Does the 74 deep copper shimmer bleach your hair or is it just color?
7558
The answer is a little complicated, but to summarize, yes to both. L'Oreal Feria 74 Deep Copper Shimmer is just the colour, shimmer component, and conditioner to colour and soften your hair. It does not include professional bleach in the kit, but it does contain ammonium and certain alcohols so your hair should lighten a bit while it develops. If you think that your hair is too dark to get the desired shade from it, you may want to check Amazon or a local beauty supply store for professional bleaching options before applying this colour. There is a panel on the side of the L'Oreal Feria packages that shows the expected shade based off of your starting hair colour, which I have borrowed from Google and can be viewed here: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51QvFS8eurL.jpg. Happy colouring!

For this color you don't have to I think !!! Because I'm having purple hair right now since I couldn't have mine silver. (But I use SPLAT kit, their bleach is super amazing, my hair always got burned even just for 5 mins with other bleaches but with splat bleach I left for 1 hour and my hair doesn't have any problems^^) 2nd thing you need to know, The Pravana is not permanent color.my experience was that After 8or10 shampoos the colors get faded (with splat it's the same cause the both are not permanent) I hope you will have the color you want. Good luck. And share if you know how to get grey smokey hair color please. For this color you don't have to I think !!! Because I'm having purple hair right now since I couldn't have mine silver.

Shimmer, but not too much shimmer. It's just right! And it lasts forever. A little goes a long way. You'll love it!

No! The shampoo is purple but it brings out the sparkle in gray/silver hair without changing the color. I've only recently allowed my natural color to grow in after years of being a "blonde". Using the shampoo I'd used for years made my hair dull and rather frizzy, a problem I'd never encountered as I have straight, silky hair. Pantene Silver made a huge difference and even without conditioner the texture is soft and manageable. I highly recommend this product. Similar products are considerably more expensive but why pay for a salon "name" when this works as well?

No, it's made for white or silver hair so that's where Platinum comes from. It does not lighten your hair, but does give the hair a healthy shiny finish.

I'm not entirely sure about the orange. I would recommend before spending this much, going to Sally's Beauty Supply and getting a small bottle of shimmer lights. The orange may be too much - it's typically to "tone down" brassiness. Good luck.

My natural hair color has a ginger tint to it, which probably contributed to the brassy state this bleach left me with. Definitely don't get this bleach, using it on reddish hair will probably only leave you with an orange mess, like it did with me x

No, it's just a good everyday color treated hair shampoo, try matrix so silver shampoo it's purple and it works great for my blonde hair.. :)

If thats your natural color it should still be a nice shade of purple. If you were to bleach it using the lowest developer, the color would stand out more. I did it on red/magenta hair and a nice purple blue came out.

I used this color at a salon, and to getthe deep purple I wanted They needed to lift some of my natural color first. (I have dark brown hair) Now it looks amazing, but its a dark purple.

Yes it does. Your hair does not develop a blue/purple color with daily use. It very effectively keeps my silver/white hair from developing a yellowish color from chlorine pool, sun and hard water.

This shampoo does not change hair color, it just prevents silver from turning yellow and makes hair look healthy. I really like it.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be electric blue if you don't lighten your hair (I used manic panic 40 volume hair bleach, didn't burn my scalp or make my hair look like someone teased my hair and used crappy, old hairspray) and yes it is! But i'd lighten first, otherwise it's going to come out darker brown.

That's actually what I did when I bought mine, I am not an expert, but I kind of had a little blonde left from the last time and brightened the very ends with the manic panic flash. It worked, but be sure to use brightening shampoo or the recommended brightening toner with this or your hair does get dark and brassy again. Other than that, works great.

My hair was brown/black. It takes really well and for long periods of time. But beware, it STAINS everything it touches and even straight up bleach won't get rid of the stains. It also stains your skin really bad

I have a lot of blond and highlights & lowlights, and it works fine on my hair....hardly any fading at all. Not sure about bleach, might want to ask your hairdresser first.

These products are different. Unfortunately Nexxus no longer makes Simply Silver. Platinum Pro leaves your hair with a purple tint. Simply Silver lived up to it's name. It left your hair simply silver.
