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!

On my friend (bleached to dirty blonde from dark brown) it turned (in ~1.5h) nice medium-dark blue-purple. She likes it :)

Mine is the same way. It does not affect the darker hair, only the gray. It keeps it shiny and you do not get the yellowing.

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

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.

They say that your hair should be the color of the inside of a banana peel for it to make it white, but I have a lot of brassy/gold tones in my hair and it definitely takes them down to a great white blonde color. This is my favorite toner. Watch out though, if you leave it on too long it will tint your hair purple. Just keep checking it and you will be fine.

No. It doesn't really do anything if you have darker hair. There is no bleach so it wouldn't turn your hair orange.

I feel that it does. Although the hair color may lighten slightly, It never looks copper or dried out. My hair is coarse but stays very soft and hydrated when using this product. It's expensive but well worth it.

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.

I didn't use any with mine, because I believe it works more like a stain. It came out the brightest, vibrant purple and I loved it. My entire head was purple.

No ... It is a light color. It is good for hair that needs a lot of conditioning. It works for me, because it leaves my hair soft.

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.. :)

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

I have quite a bit of grey and it tends to take the color extremely well. You get a much more vivid color than even the bleached hair gets! Good luck.

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.

yes it is a bleach. I have auburn hair and it took it to a beautiful blond in 55 minutes. I always finished it with Wen shampoo so I never had any breakage or burning.
