Color Ultime Hair Color Cream, 1.4 Sapphire Black (Packaging May Vary)

Didn't work on my dark hair even though it claims to work

I usually use garnier or L’Oréal but I find they fade so fast and my hair is back to brown in just a few washes so I tried this. I don’t know how long it’s going to last but so far I love how black it is. Most are a dark brown black but this one is black as midnight which is exactly what I wanted. My hair is smooth and very shiny, even my 8 year old daughter said this one looks really good! I hope it lasts longer than the others. Time will tell! I used the little left over in the bottom of the bottle and put it in my eyebrows with a q tip to match my hair and left it on my brows for 10 mins. They look great, make sure to use Vaseline around your hairline/ears/and around the skin on your brows as it does stain skin pretty heavy.

This is a fantastic hair dye! It is very dark with just a hint of blue in the sunlight, giving you that animated black hair effect. The treatment is also magic and sealed up my split ends easily leaving my hair soft AND colored! The only issue I have is that the dye is very strong, in fact it gets on everything and stains everything. Droplets where you rinse your hair will leave blue stains on the floor and on the sink- unless you have a porcelain or marble I truly believe you are cooked although I had some success with nail polish remover (it will come of skin this way). That being said, it also sticks in your hair for weeks. I am on 3 weeks post dye and it looks like day 1. I am still leaving a blue residue in my bathtub when I shower despite it diluting but if you can accept the permanence it is worth it. In fact, I re-ordered a second box and am giving five stars for it delivering quality but I would be cautious especially if you are renting or planing a trip where your hair might get wet.

I’ve used Schwarzkopf Color Ultime 1.4 Sapphire Black a few times now, and I’m really happy with how my hair turns out. What I notice most is how shiny and vibrant my hair looks after coloring — it doesn’t come out dull or flat like some other dyes I’ve tried. The color feels rich and deep, and there’s a healthy gloss that really catches the light. Even after a few weeks, the shine holds up well, and I don’t feel like my hair looks tired or faded. It also feels softer and smoother, which makes it easy to style. I get a lot of compliments on how lush and healthy my hair looks, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for. If you want a dark, intense color that still leaves your hair looking shiny rather than dull, this formula does a fantastic job.

I actually used Velvet Brown but I purchased macadamia brown but I was able to find it at CVS, nevertheless I’ve used the ULTIME box colors in VINTAGE RED, MAHOGANY RED, and now in VELVET BROWN. These are some of the best colors I’ve ever used the reds last long and are vibrant even on medium brown hair which mine is with gray at the temples, covers very very well. I wanted to go back brunette so I bought macadamia but with the shipping being so long because of covid I bit the bullet and went to CVS and got velvet brown and I love velvet brown, when I used it over the vintage red obviously it’s a bit more reddish than usual but the color is beautiful and a perfect chocolate warm brown and I just really enjoy using these colors. I always check to see if it recommends for gray hair if it doesn’t I wouldn’t use it on my grays, this one did an awesome job and it’s a real brown not black but of course it all depends on your starting color and if it’s already colored etc. always start at roots and then at the end add to your ends it never fails to work for me.

Good product, does bleed a lot but colour still holds. With this only have to dye my hair once a month instead of twice with other products I have used.
