Schwarzkopf Live Color Rich Burgundy

That’s orange – I have previously used shocking pink on my grey hair, and yes it washes out quickly because grey doesn’t have the same pigment as natural coloured hair. Thinking I’d like a change, I chose rich burgundy. Shock, horror it turned out orange. I had to use Scott Cornwell’s Orange decolour to drop the colour to a washed out looking chestnut.

much better, and it will wash out soon. Looking at some of the reviews, I wonder if Schwarzkopf have changed their formula.

Rich Burgundy it is NOT! – Rich Burgundy it is NOT. It’s orange since when is Burgundy orange? It’s coloured my lighter hair orange and left the rest of my hair a strange muddy brown colour. This product is not how it used to be. I’ll have to somehow wash it out before I go back to work on Tuesday. Show details

Disappointed – The semi permanent ‘burgundy’ in tube (up to 12 washes) is copper red/ orange and not burgundy. Your 6 to 8 washes product in burgundy was perfect and true to colour but no longer available. Show details

Col our change – I have used rich burgundy color in my hair for as long as I can remember( more than 20 years I would guess ) and never had a problem. Since it has gone to the bigger tubes the color has changed and instead of a lovely rich burgundy, I am left with a horrible orange. I have bought 3 different packets and am very disappointed. Show details

Bright clown orange not burgundy – I have dark blonde hair, but my hair came out a hideous unnatural vivid orange. I followed the instructions exactly. The image on the box was a lovely purple burgundy, with no hint of orange tones, so my hands shouldn't have stained orange and neither should my hair. It was so bad, I wouldn't go outside until I had fixed it. I won't be trying any of their other products. Show details

Not burgundy but fire engine red – My hair was light blonde on top and dark blonde underneath. It didn’t touch the dark blonde and my light blonde hair turned fire engine red NOT burgundy at all. Show details

Use 2 packets for longer hair – I have light brown hair with natural blonde highlights and I used the rich burgundy and my hair had no difference apart from a few strands at the front that had a small red tinge when the light caught it. It did not cover my entire hair either with one packet. If you have hair past your shoulders or it is thick, use two or more packets as each pack has very very little product.

Burgundy=pink? – My roots are blonde and very grown out while the rest is a brown. From the very start my roots were pink and after fading for about 3-4 weeks they're STILL pink. I exceeded 8 washes and my hair is still so coloured
