Introducing the Genius Hair Color Touch-Up That Lasts Through a Day at the Pool

We’re eternally searching for a simple (and imperceptible) way to extend the time between now and our next salon visit—especially during the summer months, when each free moment away from a desk seems best spent cooling off at the closest pool, beach, or body of water. “It can be hard to make time to see your colorist,” explains Temptu’s Samantha Mandor of the reasoning behind the company’s expansion of its popular airbrush makeup system into the hair color realm.

The brand’s new Airpod Airbrush 24-Hour Root Touch-Up & Hair Color line arrives in the form of seven shades of paraben- and sulfate-free color pods. Pop your preferred hue into the handheld Temptu Air device to deliver a microfine mist of pigment that covers roots, brightens highlights, or imparts an ombré wash (try Auburn for a subtle tint of red) that’s soft to the touch—not to mention transfer-resistant. “It won’t come out until you shampoo, so you can sweat or hang out by the pool without having to reapply,” says Mandor of the vitamin E–enriched formula. Airbrush novices (aren’t we all?) can relax about overspraying—the stream of color is so slim you can tint your brows with it, which means it’s targeted enough to avoid staining your scalp and forehead as you work. In other words, there’s no need to invest in an old-school plastic hairspray shield—simply spray and get on with your summer.
