L'Oreal Paris Colorista Washout

Does not wash out, do not recommend for brunettes – This is not a semi permanent color. After +20 washes, color has gone from blue to green and still showing in brunette hair that has never been coloured before. Off to the hair dresser to fix. Do not recommend as does not work as per advice. Show details

Didn’t work at all – Used the purple dye and it didn’t leave any colour in at all after waiting 20 mins and rinsing as per instructions. I have one very disappointed 12 year old having spent her Christmas money. Her hair is quite light coloured too and to have had no lasting colour for even a couple of washes - ripped off. Show details

It doesn't work and the pictures are lying – I put it on and then when i washed it out. To my disappointment the colour went off although I followed instructions and waited for 15 mins. My hair has not turned Turquoise. It doesn't work. Show details

False advertising – I would only recommend this product if you want your hair permanently stained blue. Product states it last for 10-20 wash, I washed my hair 30 times and It was still significantly stained green, I have had to pay a large amount of money to get my hair fixed which comprised of them having to bleach it 3 times for the colour to lift and further dye it. by far the WORST product I have used. Show details

Absolutely turns green – I put this crap on my hair at the start of covid bc i was locked in with nothing to do. The first few days it looked cool... then it turned green and STAYED green. I wash my hair daily, and it's been weeks.. maybe a month. Still green as it ever was. Show details

Biggest Regret don’t recommend – Ok definitely read these reviews before buying I didn’t and was a horrible experience. I put it in about 2 months and still not out. This product total waste of money and time and definitely DOSN’T come out SCAMMERS!!! Show details

Amazing! bright at first, faded well – It was easy to apply, was bright and gorgeous before first wash, about a week later (1/2 washes) it started to fade, but to a beautiful rose gold colour. I wanted a change without the commitment and couldn't be happier with this product! Show details

This is scam... totally waste ...making customers a big fool. ..I wish I can get my money back – Red colourists...no colour in my hair after an hour...fake product..washed only once after applying. It was useless. I felt like l'oreal is just making us fool by this product. It's not worth it. Yuck..ruined my women's day feelings.. Show details

This product is a waste of money – My hair is blonde and I used the purple colorista washout, leaving it in for 20 minutes and followed all instructions. It showed no colour at all, waste of my money! Highly recommend not buying this faulty product. Show details

Impossible to get rid of – So over 40 washes later (and 50 days), including 2 washes with bicarb which is supposed to remove pretty much ANY non permanent colour, then we had a professional bleach her hair, and we were still left with green strands. Not exactly sure what it's going to take to remove this one. I do know we will never be using this product again. Show details

Will never wash out – I've tot dark brown hair, so the red color didn't do much more than give my hair a red hue when light shines on it. Unfortunately, 3 months later, it still looks exactely the same. Red hue didn't even fade Show details

Trash – Didn’t get any color. Only a small shining purple ish color that doesn’t show unless you are very close up to it. I don’t recommend it at all! Don’t use if you don’t have VERY blonde hair! Show details

Waste of $ – I have dirty blonde hair and watched plenty of you tube tutorials before I dyed my hair. I used pink colorista and had it in my hair for 25 minutes. I washed it out and it washed allllllll the colour out! Waste of 20 dollars - would not recommend or try. Show details

Bloody awful! – My daughter bought the colorista washout blue dye, to try some colour for the school holidays. She followed the instructions and left it in for 20 minutes, then washed. The next day her neck, face, hands, shoulders were a ridiculous shade of blue! She was in tears. I assumed she hadn't washed it out well enough, and I washed it, and a rubbed… Read more

her skin. All good I thought, but No!! It continues to come out of her hair onto her hands and neck after being washed at least 20 times now. I can't even work out how the hell it's still happening. Her hairs a horrible shade of bluey green. And so are her hands and neck. Do not buy it, it's horrendous.

A total waste of money – My daughter's have dark brown hair and I got this product as part of their messy hair day fundraising event at school. Left it in their hair for 40 minutes and it washed out completely. A total waste of money. Show details

Ruined my hair – I used the purple colorista on my blonde hair, which was nice at the beginning but after 2/3 washes it turned green. 3 months later, my hair is still green. I even used the fader shampoo and hasn’t helped at all. $8 for hair dye but it’s ended up being so much more expensive because I’ve had to spend money on products to get it out, which never end up working.

Don't risk it! – The hair dye lasted way more than 2 weeks/15 washes! If you have blonde hair do not risk turning it green - even after bleaching my hair is still slightly green.

Horrible!! Don’t recommend – I have never dyed my hair before so I thought why not try putting in temporary colour for some fun. I came to the hairdresser to get a balayage done after 3 months of putting it in my hair and now my hair is pink from the bleach so I have to now dye my hair back to brown and wait for it to grow out and come back in a few months for my balayage. Waste of time!!

Awful stuff – I left this blue on damp hair for only 5 minutes. The colour was ok until I washed my hair. Now fluro green. After 15 washes and using your "colour fade " shampoo, it still won't come out. I'm quite annoyed. I will never use your product again.

Rubbish waste of time and money – Bought this product for my daughter did extactly what the instructions told me to do and when I washed it out ..... it washed out completely! Pointless .. really waste of time waste of money

2 months on and still trying to get it out – I've used other branded temporary colours in the past for a bit of a shake up, but thought I would try something new. I applied the burgundy to my brunette and bayalage blonde hair at the beginning on June. 2 months later I'm still trying to get it out of my hair. It started out a lovely vibrant colour, but within 2 washes it had faded to a… Read more

burnt copper which looked crap. Most of the colour has come out of the underside of my hair, but the top layers, where it has been exposed to the sun, are still a burnt copper colour. Interestingly, it's stuck more to my natural hair colour than the dyed portions, which is the opposite of what they say on the box.

Don't bother trying this colouring product. In future I will be sticking with the brands that I know wash out in the end.

Does not work! – The box says it works on brunettes...and it definitely does not! Light brown hair, ended up with absolutely no turquoise colour! Even left it in for an extra ten minutes.

I chose the colour.... but substandard results – My son is on school holidays we wanted to try something fun a 8-10 washout colour seemed harmless and the colour on the box and what was promised based on his dirty blonde hair colour was exciting. The result is completely lacklustre. It said 15-20minutes. We wanted vibrant like the box, a bright blue colour, so we left it the full 20 plus a few… Read more

minutes extra because we got distracted. It’s a weird off blue grey colour and a lot of the colour didn’t even take to his hair?!? Mostly a faded odd colour. Not worth 10$ on special.... I can get a better result much cheaper... wanted to try a new colour though. Would almost say don’t trust the picture on the box. However it still stained, it’s kind of bluey grey. Wouldn’t recommend.

Terribly disappointed!! Would not recommend at all – I used the indigo Colorista to put some foils in my hair, which has blonde foils. Because the instructions said to leave it in for 10-15 minutes, I went for 10 minutes, and I know I have porous hair. The result was certainly NOT indigo - it was a washed out pale pastel blue. So I was understandably disappointed. But what was worse was that it went… Read more

green within about 4 days. That was on Good Friday. Despite washing it every second day, using the Fade Out product for over a week, and my hairdresser putting 20vol bleach over the top, the colour has STILL not come out completely. This is EIGHT WEEKS and nearly THIRTY washes. Absolutely ridiculous for something that’s supposed to come out in 5-10 washes. I will NEVER use this product again!

Nothing like the box – I was surprised that this product promised such a vibrant result on my brown hair. I should have known that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I have a subtle gross shade of green in the ends and a few lighter sections of my hair. I'll be buying another product to hopefully cover this bleh colour.

Bought blue and pink – Neither worked on my dark hair after bleaching and leaving for an hour as barely any color was visible The color however stained on my pillow and neck really well Bought pink blue and bleach Never again Should have watched reviewed before purchase

Horrible! It doesn't come off – I colored my hair on 18.10 and its been over a month and it still hasn't come off! The label said 5-7 washes and i've been washing it every 2 days sometimes twice a day! So my hair is still blue/green

This Product Ruined My Hair – On Thursday 28 Sept I used LOreal-Colorista-Washout-Aqua-Hair. On Sat 4 November it was till green after using your Fader Shampoo. and washing my hair every 2 days. I went to the hairdressers on Saturday 4 Nov to try and fix it. The hairdresser bleached it for 20min and the green lightened a but the green didn't come out and the toner… Read more

wouldn't take at all. The hairdresser said it was like the green had stained my hair.

My hair is ruined. I expected the colour to wash out when I was on holidays and now it is effecting my work as my role is client interfacing.

To say that I am annoyed and disappointed in an understatement.

Great product – I found this product great. I didn't want to commit to an all over colour, so I bleached about 3 inches of the bottom lengths of my hair and applied the colour. Colour was vibrant and long lasting. It's faded out to a really pretty pastel green. It's nice for a flash of colour.

Trash - Ruined my hair – This product not only dried out my hair to a ridiculous extent - leaving me looking like a scarecrow. But after 5 washes it turned my hair GREEN. Bright GREEN. I look like I've been dipping me head in a bucket of chlorine. To make matters worse, when I complained to L'Oreal they said all they could do was send me a pink dye to counteract the… Read more

green (which I'm clearly not keen on doing) that would take 10-15 working days to get to me.

So in short this terrible dye ruined my hair and was only offered a dubious solution that was going to take 2 weeks to get to me.

Not only is this deceptive product labelling - which I'm pretty sure is violation of more than one consumer law - it's just poor effort. Absolute trash - from product to customer service.

Did virtually nothing – Waste of money. Bought it for my 14 yr old who was keen to colour just the ends of her hair. I read a ton of reviews on Amazon, mostly bad, so decided to do a strand test to see how it would turn out. We washed her hair, cut off a strand and coloured it. Box says leave for 20 mins, we left it for 30, then rinsed. She has light brown hair and this… Read more

turquoise colour is 'vivid' according to the box, for brunettes. There was hardly any colour visible, a very slight bluey grey tone. Certainly nothing vivid or vibrantl like the much darker brunette on the box. I think if you have blonde or bleached hair these things will work, but this is false advertising as far as brunettes are concerned.
