This is colour number 28 in the Napro LIVE Colour range, and the box contained:
- 1 Bottle of LIVE Colour Gel (40ml)
- 1 Bottle Developer (50ml)
- 1 Tube LIVE Colour Conditioner (22.5 ml)
- 1 Pair of Gloves
- 1 Instruction Leaflet
Instructions were pretty simple: mix together the developer and the colour gel, apply to damp hair, leave for 30 minutes or so, then rinse out and condition hair with the conditioner provided...
I have to give them points for the whole mixing colour and developer doohickey they had going on ... the colour was in a bottle that, after removing the lid, screwed into the base of the developer solution, and they all mixed together nicely in an easy to hold bottle... but wait, there's more! Not only was the bottle easy to hold, but there was none of this snipping off the end of the applicator bottle, no, we got a screw-cap nozzle! Whoa, Trippy! They don't get bonus points for the gloves they provided though ... not very well fitting standard issue freezer bag-like plastic gloves folded into a little rectangle... We'll have to hunt down the hair dye that gave the gloves in a little capsule... that was kewl (:
Application was easy... with a big peroxide smell ... and the whole exothermic reaction going ... lovely warm bottle ... or maybe I've had a bit of practice now? The colour applied was already a pretty bright red-orange-brown colour, and I have a tendency to colour more than just Decay's hair ... normally there's stuff on his forehead and ears and neck by the time I've finished doing his hair ... it was a little more difficult to remove the colour before he rinsed his hair, so it left him with a bit of an orange tinge to his skin ... either that or my eyes are all funny. Anyway, the orange tinge disappeared once he'd done the rinse and condition ...
Result? Um... last night Decay had some very red verging on orange hair... it was a bit brassy looking ... and doesn't match his eyebrows as well as the last colour managed ... It's not quite so brash this morning though so it looks ok ... I'm still of the opinion that Decay is suited to being a redhead (:
Rating? 8/10 ... I liked the colour mixing system ... we'll see how long this colour lasts then?
