Where's the colour?

After deciding I wanted my hair a light pink, i thought I'd try schwarzkopts strawberry platinum. I naturally have light blonde hair which on the packet this colour is highly recommended for. So I put on the colour and waited. My hair didn't seem to be changing so instead of leaving it on the max 45 minutes I kept it on there an extra 5 minutes. There was still know noticeable change but I decided to wash it off thinking I may see some change. So I washed it and blow dryed it and to my disappointed my hair was the exact same colour. It didn't do anything. Extremely disappointing.

Absolutely love, love, love this!! I can dye my hair mutiple times without really damaging it, the colour lasts longer than the 8 washes that the packet says so quite worth it for temp colour, I have bleached hair so I was surprised that it works well on

The best blonde toner

I used to love using the silver toner on my blonde hair because its extremely affordable and It saved me from going to the hairdressers and spending 10 times the amount, it worked really well and smelt so great. I even have used it a couple times just to freshen up my brown hair and it has turned out great!

fantastic

I have been using BLUEBRRY for many years and do not use any other hair colours. I love the colour and comments I get about my hair colour. I am 57 and greying, and now my grey hair takes on a purple colour, and I love it. So does my husband.

Bargain makeover

No damage at all.
I recently just tried the bright red and it brightened my hair by two shades and looks great, shiney too.
I was surprised. It stained my hair tho and is hard to get out.. Will defiantly use again

I dont think it even deserves 1 star

This didn't work at all!

I thought by buying this dye to dye my roots I would be saving money instead of buying a bigger dye for more money. Turns out I was wrong.

I am a natural blonde with dark brown dyed hair, my regrowth was getting a little bit long so I decided to buy it to try it out. I left it in while baking a batch of cookies (longer them the time said on the packet, but I didnt think that would matter)

I went to dye it out about 1 -2 hours later with all it did was just wash out my hair.

Very un-happy!

ehhh hit and miss

I like the fact that this doesn't damage your hair and can be left on for a long time but I find it washes out and fades after just a couple of washes which is a shame because it's otherwise a great product.

CANNOT DAMAGE HAIR. LEAVE IT ON FOR AGES.

Iv used 10 of these ,in different colors and the results are very surprising...
Coloring my hair just got cheaper.
Might lighten one shade but I find the reds are very long lasting,and kind of stained my hair..

Rich, Vibrant, Glossy Colours

I love the result I achieved with this product. I went from a coloured dark blonde to the Schwarzkopf Live Colour in dark brown. My hair was exactly the same shade as the box swatch. My hair colour was really vibrant, intense and super glossy.

Hit or miss

I've tried this product in a range of colours and I feel that the effect and intensity varies depending on the colour. For really vibrant colours, I rely on Fudge Paintbox colours, but for more subtle tones, this supermarket brand will do in a pinch.

Great colour

I first started using this product back when I was in high school because it was really great in giving a subtle change to my hair that didn't damage it.

The colour washes out after around 3 weeks or so, depending on what colour you use. I love the fact that every time I used this product, it would always leave my hair silky soft and smooth as if I had put a mask on it.

I highly recommend it if you are looking for a subtle change that won't damage your hair.

Super shine and kind to hair

Oh, Aztec Copper how I love thee...
I have dark brown hair with reddish tones and very fine coppery highlights and this live colour gives me lovely true red tones, not horrid blue based fake looking ones. Since you need to refresh all red dyes on a pretty regular basis, there is nothing lost in using one that washes more easily, and your hair will love how gentle it is - plus, no risk of colour build up!

Fun colour selection

Me and my friends used to use this all the time, it's so cheap and comes in a great variety of shades. The colours actually show up really well though not always what you'd expect, my friend who is naturally white blonde tried the aztec copper and it turned her hair pink.. Still it's a fun way to experiment with new colours without forking out a lot of money only to be disappointed and find a particular colour doesn't suit you. Plus it only lasts about a week so if you don' like the colour you wont need to wait long for it to wash out.

Good at first

I used the blueberry colour from this range and found it to be rather disappointing. I have brown hair with bleached streaks in my hair and this didn't react well with the bleached streaks. This made it look very strange and the only good part was that it didn't last too long.

disapointed

Shwarckoff hair dyes really don't work for me. I have tried it many times, once it burnt my hair, the other times it didn't actually even dye my hair at all. Even though I won this in their comptition and they sent it to my house for free I still am not a fan.

Excellent!

I often bleach and dye my hair all different shades of blondes, so i buy the Silver Toner to remove any brassy colours from my hair. It works so well, it's the only toner i buy and i've tried and tested countless brands! It works so quickly and is so cheap! It's easy and it lasts longer than many others.

Fun to experiment!

This product is ideal if you want to experiment with different hair colours. Simply last up to about 1 week in my hair before its starts to fade out, although the packaging says differently. I found it added a healthy shine but recommend using a leave in conditioner treatment as it can leave your hair feeling dry.

Not worth it

I have used this to dye both my own hair and someone else's, and I can honestly say don't waste your money! It's not all that much money to shell out, but there are much better products out there in the price range. I found the colour drab and patchy, and it also made the hair very dry, straw-like and lacking any sort of radiance. I would not touch this product again.

Nice, Strong, SHINE!!

Nice for a quick colour change. I feel after using this my hair is stronger, and is definitely way more shinier. It is radiant and I get subtle highlights, even on my naturally black hair. But they didn't really give me results, and do not use this after bleaching your hair!!

great colour with no side effects

I have been usingtheese for years to give my colour a bit of a quick pick me up. I have used permanent colour for years but find it can be quite damaging if I use them all the time so I use the live colours for a quick colour touch up when mine is growing out or fading and it is like a conditioning treatment at the same time.

Live Colour (semi-permanent)

I tried the Blueberry, although it doesn't come out the same colour as on the packet, it did come out purple. It is good when you want a change of colour but don't want it to last forever, or have to deal with re-growth. I have just below shoulder length, thick hair and find I need two packets because the dye is quite thick, it has the consistency of a paste, and is hard to get through my hair. It is a good buy for under five dollars, seeing as it leaves hair soft and you have a new you. It is great for a teenager on a budget.

Good Silver Toner

I use the Silver Toner in this range, to tone my blonde hair and get ride of all the yellow and brassiness. It is brilliant, one of the best toners I have ever used. One packet is all I need, even though I have long hair. I leave it on for 10 minutes as I have dark blonde hair. It makes my hair silky and smooth. Plus no more orange or brassiness. Recommended for all blondes.

BEST SILVER TONER

I used to have hair light ash blonde. I would bleach my roots then put live silver toner on them after. always got asked how i got my hair so light all the time.! must warn you tho u must time how long you have the toner in for, other wise it will go purple. also if u put it on the ends of blonde hair it does grab the colour quick!!!

if your hair does go purple i found washing ur hair a few times does help.

BEST SILVER TONER KNOWN TO WOMANKIND

Many many many toners have passed through my bottle-blonde strands. This has been the best, usually I buy 4 or 5 at a time because at $4.39, when they're on special at Safeway it's AWESOME, usually around $3. I stockpile them like treasure and use one about a week or so after I have my roots redone, then again when I'm hanging out for the hairdresser again as it blends in the regrowth nicely too.

I tried because it was cheap and it turned out to be so. The color doesnt wash off completely even after 3 or 4 washes. Stains the towels, shower curtains, clothes. The result is no good either, made my hair dry, lifeless. You would get a better product for 10 or 12 dollars more.

Coloured collars and pillow cases.

While these colours are good for brightening and adding depth-of-colour for the short-term I prefer a long-lasting semi that won't stain my shirt collars and pillow cases. This product washes out very quickly, every time you shampoo more colour runs down the drain so it can be a bit messy. As I have fine hair that gets a little greasy and lank if I don't wash it atleast every second day for me this isn't the best colour choice. Would probably be more suited to someone with thicker hair that needs a conditioning shot but doesn't need to wash too often.

Beautiful shades

I have thigh length hair, and Permanent colour takes years to grow out. I use this as a way to colour my hair and get great results. The colour washes out after a few washes but it is vibrant while it lasts, and this way I get healthy natural hair, in a variety of colours when I want it. Easy to apply by oneself at home with very little mess (if I can do it with thigh length hair, anyone can do it :) )
