I began sectioning off my hair before putting gloves on (which they encourage and I can’t emphasize enough that you should). Finally, I had to only apply leave-in conditioner before moving on to the curl color. They highlighted that hair shouldn’t be dripping wet at all. (They recommended their own products, but I just used my usuals.) The next step was to make sure my hair was damp but close to dry (and this step is very crucial). The first step was to wash my hair as normal. The product had a few steps to follow to get the best results. I was beginning to realize this was not going to be an average hair color product. It’s a gel, so I knew I wasn’t going to have a hard time applying it. However, it’s not overpowering and once you apply it to your hair, you hardly notice the scent at all.Īside from scent, the consistency was soft. Honestly, it reminded me of candy (like a pink starburst). The last thing I wanted my hair to smell like was crayola crayons or chalk. One reason why I steered away from temporary colors in the past was because of the smell. I was also not expecting it to smell like the brand’s signature scent. Was it really going to cover my whole head? But skepticism aside, the packaging was very bold and I was surprised to see the product matched the vibrant color. Upon examining the product, I was weary by the small jar. I brought four of the colors and started with Hot Red. The collection features six colors such as Passion Purple, Bold Gold, Emerald Green, Hot Red, Sassy Silver and Cool Blue. But it was when I saw their recent Instagram post of a woman with dark hair like me trying one of their most vibrant colors that I was immediately sold on their color collection, and knew I had to get my hands on one. But then I came across the As I Am Curl Color collection, and it was a totally different story.Īs I Am was one of the first brands I used at the beginning of my curly journey, so I was familiar with how great their products are in general. But instead of wax or chalk, I turned to a newer application trend-color depositing masks. But once the only people that were going to see me IRL were my family, I thought it was good timing to take the temporary plunge. I didn’t want to take the chance and step into the office looking like an abstract painting. I knew about color wax and chalk as temporary options, but I always thought they looked cakey and fake. But while I rejoiced at seeing my dark brown (practically black) hair again from root to tip, admittedy, I did secretly missed a bright color on my curls from time to time. For context, I had spent the last five years transitioning back to my natural texture and color. I almost threw myself a party when the last of my dyed blonde hair was finally gone.
