oh donna, you also cannot mix up a batch and keep it.  it must be used as soon as possible after mixing with the developer.  you could not mix tube cream color and leave it for overnight...you can just use the tube and mix it as you go using it right then, without worrying if it has gone bad as opposed to the liquid.  Smile
happy coloring

hey donna, where do you go to get the schwartzkoph?  around here you have to be a pro to get it....wish it was not that way....i really like their products....rebekah is right...tube color you can use as you go....liquid not so...i don't think you would have to use a color remover since you are going black.  using color remover is usually when color comes out too dark or if you hate the color.  good luck donna....yes, just go purchase more and make sure it is nice and fresh when you apply to your hair.
happy coloring

Once you open a liquid permanent dye the ammonia reacts immediately with the oxygen in the air and starts to break it down.  If you want to save a permanent dye then purchase the cream type in the tube instead.  Otherwise the liquid has to be used right away! 
 
I think you can just buy the same stuff and try again too.
 
Good luck and I hope this helps.

I've recently been trying to dye my hair black. I initially bought a semi-permanent but it didn't work terribly well so i decided to use permanent (Schwarzkopf Live Deep Black XXL). I mixed the product and applied it to a few sections of my hair to test the results. It appeared to work well so i stored the mixture overnight in a cupboard in a sealed bottle and applied it to the rest of my hair the next day. The mixture was now black in the bottle, rather than brown like it was when i initially mixed it, and it hasn't worked. It seems to have had no effect other than perhaps to have removed some of the semi-permanent color that was left in there. My hair is now a mix of black and something approximately resembling my natural color (dark blonde/light brown). 
Could anyone tell me why the dye hasn't worked properly after being stored for a day (something to do with oxidation?). Any what do i now need to do. Can i simply go out, buy a new load of the Schwarzkopf dye i used and apply it to the brown areas, or do i need to look at getting some kind of color remover and starting again from scratch? HELP PLEASE.
