TUTORIAL & REVIEW: Schwarzkopf Brilliance Luminance Intense Permanent Colour Hair Dye (Red Passion)
11:40:00 AM
So as we all know, going for regular salon visits to keep your hair colour on point is really time-consuming, not to mention it'll burn a huge hole in your wallet. (& that can really hurt especially if you have a pretty wallet like I do)
I don't really like going to salons because I feel like they screw up the colour I want ALOT, therefore I turn to boxed hair dyes. They're not that bad actually, in fact I prefer it over salons.
Schwarzkopf's Brilliance Luminance Hair Dye (Red Passion)
These ones from Schwarzkopf are actually for those with dark hair, which is perfect for my really dark asian hair.
This is actually their new formula because they've added in a capsule filled with Diamond Gloss Serum that apparently helps to provide a much more vibrant colour.
I got this for about $12.99 I think? And my hair is at that length where it's not exactly medium but not long as well, so just to be sure, I got two boxes.
This is what you'll find when you open the box:
1. Tube of colour cream
2. Bottle of developer
3. Tube of conditioner
4. Gloves (which I've left out. I don't use them, ever cause it never fits me)
I already have a hair-dye(ing) kit with me which includes the mixing bowl and a brush. It's not necessary but I just think it's easier than using the bottle.
So first, I emptied the developer into the mixing bowl.
Then I added the colour cream. Try to squeeze out as much as you can, because this is what's gonna give it colour.
Added in the gloss serums that were provided in the box, and started mixing it and this is the colour I got.
Don't worry, it looks a little light now but it'll get darker and more red after awhile.
Just try your best to get all the hair dye onto every part of your hair.
Separating your hair into 4 sections really helps, and having someone else to do it for you is a big plus.
My boyfriend was having his exams, so I had to go at it, solo.
I left the hair dye in for about 45 minutes, because I know I have really stubborn hair. If you've got really weak/brittle/damaged hair then please don't leave it on for that long because it'll get damaged even more.
Then I washed it out and applied the conditioner that was provided in the box.

After:
So that's my hair after I washed it and did a little blow-drying.
*Note: Didn't use bleach to get these results. I repeat, NO BLEACH

My hair is naturally a little frizzy and wavy. I didn't want to curl it or straighten it cause I think that would give you guys a false look on the results.
I always feel betrayed whenever I see amazing results online, and then find out that it just looks great because they curled or straighten it with an iron.
I really really love the results.
The colour is so vibrant and red. And this hair dye doesn't dry out my hair at all, in fact it feels so soft and smooth.
Definitely going to stick to this one for a really long time, at least till' I can find a better one.
THE FINAL VERDICT
Pros:
Colour is very vibrant
Doesn't dry out hair
Cons:
Doesn't last long (red never lasts long)
Smell may be strong for some

Remember to use heat protectant whenever you're dealing with heat because it really helps in keeping your hair healthy and prevents it from drying out or getting damaged.
Like this NAK Thermal Shield I got in my June Lust Have It beauty box.
Also, you've got to use shampoo and conditioner specifically for colour-treated hair or else your red is going to fade like the wind!
Well, I hope you guys liked this review/tutorial.
Till' next time!
Have a nice day everyone.

DeleteWow~ The result looks not bad! It's been a long long time since I DIY for the hair dye.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) haha I DIY my hair ever since I got out of high school. I've only been to salon to dye my hair ONCE and it was a disaster.
DeleteI loved this shade! I dare not use chemical colors though and prefer henna.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have to use chemicals because henna won't work for my hair. My hair is really way too dark for it!
Deleteu r so good in DIY. I can't do it as the color will always turn out imbalance. :(
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Maybe cause I've had lots of practice. I not only dye my own hair, but my mum and my friends too!
DeleteLove the bright shade on you! The color is so balance too >.< I can only use bubble dye haha!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Hehe yeah I've had practice :) Bubble Dyes are really great but I feel like the colour doesn't deposit as much as these types
DeleteLove the color payout that the product did for your hair strands. It looks really good and doing a DIY on this can't be all that easy. Kudos for doing it well :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) I've had practice. haha
DeleteThe Colour is so strong I can't believe it is a home diy dye! Is it due to the fact that the natural light makes it look so bright?
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm sure natural lighting contributes to it but even at night you can tell I have bright red hair :)
DeleteLovely shade of red... And it does what it says.. how amazing... Will look into this
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Yes it's really great!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) haha this colour is perfect too because very "ang" ;)
DeleteThe colour looks great on you! Your skills not bad wey! How do you manage to match your ends so well!! :O
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Well I get two boxes for hair length shoulders and below so that there's enough to fully saturate the ends and the entire hair so the colour is even :)
DeleteToo bad you don't have a picture with your roots, to see if they are red, not orange. I have dark too but I'm afraid to try it because of this. Thx
