FAQs

How long does Schwarzkopf LIVE Color XXL Raspberry Rebel Red 91 last?

As a semi-permanent dye, the color typically lasts for 6-8 washes, but this can vary depending on your hair's condition, porosity, and how frequently you wash it.

Do I need to bleach my hair before using this dye?

For the most vibrant and true-to-shade Raspberry Rebel Red result, it is recommended to apply this dye to pre-lightened or bleached hair. On darker hair, it will provide a more subtle tint.

Can I use this dye on previously colored hair?

Yes, you can use it on previously colored hair. However, the final color result will be influenced by the underlying color and condition of your hair.

Is this product damaging to my hair?

Semi-permanent dyes like Schwarzkopf LIVE Color XXL are generally less damaging than permanent dyes because they don't contain ammonia or require peroxide. They coat the hair shaft rather than deeply penetrating it.

How often can I reapply this color?

You can reapply as often as desired to maintain vibrancy as the color fades. It's generally gentle enough for frequent use, but always perform a strand test if you're concerned.

Can I mix this color with other Schwarzkopf LIVE Ultra Brights shades?

While not explicitly stated, professional practice often allows mixing of similar types of dyes within the same product line for custom shades. Perform a small patch test of the mixed colors and a strand test on your hair first.

How do I remove the color if I don't like it?

The color will naturally fade with regular shampooing. To speed up fading, you can use clarifying shampoos or anti-dandruff shampoos, which are known to strip color faster. Professional color removers specifically for semi-permanent dyes may also be an option, but use with caution.

Troubleshooting

Color not as vibrant as expected.

This often happens if applied to hair that is too dark. For maximum vibrancy, pre-lighten your hair before application. Ensure hair was clean and product was evenly distributed.

Color faded too quickly.

Semi-permanent dyes are designed to fade. To prolong color, use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos, wash less frequently with cool water, and minimize heat styling. Hair porosity also affects longevity; more porous hair may fade faster.

Uneven color application.

Ensure hair is thoroughly saturated with the dye during application. Use a comb to distribute the product evenly. For future applications, section your hair before applying.

Skin or surface staining.

Wear gloves during application. Apply petroleum jelly to your hairline and ears before starting. Clean up any spills on surfaces immediately with a damp cloth and mild cleanser.

Hair feels dry after coloring.

Although semi-permanent dyes are less harsh, ensure you condition your hair well after rinsing. Use a deep conditioning treatment regularly, especially if your hair was previously bleached or damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup (Pre-Application)

  1. Patch Test: Always perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before full application, even if you've used hair dye before.
  2. Strand Test: For best results, conduct a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair to preview the color outcome and determine the optimal development time.
  3. Preparation: Wash and towel-dry your hair before application. Ensure it is clean and free of styling products.
  4. Protection: Wear old clothes, cover surfaces, and use the provided gloves to prevent staining. Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline and ears to protect skin.

Compatibility

  • Hair Color: This dye is most vibrant on pre-lightened, bleached, or light blonde hair. On medium blonde to light brown hair, it will give a rich red tint. On very dark hair, the effect will be minimal, appearing as a subtle sheen under light.
  • Hair Type: Suitable for all hair types, but porosity can affect color uptake and longevity. More porous hair may absorb color more intensely but also fade faster.
  • Not Recommended For: Eyelashes or eyebrows. Do not use if you have a sensitive, irritated, or damaged scalp.

Care (Post-Application)

  1. Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Do not shampoo immediately after coloring.
  2. Conditioning: Use a color-safe conditioner to seal the cuticles and lock in color.
  3. Washing: Wash hair less frequently and use cool water. Opt for sulfate-free, color-protecting shampoos and conditioners.
  4. Heat Styling: Minimize heat styling (blow-drying, straightening, curling) as high heat can accelerate color fading. Use heat protectant spray when styling.
  5. Sunlight/Chlorine: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and chlorinated water can cause color to fade or shift. Consider using UV protection for hair or wearing a swim cap.
