About the product

What it is?

The commonly used hair color bottle is a two-part bottle that squirts color using gravity. This requires shaking color down towards the nozzle, much as we do with a ketchup bottle. Color comes out in uneven and uncontrolled spurts.

In order for the common bottle to work, the head and body must be positioned underneath the bottle which has to stay upside-down. This position limits visibility which is important when applying dye.

The Hummingbird® was designed by a hairdresser and is all about precision, results and experience. Composed of precisely engineered parts, most importantly, a double-valved system that allows color to be applied in an upright position so you can see what you're doing, while providing ultimate control of the flow of color. The beak takes precise partings and spreads the color.

Precisely applied hair color means healthier hair, superior results and a less messy, premium experience.

The Hummingbird® is a patented 3 in 1 tool that can be used again and again!

What else you need to know

The Hummingbird® can be used to Part, Apply and Spread. It's "beak" takes long clean partings, which means excellent color coverage and fewer missed spots. The double valve system gives ultimate color control so you can apply evenly along the parts, or all over. No more messy spreading hair dye with your hands or fingers! Use the long side of The Hummingbird®'s beak to gently push the color into the areas you want to color. Plus, The Hummingbird® works upright, so you can see and control all the action!

How to use

When assembled properly, The Hummingbird® makes a nice strong squeak, which means you’ve got it, so your color should flow well. Most importantly, the valve needs to be seated properly in the applicator FIRST, and next the colored part of the tube is inserted all the way into the valve. Screw the Hummingbird® head on firmly until feels snug. Try your squeak again.

Bowl and brush color formulations do not work well in The Hummingbird®. It likes formulations that are meant for a bottle; light lotions, light gels and liquid glosses.

Hummingbird®'s do not like dishwashers, as the high heat damages the material.

It's super easy to take the components apart, using the yellow spoolie provided, to clean narrow areas like the beak and valve. Then, simply air dry overnight before reassembling. Your Hummingbird® is then ready to use again and again.

Pro Tip: for hard to remove color, add a tsp of salt and warm water to your bottle, and shake vigorously with your mixing cap to break it up!

Adri mentioned that the tool worked well with thicker consistency dye, although it was a bit challenging to squeeze out at the end. However, this was expected and not a major issue. For those using thinner consistency dye, this would likely not be a problem.

About Dye Candy

About Brand Created by a hairdresser, The Hummingbird is the most efficient hair dye applicator on the planet, eliminating messy hands, damaged hair and wasted product. Engineered to work upright for ultimate convenience, this game changing device brings unrivaled speed, pinpoint precision and flow control to the mess and chaos of applying liquid hair dyes, hair oils and treatments. The Hummingbird is a patented 3 in 1 tool that parts, places and spreads, is easily cleaned, and always at hand for your next creation. Our Story Over my 15-year salon career beginning at a tiny shop in Lexington Kentucky, it was an honor to be trusted by hundreds of clients, to have opportunities to train in advanced techniques in color and cutting at London’s Vidal Sassoon’s, experienced the challenges and joys of running an underground salon in Saudi Arabia, and eventually hairdressing at a high-end Portland, Oregon salon. Feeling pulled by the responsibilities of motherhood, I stepped away from the salon to care for my grade school children. Fully confident that I was more than qualified to color my own hair at home, I stepped into the bathroom and soon turned my healthy hair into straw, over-processing with squirt bottle applicators that were slow and messy. Instead of feeling confident and enjoying a moment of personal care, I quickly began to dread the entire process. Knowing firsthand the power of beauty and transformation, and now (more humbly) realizing how challenging self-application truly was, my vision was to create an applicator that would advance a better outcome, open accessibility no matter the setting, solve the mobility and control problems caused by common dye bottles and bring greater ease and enjoyment to this self-care experience. It’s been quite a journey to create The Hummingbird, full of challenges, but worth every up and down to be able to offer it to others. I’m still coloring my hair at home -Kathryn Madison, Founder & CEO The Hummingbird is self-financed and was launched in 2022 after years of testing and development. It has been granted patents both in the US and Europe and is now used both at home and in the salon. Giving and Mission Dye Candy is woman owned and gives back through its 1% For the Birds campaign, donating 1% of sales to the Audubon Society, an amazing organization that protects birds in the Americas. We design useful re-usable tools, made to last, as an alternative to single use plastics.
