It's definitely Monday and it feels like the most Monday, Monday ever. The only good thing was that my hair looked nice. I think I first saw these with my sister...she told me about them and then ordered a sampler pack from a small business. I found the ORS ones on Amazon for about $8.00. But I think I paid around $12.00 for this color. Idk why it was higher at the time. I couldn't really find many video's with this color so I was very unsure about what I was really getting...but I was ready to try it anyway.
ORS claims:
Curls Unleashed Color Blast provides a temporary color solution, formulated with moisturizing beeswax, to elongate and define curls with beautiful, vivid colors and no damage.
I haven't used an ORS product in years. But I had been waiting to color my hair...just a slightly lighter reddish brown. I was thinking about doing it when I went to the states but the more I thought about it..I don't want to change the texture of my hair. Any time I colored my hair- my hair starts feeling a bit plasticky and isn't as soft as it is naturally. That could be because I always used boxed color instead of the pro stuff ...but I didn't want to do it, regret it, and then have to grow out my hair again.
So this product is perfect. And it's made for kinky/coily/curly hair. And the price is reasonable. It's easy to order. I had high hopes for it. I ended up buying four colors. And I can tell you I want to try them all. Except maybe the grey/silver/white one. But I will probably try that too....
I know you can use it and just rake it through your hair..and it does elongate my curl pattern but I ended up doing a twist out because I wanted to see how that looked. It kind mutes the color and I get even more elongated curls. This is the best stuff I have used to twist my hair. The definition and the hold is amazing. I don't have to retwist my hair, I can just put it in a scrunchie at night..let down in the morning and go. Before when I twisted my hair, I used to re-twist my hair every night which was annoying.
As for the color- I love it! I think because I twist my hair it mutes the color so this is more of a purple color. I think it really compliments my skin tone. I didn't smooth it as much as I usually do because I was in a hurry...but you can really control the color by how much you put on. If you want it to be more colorful instead of a tint, I wouldn't use it to twist. Just rake it right through...
It can be a bit messy- this last time I didn't make much mess though. It will get on your clothes but I have found it washed right out but I wouldn't put on my favorite clothes and then use this. Once it dries it transfers a lot less, if your hands are in your hair and you are taking your twists down- it's going to get on your hands but with normal touching it doesn't transfer. It washes off though and does not stain. It does rub off on clothes through the day....and it can transfer as well but it's not too bad. It also washes out in the laundry. Worth mentioning but won't keep me from buying and trying all the colors.
It does also flake off a bit. I think it kinda depends on what you use under it though. It can last up to five days...but it does fade as the days go by so I wouldn't expect it to be as vivid as it was on the first day.
I did find it to be very drying the first few times I tried it. Especially my ends. I have since chopped my ends off and my latest twist out had no issues. I changed my leave in conditioner that I use under it and feel like my hair feels a lot better than what I was using before. It still does have a bit of a crunchy feel, kinda like if you used gel. But not too bad. You can definitely experiment with what you put under it but I do recommend at least a leave in.
Even though it's not dye and won't damage your hair as dye, I would make sure to take a break from it and make sure you are hydrating/deep conditioning your hair as I do think this is drying overall.
