Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour + Lift - Tangerine Twist - L74

Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour + Lift is a permanent hair dye, meaning the colour is designed to last until your hair grows out or you re-dye it. The vibrancy will gradually fade over time, typically lasting several weeks to months with proper care.

Yes, but the result can vary depending on the existing colour and condition of your hair. We highly recommend performing a strand test to see how the Tangerine Twist shade will interact with your current colour before a full application.

Absolutely. A patch test 48 hours before colouring is essential to check for any allergic reactions. Even if you've used hair dye before, sensitivities can develop over time. Do not skip this step.

Typically, one box is sufficient for short to medium-length hair. If you have very long or thick hair, you may need two boxes to ensure full and even saturation.

The 'Colour + Lift' technology is designed to lighten hair during colouring. While it can add a vibrant orange to darker hair, the intensity of the lift and the final orange shade may be less dramatic than on lighter hair. A strand test will give you the best indication.

Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners, wash your hair with cooler water, and try to limit washing frequency. Protect your hair from excessive sun exposure and use heat protectant sprays when styling with heat.

If the colour is too light, it usually means the dye didn't develop for long enough or your hair wasn't porous enough to absorb the pigment effectively. You may consider re-dyeing after a few weeks, ensuring a thorough application and the correct development time, but always assess your hair's health first.

This can happen if the development time was too short, if your initial hair colour was very dark, or if the product wasn't applied evenly. Always perform a strand test to determine optimal timing. Ensure thorough saturation during application.

Uneven application is the most common cause. Make sure to section your hair properly and apply the dye methodically and thoroughly from roots to ends, ensuring every strand is saturated. Start application on the darkest or most resistant areas first.

Rinse the product off immediately with plenty of cool water. This could be a sign of sensitivity or an allergic reaction. If irritation persists or worsens, seek medical advice. This is why a 48-hour patch test is crucial.

For skin, try to wipe off immediately with a damp cloth or a dab of rubbing alcohol/hair dye stain remover. For clothing, rinse immediately with cold water. Prevention is key: always apply barrier cream around the hairline and wear old clothes/towels.

Permanent dyes are a chemical process. To mitigate dryness, use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask after rinsing the dye. Follow up with colour-safe, moisturising shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive heat styling immediately after colouring.
