Live Colour Hair Dye Hot Cinnamon - Review
Sunday, November 25, 2012Like a lot of people who colour their hair I like to go darker in the winter and then lighter towards the summer months, recently I've been sporting various shades of red as I find this flatters my skintone more so I decided to keep the red but go a little darker.
When I'm not using my beloved La Riche Directions dyes, I like to use Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL these come in great range of colours and have a fantastic Hot Reds collection, I think at one point or another I've been all of these red shades.
Live Colour XXL box dyes come with more or less everything you need to dye your hair at home;
- Instructions
- Plastic Gloves (I prefer to use my own latex ones I buy from the pound shop)
- Applicatior bottle with Developing lotion
- Colour Creme
- Conditioner
To dye your hair completely squeeze the colour creme into the developer and shake well, then section your hair and apply the dye evenly all over.
Make sure you follow the instructions for timing exactly (normally around 30 min) as if you leave it on too long or too little then the colour may not be as expected.
Once the developing time is over rinse until the water runs clear and apply the conditioner.
Then dry and style as you like.
Home box dyes can be great but if you are looking for a drastic change such as going from blonde to brown its best left to the professionals as I'd recommend not going more than 2 shades darker or lighter with these.
The shades themselves are all pretty much true to the colour on the box however the outcome does depend on your initial hair colour.
Live Colour XXL dyes are available in most Boots, Superdrug stores and online and retail at around £5.00. You can also find out more information on the Live Colour XXL website which has a great shade selector and also a styling tips section.
