FAQs

Is Schwarzkopf LIVE Steel Cool Lilac 104 a permanent hair dye?

No, Schwarzkopf LIVE Steel Cool Lilac 104 is a semi-permanent hair colour. This means the colour will gradually wash out over several shampoos, offering less commitment than a permanent dye.

Can I use this product on dark brown or black hair?

For best and most vibrant results, this product is recommended for light blonde or pre-lightened hair. On dark hair, the Steel Cool Lilac shade may not be visible or will only offer a very subtle tint due to insufficient lifting power for dark bases.

How long does the colour typically last?

The longevity of the colour varies depending on your hair's porosity, washing frequency, and hair care routine. Generally, semi-permanent colours last several washes, gradually fading to a lighter pastel before disappearing.

Do I need to bleach my hair before using this product?

If your hair is not already light blonde, pre-lightening or bleaching is recommended to achieve the vibrant Steel Cool Lilac result. While the product has a lifting action, it's optimized for already blonde hair to enhance the pastel pigments.

How many boxes of Schwarzkopf LIVE Steel Cool Lilac 104 do I need?

The number of boxes required depends on your hair's length and thickness. For short to medium hair, one box is usually sufficient. For long or very thick hair, you may need two or more boxes to ensure full and even saturation.

Can I mix Steel Cool Lilac 104 with other hair dye colours?

It is generally not recommended to mix hair dye products unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer or a professional. Mixing can lead to unpredictable colour results or chemical reactions. Stick to using Steel Cool Lilac 104 as intended for its unique shade and lifting properties.

Troubleshooting

Colour appears too subtle or didn't take.

The initial hair colour might not have been light enough. Schwarzkopf LIVE Steel Cool Lilac 104 performs best on light blonde or pre-lightened hair. For a more vibrant result, consider pre-lightening your hair further before reapplication, or ensure even saturation during application.

Uneven colour result or patchiness.

This often occurs due to uneven application. Ensure the product is distributed thoroughly and evenly across all sections of your hair, from roots to ends. Consider using a tint brush and sectioning clips for precise application.

Colour fades too quickly.

Semi-permanent colours naturally fade. To prolong vibrancy, use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners, wash with cool water, reduce the frequency of washing, and minimize heat styling. Avoid clarifying shampoos as they can strip colour faster.

Hair feels dry or damaged after use.

While Schwarzkopf LIVE Steel Cool Lilac 104 lifts and colours, any lightening process can impact hair. Ensure you follow with a deep conditioning treatment. Use hydrating, repair-focused hair masks regularly and limit other chemical treatments or excessive heat styling.

Allergic reaction or scalp irritation.

Immediately rinse the product from your hair and scalp with plenty of water. If irritation persists or worsens, seek medical advice. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each application to minimize this risk.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Vibrant, Trendy Colour: Delivers a striking Steel Cool Lilac shade that is currently very fashionable.
Blonde Lifting Action: Unique 2-in-1 formula brightens your blonde while colouring, optimizing the final result.
Semi-Permanent Flexibility: Allows for color experimentation without a long-term commitment; color will gradually fade.
Suitable for Blonde Hair: Specifically formulated to show vividly on light blonde or pre-lightened hair.

Cons

Fades Over Time: As a semi-permanent colour, it will not last indefinitely and requires reapplication to maintain vibrancy.
Best on Light Hair: Optimal results are achieved on blonde or pre-lightened hair; may not be visible on darker hair.
Careful Application Needed: Uneven application can lead to patchy results, especially with lifting agents involved.
Potential for Uneven Lift: Depending on existing hair condition and color, the lifting action might be inconsistent if not applied correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

Read the Instructions: Always begin by carefully reading the full instruction leaflet included in your product packaging. It contains precise details specific to Schwarzkopf LIVE Steel Cool Lilac 104.
Perform a Patch Test: At least 48 hours before application, conduct an allergy patch test. Apply a small amount of the mixed product to a discreet area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner elbow). Do not apply if irritation occurs.
Perform a Strand Test: To predict the final color result and development time, apply the product to a small, hidden section of hair. This helps ensure you achieve your desired shade.
Prepare Your Hair: For best results, apply to clean, dry hair unless specified otherwise in the product leaflet. Do not shampoo immediately before applying if your scalp is sensitive.
Application: Always wear the gloves provided. > Info needed: Specific mixing instructions and application method (e.g., roots first, whole head, specific timing). Follow the detailed instructions on how to mix the colorant and developer, and how to apply it evenly to your hair, ensuring full saturation.
Development Time: > Info needed: Recommended development time. Adhere strictly to the recommended development time as indicated in the instruction leaflet to achieve the Steel Cool Lilac shade and the desired lift. Do not exceed the maximum time.
Rinse and Condition: Once the development time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow with the conditioner provided, if any, or a color-safe conditioner.

Compatibility

Best On: Light blonde, bleached, or pre-lightened hair. The lighter your starting blonde, the truer and more vibrant the Steel Cool Lilac result will be.
Not Recommended On: Dark brown or black hair without significant pre-lightening. The lifting action is optimized for blonde hair and may not be effective enough on very dark bases.
Previously Coloured Hair: If your hair has been previously coloured, perform a strand test to see how the Steel Cool Lilac 104 interacts with existing dyes. Results may vary.

Care Instructions

Use Colour-Safe Products: Always use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for coloured hair to help maintain vibrancy and prevent premature fading.
Wash with Cool Water: Rinse your hair with cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can open the hair cuticle and cause colour to fade more quickly.
Limit Washing: Extend the time between washes by using dry shampoo to keep your hair fresh. The less you wash, the longer your semi-permanent colour will last.
Avoid Excessive Heat Styling: High heat from styling tools can strip colour. Use heat protectants and minimize the use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers.
Protect from Sun: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade hair colour. Consider wearing a hat or using UV-protective hair products when outdoors for extended periods.
