What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing describes the product as temporary and shampoo-removable, while customer feedback is mixed on longevity and stickiness.

Customer feedback commonly praises the spray’s effectiveness and grey coverage, while shade results are not consistent for everyone. Some report that dark brown works well, while others say it makes blonde hair appear brown. Longevity, stickiness and value also receive mixed feedback. For buyers matching a dark brown shade and wanting temporary coverage, the reports suggest usefulness alongside a real risk of colour mismatch or an unwanted feel in the hair.
