Schwarzkopf Got2b Metallics Permanent Hair Color, M83 Urban Mauve

I started with jet black hair.First I used a color stripper to pull out the black. Then coated my hair with K18 leave in mask. Didn’t wash for three days.This brought my hair to a burnt orange color.Then I used wella developer- a 30- with manic panic bleach. Coated in K18 leave in mask and my hair was lifted to a 9.Again- no washing for three days to allow the hair to rest and let the k18 do its job.Washed finally. Coated again in k18 and waited two days- then applied this hair color.Most importantly- when using got2b- follow the directions. Rinse the color out only- do not use shampoo and conditioner- that’s why so many reviews say the color washed right down the drain.Rinse throughly in cold water- not hot- not lukewarm.Apply the after color conditioner- let it set for the minimum two minutes- I let it set for 5-10.Rinse. Towel dry.I got the exact color on the box the first time around.Here’s the thing- this will not work on hair color any darker than a 7-8. So there’s a lot of reviews that say it’s crap….it's not- if you’re literate.After you’ve towel dried- another healthy coat of k18 won’t hurt. Then again- don’t wash your hair for 72 hours. After processing your follicles are wide open- and using shampoo will take the color right out.Let your natural oils return- use a damn good mask- and follow directions.For 12$ this is the best silver gray I’ve ever used. Will 100% use it again. Have been to numerous salons looking to get my natural gray blended and no one could do it.

love this colour. good result, will buy again, left a nice shine on hair

My hair is dark brown, with a bit of reddish gold and grey in it. I wanted to cover it up and get out the red. I thought this would be a nice color change. I haven't dyed my hair in years, so everything was fresh. My hair is past my shoulders and curly, so I bought 2 boxes. It was best to buy 2 boxes because the first box really only covered half my hair.I used a dark blue towel to cover with. The gloves are a big size, which is good because I have big hands. One of the tubes started to split while squeezing it, so you really need to wear gloves from the start.This dye stinks. Stinks of ammonia. When I spent several minutes rinsing out the dye. When I dried off, I used a white towel, and blue got all over it. I decided that I would rinse it again the next day because I was tired of rinsing.The next day, I just used conditioner to rinse my hair with. When I dried my hair off, with a new towel, there was still blue on that towel as well.The next day, I shampooed and conditioned my hair. Still stinks.Rinsed my hair the next day. Still stinked.Today is Thursday and my hair still stunk. I just shampooed and conditioned my hair and I can still smell faint ammonia. This is very frustrating.On a side note, their conditioner smells very good but that does nothing for this horrible ammonia smell.My scalp also itches, even though I did a patch test on my arm and my arm doesn't itch.I'm never doing box dye again. It'll be henna next time or a wig.To add, the color came out as expected for my hair color, but it's just not worth it.

Worked great on husbands blonde hair!

I got this color hoping for the light and icy silver that's on the front of the box, heck I would have even settled for slightly darker, but even though my hair was incredibly light blonde before dying, it turned my hair a weird dark blueish grey instead... Application is also spotty despite saturating my entire head.Perhaps it was user error, but I am definitely saddened that it went so dark and is so patchy when the box showed that my color would turn the silver I wanted.Hoping that it will lighten with a few washes.

Metalic hair color. I've used this color before and really liked it. But now I'm gray headed and thought it would work and it doesnt. So disappointed.

I had faded BLACK hair and wanted something different and to not have gray roots showing, so I bleached out the black dye ( did it two times in a week with a 40% developer) and waited a few days (directions said wait 14 days but I never follow directions...child of the rebellious 1960's!!!) and used TWO boxes and my hair was just the color of butterscotch yellow when I used this dye. I was not sure how well it would work, but my motto is NO GUTS, NO GLORY.....so I put it in and was SO pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. The first photo is taken inside and the second is outside (the blue is a wax I put in for fun). I was kinda surprised at how much smaller this hair dye was as far as box size and contents. Never used one like that and I have been coloring my own hair for 55 years. I have had it colored now for a couple of weeks (I do not wash my hair but once a week and use a "purple" shampoo to keep the yellow out) and I am still very happy with it. I actually just bought a box (regular size...go figure) of their Metallic Blue to add some fun to the silver. The black I had used was also from this company and it was the first time I had ever used any product from this company. Very happy with all my results.
