A total six shades make up the Color Crave line: 'Shimmering Rose Gold,' 'Copper,' 'Bronze,' and 'Platinum,' as well as 'Brilliant Amethyst' and 'Ruby.' As all of the shades are highly pigmented, they can be used on both light and dark hair tones, setting them apart from many competing products that are available on the market. To use the Color Crave shades, all consumers need to do is run the sponge applicator along dry strands of hair, blow dry the color in, and then brush it through. Due to the precise sponge applicator, consumers can get an even finish and use the [temporary dyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witches-delight) in targeted areas, such as on top of braids, or in subtle highlights. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Temporary Hair Makeup:** Opportunity for the development of innovative and vibrant temporary hair color products that can be easily applied and removed. - **Highly Pigmented Hair Dyes:** Potential for creating hair dyes with intense pigments that work effectively on both light and dark hair tones. - **Targeted Hair Color Application:** Room for creating precise and controlled application methods for temporary hair color, allowing users to achieve specific looks or highlights. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Care:** The personal care industry can explore the creation of new temporary hair makeup products to cater to consumers looking for quick style changes. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetics companies can tap into the trend of highly pigmented hair dyes to expand their product offerings and attract a wider range of customers. - **Beauty Salons:** Beauty salons can take advantage of the targeted hair color application trend by offering specialized services for precise application methods, creating unique and customized looks for their clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Skincare-Inspired Hair Color Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clairol-colorstrong-kit.md) - [Multi-Dimensional Hair Dyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dphues-color-dream.md) - [At-Home Color Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-pro.md) - [Expressive Haircare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-in-color.md) - [Coffee Color Hair Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-color-cream-1.md) - [Future-Facing Hair Colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aveda-vibe-collection.md) - [Hair Gem Stylers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-pen.md) - [Gen Z-Inspired Hair Gems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-z-collection.md) - [Mystical Hair Dyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witches-delight.md)
