Super happy with the results!
This was my first purchase of this hair dye and absolutely love the colour. My hair was a light dyed strawberry blonde and as you can see, extremely short. My natural colour is mid brown, but I wanted a nice subtle pink rose shade. As with all buzz cuts, your roots start to show within days, so I wanted something that would gently lift the brown but would be kind to my hair. It smelt like bleach, and I had a little tingling on my scalp as I do with any dyes containing ammonia. It lifted about 2 levels, which I was very happy with and I left it in for 40 minutes. I'm super pleased with how even my hair looks and also how soft it is. It's very easy to mix, and the after colour conditioner is brilliant. I will definitely be buying this again.

Schwarzkopf LIVE Intense Colour - A Surprising Success!
I'm a bit of an adventurous guy when it comes to trying new hair dyes, and I have to say that the Schwarzkopf LIVE Intense Colour Pure Purple was a real surprise. As someone with dark ginger hair and beard, I wasn't expecting the color to take as well as it did - but it did!No Bleaching RequiredWhat really impressed me about this dye is that it managed to penetrate my dark hair and beard without any prior bleaching. I've tried other purple dyes in the past that have resulted in a faint, uneven color, but this one delivered a vibrant, long-lasting purple tone.Intense ColorThe 'intense' part of the name is no joke - this dye packs a punch! The color is rich and saturated, and it really brings out my natural ginger undertones. I was worried that the purple might clash with my dark hair, but it actually complements it nicely.Long-LastingOne of the best things about this dye is its longevity. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and the colour still looks great. It's not fading or washing out like some other dyes I've tried in the past.Would I Buy Again?Absolutely! For anyone looking to try a new hair color without the hassle of bleaching or maintenance, Schwarzkopf LIVE Intense Colour is definitely worth checking out. Just be aware that it may not work as well on very light or blonde hair.

Quick, Easy, Colourful!
I have been using this brand on my hair for about 4 years now and I naturally have dark brown hair. I dye over my natural hair with a brighter red to make a nice deep shade and it always comes out so bright and pigmented! My hair never feels damaged afterwards (granted, I don't bleach) and the conditioner that comes in the kit is great to use the day after to just leave in and bring some more colour out. Highly recommend!

Can make your hair a bit blue at first but this dies down! Perfect colour!
I had brassy gingery dyed blonde hair, but I'm in my wonderful peri-menopausal stage of thinner hair, and the grey curls are starting to shove their way through! Sniff!So, thought I would have to just embrace the grey and be old! Then I tried this (God I sound like an advert lol) and WOW, the ginger went, the greys went, my hair felt glossier, and I really love the ashy blonde! At first though, parts of my hair were quite blue, not adverse to this, but within 2/3 washes that had gone and left with shiny manageable hair!It'll never be perfect, I've been dying my hair for 35 years lol (was 10 when I started!) but its so much nicer after using this. x

Great on brown hair
First time dying, so used on virgin undyed brown hair (see before and after images) and it turned out really well. Used the whole bottle and left on for just over 30 minutes.Super easy to apply and did not stain skin at all, nice floral smell, and comes with a good conditoner sachet. Colour is very vibrant in direct sunlight, and more midnight blue indoors.Would suggest leaving the conditoner in for at least 5 minutes and avoid washing (even with water) for the first 2-3 days to maintain as much colour as possible as some does wash out (hence 4 staes). My hair is super brittle and thin, so long conditioning was a must for me.
