The Pursuit of Natural Color
I decided that it was time to go to 'au natural' I'm naturally a very dark brown and I chose something a bit lighter than my natural brown. Since my best friend swears by Schwarzkopf's Shake it Up Foams, I decided to give it a go. I chose the 'Dark Chocolate Delight' shade.
I used the shade on the bottom furthest right I DO NOT OWN THIS IMAGE
Before
Violet by Directions over Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in Cyber Purple |
After
Schwarzkopf it Up Foam in Dark Chocolate Delight |
The Verdict
Were the instructions easy to understand for the mixing?
Yes, I would daresay that the 'shake it up' dyes are even easier to mix than the regular Schwarzkopf box dyes. 5/5
Was the application straight-forward?
I found it very easy. I would say that it does drip a bit though. 3/5
Did the included conditioner work very well?
Yes, it was in a little sachet rather than a little tube which I would have preferred. The conditioner itself smelt lovely and made my hair very smooth. 3/5
Do I like the end result?
It is a MUCH DARKER brown than it shows on the 'milkshake' packaging. It did not cover all of the purple all that well. However, it was very shiny. Still, I was not very impressed at all. 2/5
Overall Rating
5+3+3+2 =13
Divide that by 4
3.25
To the nearest whole number, I would rate this 3/5
Would I use this again? No probably not. It IS a nice shade of brown, but definitely 2 shades darker than it shows on the packaging. I may still try out the other 'shake it up' foam dyes in different shades one day.
