Smart Colour-Total Blonde Hair Lightener

Wow that totally surprises me! I used Smart once, it was a shade of red but it just went flat brown, it was awful! Sometimes it works out that the best bleachers are the worst dyers! lol 😀

I use Schwarzkopf XXL Ice Blonde.

Ive tried the Smart colours too a pinky red one it was useless,I didnt have much hope for the bleach but got it really cheap on Ebay.It worked suprisingly well,look out for another one on Ebay i think. 😀

Aaaahhhh ebay... lurve ebay... gonna live there lol!

This is handy to know as we were considering adding Smart Colours to the website soon but it appears the good reviews and feedback i'd heard were not the full picture as alot of people seems to be saying it did not work too good on them.  If anyone else has any feedback on smart colours (the dyes) please let me know.

I just took a look on the Smart website to get the name of the dye I used and I found something very interesting! I used permanent "Fiery Red" and if you look at their permanent range you'll see Fiery Red revolving on the carousel. The model on the package had vivid red hair but when you click on it the model with the hair dye has deep auburn brown hair! That's exactly what I got when I dyed my hair! It looks as though they spice up the packaging to give a different colour to what's actually acheived.

Here's the link but if Nickki wants to take it down that's fine:

Just click on Fiery Red as it comes around and you'll see the colour difference for yourself. There's a tab over the model's head that says "Colour Results" and if you click on it you'll see that the colour is copper - not red as the packaging suggests.

EDIT: Just checked the purple too and that's the same, you get a brown colour, check the colour results for their products and you'll see. This time the model on the product page actually has purple hair but the colour results tab will show you that a bright purple is not acheived.

Hi, no the links fine - theres only a couple of companies that are blocked and they are the ones selling manic panic, directions etc the same as us.  All others should be fine 🙂

So I can come out from under the bed now? 😀

hahahaha - yes your fine
..and anyway I saw your feet sticking out 😛

I love the smart colours! i used the carmine pink over light brown hair (which had been previously several other colours) and this is the result:

it fades to a nice cupcake colour and i got roots before i got fading, also used the red but that fades to a horrible orange.

i know this is a dead thread but if anyone is interested in using the smart colour range, people with short hair may want to look into using the highlight kits instead of the dyes; i have very short hair and it covered it with some leftover dye, and it bleaches at the same time as dyeing. i've also found that it lifts it to a far lighter colour than any bleach i've ever found in boots, sainsbury's or superdrug, and by the time the pink had faded last time i dyed it, it was completely white which made it really easy to dye over. just in case anybody's still interested haha

Thanks, we are still hoping to add Smart Colours to the website so all feedback is very helpful.

I love this! It takes my hair to white blonde everytime no matter what the colour before it was. I always have great results with it and it doesn't appear to damage my hair as much as I thought it would've. It's amazing stuff and cheap too 🙂

Hi!! 😛

So i took a look at the link from above and thought the results for the Total Blonde looked pretty good. But im a bit apprehensive as i can just see it turning a really gross orange.
Has anyone used this??

Yeah, I tried total blonde a month ago before i dyed my hair with atlantic blue,
It turned almost white, i was fair happy, although, no matter how much i condition my hair its still snapping off.
I got it for 10p in Boots ;D
