Schwarzkopf Live Urban Metallics Permanent Hair Dye - Midnight Jade

As a permanent hair dye, the color is designed to last until your hair grows out or is re-dyed. However, some fading will naturally occur over time, typically becoming noticeable after 4-6 weeks, depending on your hair care routine and frequency of washing.

For the most vibrant and true-to-shade metallic green result, especially if you have dark hair, pre-lightening (bleaching) your hair is highly recommended. On darker bases, the color may appear as a subtle tint or a darker shade of green without pre-lightening.

Yes, you can use it on previously colored hair. However, the final result may vary depending on your current hair color and its condition. A strand test is highly recommended to predict the outcome and ensure compatibility.

Try to wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth or a cotton pad soaked in a mild astringent or rubbing alcohol (test on a small area first). Applying petroleum jelly to your hairline and ears before dyeing can help prevent staining.

To maintain vibrancy, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners, wash with cool water less frequently, limit heat styling, and protect your hair from direct sun exposure. Deep conditioning treatments can also help keep your hair healthy and retain color.

Schwarzkopf Live Urban Metallics Green is formulated for adults and generally suitable for most hair types. However, results can vary based on hair porosity, texture, and previous chemical treatments. Always perform a strand test.

The 'Urban Metallics' designation indicates that the dye imparts a unique, high-shine, and somewhat reflective finish to the color, giving it a modern, edgy, and slightly shimmering appearance, distinct from a flat or matte color.

This often happens if your hair was too dark before application. For best vibrant, metallic results, hair needs to be pre-lightened to a very light blonde or platinum. Consider consulting a professional for safe pre-lightening if you wish to achieve a brighter shade. Uneven application can also cause this; ensure full saturation.

Ensure you are using color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid hot water when washing your hair, limit frequent washing, and protect your hair from excessive sun exposure and heat styling. Chlorine and saltwater can also accelerate fading. Re-evaluate your hair care routine.

This typically occurs due to uneven application. Ensure hair is sectioned thoroughly before applying, and that the product is distributed evenly from roots to ends. Make sure all strands are fully saturated with the dye mixture. Hair porosity differences can also play a role; damaged or overly porous areas may absorb more color.

Stop use immediately and rinse thoroughly. Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe or persist. This highlights the critical importance of performing the patch test 48 hours before every application, even if you've used hair dye before.
