I’M BORED Hair Makeup is a color serum that combines salon-grade pigments with a nontoxic, conditioning formula that deposits a semi-temporary color. The serum-like texture contains aloe vera and soy protein to help moisturize, reduce flyaways, protect from heat damage, add volume + shine, all while adding a light hold for styling. I’M BORED semi-temporary color typically lasts between 2-6 washes.
What does it smell like?
Fragranced with a blend of mandarin and lemon essential oils, this fun scent also contains hints of coconut milk and whipped marshmallow!
I’M BORED Hair Makeup in the shade Thirst Trap was created to be used on medium to light brown hair only. This shade has a heavier pigment load in order to tint darker hair. If your hair is lighter and you use this shade, it will more than likely stay in your hair longer than 2-6 washes. If that’s too long, you can check out our colors for blondes!
What else should you know?
Color payoff will vary based how much hair is lightened as well as on the porosity of the hair and underlying hair chemistry. We recommend you conduct a hair strand test to determine color payoff. After the first wash, color may remain but the styling hold will be gone.
Safe on:
All hair textures, pre-lightened, chemically-treated, keratin-treated, and color-treated hair.

Sh*t this stuff is AMAZING.
For context, I frequently buy color depositing conditioner from an Unnamed brand to color my hair temporarily. It always gives a light, tinted hue on my brown hair that I know will wash out sooner rather than later. I work for the federal gov, and some offices I work at are weirder than others about hair dye. So I can never commit long term. This method was “good enough”, but lets be real, it didnt look fully dyed, it looked tinted.
When I saw this was released, I just assumed it would be the same, but at least now I can support GDY. I was expecting a color depositing conditioner level of color (faded, but a good enough tint), and man I was wrong.
This stuff is PIGMENTED. I LOVE IT. The purple showed up PERFECTLY on my light brown/dirty blonde hair. It looks like I fully dyed it.
A little goes a long way, I will have this for awhile!
Since this color showed up so strongly, I am tempted to try the blonde colors when I need a bit more of a subtle look. (again, my hair straddles blonde-brown).
A-freakin-plus Good Dye Young!! Will be buying again and again.

So I wanted to try this . I have a little bit of a darker shade of brown . First try it wasn’t noticeable . Second try I was able to see it a little but not noticeable . My hair must be too dark but it’s for brunettes . Can you make a shade for darker brown or black hair? I wanted to give it a dry . Product smells pretty good but also feels a bit oily after blow drying it . But again it’s not Really noticeable as I wished it would be . A little disappointed.

Simple application! Definitely use gloves if you don’t want purple fingers the next day! But shows up briliantly and is really easy to apply, heat set, and go in short time!

I’m not one to typically trust anything that says it’s for brunettes or anyone with dark hair but I currently have some lighter highlights and figured why not take a shot. I did half my hair and it did show up on the bleached parts but very very vaguely. It didn’t show up at all in the rest of my naturally dark hair. While I appreciate the effort and price it’s not something I would recommend to anyone with medium brown or darker hair. On the plus side it does smell really good.
