Schwarzkopf Live Intense Hair Dye - Brown - 089

While generally suitable for most hair types, the final color outcome can vary significantly based on your hair's natural color, texture, and porosity. We highly recommend performing a strand test to anticipate the result on your specific hair.

Schwarzkopf Live Intense Colour is a permanent hair dye, meaning the color will not wash out. It will gradually fade over time, and new hair growth will appear at the roots. The longevity of vibrancy can be extended with proper color-safe hair care products.

Yes, you can. However, any existing color in your hair will influence the final result. For the best outcome and to manage expectations, a strand test is strongly recommended before full application.

Info needed: Specific details regarding grey hair coverage are not provided in the product description. Generally, permanent hair dyes offer some level of grey coverage, but effectiveness can vary. Please consult the product leaflet for precise guidance.

Apply a small, mixed amount of the product to a clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner elbow. Leave it uncovered for 48 hours without washing or disturbing. If any redness, itching, swelling, or irritation occurs, do not use the product and seek medical advice.

If the color is too dark, you might consider using a color remover product (follow their specific instructions carefully) or waiting for it to fade naturally over time. If it's too light, you may re-color with a darker shade, but always prioritize hair health and wait a suitable period between chemical treatments. A strand test is crucial to avoid such issues.

Ensure you performed a strand test beforehand to predict the result. The final color is heavily influenced by your original hair color, hair condition, and processing time. Always follow development times precisely.

Immediately rinse the product off thoroughly with water and seek medical attention. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before use to check for potential allergic reactions. Do not re-use if a reaction occurred.

Ensure even application from roots to tips. For long or thick hair, sectioning your hair thoroughly before application is crucial. If re-applying, focus carefully on the lighter or untreated areas, but be cautious of over-processing.

Utilize the included nourishing conditioner generously after coloring. Incorporate regular deep conditioning treatments or hair masks into your routine. Avoid over-processing by strictly adhering to the recommended development times.

For very long, thick, or highly porous hair, it is often recommended to purchase two boxes of hair dye to ensure complete and even saturation. It's always better to have extra than to run out mid-application.
