Full details

The Schwarzkopf LIVE Permanent Hair Dye in Blue Berry (059) is designed for individuals seeking a vibrant, long-lasting blue hair color from the comfort of their home. Its key win is the ability to achieve a rich, distinctive blue shade that stands out.

FAQs

How long will the Blue Berry color last?

Schwarzkopf LIVE 059 Blue Berry is a permanent hair dye, meaning the color is designed to last until your hair grows out or is re-colored. Its vibrancy can be maintained longer with proper color-safe hair care.

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

For optimal vibrancy and true-to-box color results on darker hair, pre-lightening or bleaching is often recommended. On lighter hair, the color may show up more directly without pre-lightening.

Can I use this product on previously colored hair?

Yes, you can use it on previously colored hair, but the final result may vary depending on your current hair color and condition. Always perform a strand test on a hidden section of hair first to predict the outcome.

How do I prevent skin from staining?

Before applying the dye, put a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a thick moisturizer along your hairline, ears, and neck. Clean any accidental dye spots on your skin immediately with a damp cloth or a dedicated dye remover wipe.

Is this hair dye suitable for all hair types?

While generally suitable for most hair types, the final color result can vary based on your hair's porosity, texture, and natural color. Very dry, damaged, or highly porous hair may absorb color differently.

What should I do if I experience an allergic reaction?

An allergy alert patch test must be carried out 48 hours before each use. If you experience itching, redness, swelling, or any other adverse reaction during or after application, rinse immediately and discontinue use. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or are severe.

Troubleshooting

Color is not as vibrant or intense as expected.

Ensure hair was light enough before application. For very dark hair, pre-lightening may be necessary. Also, ensure the product was applied evenly and processed for the full recommended time.

Color appears patchy or uneven.

This often occurs due to uneven application. Ensure full saturation of all hair strands. Sectioning hair before application can help achieve more even coverage. Hair porosity differences can also cause this; try a porosity-balancing treatment before dyeing next time.

Skin staining around the hairline or ears.

Apply a barrier cream like petroleum jelly to skin areas bordering the hair before application. Clean any accidental spills on skin immediately with a damp cloth or a gentle toner.

Color fades quickly after application.

Ensure you are using color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid washing hair with very hot water. Protect hair from excessive sun exposure and harsh chemicals like chlorine.

Scalp irritation or itching during/after application.

This could indicate sensitivity. Always perform an allergy alert patch test 48 hours before each use. If irritation persists or worsens, rinse thoroughly and consult a medical professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

Before you begin, always perform an allergy alert patch test 48 hours in advance and a strand test to preview the color result. Always read the included instruction leaflet thoroughly.

  1. Gather Supplies: You will need gloves (provided), a non-metallic bowl (if mixing), an old towel, petroleum jelly, and a timer.
  2. Protect Yourself & Surroundings: Wear old clothes and drape an old towel around your shoulders. Apply petroleum jelly to your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent skin staining. Cover surrounding surfaces to protect against spills.
  3. Mix the Color: Follow the instructions precisely for mixing the color cream and developer lotion. Shake well if in an applicator bottle.
  4. Apply Evenly: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair as directed, typically starting at the roots and working towards the ends.
  5. Process: Leave the dye on for the recommended time (check leaflet).
  6. Rinse & Condition: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Apply the conditioner provided (if any) and leave for the recommended time before rinsing.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Suitable for adults (as per product attributes).
  • Hair Type: Generally compatible with most hair types. However, results on porous, damaged, or very dark hair may differ and require pre-treatment or extended processing times. Not recommended for use on permed, relaxed, or chemically straightened hair without consulting a professional.

Care Instructions

To maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your Blue Berry hair color:

  • Use Color-Safe Products: Opt for shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair. These are typically sulfate-free.
  • Wash with Cool Water: Rinse hair with cooler water as hot water can open the hair cuticle, leading to faster color fade.
  • Limit Washing: Wash your hair less frequently to preserve the color. Consider dry shampoo between washes.
  • Protect from Sun: UV rays can cause color to fade. Use UV-protective hair products or wear a hat when exposed to strong sunlight.
  • Avoid Chlorine/Saltwater: Chlorine and saltwater can strip color from hair. If swimming, wet hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner beforehand.
