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!

What I purchased was CLEAR & it said so in the description. (I see it doesn't specify a color this time!) My hair is darker brown with blonde heavy highlights. I love it as it makes your hair very shiny and lasts through 3-4 shampoos. As an added bonus it smells GREAT!!! I think you will really like it.

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.

Hi Dayna,I use this for my highlighted hair to keep it from turning brassy BUT I will tell you; my dad has a full head a lovely silver hair and this is what he uses as well. I get a lot of compliments from my friends because they think his hair is professionally dyed that color. I tell them it's his natural hair color. So it must be doing something to his hair. It never looks dull or gets that yellow cast that some gray/silver hair can get. Worth a try for the price.

TP430 was what I bought. I'm naturally a light skinned Caucasian brunette and the other colors were way too dark for me. It's a great wig though and flows beautifully. It's a little to style but I just got it and need more time with it.

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.

it wont lighten a lot, i was lucky enough to find dreamblond ultra lightening system, which was taken off store shelves, so i had to hunt it down online, an it will take you to like a very pale baby blond, an has an awsome conditioner with it, all the other dream blonds are no more then tonors, if you want a pale blond without much damage that is what works for me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No, it doesn't. I wasn't impressed with it. I heard that one of Brer Rabbit's molasses does. I am using the Wholesome Organic Molasses and even though it doesn't contain copper, it helps with my grey hair.

it won't lighten your hair, but it will "glaze" it. I have naturally dark-dark brown hair and it adds an interesting dimension of color, especially in the sunlight.

No the lightening of color is cuz of how high you lift your hair...if you raise your hair to a level 9 and up it should b light...leaving the color on only helps the color last longer

It looks like it but smells different. The real stuff will keep the yellowing from showing in your hair. I use it all the time. I have the conditioner too, but I am not sopleased with it. It does not make your hair feel smooth. The original shimmer lights is a very good product. The longer you leave it on, better results.

If it lightens, it's not obvious to me at all. It remains fairly dark. I have to dye my hair again only because the roots start standing out a lot. Not sure if it matters, but I have thick hair. I love this brand, but I'm pretty sure they discontinued this semi-permanent hair color. So if you decide you like it, you will have to stock up like I did :) Good luck!

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 depends on how dark natural hair is. My hair was light brown with some red in it. It will not produce a platinum blond but nets a realistic, ladylike believable blond that's not at all brassy. For some reason it was discontinued. If you have light hair, you wil not need to double-process by pre-bleaching.

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 used loreals color zap which is safer than bleaching. It takes the dark black out of my hair and turned my hair color to an yellow color. I waited two days and really washed it out good before using sparks. It allows the color to be visible. I really liked the out come of the color the first week. However it really bleeds onto your skin for a few days after coloring.mIt's just like any other hair dye, it doesn't last.

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.
