Schwarzkopf Live Colour + Moisture Permanent Colour Hair Dye is engineered for vibrant, lasting results, especially on hair types often challenging to color evenly. The M05 Truffle Temptation shade offers a rich, natural brown.
Preparation is Key: Start by using the included pre-colour serum. This step is crucial, particularly for textured hair, as it conditions the strands, creating a more uniform surface for the dye to adhere to. This helps in achieving that desired intense and even color from root to tip.
Application: Follow the instructions precisely for mixing and applying the dye. Given its formulation for textured and dark hair, ensure thorough saturation of all strands. Work in small sections to guarantee that the product penetrates evenly, especially in areas with tighter curl patterns or thicker hair.
Moisture and Protection: The Kera-bond plex post-colour conditioner is vital. After rinsing the dye, apply this conditioner generously. It's designed to lock in moisture, nourish the hair, and help protect against potential damage from the coloring process. Users can expect hair to feel soft and look shiny post-application, rather than dry or brittle.
Real-World Benefits:
Vibrant Color on Dark Hair: Users with naturally dark hair will appreciate the dye's ability to show up vividly and truly transform their look without appearing dull.
Even Coverage for Textured Hair: The formulation helps prevent common issues like uneven color absorption or splotchiness often seen in highly textured hair.
Reduced Damage Perception: The included treatments contribute to a healthy hair feel, minimizing concerns about dryness or breakage typically associated with permanent dyeing.
For optimal performance, always perform a strand test to gauge the final color result and a patch test to check for sensitivities prior to full application.
Preparation: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed, ideally for 24-48 hours before coloring. Protect your skin by applying petroleum jelly around your hairline and ears. Wear old clothes and use the gloves provided.
Patch Test: Always perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each application, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of mixed product to a clean patch of skin on your forearm or behind your ear.
Strand Test: For an accurate color result, apply the dye to a small, hidden strand of hair first. This helps determine the processing time needed to achieve your desired shade.
Mixing: Follow the instructions for mixing the developer and color cream thoroughly in a non-metallic bowl (if applicable) or shaking the applicator bottle.
Hair Type: This product is specifically developed and highly compatible with textured hair, including kinks, curls, and coils, ensuring even color absorption and vibrant results.
Hair Color: Ideal for dark hair, providing intense and visible color transformation. Results may vary on very light or previously bleached hair.
Age Group: Suitable for adult use.
Pre-Colour Serum: Apply the entire contents of the pre-colour serum to dry hair before applying the color mixture. Distribute evenly, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.
Post-Colour Conditioner: After rinsing the color mixture from your hair, apply the entire contents of the Kera-bond plex post-colour conditioner. Leave on for the recommended time (typically 2-5 minutes) for deep moisturization and damage protection, then rinse thoroughly.
Ongoing Hair Care: To maintain color vibrancy and hair health, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Limit washing hair too frequently and use cool water when rinsing to help seal the cuticles and preserve color.
Heat Protection: When styling with heat tools, always use a heat protectant spray to prevent color fading and damage.
