I went bold and picked shocking pink. I naturally have red hair and only wanted a faded ombre look, I'm fairly happy with how the colour came out. Not all the product was used. Product received in exchange for review Show details
It was beige what the actual. Just useless product and they have lost a customer. Brites never fails me. Stupid me for changing brands Show details
Left on previously bleached light blonde hair for 30 minutes before rinsing out. Zero colour change to hair. Absolute waste of money. Show details

One happy 12yr old – Daughter on school holidays and asked for me to do pink in her hair. Her hair is brown (never been coloured or bleached ever). And told her the rinse will most likely do nothing. Anyway we tried…just on the ends like she wanted and I left it on for 30min wrapped in a foil ponytail. Well a tonne washed out and I was sure it didn’t work. Until I… Read more
blowdried her hair and saw the smile on her face. IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! I was 99% sure it wasn’t going too. It’s not pink….more magenta due to her brown hair I think. But she is over the moon.
False advertising and a complete joke – Absolutely awful. Used this product all the time for years and was always great and exactly like the hot pink on the box. Tried it again after a years break. Dreadful. False advertising completely. It's turned my newly bleached blonde hair to a dirty blonde colour and half of it ran out after a couple of washes. Complete waste of money. Show details
Terrible – Terrible!! Was a wishy-washy light rose pink colour, and I left it on for 35 minutes! I had bright blonde bleached hair and it still didn't turn out. I use to use this brand around 4 years ago and it was great! But they must have changed the ingredients because it's utter rubbish now. Don't waste your money. Show details
shocking pink having the wrong type of pink in the tube – the colour is fantastic when it does come in the right colour. This past year everytime I buy the colour shocking pink from this brand it’s never the colour that’s shown on the box. It’s a light pale pink which doesn’t colour change or work at all. before I used to wear the pink normally that’s in it and it’s amazing but this year with this colour… Read more
has really disappointed me. I hope there is a change, because everytime I buy the box and the wrong type of pink is in it I have to call them and get them to send me a new box with the right colour but having to wait 2-4 weeks just to get it is ridiculous.
Waste of Time – Used a whole bottle of the pink semi permanent on the ends of my daughters long blond hair for an ombre look, it showed up as a light dark red & came out as soon as she went in the pool. So we tried the purple permanent for the same concept & it did absolutely nothing, the very tips of her hair went a bit grey. So disappointing & a waste of time & money! Show details
didn’t do anything – medium blonde hair, left it on around 15 or so minutes, did literally nothing. all it did was waste time Show details
Rubbish product – I followed the instructions to the T with this stuff and there was no noticeable difference to my hair at all, even the darkest colors didn't stay in my hair at all. I don't know how they get away with selling this product, it does not do what it claims to do on the packaging. Show details
Didn't take, even on bleached hair – I used to use this product a few years back with no issues, but I'm guessing they changed the ingredients as it no longer works, even on bleched hair, just turned it a slightly pink shade of orange... Show details
It didn’t work ? – It was a pastel colour in the tube. Left it on for 35 minutes and it did absolutely nothing. Total waste of money Show details
Fabulous !!! – This was awesome. We used it on our daughters dark blonde hair (the ends) using foils. Left it on for 30-45min. Also I applied the dye on dry, unwashed hair, maybe that made a difference? Show details

Leaves no color – Left in for an hour because previously it didn't work and I have white blonde hair and it did ZERO, NOTHING. Waste of money. Show details
Save your money – This is the worst hair dye I have ever used in my 18 years of existence. Don’t buy it and save your money because it literally doesn’t have any pigment and it’s just so bad. Like I would rather walk on hot concrete with broken glass shards everywhere than ever use this product again. I have never hated a product so much before. Show details
Waste of time and money – I used this on my blonde daughter's hair today and it did nothing. We left it on for 30 mins and her hair feels and smells nice but there was no pink at all. If anything her hair is a darker dirty blonde but there's not even a faint pink tint to her hair. Save your money and buy something else. Show details
Horrible reaction – I kid you not, my hair started smoking as soon as I finished applying it. SMOKING! I thought my eyes were tricking me, but after a few minutes I realised it was in fact smoking and was warm to touch. I immediatly washed it out, resulting in patchy, uneven to non existant colour and burnt smelling hair. My hair honestly still smells like a hot iron… Read more
even after washing it. I have no idea why this happened.. maybe the dye reacted with my shampoo (because it says to wash your hair first and then apply it to towel dried hair), or I had been to the hairdressers 2 weeks prior for highlights and maybe dyed over it too soon? I feel like my reaction to it is pretty bazzar and probably wont happen to you- but jeez that was scary!! I will 100% never be using this product or brand again!! I will stick with getting pop colours at my hairdressers.
Schwarzkopf is more than welcome to contact me about this!!
Did not last – Colour mostly washed away in initial rinse. Left with slight pink tinge only when dried. Colour was left on for 25minutes (from end of application), hair was clean and light to medium blonde. Lucky it was a cheap product. Show details
Love this stuff – I used intense cocoa and it makes my hair shine and look so healthy. Will not use any other over the counter hair dyes again. My skin didnt get real stained at all. When I wiped it came off. I love this product Show details
I've never been more ashamed to walk out in public – It turned my hair brown green it look very bad I dislike it so much I just want my money back, false advertising I hate it so much just horrible DO NOT purchase anything from live color Show details
Terrible, would not recommend – It put the hair dye in my brunnet hair and left it in for 30 minutes and then washed my hair (as directed on packaging). The next day I went for a swim and the product washed out completely. The colour did not last at all. The packaging stated it would last for 8 washes but it did not last 2. Very disappointed, and I would not recommend this product to anyone else.
Not as lasting as some semi permanent colours – I bought this to use on my daughters hair for a dress up day at school. It worked on her dark blonde hair with natural blonde hightlights but wasn’t as bright pink as I thought it might of been after leaving it on for 30 mins. Also 80% of it washed out after swimming lessons two days later so that was a bonus as I thought she would have it in for weeks. Didn’t stain her clothing or bedding so would definitely use it again.
Great bright color! but lasts way longer than 8 washes – This is a great color and comes out exactly the color of the model on the box, however for that bright a color, it will not wash out after 8 washes. This can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for. If you want a color that stays in your hair but fades just a little to a mid pink, it could be good. Next time if I use this I would… Read more
probably mix it with conditioner so it can fade after a while more quickly and leave it on for a lesser time. (I left it on for aout 25 minutes). It says you can leave the dye on for about 2 minutes for a pastel pink, on blonde hair. When I used this it was on dark blonde hair - it will not work on dark hair. When I wanted to get rid of the pink I just bleached it out, which was very easy. These packs are also so inexpensive which is great and allows you to get creative with multiple colors if you have blonde hair.
Good Products for my needs – Love these affordable dyes. I have short hair bleached nearly to white and I have dyed my hair with half a dozen of these products. Lovely bright colours even when diluted with conditioner (this helps application and gets two uses for me out of each tube). I always take the colour out when I rebleach my hair. I use this product because other… Read more
dyes don't come out properly with the bleach. The colour definitely fades from washing but it would not come totally out of my hair just from washing.
I'd suggest that other reviewers do not have pre lightened hair which is why it won't stick or be seen.
