See more Review: Once again Schwarzkopf, you have my heart!! ❤️❤️ - Very rarely I write reviews but once again I'm impressed by Live colour! I'm actually going to praise 3 shades from the range in this review. 😁 From a few years now Mango twist was my colour. It's an amazing shade itself as well! But lately I've been wanting a change and decided to go with Ruby glaze. I am in love! ❤️ So vibrant and glossy, I can't stop looking at it! Covered the Mango twist shade like a dream. For a hair of my length I recommend getting 3 boxes of dye to be on the safe side, I almost didn't have enough 😅 On the front I have a bleached money piece that I did with Mauve kiss. Chef's kiss! 🤌🏻❤️ I'm including pictures for visual reference of how the dye covers. You can see 2 shades of Ruby glaze, because the money piece was thicker but I wanted to thin it a bit. So it's a good visual on how Ruby glaze covers on top of both old colour and bleached hair to about a level 9. Mauve kiss is on top of level 10. Other reviews that suggest Ruby glaze doesn't fully wash are right - it was forever running the water red when rinsing. I'm guessing its going to do so for quite a long time. Be careful with you fabrics - pillows, clothes etc. Otherwise I can't fault the brand! For the low price point it's marvellous! ❤️ Review: Amethyst Chrome - brilliant results! - This colour is true to the box likeness. My picture speak for themselves! My natural colour is a little darker than the ‘medium brown’ on the guide, and this is one of the few colours that is recommended for darker hair, or doesn’t require pre-lightening at least. Colour really is ‘chromatic’ in that it shines beautifully in the light. Sure, ‘amethyst’ is never gonna look natural, but it’s not a flat block of red. Beware: be ultra careful in cleaning spills or spatters on sinks etc and skin as you go along - the colour is STRONG when developed but may not be evident beforehand. However, this is true of all reds I’ve used - either use Vaseline around your hairline or have wipes handy! ## Features - Long-lasting dye: This permanent deep brown hair dye gives intense colour thanks to its anti-fade formula. The built-in Vibrancy Serum activates colour at the core of each hair strand for maximum depth - Easy application: Designed for use on medium brown to black hair, this vegan hair dye gives rich and long-lasting colour results as well as healthy-looking shine - Full coverage: Get up to 100% grey coverage thanks to this nourishing permanent colour hair dye in an intense shade of jet black.
