Schwarzkopf LIVE Ultra Brights or Pastels Express your color creativity with FINAL FANTASY XIV Online x Live hair dye. This semi-permanent Schwarzkopf LIVE Ultra Brights Dark Red 026 is a dark red hair dye with conditioner, offering two effects in one product: achieve intense color vibrancy with built-in electrifying pigments or create a pastel shade by mixing the color cream with the included conditioner.

The semi-permanent formula, inspired by FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, lasts up to 15 washes. It is vegan*, free from silicones and alcohol**, and comes in FSC-certified packaging from responsible sources. This shade is recommended for bleached blonde hair. If you have darker hair, pre-lightening with LIVE Intense Lightener will help achieve a brighter result. For long or thick hair, using two packs is recommended. Results may vary on previously dyed hair. Use a clarifying or deep-cleansing shampoo before application.

Usage
Read the safety instructions on the back of the instruction leaflet before application.

Preparation
Before starting, protect your clothing and have a timer ready.

Application

1. Wash: Clean your hair with a mild shampoo and towel-dry it. Wear an old T-shirt and place a towel over your shoulders. Put on the provided gloves and pierce the color cream tube with the caps reverse side.
2. Vibrant results: For the most intense color, apply to pre-lightened or highlighted hair. We recommend using Absolute Platinum or Max Blonde from the LIVE range. If applying to darker natural hair, the result will be less vibrant but still noticeable. Check the shade chart on the packaging for guidance.
3. Pastel effect: On pre-lightened damp hair, mix a pea-sized amount of color cream with the conditioner and apply it as you would regular conditioner. For shade 095, use two pea-sized amounts. The mixture’s color in the bowl indicates the expected shade. Add more conditioner for a softer effect. Leave in for 15 minutes, then rinse. Pastel application is not recommended for dark blonde or light brown hair, as the color may not be visible.
4. Full head application: If hair is longer than chin-length, use two packs. Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline to prevent staining. Squeeze the color cream onto your gloved hands and apply it evenly to damp hair, starting from the back and working forward. Ensure full coverage, especially at the roots and hairline.
5. Dip dye technique: You will need aluminum foil strips, a bowl, an applicator brush, and protective gloves. Use only non-metallic tools. Apply color cream to the ends of the hair, place foil underneath, and fold to secure. Use clips to keep the foil in place.
6. Streaks: Similar to dip dye, use aluminum foil and an applicator brush. Apply color to selected hair sections, fold the foil securely, and repeat until you achieve the desired number of streaks.

Developing Time
Leave the color cream in for 2030 minutes. For pastel tones, leave it in for only 15 minutes. To reduce intensity, shorten the developing time.

Rinsing
Rinse hair with warm water until it runs clear. If applying streaks, rinse each section separately to avoid spreading the color to uncolored hair.

Conditioning
Apply the conditioner to damp hair, leave it for 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Hair will feel smooth and shiny.
