Nico Reyes: Today we are trying out yet another temporary hair dye. Please don't hate me. This is the Good Dye Young I'm Bored Hair Makeup, and it's actually a serum that deposits a semi-temporary color in your hair. I'm very excited by the fact that this is a serum, because it says it'll also condition, add moisture, and strengthen while adding a cool color. The color is supposed to last two to six washes, so we'll see how it actually holds up.

Out of the five colors that they have, two of them were specifically made for brunettes, and the rest are for blonds. I got this purple eggplant-y color called Thirst Trap. The other color that they had was a red, but I tried red a little while ago, so I wanted to try something new.

The instructions say to start with towel-dried hair and then section it so it's easy to apply. So let's do that right now. "Gloves are recommended for application." I will not be using gloves to apply this, because I feel like every time I do one of these videos wearing gloves, I don't really get what's going on. I can't tell if something's fully saturated, so I'm kind of going rogue, and I don't care if I have purple hands. I'm going nowhere.

Generated voice: PSA, please wear gloves. I suffered so you can succeed.

Voice effect: No!

So, let's start with this section right here. Oh, that is dark. That looks like black food coloring. Oh, my God. That smells incredible. It smells really, really good! Is it doing anything? My biggest fear is that -- listen. I'm very self-aware. I know that I'm a brunette, and stuff like this, odds of it actually showing up are minimal, slim to none. But I want to see if I can get a little color out of this! Is anything happening? I don't think it is. I do feel like it is softening my hair as I am working it through. My curls feel way more hydrated than they did before. I had no product in my hair before, but now I feel nice and soft. Should I have worn gloves? Yeah. Voice effect: No!

So, it's been like 20 minutes. I just wanted my hair to dry a little bit, because on the product page, it actually says that if you want a bolder, longer-lasting color, you can apply it to dry hair. So we're going to do another layer on my mostly dry hair. Yes, my hands are still purple. I'm an idiot. What's new.

Now it says to blow-dry, or diffuse in my case, and style, so I'm going to go get my diffuser and I'll be right back. So, here's how it's looking. I think as just a normal hair serum, I actually love how my hair feels, how it looks. I feel like it looks really shiny and bouncy and feels super soft.

As a hair dye, I feel like literally nothing happened here today, but I'm going to go outside to see if I can see any difference underneath direct sunlight. The color looked the best in sunlight or natural light. I felt like I could see the purple tint the most when I was just sitting in front of my window. Over the next few days, I'm going to be washing my hair, I typically wash about three times a week, and we'll see what happens.

I feel like the first wash didn't do much damage to the color, not that it's super easy to tell. But it looks exactly the same as yesterday. After the second wash, I started to notice some slight patchiness with the color. You can definitely see some sections of my hair just look more brown and don't have that purply tint that other sections have. It's barely noticeable, though, because the color is so faint. By the time I got to wash three, the color was more faded. In sunlight, you still see that faint purple tint, but it got a lot weaker. I also use pretty hot water when I shower, and the instructions say that hot water will fade the color faster.

I do feel like the little bit of tint that I had has faded since I first applied the I'm Bored Hair Makeup. But I can still see that very slight purply tint in my hair. I'm honestly shocked it hasn't all washed out at this point. I don't think the color payoff was anything incredible, at least on my dark hair, but I feel like people with lighter hair are really going to like this. It's definitely a nicer alternative to all the other hair chalks and hair makeups that I've tried that leave my hair feeling really crunchy and dry. This one leaves your hair feeling really soft and shiny.
