Schwarzkopf LIVE Amethyst Chrome U69 is crafted to deliver a vibrant, true-to-tone purple. For optimal results, apply to lightened or naturally light hair. If your hair is naturally dark, pre-lightening may be necessary to achieve the vivid amethyst effect. The dye works by deeply penetrating the hair shaft, ensuring the permanent pigments lock in for lasting vibrancy.
Application Tips:
Preparation is Key: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for 24-48 hours before application to allow natural oils to protect the scalp.
Sectioning Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections for even application from roots to ends.
Even Saturation: Apply the dye thoroughly to ensure every strand is saturated, especially for a consistent color outcome.
Development Time: Follow the instructions precisely for the recommended development time. Over-processing can lead to damage, while under-processing may result in a less intense or uneven color.
Rinsing: Rinse your hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow with the provided conditioner (if included) or a color-safe conditioner to seal the cuticles and enhance shine.
Expect a rich, reflective purple that can add a bold statement to your look. The intensity may vary slightly based on your hair's porosity and underlying tones. Regular use of color-safe shampoo and conditioner will help maintain the vibrancy.
Read Instructions: Always read the enclosed instruction leaflet thoroughly before beginning.
Patch Test: Perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each application, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of the dye mixture to a small area behind your ear or on your inner elbow.
Strand Test: If unsure about the final color result or development time, perform a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair.
Gather Supplies: Lay out all contents from the box, protective gloves, an old towel, and a timer.
Protect Surfaces: Cover your work area and shoulders with old towels to prevent staining.
Mix Dye: Follow the instructions to mix the color cream and developer lotion in the applicator bottle or non-metallic bowl.
Age Group: Suitable for adult use only.
Hair Type: Generally compatible with most hair types, but results may vary based on porosity and previous chemical treatments.
Existing Color: Best results for vibrant amethyst are typically achieved on pre-lightened or naturally light hair. Applying to very dark hair may yield a subtle tint rather than a vibrant shade.
Color-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for color-treated hair to help preserve the vibrancy of your amethyst color.
Cool Water Rinsing: Rinse hair with cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can strip color faster.
Limit Washing: Wash your hair less frequently to extend the life of the color.
Heat Protection: Minimize heat styling (blow drying, straightening, curling) or use a heat protectant spray, as high heat can cause color to fade.
Sun Protection: Protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can also fade color, by using UV protection sprays or wearing hats.
