Another Color Run Question

[scorpio72]

Does the color really come out of your clothes and shoes?

I'm doing a color run with my daughters this weekend.  If it's not going to come out I want to make sure we don't wear anything that could be ruined.  I've read it should come out of clothes but may stain shoes.  

How about hair?  Are we going to have multi colored hair for days?  My 10 and 8 year olds would love it but I'm not so sure I want crazy hair for days on end.

I did it this weekend and thought it came out pretty easily. I really didn't have much in my hair. They did a good job of aiming low. I washed my capris right away and the color came out completely.

My white t-shirt did not come clean. It is dingy and has brown spots where the color was really saturated. Purple was the only color that stained my other clothes (I have a tank top, capris and a sports bra that still have dye on them after many many washes). I never washed my shoes, so they still have color on them. I just wore a pair that was ready to be retired anyway.

I was worried about it staying on my skin and didn't have any issues. I have dark hair, so I don't know how well that comes clean/shows lasting color.

Most of it came out but my shirt has some orange left and my armwarmers have some spots. Don't wear anything you would be sad if they were stained.

LOL. My stuff from 2 weeks ago is still sitting waiting to be washed. Actually, I washed my pants twice and they are still stained (they were a light gray color). I wanted to see if there was a way to wash the white shirt to hold the color? Apparently I haven't had enough time to look into that yet...lol. It came out of my hair (medium brown with blonde highlights) really easily. I have a little on my dark gray shoes and haven't washed them yet. Not too worried about that.

I saw someone on my run wearing one of those masks that you can buy at hardware stores for painting. I was really envious of his mask while running. The powder really bothered my throat/breathing and my contacts (even though I wore sunglasses).

I still had a really fun time though and would definitely do it again!
