FAQs
Is Schwarzkopf Live Intense Colour suitable for all hair types?
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.
How long does the color typically last?
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.
Can I use this product if I have previously colored my hair?
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.
Will this hair dye cover grey hair effectively?
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.
How do I correctly perform a patch test?
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.
What should I do if the color is too dark or too light?
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.
Troubleshooting
Color did not turn out as expected.
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.
Experienced itching or redness after applying the product.
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.
Hair color appears uneven.
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.
Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring.
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.
Product ran out before full coverage.
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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Perform a Patch Test: Absolutely essential. Apply a tiny amount of the mixed product behind your ear or on your inner elbow 48 hours before full application to check for allergic reactions. Do not proceed if irritation occurs.
Conduct a Strand Test: Apply the mixture to a small, hidden section of hair to preview the color result and determine the optimal development time. This helps avoid unexpected outcomes.
Prepare Your Workspace: Cover surfaces with old towels or newspaper to protect against spills. Wear the gloves provided.
Hair Preparation: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed. This helps with color absorption.
Mix: Combine the color cream and developer bottle according to the instructions in the product leaflet. Shake well until fully mixed.
Application
Apply: Apply the mixture to your hair, starting at the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure even saturation. For long hair, sectioning can aid in even application.
Develop: Leave the color on for the time recommended in the instruction leaflet, as determined by your strand test.
Rinse & Condition: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Then, apply the included conditioner, leave it on for the recommended time, and rinse again.
Compatibility
This product is designed for adult use (`age_group: adult`).
It is generally compatible with most hair types, but the final color result will be influenced by your natural hair color, any previous chemical treatments, and hair porosity.
As a permanent dye, it creates a long-lasting change, so consider your commitment before application.
Care
Color-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for color-treated hair to help maintain vibrancy and prevent premature fading.
Temperature Control: Avoid washing hair with excessively hot water, which can strip color. Opt for lukewarm water.
Limit Heat Styling: Reduce the use of heat styling tools or apply a heat protectant spray when necessary.
UV Protection: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade hair color. Consider using hair products with UV filters or wearing a hat outdoors.
