Whether you got influenced by a cool character you saw on television, were having a quarter life crisis or simply wanted to change up your look, we’ve all had moments where we’ve wanted to dye our hair in some outrageous colour in an attempt to break out of the monotony of everyday life. Actually going ahead and doing it, however, is an entirely different matter altogether — the process can cost hundreds of dollars, an obscene amount of time, and at the end of it all it might not even turn out to be as life-changing as you had envisioned it to be. If you’ve ever wished that there was some kind of fuss-free instant hair dye or something, wish no more, because one product claims to be exactly that.

The brainchild of UK-born, LA-based hairstylist Benjamin Mohapi, the “Moody Girls Temporary Colour Mask” offers the sounds-too-good-to-be-true prospect of achieving an Instagram-worthy pastel hair colour without the hassle and commitment that typically comes with it. Available in lilac, pink, yellow, orange and green, the mask can (allegedly) be easily applied after shampooing your hair, and will conveniently (or inconveniently, depending on how you see it) fade away after three to six washes. An ash blue one month followed by a dusty pink the next? Now that’s something we can get on board with.

Available now at the Moody Girls website, a tub of the stuff will set you back US$28, and there’s a US$15 discount if you’re crazy enough to buy all five colours at once. The fine print on the product page does read “Warning: Highly porous hair may hold colour longer. For use on light colored hair only”, however, so it might not be as effective on our naturally dark Asian hair (you might even have to bleach it first), but at $40 it’s still much cheaper and less permanent than the salon route, so there’s no harm in giving a shot, we guess.
