Colour can change the way the world sees you and how you feel about it. It's an emotional, intense and instant transformation that expresses your personality and your individual style.
Before you decide to colour your hair you carefully consider what you want. This will give you confidence deciding on a colour direction and help you identify the best product for you:

Whatever you want...
...Schwarzkopf offers you a wide variety of choice.
Colour products typically fall in to the following categories:
Level 1: Semi-Permanent Colour
Semi-permanent dyes use direct, pre-developed colour molecules, which remain on the surface of the hair. Consequently this category of colours washes out after 12 shampoos.
Level 2: Longer lasting semi-permanent Colour
Longer lasting semi-permanent colours typically wash out in 24 shampoos and are gentle on the hair.
Level 3: Permanent Colour
Great for long-lasting vibrant colour as it locks the colour pigments deep within the hair's inner structure. Shifts in tonal level are also possible during the colouring process creating vibrant colour results. Bleach is actually classified as a permanent colour although it works by reducing the amount of colour pigments in the hair. Permanent colours typically don't wash out, they grow out.
Top tip: if you fancy a big change, it's best not to leap straight in with a permanent colour, instead use a semi-permanent option to see if you can 'live' with it first.
