Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL Brights-Raspberry Rebel Review

So over the weekend, I stripped my hair back down from red to blonde so I could dye my hair a bright colour.  (See my last post to see how I managed to strip it!)

After stripping my hair, I was advised to only use semi-permanant dyes on my hair for at least 4 weeks. So I headed down to Boots to purchase a new Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL semi-perminant hair dye. I originally wanted to go bright red, so I was going to get the Pillar Box Red shade, but after seeing the Raspberry Rebel shade I fell in love with the idea of having pink hair! So I purchased that one!

I couldn't wait to try the hair dye so I got home, grabbed an old towel and dampened my hair as instructed in the leaflet in the box. The hair dye comes in a tube, and you don't have to mix it with other solutions. It's really easy to apply, but make sure you use a glove! This stuff stains everything! I started the hair dyeing process with mint coloured nails and finished the process with bright purple nails...

So I covered my hair with the dye and sat around for 20 minutes, waiting to rinse it off. A good thing about the XXL Brights is that the formula is like a cream and it doesn't drip and run like your normal hair dyes.

After 20 minutes I rinsed my hair until the water ran clear and ran to my bedroom mirror.

WOW! I seriously love the colour. At first it was more red than pink, but after the first wash, it is now bright pink!

It does look red on here for some strange reason, but I promise it is bright pink!

I will definatly be sticking to this hair dye now. It lasts for up to 8 washes, but in my opinion it is cheap to keep maintaining the colour at £4.00 a box. Plus, with my hair being short I have some left in the tube for a quick refresh. As well as that, it isn't as harsh on your hair than a permanant dye and you can wait for the colour to fade and try another colour for a week!

I definatly recommend this dye for anyone daring enough to have a bright hair colour that stands out a mile and is super, super cute!

If anyone has used this shade or any of the other two, I would love if you commented to tell me how it looks and how long it lasted for you! I really want to try the other two shades! Pictures and comments pleaseeeee :)
