Igora Royal Permanent Color Creme 60ml - Absolutes 5-50 Light Brown Gold Natural

I loved it. It doesnt have a scent. Its a build able foundation so you can either use it light coverage or make it full coverage. Its easily blend-able. You can use your fingers, brush, or sponge. It doesnt set right away so you have time to work with it. Its a matte but its not a complete matte its like maybe a satin finish. But my oily girls youll love it. You really dont need a ton of product. A little goes a long way. Its a great foundation!

Absolutes Silver is everything, LOVE IT!

I ordered a tube of Slate and a tube of Silver. The Slate by itself is VERY dark, almost black, but it's amazing for making a shadow root and for mixing with the Silver. The Silver on its' own is an absolute(s) dream. It truly is Silver! I was worried about green undertones and will be watching as the colors fade (easily if temporarily fixed if that happens) but I will be ordering more of this perfect silver. Applies so easily, does not dry out or damage hair, mix 1:1, I use 20 volume, let process for about a half hour, rinsed then shampooed with a sulfate free shampoo and used a good silicone free rinse out conditioner. My hair feels wonderful! And the shine from this color, it's almost metallic. It's everything I wanted when I decided I wanted silver hair! Note ... MoreI ordered a tube of Slate and a tube of Silver. The Slate by itself is VERY dark, almost black, but it's amazing for making a shadow root and for mixing with the Silver.

Note you should have a very light base and tone so your hair is as even as possible for Silver. The Slate may be more forgiving. I mixed 1 ounce Slate with about an inch of silver along with 1 ounce plus 1 teaspoon (I guess-timated for the silver addition) for my shadow root (which needs to be a bit darker), then used Silver straight 1:1 for my lengths and used a very very wide tooth comb to comb the 2 colors through my hair once to try to blend them in together. It worked. Adding a picture (face blurred) so you can get an idea of the 2 colors together.

Amazing Brush

I think I like the brush more than the actual products. The shampoo and conditioner is amazing, but the brush is even more amazing. I will have to buy another set of this just for the bamboo brush. The scent is invigorating, but it takes a lot of the volume out of my hair. If your looking for a product that smoothes and straightens this is it. It leaves your hair shiny and flat. I would use it, but not every day. I prefer Super Skinny products and like more fullness to my hair.

Great

The little bottle of mist opened somehow and the entire packaging of this product was wet. The cardboard it came in completely soaked. The shampoo and conditioner were great. I didn't get to use the small bottle of mist cause it was opened and all over the cardboard packaging and made a mess. Hairbrush is great and so were small sample packs.

I haven't received yet... However, this is info only for other's

As stated in the previous commentt hat the color washed out & doesn't last.... The description for the product is misleading that it is a hair "color", not "toner: Luckily I have done my research & apparently this is only a "Temporary" color toboost your original color that you are applying. I found the following info on http://www.esteticamagazine.com/eventsnews/item/8435-take-your-creativity-to-the-next-level-with-igora-royal-pearlescence"For example, Jurenas explained that you could use a hint of black to create a smokier effect and intensified look. Or use a bit of IGORA ROYAL D-0 to change the colors to softer pastel tones. To make the IGORA ROYAL Pearlescence pastels last longer and intensify you can simply add 2g of the matching IGORA ROYAL Concentrate ... MoreAs stated in the previous commentt hat the color washed out & doesn't last....

My only suggestion is to ALWAYS do full research on a product prior to puchasing

Lovely Natural Gray Color

Love the Schwarzkopf Line for the Royal Absolutes Silverwhites. I use the Dove Grey and the Lilac Grey together which is blended by my professional hair colorist. I am in my 60's with Latina heritage so I have thick, straight, healthy hair, that is now naturally white. I purchase the Schwarzkopf color separately as my colorist agrees that it is superior to the lines carried at the salon. This place is not cheap! I am still paying over $200 to get my hair done which is almost shoulder length. The colors fade evenly. My hair is soft. Advice! Be sure to use Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. If you go to a salon where the stylist says, "all shampoos have sulfates." run! My color lasts about 6 weeks, but my hair looks healthy and not dry.

Mixed Feelings

I just got this and had to do a strand test. After doing the allergy test of course. Well the strand test ended up with me doing my roots to about halfway down on the undersides of the front sides of my hair. Which was very light, about a 10 and toned already. Slate is DARK, like if you left it on for the full 30 to 45 minutes with I'm going to guess 10 volume (deposit only) you'd have black or close to black hair. I was expecting a dark slate grey. I used 20 volume, used a tint brush to apply to roots and then smoothed down so there wouldn't be a line and luckily only processed for about 20 minutes. Took pretty well, except on my white hair that's coming in (I thought this was for grey or white hair?). Please note that this Slate has a green kind of ashy undertone. ... MoreI just got this and had to do a strand test. After doing the allergy test of course.

See attached picture for where it didn't take and how dark next to that it is and the green undertone in the Slate. I'm not sure if I should get one of the Igora Pearlescence, maybe in coral (which looks more pink) and add just a bit in to help neutralize the green. Green is not my color! And I don't want purple or lilac or blue. I want a nice neutral grey. I did get the silver also, but have not tested that yet. Need to do the roots all over with the darker Slate, then I'll deal with the silver. The plan is the dark root going into silver.I would still recommend the Igora for low scent, easy application, a little goes a long way and it did not damage or dry out my hair which is a miracle having fine, thin, aging hair.

Review of Schwarzkopf Professional Igora Royal Absolutes Permanent Hair Colour - 6-70 Dark Blonde Copper Natural 60ml

Such a natural deep copper. BUT your online info for this shade is INCORRECT. Yes, this is for grey hair, but if you have MORE than 90% grey hair you MUST use 20vol not 30vol as you state. It says so on the Schwarzkopf site itself. ❤️

Review of Schwarzkopf Professional Igora Royal Absolutes Silverwhite Demi-Permanent Hair Colour - Silver 60ml

I usually use Wella products for my silver hair. They always leaving me wishing they had done more. I tried Igora and it is winning as it blended my silver tones well. Still not quite there but I was happier with the end result.

confusing directions, need more than one tube

Obviously someone at Schwarzkopf knows that these "professional only" products are going to get into the hands of mere mortals who will possibly pay as much as $11.00 a tube for them. Then they should inform these home stylists of exactly what the product is, a toner, a permanent hair color or a semi-permanent one. They could even go one better and give sane instructions. I will do that now. For the silver white, you are going to get a dark platinum result. Maybe even too old-ladyish. Your hair must be taken (newly) up to a very high blonde, or at least medium high. Unless you have a very head hugging short style you will need at least two of these tubes. I should have had three to take the stress out. Having even blonde all over, I would probably go with a 20 or 30 ... MoreObviously someone at Schwarzkopf knows that these "professional only" products are going to get into the hands of mere mortals who will possibly pay as much as $11.00 a tube for them.

Having even blonde all over, I would probably go with a 20 or 30 developer. Or do streaks of 20 and 20 and 40. Start at the roots, not the grown out areas the package seems to indicate, then going back to the roots. You want an even color of silver, you can always come back a few days later and put brighter highlights in.
