Schwarzkopf Keratin Blonde Hair Dye, 11.1 High Lift Almond Blonde, Professional Quality Permanent Hair Color, Bond Enforcing System, Pre-Color Serum & Purple Conditioner Included

Beautiful almond blonde. My original hair had dyed brown ends and 3inch ash black natural regrowth. I had to start at the ends first because my natural hair takes to color super quick and this keeps my regrowth from being extra lighter than the rest. Color in the end came out as expected. My braiding hair or extensions to match this color are between or a blend of #4 and # 30 on the brown spectrum vs the orange/red side. I do wish it was a bit more moisturizing. It does not cover grays. Easy to follow instructions. 2nd use update: color came out even better after my second use. Such a nice golden almond color. I ditched my old golden blonde from another brand because it would turn orange. This dye color does not turn orange. I can do my braids with a blend of #30 and #27 and maybe a little #4 if I want to tone down the brightness. Even though it does not cover grey hair, it tones it a bit so it blends into color. Color has dimension to it and it makes my curls pop. My hair is soft which is different because my first time use made my hair feel lacking in conditioner but 2nd time hair felt great so gave it all 5 stars now.

I have my mom’s bday to attend. I really wanted to get it professionally done but I don’t have enough time to book an appointment. I bought 3 because I have really long curly thick hair. I used two but in hindsight I should have used all 3. It actually colored my dark roots and it added more blonde to my blonde highlights. However. I waited too long to cover my grey so I had about 4.5 inches of grey. It didn’t color the grey probably because I didn’t leave it long enough. I colored my grey at the crown last because I didn’t want it to turn out lighter than my hair. I think I also didn’t use enough to color the stubborn grey. Because I have highlight, my crown was often highlighted so my grey was almost a silver once the grey came in. The hair color did try to color the grey in some areas but I guess it was too resistant. In 2 weeks I will redo my roots with the 3rd box and focus on the crown:grey. It should cover the grey. But in any case it’s hat time until a few weeks pass. I’ll figure something out. Great product, color is really nice, comes with purple conditioner, size is appropriate. Great service by shipper. Recommend 👍👍

Does not cover gray hair at all

I bleached my hair 3x. The first photo is my color before (I had dyed it a looong time ago with ION hair dye in the darkest brown color and it showed up nearly black.) after the first bleach (almond blonde color) , it was still pretty dark, especially where the ION hair dye was (at the tips-mid length of my hair). I decided to bleach it again with the almond blonde, and again, it lightened it up but didn’t do very much. I bleached it one more time with the Platinum blonde color instead and it lightened up a lot! The last two photos is what it looked like after, with 1-2 uses of purple shampoo treatment. I like the almond blonde color but unfortunately it didn’t look that color when it lifted my hair and instead, my hair came out to be more of a red color, and it wasn’t able to fully lift the ION dye out of the ends of my hair, leaving me with darker tips. I like the bleach itself because the first 2 rounds of bleach, my hair was still pretty soft afterwards. It wasn’t until the 3rd round that my hair started to get a little frail and rough. I will probably buy again once my roots grow out more !

I was a little disappointed with the gray coverage because I had used 'Praline' by the same brand with excellent coverage results. Also, it wasn't as moisturizing.
