively. This will also help to ensure the color shines through properly.
Washing Your Hair
Regardless of what hair color product you use it will start to fade as you wash it. If you have changed the color of your hair and decided you want to keep the new color, it’s a good idea to minimize the number of times you wash it. This will help to ensure the color stays in your hair and not down the drain.
The Best Options
If you’re looking to change your hair color for just one day then there are three products that really work. Anything else is likely to last for longer, which isn’t what you are after.
- Mascara
This isn’t the sort of mascara you put on your eyes. It is specifically designed to be added to your hair. All you have to do is use the wand and brush your hair, it changes the color but washes t within 1 or 2 shampoos.
- Chalk
Hair chalk works similarly. You will need to wet your hair first. You can then run the chalk through it, several strands at a time. It will last for up to four shampoos.
- Hair Spray
We’ve already mentioned colored hair spray. You literally spray the color onto your existing hair and you’re good to go. It lasts for approximately four shampoos.
