Schwarzkopf Live Intense Colour - Cosmic Blue

No, this product is specially formulated for dark hair and includes a built-in vibrancy serum that lightens and colors in one step, so pre-bleaching is generally not required to achieve a bold blue.

Schwarzkopf Live Intense Colour 090 Cosmic Blue is a permanent hair dye. While it is fade-resistant, permanent colors will gradually fade over time and your natural root growth will become visible, requiring touch-ups.

Results can vary on previously colored hair. It's always recommended to perform a strand test to see how the color will take on your specific hair. If your hair is heavily processed or has very dark existing dye, consult the instruction leaflet or a professional.

To help preserve the vibrancy of your Cosmic Blue, it's recommended to limit hair washing to 2-3 times a week, using color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Washing with cool water also helps seal the cuticle and lock in color.

Wipe off any dye from your skin immediately with a damp cloth. For prevention, apply petroleum jelly around your hairline, ears, and neck before starting the dyeing process.

Yes, while the product information indicates `gender: "Female"`, hair dye is a cosmetic product and can be used by anyone, regardless of gender, who wishes to achieve the Cosmic Blue shade on suitable hair types.

If you experience any itching, burning, or redness during or after application, rinse immediately and thoroughly. Seek medical attention and remember to perform the mandatory allergy patch test 48 hours before *every* application to avoid such reactions.

Ensure you performed a strand test to predict the final color. Uneven application or incorrect development time are common causes. Ensure hair is completely saturated and development time is strictly followed. Hair porosity and previous treatments also impact the final shade. For significant issues, consult a professional colorist.

Thoroughly rinse your hair until the water runs clear and always use the conditioning treatment provided. For ongoing care, use deep conditioning masks and color-safe moisturizing products. Avoid excessive heat styling and limit washing to preserve moisture.

Apply petroleum jelly to your hairline, ears, and neck before application. Wear gloves during the entire process. If skin is stained, gently wipe immediately with a damp cloth or a dab of toner. For surfaces, wipe immediately with an appropriate cleaner.

Immediately rinse your hair and scalp thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not attempt to reapply the dye. Seek medical attention immediately. This highlights the absolute necessity of performing a patch test 48 hours prior to every application.

Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Wash hair with cool water. Limit washing frequency. Protect hair from excessive sun exposure (UV rays) and chlorine/saltwater. Avoid high heat styling, and always use a heat protectant.
