Those looking to liven up their locks can choose from a range of products that run the gamut from quick, subtle sprays and foams to longer-lasting dyes. Temporary color-depositing masks, which will last as long as you continue to use them, are another solution for those looking for something in between appointments.
There are options galore, and the best part? All of them are pretty affordable. Most sprays, mists, and foams are going for less than $10, and temporary or semi-permanent dyes cost just a bit more.
Anyone wanting to copy Duff’s bright blue locks, which she DIYed at home with a little help from her husband, can get a more vivid, longer-lasting tint by using a temporary color or dye. Sephora’s semi-permanent hair color, which leaves a striking teal color on tresses and gently fades with every shower, is an affordable option. Moroccanoil’s Aquamarine color depositing mask is another easy way to achieve Duff’s new look.
