Chocolate Rush 68, Violet Vision 85, Red Passion 43, etc... (See All)Reviewer Photos & Videos
Colour is beetroot not purple even on my grey hair. I have to change it back as colour is nasty. I buy 2 boxes 4 my hair. Wasted money.
Not happy at all
Purchased in November 2021 at The Reject Shop for $7.
I have greying hair that I usually use a mid brown colour on, but wanted to add some copper red instead, just for a change. The box and the name of this colour indicate it's on the brown side of red, but it isn't. It was a burgundy red, which I really dislike with my complexion.
In addition, it left my hair dry and stringy, with a lack lustre lack of shine. Won't use the colour or the brand again.

If you want a violet/purple shade this colour will disappoint. It is red from the get go. It will also make your hair darker. If I wanted red I would specifically buy that colour. Comes off on towels for weeks. I suggest buying a black towel just for drying your hair or your good ones will be ruined.

Turned into a ginger (not that theres anything wrong with gingers)
SO I was a happy customer, continuously colouring my hair every 5/6 weeks with the Romantic Brown when the last two times using it, bleached my naturally dark brown hair into a dirty reddish/brown. I now have been to the hair dressers twice to colour match my roots to my ends and will NEVER use it again. Mt friend also noticed her hair turning a distinctly different colour when using another shade. Disappointing to say the very least.

My hair is black and I tried to dye it to the colour of chocolate rush. It did not change at all. I reapplied it and it still did not work. I do not recommend it at all.

I coloured my hair 4 days ago and made sure to cover every surface. I washed it tonight so I left it in for 4 days. Most of the dye washed out tonight. I’m very disappointed as I spent a while doing it and was expecting something very different. I don’t think I’ll be buying this product again, definitely doesn’t last up to 8 weeks at all.

Wasted my time and money on this product. I spent over twenty minutes deciding between this colour and black. Spent over an hour making sure I got every strand of hair and letting it settle in for it to wash the colour out straight away, in cold water!!

Did not cover grey as promised - Waste of my time and money - won't buy it ever again
Used this product for the first time on the weekend. "Perfect grey coverage" it says on the packet. Well, after following the instructions, it did not cover grey growth at all. I have sparkling, translucent grey regrowth. I now have to dye my hair again with a different brand product. Such a waste of money and waste of my time, not to mention more chemicals in my hair than necessary. Totally disappointed.

For those who are complaining that the colour fades too fast, always wash your hair in cool water. Hot water makes colour fade away very quickly. Do not wash your hair for 72 hours after you box dye so the colours can set in properly. If you are unhappy with your result, don't forget to look behind the boxes where it shows the final result from your natural hair colour. If your hair had already been previously dyed, use a hair colour remover because you can't just colour over colour. Use Schwarzkopf hair oils because it makes your hair really s...
Read moreilky smooth and makes the colour a bit more vibrant. I had natural black hair and box dyed my hair 'Dark Brown Allure' from the Schwarzkopf Brilliance selection. I didn't like how it turned out because it was too dark because of my black hair so I used a hair colour remover and it made my hair a copper like colour. I then used red passion straight after. It was a little bit of a dark red after dying it but the next day it brightened up a bit more and now its a lovely wine red colour!Purchased in May 2020 at Chemist Warehouse for $8.99.
I specifically bought this because it states that it works on dark hair. My hair is dark brown and the colour made my hair darker and in the light it is red!!! It is not purple at all. Feeling frustrated because it’s so dark now I’m not going to be able to use another colour or anything to fix it. Now I’ve read reviews and people say it fades to red? Not looking forward to that.

Turned my hair black/dark cherry, opposed to violet purple like the packaging suggests. Very subtle as well. I have dark brown hair and the packaging said it work on black hair so I thought it would still show up well, but it didn't. Turned the ends of my hair virtually black as well when I was wanting it to be lighter! Don't recommend unless you want a subtle dark cherry colour.

After dyeing my hair with this, the colour was a beautiful rich dark red, and faded into my dark brown roots nicely after they started growing out. However, the colour faded very quickly after the first few weeks, and turned into a weird orange colour with red highlights. Although the initial colour was perfect its just faded far too quickly.

I just used Chocolate Rush and I am very happy with it. It is not aggressively red, does not look purple in the sunlight and covered all my grey perfectly. I only wash my hair once a week so colors last a while. My hair feels great and the color washed right off my skin. My hair was previously a darker shade so the result was a bit darker than I was going for but this will change as I use it more and I certainly will.

I have used this brand for years and used to recommend it to everyone but not anymore. I used it last month to cover grey regrowth and it started to burn my scalp but I stuck it out for 30 mins as advised. When I finished I noticed it has not taken in most of my grey areas! I was so disappointed. Anyway my daughter was dying her friends hair black (from blond) so I said try Schwarzkopf 8 wash. Again it didnt take! Whats happened to this company? I wont use them again.

Questions & Answers
What colour can put over chocolate rush don't like it
Why is this colour so difficult to get
Should the hair be washed prior to colouring
As no answer was supplied by Schwarzkopf I would give the company and products a minus 0
No! Do not wash your hair before application, this will make the colour wash out faster. It’s best to use the product on unwashed hair.
I’ve heard washing hair prior to coloring strips the hairs natural oils which helps protect it during the coloring process. I don’t unless there’s excess product build up.
