Young people have it so easy today. In the 90s, if you wanted to add a splash of colour to your hair you had to either find a market stall selling pots of Crazy Color, or use a combination of Sun-In and highlighter pen, and then get suspended from school. True story. Today, the choices for temporary hair colours are varied, affordable and elegant, ranging from hair chalks (L’Oréal Professionnel Hairchalk £15, feelunique.com) to sprays (Models Own Coloured Hairspray £4.99, asos.com), and you don’t even need a sink. The secret thrill of dark-blue lowlights; the cheeky buzz of a pale-pink plait; a cool mint dip-dye for the weekend, all washed off in time for double maths.
