Schwarzkopf’s new LIVE Color XXL Ultra Brights collection is the ultimate in neon bright and extra vibrant hair colours.

LIVE Color XXL Ultra Brights is a collection of three brand new semi-permanent strikingly intense and colourful shades including Fiery Copper, Raspberry Rebel and Pillar Box Red.

Apply to pre-lightened hair for the brightest colour, use on your normal hair for a vibrant colour boost, or mixed with your daily conditioner for pretty pastel results. Be brave. Be Bright. Get noticed.

The semi-permanent formula gives you electrifying, bright and colourful shades full of vivid shine.

LIVE Color XXL Ultra Brights washes out in 6-15 washes dependent on the colour you apply your Ultra Brights shade to. For a colour refresh, in between permanent home-hair colouring, save a small amount of colour crème; when hair colour starts to fade, mix the remaining colour crème with the contents of the second conditioner sachet and spread the mixture evenly onto your hair. Leave in for 20 minutes. After rinsing, your hair colour will be significantly recharged!

Schwarzkopf LIVE Color XXL Ultra Brights (SRP £5.49) is available from Boots, Superdrug, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Savers, Tesco, Wilkinson, Bodycare and Independent Chemists nationwide. For more information visit www.livecolor.com or ‘like us’ at www.facebook.com/schwarzkopflivecolorxxl.
