Product Information

Full details

This hair colourant is designed for adults seeking intense, vibrant, and long-lasting brown hair colour for up to 8 weeks. Its key benefit is the combination of stunning colour with an anti-damage system for healthier-looking hair and 100% colour confidence. A potential consideration is the need for a refresh gloss after 3-4 weeks to maintain vibrancy. Key features include intense colour, an extra colour refresh gloss, the HaptIQ Anti-Damage system for reduced breakage, and a commitment to vegan and sustainable packaging.

FAQs

How long does the colour last?

The intense colour is designed to last for up to 8 weeks, with a refresh gloss available to maintain vibrancy after 3-4 weeks.

Can I use this on grey hair?

LIVE Intense Colour provides good coverage on grey hair, but results can vary. A strand test is recommended to see how the colour will appear on your specific hair type.

Is the product suitable for all hair types?

Yes, the product is designed for adult use and can be applied to most hair types. However, performance can vary based on porosity and existing colour.

What's included in the package?

The package contains LIVE colour cream (60ml), developer lotion (60ml), conditioner (22.5ml), refresh colour gloss (22.5ml), one pair of gloves, and an instruction leaflet.

How do I perform the strand test?

After mixing a small amount of colour, apply it to a hidden section of hair. Leave on for the recommended development time, then rinse and dry to check the colour result. This also serves as an allergy test.

What does the HaptIQ Anti-Damage system do?

The HaptIQ system is integrated into the colouring process to strengthen hair internally, significantly reducing breakage and improving hair health during and after colouring.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Yes, the formula is vegan and free from animal-derived ingredients.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour application

Ensure hair is properly sectioned and the mixture is applied thoroughly and evenly. For future applications, try using a tint brush for better control.

Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring

Rinse thoroughly and use the provided conditioner. For ongoing care, use a deep conditioning hair mask weekly and minimize heat styling.

Colour is not as intense as expected

Results can depend on natural hair colour and condition. Ensure the full development time was met. A strand test beforehand helps predict the outcome. Consider using the refresh gloss sooner for added vibrancy.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction

Immediately rinse the product from skin/hair and discontinue use. Seek medical advice if severe. Always perform the 48-hour patch test before each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure you have a non-metallic bowl and brush for mixing.
  2. Strand Test: Perform a patch test 48 hours before colouring to check for allergies and a strand test to preview the colour result on your hair.
  3. Mixing: Apply the colour cream and developer lotion in a 1:1 ratio into the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a smooth cream forms.
  4. Application: Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair using the brush. Work section by section for complete coverage.
  5. Development: Leave the colour on for the time specified in the instruction leaflet (typically 30 minutes).
  6. Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly until water runs clear.
  7. Conditioning: Apply the included conditioner, leave for 2-3 minutes, then rinse out.
  8. Refresh Gloss: Apply the Extra Colour Refresh Gloss 3-4 weeks after initial colouring as per instructions.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for adult users seeking permanent brown hair colour.
  • Can be used on natural or previously coloured hair, though results may vary.
  • Not recommended for hair that is extremely damaged or has been recently permed.

Care:

  • Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners to prolong colour life.
  • Avoid excessive heat styling, which can fade colour.
  • Protect coloured hair from chlorine and saltwater.
  • Store remaining unused mixture immediately after application (though full application is recommended for best results).
