4. Hair Chalk 

Hair chalk is one of the most fun and risk-free ways to add temporary color to your hair. Its often used by kids and young teens as a safe and creative way to experiment with bright hair colors. 

The application is simple and involves moving the chalk down any parts of your hair that you want to be colored. It works well for ponytails, bangs, and other small areas of hair but not so well for full head application. 

Depending on the brand, you can purchase hair chalk in single colors or in packs that include a full spectrum of colors, just like a regular chalk set. A popular hair chalk brand to try out is Got2Be.

5. Hair Color Rinse 

Hair color rinses are not the same as color depositing shampoos. Instead of rinsing them out, you leave them in like a leave-in conditioner or detangler. Hair color rinses generally will not drastically change your hair or give you bright, bold results. 

They are used more often to mask gray and enhance the hair’s natural color or as a toner to remove brass and add depth. Roux FanciFull Temporary Color Rinse has been one of the top-selling color rinses for decades. 

6. Temporary Color Serum and Creme

This lightweight color option is easy to apply and will not make your hair sticky, goopy, or stiff. The application is like any other kind of serum. It can be one of the longer-lasting temporary hair color options out there, with a life of up to one week.

If you want moveable hair with a gleam of beautiful color, try a product like Good Dye Young I’m Bored Temporary Color serum or Good Dye Young Semi-Permanent Vegan Hair Dye. 

7. Color Mousse

Temporary color mousse is a styling product that helps you keep your hair in place, while at the same time providing you with a color-enhancing effect. While a mousse usually will not provide as intense a color result as some other applications, it can add tone and noticeable color.
