Put it on for the recommended time, used 2 boxes cause my hairs really thick and iv've come out ginger and bright yellow. Just wondering if I could dye my hair brown again or would it go wrong?

This product worked well for me, my hair was brownish with blonde highlights and comes down to my armpit and I wanted to go all blonde. Although my hairdresser said I would go orange I decided to buy this product. My first attempt went well with my blonde highlights going really bright blonde, but my roots and the darker parts of my hair did go orangey/ginger. Although the pack recommends using two packs - so I did and it worked really well second time round. My hair is now very blonde and looks brill. I am very happy and it was worth buying it for £10 rather than £70 at a hairdressers.

Hey I really love this hair dye I won't ever go to the hairdressers and pay 50 - 60 pound again. My hair was dark blonde anyway from going to the hairdressers before xxl live I used lorel and garnier on my roots and it was a yellow, so I then seen xxl live and coloured all my hair and it left my hair bleach blonde really nice blonde which I wanted and left no yellow atall. It does dry your hair out like all dyes but you need to look after it and use damaged dry hair shampoo and conditioner. Also I use oil just a little but on damp hair to protect it from heat. Amazing price hope they don't stop it. I won't use any other dye leaves your hair yellow not attractive just looks a mess and cheap. I reckon because I already had blondish hair it worked better. Not sure what its like going fromdark brown to blonde. But overall love it well worth the money and recommend it.

my hair was highlighted light brown/blonde, used this and it turned my hair yellow, snapped half the strands, gave me split ends and dried out my hair, horrendous, wouldnt use ever again!!!

I'm reading all these reviews about saying the hair dye and product is rubbish yet most people have not stated what there hair condition was before and what colour it was, I've used a stronger version of this product on my brown hair with red tones and yes ill admit it does not leave your hair in the best condition, but what bleaching product does ? I used it 4 or 5 times all over and it was fine I've used it for nearly a year, and am about to use it again, with every hair product you have your risks, its YOUR choice and YOUR responsability what you do with your hair and its in your hands, don't blame the product its just doing what its made for its your own fault if your hair is in bad condition and you've chosen to use it.

I read all the reviews before I purchased this but thought that my hair wouldnt go orange as i am naturally fair anyhow...how wrong was I!! I dont have a clue why this product is still on the shelf its just rubbish. Dont buy!!!

This is a great product for you if you want yellow and blonde hair.
Honestly it was the worst mistake of my life, i started off with a lovely ash blonde i thought cause its summer i would go blonder but here i am with yellow and orange hair !!
WORST PRODUCT EVER.

I use this hair dye every 3 weeks and i love it! Il never get my hair done professionally because i dont need to this hair dye is £3.49 from body care and it does the job, dosnt make my hair go yellow or get any brassy tones. If you see the other review when people have said that it has made your hair go yellow or ginger! Its becuse you need to get the red tones out from the hairdressers this is a box dye not a miracle worker!! But all you blondes ditch the hairdressers get this hair dye will save you lots of money and look just as good!!!!

i bought a blonde hair fye which was like £5.oo and i put it on and my hair went ginger and felt so bad but i put loads of conditioner onit and it felt so much better and a few days later i dyed it red and because parts of my hair was blonde the red stood out but with the red it faded quicker!! im dying my hair blonde and brown under it and i sure will be using this product again :) as i do reall like it i have had blonde red and purple useing this hair dye very very good i think and it does not take to long to do.

I've always trusted Live XL, when I had red hair their colours always stood out. I've had bleach blonde hair for two years but never coloured it myself. I used 'ice blonde' on my hair, ended up with yellow ends and gold/orange roots. I looked like something from Sesame Street. I ended up buying the same product again and left it on longer to try and get rid of the brass, but although it was better, it was still yellow. I've now bought a toner and silver mousse to take out the brassy colours. All together i've spent thirty quid doing my hair myself, when the idea was to keep it cheap.. I might aswell of gone to the hairdressers and paid the extra 20 to get it cut!! Very dissapointed!

Well i have a dark gingery colour hair, and i decided to use schwarzkopf XXL absolute Platinum as its supposedly the brightest blonde you can get on the market. I wanted to go like a bleach blonde colour, and to be fair it wasn't far off. Although it did come out quite yellow at first, and i thought it would look terrible, but after i dried it i realized it was the perfect colour, i definitely recommend this!!!
