FAQs

How long will the Schwarzkopf Live Urban Metallics Blue last?

As a permanent hair dye, the color is designed to last until your hair grows out or is recolored. The vibrancy will gradually fade over time with washing, sun exposure, and heat styling. Proper care with color-safe products helps extend its life.

Do I need to bleach my hair before using this blue dye?

For the most vibrant and true-to-shade metallic blue results, especially on darker natural hair, pre-lightening your hair to a light blonde or very light brown base is highly recommended. Always perform a strand test to see the expected result on your hair color.

Can I use this dye on previously colored hair?

Yes, but the outcome will depend on your current hair color and condition. If your hair is already dark, the blue metallic shade may not show up vibrantly. If your hair is heavily bleached or porous, it might absorb the color differently. A strand test is crucial in this scenario.

What if I get the dye on my skin or clothes?

For skin, wipe immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For clothes, rinse with cold water as quickly as possible; however, permanent dyes can be difficult to remove once they set. Always wear old clothes and protect surfaces during application.

How often can I re-dye my hair with this product?

It's generally recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks between full head color applications to allow your hair to recover. For root touch-ups, you can reapply as needed, focusing only on the new growth to minimize stress on previously colored hair.

Is this dye suitable for all hair types?

The dye is formulated for general use on adult hair. However, results and hair health can vary based on your specific hair type (e.g., fine, thick, oily, dry) and its current condition. Always conduct a strand test to assess compatibility and outcome.

How do I maintain the metallic finish?

To preserve the unique metallic finish, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners that are free of sulfates. Minimize washing frequency, use cool water for rinsing, and protect your hair from excessive heat styling and prolonged sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

Color is not as vibrant as expected.

This often occurs if the hair base was too dark. For maximum vibrancy, especially with metallic shades, pre-lightening the hair before application is usually recommended. Ensure the dye was applied evenly and processed for the full recommended time.

Uneven color result or patchy areas.

Uneven application is a common cause. Ensure hair is sectioned thoroughly and the dye is applied uniformly from roots to ends. Work quickly and systematically to saturate all areas. For future applications, consider using a tint brush and mirror for better precision.

Allergic reaction (itching, redness, swelling) after application.

Discontinue use immediately and consult a medical professional. This highlights the importance of performing a patch test 48 hours before every application, even if you've used the product before, as sensitivities can develop.

Skin or surface staining.

Immediately clean stained skin with a damp cloth and mild soap. For surfaces, wipe off spills quickly. To prevent future staining, apply petroleum jelly to your hairline and ears before dyeing, and protect surfaces with old towels or newspaper.

Hair feels dry or damaged after dyeing.

Ensure you use the conditioner provided with the dye and follow up with a color-safe deep conditioning treatment once or twice a week. Limit heat styling and use leave-in conditioners to maintain hair hydration. Over-processing or applying to already compromised hair can contribute to dryness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Intense and Lasting Color: Provides a vibrant blue that endures.
  • Distinct Metallic Effect: Offers a unique shimmer not found in standard dyes.
  • Convenient Home Application: Easy to use kit for personal dyeing.
  • Transforms Appearance: Creates a modern and bold look.
  • High-Quality Formula: Schwarzkopf's reputation for hair color innovation.

Cons

  • Permanent Nature: Requires commitment, as the color does not easily wash out.
  • Potential for Uneven Results: Home application can lead to patchiness if not applied meticulously.
  • Pre-lightening May Be Required: For optimal vibrancy, especially on darker hair, pre-lightening may be necessary (Info needed: consult product specific instructions).
  • Maintenance: Requires specific care to maintain color vibrancy over time.
  • Staining Risk: Can stain skin and surfaces if not handled carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Before you begin, ensure you have all necessary items and prepare your space to avoid staining.

  1. Perform a Patch Test: Always conduct an allergy patch test 48 hours before full application. Apply a small amount of dye mix to a discreet area of skin (e.g., behind the ear) to check for adverse reactions.
  2. Conduct a Strand Test: Apply the dye to a small, hidden section of hair to check the development time and final color result.
  3. Gather Supplies: You'll need the dye kit, an old towel, gloves (provided), a non-metallic bowl (if mixing separately), a tint brush (optional, for precision), and petroleum jelly.
  4. Protect Your Skin and Surfaces: Apply petroleum jelly along your hairline, ears, and neck. Cover your workspace with newspaper or old towels to protect against spills.
  5. Wear Old Clothes: Choose clothing you don't mind getting stained.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Suitable for adults.
  • Hair Type: Generally compatible with most hair types. However, results may vary significantly based on your natural hair color, previous chemical treatments, and hair porosity.
  • Best Results: For the most vibrant metallic blue, the dye works best on pre-lightened or naturally light hair. If your hair is dark, pre-lightening is often recommended.
  • Not Recommended: Avoid use on damaged, extremely porous, or recently permed/relaxed hair without professional advice.

Care

Proper aftercare is essential to maintain the vibrancy and metallic sheen of your new blue hair.

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After processing, rinse your hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Use the conditioner provided in the kit.
  2. Use Color-Safe Products: Switch to shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair. These formulations help lock in color and prevent premature fading.
  3. Wash Less Frequently: Washing your hair less often can extend the life of your color. Consider using dry shampoo between washes.
  4. Use Cold Water: Rinse your hair with cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can open the hair cuticle and cause color to bleed.
  5. Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat from styling tools can strip color. Use heat protectant sprays and reduce the frequency of heat styling.
  6. Protect from Sun: UV rays can cause color to fade. Consider wearing a hat or using UV protectant hair products when outdoors for extended periods.
  7. Deep Conditioning: Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep hair hydrated and healthy, which also helps preserve color.
