I've found a place online to purchase Schwarzkopf Igora Royal professional hair color. A former stylist, now moved out of state, used these products on my hair with excellent results. Now I wish to color my hair using these products at home. What I'm wondering is where I can go to find the appropriate Schwarzkopf formula to maintain a Level 2 Dark Ash Brown on hair that is naturally Level 5 Light Ash Brown with 25% grey? There is a beauty supply store nearby that sells Schwarzkopf products to professionals. Would they have a swatch book available, and if so, would it list the formula to achieve my desired color? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. |

My stylist used the same brand on me to get me to red from black! It rocks! Is the site healthandbeautydepot.com or something? Unfortunately the only way u CAN purchase this color is online, otherwise u would have to ask a hairdresser to get it for u. And did u ask for the formula from ur previus stylist? I know this color line has some confusing numbers. For instance, i use shade 9-7 w/ 30 vol. which is medium intense copper blonde, and then i go over w/ a semi. I managed to get the color through my aunt who is a professional hairdresser. If u get a chance to go w/ a stylist to get schwarzkopf color, u could check out the color chart to find a match to the shade u have on ur hair. Also keep in mind that since u go darker, u don't need a high volume of developer. I know Ebay regularly sells this color line and it is my personal favorite. My black hair lifts 9 nine levels w/ this product using just 30 vol. Tell me if u need more advice! |

| Veronica, thanks so much for your responses. Unfortunately, my old stylist is long gone in another state and I have absolutely no friends or relatives who are licensed cosmetologists. I think I'll get over to the store that sells Schwarzkopf and see if there is a swatch book with formulas. Once I know my formula, I know what to do. And yep, you're right -- 20 Volume developer works just right for my hair. |

| Success! I went to my local high-end beauty supply store and the staff was very helpful in giving me my Schwarzkopf formula. Thanks to an earlier post on this site, I was then able to go to http://store.hello-gorgeous.net/scigoxlo.html - http://store.hello-gorgeous.net/scigoxlo.html to purchase the Igora Royal colors and developer I needed. This website rocks! |
