FAQs

How many drops should I use for my hair?

The number of drops depends on your desired intensity and hair length/thickness. Start with 2-5 drops for a subtle tint, 5-10 for a medium vibrancy, and 10-20 for a vivid color. Always mix with conditioner and perform a strand test first to find your ideal ratio.

How long does the Crystal Blue color last?

The color is semi-permanent and typically lasts between 2 to 12 washes. This duration can vary based on your hair's porosity, how frequently you wash it, and the hair care products you use.

Can I use these drops on dark brown or unbleached hair?

Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour Drops are most effective on bleached blonde to dark blonde hair. On dark brown or unbleached hair, the color will likely not be visible or will only provide a very subtle, almost undetectable, tint.

Do I need to mix it with a specific type of conditioner?

You can mix it with any white conditioner to ensure you can see the true color of the mixture. Avoid using conditioners with strong tints or color-depositing properties that might interfere with the Crystal Blue shade.

Is this product damaging to hair?

The vegan and silicone-free formula is designed to be gentle. Since it's mixed with conditioner, it also adds conditioning benefits during the coloring process. It does not contain harsh chemicals like ammonia or peroxide found in permanent dyes.

Can I mix different LIVE Colour Drops shades together?

Yes, you can mix different shades of Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour Drops to create your own unique custom colors. Always perform a strand test to see the resulting shade before applying to your entire hair.

Troubleshooting

Color is not vibrant enough or barely visible.

Ensure your base hair color is bleached blonde to dark blonde. If it is, next time try adding more Crystal Blue drops to your conditioner, and/or leave the mixture on for a longer processing time (up to 20 minutes, after a strand test).

Color faded too quickly.

Reduce how often you wash your hair, use cooler water for rinsing, and switch to sulphate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Also, limit heat styling and consider using a UV protectant.

Uneven color application.

Make sure your hair is thoroughly detangled and evenly damp before applying. Section your hair and apply the mixture meticulously, using a comb to ensure even distribution from root to tip. Ensure the conditioner and drops are fully mixed.

Skin or surface staining.

Always wear gloves during application. Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline, ears, and neck to create a barrier. Immediately wipe off any splashes on skin or surfaces with a damp cloth and soap.

  • Hair-Friendly Formula: Vegan and silicone-free, gentler on hair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour Drops for use is straightforward:

  1. Gather Supplies: You will need your bottle of Crystal Blue Colour Drops, a white conditioner (to see the color mix clearly), a non-metallic bowl and applicator brush or comb, gloves, and old towels or clothes to protect surfaces.
  2. Prepare Hair: Wash and towel-dry your hair. It should be clean and damp, not dripping wet.
  3. Mix: Squeeze your chosen amount of conditioner into the bowl. Add the desired number of Crystal Blue drops directly into the conditioner. Start with fewer drops if you're aiming for a pastel shade, and more for a vivid look.
  4. Stir: Mix the conditioner and drops thoroughly with the applicator brush or a plastic spoon until a uniform color is achieved.

Compatibility

  • Hair Type: These drops are specifically formulated for use on bleached blonde to dark blonde hair. The lighter your base color, the more vibrant and true-to-shade the Crystal Blue will appear. On darker blonde or light brown hair, the effect will be more subtle, acting as a tint rather than a vibrant color change. It is generally not recommended for dark brown or black hair as the color will not be visible.
  • Other Products: Compatible with most hair conditioners. Avoid mixing with permanent dyes or bleaching agents.

Care Instructions

To maximize the life and vibrancy of your Crystal Blue color:

  • Wash Less Frequently: Extend the time between washes to slow down color fade. Consider using dry shampoo.
  • Use Cool Water: Rinse and wash hair with cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can open the hair cuticle and accelerate color loss.
  • Color-Safe Products: Opt for shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair. Look for 'sulphate-free' labels.
  • Limit Heat Styling: Excessive use of heat styling tools (flat irons, curling irons) can also contribute to faster color fade. Use heat protectant sprays when necessary.
  • Protect from Sun: UV rays can cause hair color to fade. Consider wearing a hat or using UV protection hair products when exposed to prolonged sunlight.
