Wow. I dnt mind that at all for a conditioning semi permamanant. I was feeling drab with my natural grey hair so cut it and put this cool grey in. So shiny. Feels great. Very happy. Show details

Terrible – Used a whole bottle on bleach blonde hair, I have thin mid length hair and 1 bottle was plenty, left in for full 30 minutes, did absolutely nothing except now my hair has a weird green tinge to it. Don’t waste your money!!!!! Show details

This is the perfect toner for when you are growing out your hair to grey – I didnt know what to expect when I bought Cool Grey Pastel. I had one third grey regrowth, one third light brass old colour and one third old caramel colour. It looked awful but I didnt want a permanent colour or anything with bleach. This product toned everything down and I have absolutely no lines between colours, it has blended to a beautiful… Read more

ash blonde. No staining, no smell. WOW. Will do this every 5-6 wks till its completely grey and then I will use some silver highlight rinse. Highly recommend for this purpose.

Worked perfectly as I wanted – After reading the negative reviews about people’s hair turning green using this colour I was slightly concerned but as blue cancels out orange tones I presumed it would work on my level 9ish slightly getting too brassy roots. Having used the Schwarzkopf silver box colour dozens of times preciously which is lighter purple I was worried but I… Read more

needed a darker more blue base to tone. It did an excellent job of toning and I pulled through the rest of my almost platinum level 10ish hair for the last few minutes. I have experienced green tinged hair many times. Blue and yellow make green. This is an ash/blue base so it cancels out orangey tones. Also if hair is already trashed from bleaching it will soak it up and more light give an uneven result. It also may not have worked if I had just bleached my roots and sometimes they don’t absorb colour well straight after lightening. I also did a clarifying shampoo and let that sit in for a couple of minutes prior to towel drying and painted the roots. I used half a tube and left it in for 30 minutes. Next time I would leave it in a little longer as I don’t mind a more ashy root and then pull an inch down for the last ten minutes and then comb through for a minute or two. I’m very happy with the colour, it did exactly what I needed which was to tone and blend a brassy inch wide demarcation band from my last bleach which didn’t go light enough.

Using two packs of Schwarzkopf cool grey – I used two packs of the cool grey hair colour, and waited thirty minutes before I washed it out....and nothing, it just washed out, and none of the hair colour remained, I was very disappointed Show details

Absolute crap – Every time I have bought a box of live to give myself a hair change, they’ve never worked. Not a single sachet of colour. I have super light blonde hair so they should allllll work right? Wrong. Do not buy any live hair colour. Unless you want to pay $20 just like I did, to wash your own hair. My hair should be a light blue/ lavender. First photo… Read more

was yesterday and the second was today. What a crock. After that I tried grey! Hoping it would do something else. Nope. I’m done with this company.

Damaging hair – I tried it first on a hair lock - thank god, it totally damaged my hair. Felt like a straw. Didn't change a color at all. I don't recommend this product at all. Avoid it.

Disgusting! Did my hair bright green – First time use and I wash my hair ones a week, my hair was super dry like dehydrated so this is never a conditioner impossible to brush or straight my hair like that and leave me with the worse color green ever like baby green bright poo And leave me feeling nauseous and sad desperate! Show details

Amazing – It worked perfectly on my hair - no green tinge, no dry hair, just a beautiful cool grey/ash blonde - it's not quite like on the box, but I didn't expect it to be. I had blonde foils put in 2 weeks ago with a grey toner, but the toner doesn't last in my hair any longer than a few days and I can't afford to go back to the hairdressers every week - this does exactly the same thing and only costs $5 - love it! Show details

Absolutely Terrible! – My bleached hair turned bright green using the cool grey! It’s terrible!! I’ve washed it twice and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. And it really dries out your hair! Worst product ever!!

WARNING- This Product Stains – After using colour on hair I was left with green stained hair on my highlighted ends which I had to cut off. Terrible product! Misleading and false. Never Again! I have dark coloured hair and bleached highlights and was looking forward to seeing the similar results as the pic on the box. Dissatisfied customer.

Horrible – Turned my hair bright green, I want my money back! Don’t use this, complete waste of time. Also really dried out my hair, felt like grass! Obviously I will not be purchasing again.

Green hair! – Like others this turned my hair blue-green! To get the colour out I washed it with anti-dandruff and clarifying shampoos 4-5 times. It's still sort of there but my hair looks relatively normal. I think for this to work at all your hair must be pure white, not platinum blonde. I'm guessing it has a blue base and any touch of yellow in your… Read more

hair will turn it green.

I had high hopes for this since I absolutely love the Live Silver Toner... really scary and disappointing.

Perfect if you want to destroy your hair and turn it bluish Green – Absolutely the biggest wrought worse product I've ever used turned my hair from a beautiful heavily bleached pale blonde to an awful bluish greenish colour on my roots and took away the shine and beautifulness of the bleached blonde terrible product never recommend it. I also phoned the company and all they said to wash it out with bicarb soda and… Read more

shampoo which didn't work anyway and then told me they would send me a voucher for a replacement of the same product do not buy this product

Not like the colour before and after on the box – Bleached my hair pale yellow as I want to go silver. The pack shows that yellow hair will turn silver grey. I left it on for maximum time but it only slightly toned away the yellow. Definitely not grey in colour. Misleading.

Terrible, went green – I used the cool grey colour and left it in for the recommended amount of time, then washed it and it turned like a turquoise green, don't think I would buy this product again :(

Awful! – My hair is heavily bleached and I thought i could achieve a grey tone - I used this for half the time it recommended as I was in a rush and ended up with a greenish blue on my ends that literally lasted weeks - it looked horrible and I will never go near this product again!

This was a total waste of money and my time – Extremely disappointed with this product. Did not work on my bleached hair I will not try any more of this products because of the bad result I got with the cool grey

Worked on my ends but not the regrowth!! – I have platinum blonde hair and I did my regrowth and decided to use the cool Grey to do a all over tone, it only did the ends and not my regrowth! Won't blend! The rest I'm happy with but what am I to do with the roots now?!

Cool Grey toner is LIFE – I've tried almost every toner on my blonde hair to get it to a dark chrome colour, and the ONLY product that gives me the desired result is the Cool Grey toner (the silver one is good but better for a clean blonde). It leaves me with a beautiful steel colour that I love. The pastel range is great too, specially the pastel purple
