    Nice and easy

    I have now used the color 883, which is unfortunately sold out on Lyko - bring it back! It is so good! Covers gray hair well, maybe not 100%, but enough for me to be satisfied. I will definitely continue to use this as it is so close to my natural hair color. Easy to apply, nice result that lasts long and such a nice shine. Highly recommend! #lykoreview

    Doesn't cover gray hair.

    Just tried this for the first time. The color was nice, but my gray hairs are still gray... So I'm giving up on my quest for a home dye that covers gray hair. My go-to was Loreal's Excellence Creme, but they changed the formula last year and since then it hasn't covered gray hair either.

    Mixable?

    Can you mix two shades? I usually use Autumn brown, but I want a slightly lighter color with more copper. I was thinking of mixing 50/50 with Boho copper.

      Hey Marre! 🌸 Absolutely, you can mix two shades in Schwarzkopf Brillance to get a middle variant between them. If you take 50/50 of Autumn Brown and Boho Copper, you'll get a slightly lighter color with more copper tones than just Autumn Brown. Mix carefully and feel free to test on a strand first, so you can see how the shade turns out on your hair before applying it to the whole head 🥰 Good luck in your home salon 🎨

    Risk of turning green?

    867 - the last digit, i.e. the 7, stands for matte/green. Is there a risk that my bleached and dry lengths will turn green from this?

      Hey Marie! 👋🏼 The 7 in this color stands for the shade brown 🤎 Since you have light hair, I do not recommend applying such a dark shade without first pre-pigmenting with warm pigments. Otherwise, you risk the hair becoming discolored 🙈 This one from Wella is great for pre-pigmenting lyko.com/sv/wella-professionals/unpublished-wella-color-fresh-7-44 Take care! 🌸

    My favorite ❤️

    This has been my favorite for years! I have dark hair underneath and love how burgundy my hair gets from it. I usually add a red color bomb afterwards if I want a slightly more intense color or to freshen up the color after a few months since it, like all red colors, fades a bit after several washes and sunlight. I usually dye my hair after 2 months.

    Great consistency for at-home coloring and easy to use!

    I've tried many hair dyes and this has become my absolute favorite. I easily get migraines from strong smells, but I don't get that from this. ❤️

    Very satisfied

    Very satisfied with boho copper, had blonde hair before so the color set well. Faded slowly but surely over about 8 weeks - as expected with red colors.

    Copper

    Is there anything you can do to get a less intense color? I want copper-colored hair but not such an intense color, is there something you can put in your hair or mix to make it a 'softer' color?

      Hey Sofie! 👋🏼 This color doesn't really have a perfect match to dilute the pigments with, so I thought I would recommend that you check out the colors from Olia instead 🎨 With these, you can mix their copper color with a natural color to get a less intense shade 🧡 How much of each you mix is up to you depending on the desired intensity. Copper: lyko.com/sv/garnier/garnier-olia-7.40-intense-copper Natural color: lyko.com/sv/garnier/garnier-olia-7.0-dark-blond This mixture also has the same lightness as 921 👌🏼 Hope this could be helpful! Take care ☃️

    921 boho copper 🧡

    The perfect refresh for my winter-tired ginger hair ✨️ gives a slightly deeper tone, keeps the shine for a long time, and is easy to apply on myself, despite almost waist-length hair ✨️ #lykoreview

  • Difference between the reds

    What is the difference between Intense red and Cashmere red? Looks very similar to me.

      Hey hey Maja-Stina The difference between these is that Intense Red is a 5 in darkness level, while Cashmere Red is a 6. So Intense Red is a shade darker Besides this, Cashmere has more red undertones, so it becomes a bit more intensely red I hope this helps you choose a shade! Good luck ❤️

    Cashmere red

    A color that actually stuck to my hair! I have glass hair and red has a hard time sticking to me, but this one did! Then I top it off with Revlon's color treatments, so it might not have lasted that long, but enough at least.
