Best Temporary Hair Colour at Sephora

Make Social Distancing Dye-namic With These Temporary Hair-Colour Products From Sephora

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Whether you're just hoping to get your roots in order or ready to try out a bold new colour from the safety of your own bathroom, there's a nonpermanent hair-care product at Sephora to turn that into reality. Many of them happen to also do double duty as things you want to use anyway, like deep-conditioning masks and dry shampoos.

Bold pinks and purples can be rinsed out as soon as your next shampoo, plus there are options to gently tone blond and brunette hair back to something neither brassy nor dull. (Sounds a lot less risky than grabbing some scissors, right?)

See the best temporary and semipermanent hair-colour products at Sephora ahead, 'cause there's no time like this time alone to get creative.

Good Dye Young Poser Paste Temporary Hair Makeup

As its name hints, the Good Dye Young Poser Paste Temporary Hair Makeup ($18) is like makeup for your hair and can be applied every single day if you'd like (as this paste washes out with one shampoo). Cover your entire head with pink, purple, or green, just your bangs in blue or orange, or perhaps some red or yellow roots instead?
