Review: Beautiful shade - I love both this shade of plum and the deep bordeaux. When you first colour your hair it will go quite dark almost black but after 2 washes it then goes a gorgeous deep plum that eventually fades to a beautiful deep burgundy and I love how it even works on dark hair, the deep red is also a beautiful shade and it conditions your hair while it colours it, absolutely the best dye for these plums and deep red shades ♥️ ♥️
Review: Shocked (in the Best Way!) by the Grey Coverage 👏🏼 - I’m a hairdresser who usually sticks to salon formulas, but I needed a quick fix—and honestly? This delivered. The grey coverage was excellent, even on stubborn roots, and the tone came out as a cool, natural brunette without any of those dreaded red or warm hues. Application was smooth, no harsh smell, and my hair felt soft and conditioned afterwards—not stripped or dry. Would I recommend it as a regular go-to? Maybe not for lifting or big changes—but for grey coverage in a pinch? Absolutely. It’s a lot better than you’d expect from a boxed colour.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rich colour and less damage — but mixed fading experience
*by S***N on 21 July 2025*

I recently tried Schwarzkopf Oleo Intense Permanent Oil Colour (shade 4‑60 Gold Brown), and here’s my honest take: ✅ What I Liked: Ammonia-free, oil-based formula, enriched with fair-trade argan oil, which left my hair noticeably soft, shiny, and stronger post-dye—especially when using the deep-conditioning oil mask included. Delivers bold, long-lasting colour with up to 100% grey coverage, especially effective on shades suited for dark blonde to brown tones. Contains patented HaptIQ bonding tech, which Schwarzkopf claims reduces breakage by up to 90%—and my hair did feel less brittle after use.
