Schwarzkopf LIVE Ultra Brights Or Pastels, Vibrant Semi-permanent Pink Hair Dye, Lasts Up to 15 Washes- Shocking Pink 093

Amazing colour

I used this in 2022 to give myself purple money pieces.

So, after feeling like I needed a little change. I decided to give this a go! Always loved the silver hair trend. Didn’t realise it would end with me sporting a new, free of charge, undercut! Can’t say much about the colour, it didn’t take at all! Yes, my hair was light enough, and yes, I used two tubes! Smelt good though, guess that was a bonus! Kinda weird to apply. A bit like those pastel paint tubes you can get from the art store. You might need some extra strength to push it out of the tube though! The thickness isn’t the best to work with! Anyways, followed the steps like a pro! Washed it out, thoroughly! Let it dry naturally, and was left with the disappointing finish! The only way I can describe it, was like someone had thrown talcum powder on my hair! Anyways, it was what it was! Woke up the next day, my birthday by the way! Going about my day, I really didn’t expect what happened to happen. But someone using a naked flame next to my head, managed to engulf my entire head in flames!!!! It honestly was faster than a bullet! Jumping into natural panic, beating the crap out of my own head to put the flames out, I managed to not suffer any major burns so to speak! But after the initial shock, and everyone’s ‘OMG’ reaction, I braved looking in the mirror to check the damage! Yep … the underside of my hair had been reduced to singed baby hair. Like I’d hit 46 and decided to get cool, and have an undercut! Now, you might ask, how do I know it was the dyes fault. Well, I don’t use styling products, my hair is always natural. And I don’t tend to bathe it in petrol. And it definitely had a source of accelerant! So I can only assume, the dye left some kind of residue on my hair! The good news is, I’m not disfigured (minus the loss of hair) no one died, and my mother who’s suffered hair loss from chemo had a great laugh at my losing my hair also! So that cheered her up. Bonus! Thank god I wasn’t blowing out 46 candles to make this happen. I’d dread to think what I’d look like! But yeah, the colour isn’t the best :)

I usually use Tangerine Twist permanent, on naturally medium brown hair to lighten and make it copper/ginger. I couldn't get hold of this on my subscribe and save this month, so switched to this semi permanent option for this one delivery and it's worked well. I used 2 packs and 1 conditioner for my past shoulder length hair which means I have 3 conditioners left to use. Not sure how long it will last or wash out next wash as I was struggling to make the water run clear, but upon dying it's made my hair brighter ginger again, if a tad darker than the tangerine twist usually makes it. I think this is less damaging to my hair than the usual one which contains bleach, so I will probably now alternate this one with the permanent one every 8 weeks!

Nice colour, good coverage

Definitely need to use a bleach or somthing to lighten your hair first

Very good colour easy to apply

Excellent product
