Anyone use Herbal Essences Colorflirt Mousse (Clairol)?

[Aeon F.]

Does anyone have any experiences using Clairol's Herbal Essences Colorflirt Mousse ( temp color) - a "sparkling, low-risk temporary hair color with no ammonia, no peroxide"? I was cleaning out my bathroom cabinet (a virtual graveyard of abandoned hair experiments & products) and I came across this (still new in package). It has no ammonia or peroxides and washes out in 8-12 washes... so it's relatively low risk (I think)- but anyone hear of horror stories using it?

The color is CF 10 Bold Burgundy. While I love my dark hair- I've always had a deep envy of Burgundy/Merlot/violet-toned shades... I must of bought this at one point for some temp fun color...

I'm rather tempted to try it out....

I have used that a few times in the past...I wish they still made it, that stuff was fun! I didn't have any problems with it, and I used various red/burgundy/violet shades. At the time my hair was a faded auburn (colored, not natural) and it didn't take a long time to wash out. I'd only worry about it if your hair were light brown or lighter.

Excellent! Thanks for the vote of confidence GypsyCurls! :redgrin:

Depends on the other ingredients though. Some coloring mouses do have nasty things that make hair sticky (it is a mouse after all).

Hi Heidi, yeah I did see there was Alcohol Denat in the list, which I try to normally avoid like the plague... blah!

The full ingredient list is:

WATER, BUTANE, ALCOHOL DENAT., PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, PROPANE, DECYL GLUCOSIDE, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, ISOBUTANE, HC RED # 13, HC RED #3, HC BLUE #2, BASIC VIOLET 2, METHYLPARABEN, BASIC BLUE 7, FRAGRANCE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, PROPYLPARABEN, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE

The full ingredient list is:

BUTANE, PROPANE

that doesn't sound like something anyone should put in their hair

it's a can of aerosol mousse- and anything that's packaged that way (pressurized aerosol can), always have butane/propane on the list because that's the propellants used to get it out of the can.

I've used some kind of temp colour mousse before. I don't know if that's the one you are posting about. I used dark brown shade on light brown hair and it washed out in no time, less than 5 washes.

I used it before (in '05 maybe). It took quite some time to fade. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if I still had some in my hair.

I used funky cherry, which was a bright cool pink/red shade

Butane and propane are just propellants, they don't actually go into the hair. :)
