“Never Again”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 12/06/2013

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?

“Rubbish ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by StaceyJane on 24/08/2012

I used this and only half of my hair covered, it's patchy and horrible and a very yellow colour. Only the top half of my hair has covered and now I have to walk around until my hair is ok to colour again. My advise is if you want it done, get it done properly it's not worth it when you have to pay out more because it's turned out bad and the hairdresser has more to do than original. The only good thing about it is that it's cheap but then again you get what you pay for in life. I wouldn't recommended this to anyone. I am so disappointed with the result and how much it agrovated my scalp. Usually im prone to not ever having pain or itchiness when I have my hair coloured but this litualy burnt my scalp and I had scaps falling from my scalp where it burnt it so bad. If I had read this sooner there is no way I would have had it done. It is rubbish. Not even worth it.

I'm a hair stylist and this really annoys me! I didn't train for years and years for nothing! Think your going to achieve a good hair colour for £5? Also annoys me that loreal are professional products but will produce such c*** for people to ruin their hair just to make a few quid!

“Rubbish”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Floss1976 on 04/07/2012

Im naturally blonde and usually use another product to go lighter. I thought id use live as it says it reduces red tones in blonde hair. This is clearly NOT the case. Not only is my hair now a disgusting yellow its also very patchy!!. I would not recommend this product to anyone. And think they need to address their packaging and state what the product actually can do not be misleading ! TERRIBLE!

I agree fully with the above comments, this product is terrible and I strongly advise customers not to purchase this and go to a salon instead. The final result was brassy, canary yellow and although my hair still felt in relatively good condition, this is completely overshadowed by the fact I now have yellow hair and am going to have to correct it and don't know where to start. The reason I felt this product could work for me is that I have seen it advertised on TV, in magazines and thought if this brand is endorsing TV programmes then it must be reputable. I was naively wrong. Lesson learnt. Please do not buy this item, it is cheap and nasty.

“NEVER AGAIN!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by XtinaMeAtSix on 13/01/2012

I used this colour on my hair a few months ago and the results were HORRIBLE! My hair went a disgusting yellow colour (God only knows how!) and my hair started falling out 20 strands at a time! I had to pay money to get the colour stripped out and I will never use it again! It is the worst colour my hair has ever been and it only coloured half of my hair, the bottom was still my natural colour. It may say on the box that it's suitable for 'Dark Brown' hair and it'll still go almost white, but it lies. Don't buy it. Ever.

“I've always trusted Live XL, when I had red hair their...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 01/03/2011

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!

written by on 17/12/2010

I have naturally light blonde hair, and chose to use this dye as I wanted to go up a couple of shades.

I left it on for the full amount of time, and when I dried my hair it came out bright yellow! It looked absolutely awful and was really upsetting. It also left my hair feeling and looking completely straw-like.

I would never use this brand again.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 29/11/2010

Did a ton of research on bleaching my hair (I'm naturally a dark, mousy blonde, had highlights for three years before going brunette), and left it on for well over an hour to override the natural reddish tones in my hair. The result was a bright orange, even after this amount of time. Like the kind of orange Hayley Williams could only dream of. Trying to gradually tone down the orange with an ash blonde from Nice n Easy but that's the last time I use a home bleach or a Schwarzkopf product. Was I not a student and completely strapped for cash, then yes I probably would have gone to a salon being well aware of the risks of DIY bleaching, although the small fortune I've spent trying to correct my hair can only be blamed on the initial product. As tempting as it is for quick fix blonde... attempt at your own peril.

★☆☆☆☆

written by Nangles on 07/10/2009

I thought long and hard before using this product, or at least I thought I did! Now I realise i didn't make the right choice! When you see Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXXL Ice Blonde on the shelf LEAVE IT THERE!!!
Yes it is cheap....that's the only good thing about it!! Until, like me you now have to pay up to £100 to have it put right by a professional!
My hair, which was blonde to begin with, (I just wanted to lighten it) is now a lovely shade of GINGER!!!!! Bloody brilliant! NOT!!!
I am now sat at work with a scarf on my head! Luckily I have been able to make an appointment with the hairdressers tomorrow so the embarrassment wont have to continue for long!
I definatly do not recommend this!!!!!!!!!

You need to leave the dye on longer! The bleach in the dye turns the hair orangey first and eventually goes lighter. If it still looks orangey after, you use a toner and a purple shampoo esspecially for bleached hair.

hi, i had the same problem with blonde dyes. U need to find a shampoo or toner that is blue or purple coloured. The blue/purple cancels out the unwanted yellow orange tones in blondes.

I have had quite the same problem - not only once.<br/>Someone in your family with red hair? Even if you can't see it, it's in the roots. Many girls have died their hair since they were about 11 or 12 - like me; not knowing that hair takes on a different shade every year while you're growing up. Thus, with 19 you might bleach your hair as so many times before and suddenly it turns reddish as never before. Sure, there are also more simple explanations, but maybe you like to know these facts too.<br/><br/>Greets from Germany,<br/><br/>Lily.
