Schwarzkopf Live Brillance Questions & Answers

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.

I recently did a strand test using L’Oreal Colorista Blonde Bleach and the Violet Vision and for the first time ever it actually came out like it was supposed to. Now I never apply it over dark hair as mine use to come out more like a black cherry color.

I know how you feel, I wanted blue black but could never see any blue in my hair. And all the purple based shades came out red which annoyed the hell out of me.

No, it’s supposed to be Semi-Permanent. So it should have lasted eight weeks at least. I honest tried this colour and for me it didn’t come out, I tried two different shades of the colour I wanted and neither came out, I personally wouldn’t recommend this brand in hair dye unless maybe you wanted black, brown or blonde they might would for that. The colour actually has stayed in my hair just a little longer then 8 weeks though so I don’t know what went wrong there...

Please tell me where I can find 'Semi -Permanent' on the Box, clearly say's permanent, mine lasted 3 washes, so about a week, I have no problem with getting the colour it looked great when I first did it, but now how washed out back to a gold colour.
Just need to know what needs to be done to my hair to make it stay.
Thanks

Yes, you are quite right Sandy it is indeed a permanent color.

I dyed my hair with Dark Amethyst and it went black. I previously had dyed it red on my natural brown which washed out and faded. I had a feeling it would turn black.

I used Clairol Color Crave Indigo over Schwartzkoph Nordic Blonde and it went a dark blue with purple hues, very noticeable in the sunlight.

Hi Leonie, sorry to hear about your situation. My daughter had the exact same thing happen and they were trying to blame us saying that it was my daughter's hair that was the problem and that they had never heard of their colour's bleeding and staining the towels....I called their customer enquiries and had a discussion with a staff member there who eventually hung up on me because I questioned her qualifications. She was a former hairdresser but was trying to give me a made up scientific explanation about the colour running and I asked to speak to someone involved in manufacturing and she got offended. GOOD LUCK..

I can appreciate your frustration having experienced the same results with that product. I can only assume since Schwarzkopf is not concerned with their inferior product, just do what I have done 'Don't Buy Schwarzkopf'

Fudge is very good if you want purple hair, It may cost more but totally worth the money. I would call them they should have a number on the packet. They should easily give your money back.
