Kevin Murphy put his new COLOR.BUG in my hair…in the bathroom at Le Select Bistro.

Kevin Murphy is an Australian hair stylist-come-manufacturer of wicked products like Angel.Wash and beach-y effect creator, Hair. Resort. Spray. Now he’s invented and distributed a BRILLIANT product called COLOR. BUG, better described as “coloured hair shadow”.

First thing’s first: this trend is fucking AWESOME. Gone are the limits of blonde, brown and red, and here are the days of wearing whichever damn colour you wish.

Kevin came to Toronto to share his story, and I heard it over a plate of delicious steak frites at Le Select Bistro. Before I left my house, I paid early homage to his new trend by crushing up an eyeshadow and finger-painting my hair blue.

Over lunch, we had a great conversation about Color Bugs then headed downstairs to the uni-sex bathroom sink for an impromptu styling session.

Here’s the final product inspired by Thakoon and made possible by Kevin Murphy.

COLOR.BUG is available at Kevinmurphy.com.au , which you can also visit to find a salon with availability near you.
