FAQs

How long will the Urban Brown 088 color last?

Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL HD Intense Colour is a permanent hair dye, meaning the color will last until your hair grows out or you choose to re-color it. Its HD Colour Technology is designed for long-lasting vibrancy.

Can I use this product on previously colored hair?

Yes, you can use it on previously colored hair. However, the final result may vary depending on your current hair color and its condition. We recommend performing a strand test first to see how the Urban Brown 088 shade will appear on your hair.

Is this hair dye suitable for covering gray hair?

Yes, as a permanent hair dye, Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL HD Intense Colour is generally effective at covering gray hair, providing a rich, even Urban Brown 088 shade.

How do I perform the mandatory patch test?

Detailed instructions for performing the patch test are included in the product packaging. Always follow these instructions carefully, applying a small amount of the dye mixture to a clean area of skin behind your ear or on your inner elbow 48 hours before full application. Do not proceed if you experience any reaction.

Can men use this Schwarzkopf hair dye?

Yes, this product is designed for unisex use and is suitable for all adults, regardless of gender, who wish to color their hair with the Urban Brown 088 shade.

What kind of aftercare should I use to maintain the color?

To maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your Urban Brown 088 color, use shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for colored hair. Washing with cool water and limiting heat styling can also help prolong the color's richness.

Troubleshooting

Color did not take or is not vibrant enough

Ensure the product was applied correctly and the full recommended processing time was observed. Hair porosity and existing color can affect the final result; very dark or previously treated hair might require longer processing or a pre-lightening step (not part of this product's function).

Uneven color result

Ensure even distribution of the dye during application, especially at the roots and ends. For long hair, sectioning it carefully before application can help achieve uniform coverage. Thoroughly comb through the hair after application for even spread.

Skin staining around the hairline or ears

Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) generously to the skin around your hairline and ears before application. If staining occurs, wipe immediately with a damp cloth or a gentle skin cleanser. For stubborn stains, specialized hair dye stain removers are available.

Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring

Use a deep conditioning treatment immediately after rinsing the dye. Follow up with a good quality, hydrating, color-safe shampoo and conditioner in subsequent washes. Avoid excessive heat styling and consider a weekly hair mask to restore moisture.

Allergic reaction (itching, redness, swelling)

Discontinue use immediately and rinse thoroughly. Consult a medical professional if symptoms persist or worsen. This highlights the critical importance of performing a patch test 48 hours before every application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Patch Test: Always perform a skin sensitivity patch test 48 hours before each application, even if you've used hair dyes before. This is crucial for safety.
  2. Preparation: Wear old clothes or use a towel to protect your clothing. Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent skin staining.
  3. Hair Condition: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours before coloring, unless the product instructions state otherwise. This allows natural oils to protect your scalp.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Suitable for adults only. Not recommended for use on persons under the age of 16.
  • Hair Types: Generally compatible with most hair types, but results may vary based on hair porosity and previous chemical treatments. For chemically straightened or permed hair, wait at least two weeks before applying.
  • Unisex Product: Designed for use by all genders.

Care

  • Washing: Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for colored hair. Wash hair with cool or lukewarm water to help seal the cuticle and preserve color.
  • Heat Styling: Minimize the use of heat styling tools (flat irons, curling irons, blow dryers on high heat) as excessive heat can cause color to fade faster.
  • UV Protection: Protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can also cause color degradation. Consider using leave-in products with UV filters.
  • Maintenance: Touch up roots as needed to maintain a consistent color, typically every 4-6 weeks.
