Everyone is looking for ways to cut expenses these days, but when it comes to your hair, sometimes a do-it-yourself effort can end up back-firing and costing you more as you turn to a pro to un-do your handiwork. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a fool-proof product that allowed you to extend the time between your color appointments? There is just such an item; the Oscar Blandi Colore Pen, which comes in five flattering shades. Read on to see just what this versatile touch up pen can do for you.
At the Oscar Blandi Madison Avenue salon, they listen to the needs of their clients. A primary concern is touch ups, since after two weeks dreaded grays are often already showing. The Oscar Blandi team wanted to give their clients an at-home product to stretch time between salon visits so they don’t have to be a prisoner of the salon. It is estimated that this product will save an average of two hair color appointments a year.
They’re a gentle cream formula that adheres to the hair, but doesn’t stain or change hair color and dries in seconds. It’s water-resistant (humidity- and rain-proof), but shampoos right out. So it’s commitment-free color.
You don’t need to apply it to your entire head—just the hairline, temples and visible parts. The key is that a little bit goes a long way. Take small sections of your hair, hold taut for smoother application and just apply in a thin layer. Finish it off with a shine enhancing product.
It can last you a year for a few grays or highlights. If you use it on a regular basis to cover-up roots, usage is up to a month on average.
It was designed by Oscar Blandi colorists, so the texture of the brush resembles the experience you would have at the salon, but the compact design allows you to take it with you on the go and gets you through those uncomfortable moments when you don’t have time to visit your stylist.
So next time you need a little touch up, or just want to enhance your highlights, give the Oscar Blandi Colore Pen a try.
