help! I have seen a lot of people complaining about buying dye and finding out it was old and had oxidized before they even got to use it.

I had a problem with oxidation when I bought the color KK Mix in a tube on ebay. When I opened the tube, it was obvious because the color was darker than the prior tubes I'd bought, and it seemed drier. However, I ordered this canister of KK mix from Amazon and opened it about 5 weeks later. It was perfect. From the comments I've read that hair dressers have posted on Sleekhair dot com, the canisters last a long time, much longer than the tubes, because they are airtight.

I have never had this issue and I have bought Goldwell products online for years from different sites. Maybe you can ask the vendor how old the products are. I usually go with the vendors that have great reviews and so far so good. Good luck!

I had never bought hair color online. I was very satisfied with my Goldwell purchase. It seemed to be the same quality as what my hairdresser uses. I travel a lot and use this in between hair appointments with my hairdresser.

My dye wasn't bad/oxidized. I had a great experience with this hair color. First time buyer.

Have bought it for several years and there has never been a problem with it oxidizing. In fact, I am really surprised that anyone is even making such a comment that it does oxidize, because the pressurized container is air tight and one can only get the solution out by their special "contraption" that releases the solution. Could be the comments are coming from a competitor trying to attack the product, and maybe they are not familiar with the protective packaging. People do that you know (smile).

Mine wasn't but I have heard that same thing from other shoppers and hairstylists. I would go with a company that has good reviews rather than who is priced best.

I know it's worked if I didn't get sick; also used it in Africa, and had no adverse effects. The blue dye tells you when it is ready for use. I think the 500 uses is probably an arbitrary number, since there is no reason to expect it would not continue to work as long as the bag is intact.

Hi, Denise. Wish I could help. I've had it awhile, and stained it gray.I love it, though. :-)

It is a very black dye, it will dye your paint, hands, etc, now from doing my own black top, with gloves on, and being careful, it took using three coats to get a black top evenly black, so I wouldn't recommended it, less want a serious pain in butt and probably least 2 bottles and many, many coats !

I did have the problem of Leather Dye wiping off and rubbing off onto my clothes from a handbag I dyed. I used Resolene as a top coat and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I only use acrylic dyes for shoes and handbags.

We made 4 adult and 4 kid shirts plus a pair of sneakers and still had dye left over. It depends on how crazy everyone gets. Have everyone decide on what design and colors they want to use beforehand. We also used some cooking grates (bought at the dollar store) over rectangular bins. Choose a color and have everyone who wants to use that color to do so with their t-shirt on the grate over the bin and collect the spill over dye back into the squeeze bottle with a funnel. Rinse grate and bins and repeat with another color. Sounds a bit overkill, but it will guarantee not running out of dye. The dye is indeed professional as my T hasn't faded one bit one year later.

Some "New" cartridges aren't really "New". May have been in the shelve too long even if the expiration date is still good. I open ink cartridges everyday and I see a lot of such. Try another color cartridge

This gets asked frequently and I'm happy to say there is a positive answer! Mine were dated at least a year out and I've seen others post the same response. Hope that helps!

I haven't heard of this. This can happen with dyes, however, if you use certain chemicals for skin health, or perspire excessively, which can cause saturation and eventual damage to fabrics. At least, that would be my guess. If you purchased the cans recently and are still in the replacement period, I recommend you do that.

In my case, the expiration date was over a year ago. Since I don't use color much, I usually change the color cartridge every few years, so I imagine I will be changing this one much sooner, since some of its useful life was spent before I received it. I think if you get Amazon-fulfilled ink you are more likely to get fresh ink. Amazon was out of stock when I got mine from another vendor (on Amazon).

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.

I found a bottle I misplaced that was almost two years old. The quality was just the same for me - no issues at all. I just finished it off

Expired ink is usually sold VERY cheap, and often works just as well as unexpired ink. I have several times ordered it and used it same as new supply. The one time I ordered expired and it was totally dried out and would not work, I contacted seller and asked to return it and I would send back as proof of defective unusable cartridges. Seller simply gave me a refund of product and shipping and did not want the item--told me to just throw it away. Purchase was risk free and I did get some great values on the expired stuff that worked just fine.

I really feel that maybe some people just got a bad one. Happens with anything you buy. Mine has been working fine. Another thing may be that they were not using the epson ink. I looked into buying some generic ink cartridges, but people were complaining a lot about ink leaking and then it occured to me that maybe that's why there was someone on here complaining about Epson having leak issues. Could just be that some people thought they were as good as buying brand name and used them in their Epson printer and blamed the printer. Who knows, but I think Amazon has way more good reviews for this printer than any complaints of leaking ink, so that should say something. I really feel that maybe some people just got a bad one.

Brand New Directly for the Manufacturer I spoke to the manufacturers consumer service department and they state this product is "Dye Free"!
