Is Colour-Fade the Reason You Say No to Unicorn Hair?

I LOVE unnatural hair colours. Mermaid hair. Rainbow hair. Unicorn hair. Emo hair. Funky hair. Bright hair. Whatever you call it, you know what I'm talking about right? Hair colour not found naturally. Green. Blue. Pink. Yellow. Purple. Orange. All at once, or alone, I'm a fan.

What I'm not a fan of? Maintenance. Because, although unicorn hair can be nothing more than a fun fling, for those who want to rock it for the long-term, it's actually rather high maintenance. And even though the innovations in bright colour are advancing massively, even the best colours can't combat the effect things like heat styling, sun rays, chlorine or deep conditioning (yeap you heard us right!) have on your colour. All of these things cause your hair colour to fade more rapidly. Heck. Even one hair wash can impact the intensity of bright colour.

Those clever folks at Schwarzkopf have launched a product for us rainbow-loving ones that is going to boost and prolong the colour of our pink, purple, blue or pastel grey hair. And of course - we're going to be sending it out for review.

Available in four shades, the LIVE Colour Boost Shampoo keeps coloured hair bright and vibrant. Specifically formulated to boost your favourite LIVE Colour. This shampoo can be used in three ways:

To refresh and prolong the vibrancy of your LIVE hair colour
To boost the intensity of your LIVE colour
To create soft pastel hues on a light hair base (natural or pre-lightened)

Each member of our Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour Boost trial team will receive 2 packs of Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour and the matching Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour Boost Shampoo in the shade of their choice.

I love bright hair but unless I want go through the bleaching faze of my early 20s, I will have to stay with my au natural dark brown. It's sad but it is what it is I suppose.

I like the look but not the maintenance although the thing that keeps me back from rocking fun colors is that I would have to bleach my black brown hair and that would damage it then I there's the cost of dying it and then the maintenance. It all adds up and I just don't like to spend big bucks on a dye job before I've had a single grey hair.

I used to love getting bright purple put through the underneath of my hair until I had a bad job done my the hairdresser and my beautiful bold purple became old lady lavender. Definitely not a fan of the fade and would definitely go back to using my purple if I could get it to hold its color better. Love the look of the Schwarzkopf Purple

Color fade doesn't actually bother me anymore, with bright bold colors it fades to a lovely pastelly hue, so my vibrant pink and orange becomes a muted pink and a peach. I love it. Im here for all the maintenance! Id love to trial this shampoo, it sounds right up my alley.
