Schwarzkopf Live Ultra Brights/Pastel in Purple Punk
I received a fantastic parcel filled with the latest and best haircare products from Schwarzkopf a few weeks ago and the Schwarzkopf Live Ultra Brights/Pastel in Purple Punk hair colour was in there too. Most people know that I’m not afraid of colour, I love vibrant shoes, earrings, nail polishes - well basically wherever a dash of colour is needed. And in all honesty, I’ve wanted to dye my tresses a bright, trendy shade for so long.
I’m not keen on putting highlights in my hair as it always courses split ends, breakage and that horrible straw like appearance. So, I decided since my own hair is a mousy shade with a bit of natural golden streaks, I was going to apply the Schwarzkopf Live Ultra Brights/Pastel in Purple Punk hair colour just like that. For more intense results they recommend you to lighten your locks and if you have naturally blond hair that’s even better.
The kit contains
- 1 Tube of Ultra Brights Colour Cream
- 2 Sachets of Conditioner
- A pair of gloves and an instruction leaflet
I used the entire tube of Ultra Brights Colour Cream on my short hair and it came out beautifully! I was going for the ultra-bright effect where there’s no mixing involved, the hair dye is applied onto your hair straight from the tube. (Well, you can transfer it to a glass bowl if you like.) To create the pastel effect (this will only work on light blond hair) you are supposed to mix the Ultra Brights Colour Cream with 1 sachet of conditioner.
Furthermore, I love that there are no nasty intense chemical smells involved, I was sitting in front of the TV watching the Kardashians while the colour developed. I kept it on for a good 30 minutes because I wanted the promised electrifying, bold and bright results which are what I got.
When I’m outside the colour is obviously even better so don’t let the somewhat maroon appearing images of my hair in this post deceive you, the purple punk is there. The included conditioner left my hair shiny and soft and here I am, on trend in my new purple hairdo.
This is a semi-permanent colour and I’m kinda excited to see how it will fade. Overall I’m really happy with my new look, I will definitely try out the other colours in this range. I'm thinking of going pink and maybe blue who knows... I might even put in a few highlights as I would really like these shades to pop.

Also, the Schwarzkopf Live Ultra Brights/Pastel in Purple Punk hair colouring kit was sponsored by Schwarzkopf but this is my own and honest review.
