Schwarzkopf Simply Color 1.0 Jet Black Permanent Hair Dye, Cream

my mom loves this specific hair dye because her scalp is very sensitive to all those harsh chemicals. like every single one. this is the only one that doesn’t irritate her scalp and it truly works wonders for her!

I really struggle with black hair dye for some reason, as it frequently wants to wash out of my hair, regardless of how permanent it is. I’ve been using this product for a couple of years now, and it never fails to provide solid grey coverage, with a low mess (as low as it can be) rinse out, and the color is bold and solid black until I need my next root job. It won’t stain my scalp. I’m really sensitive to chemicals and the odor is very mild. Pic of a freshly dyed head in the sun.

Ok so I have black hair, straight, almost waist-length, with a lot of volume. And my hair is fine, but right by my forehead I was getting sooooo many gray hairs, which I hated and didn't look very pretty, it stood out, and I'm in my early 40s, so it did not look cute. Even my kid was asking if i was planning to dye my hair any time soon. Anyways, so i haven't dyed my hair in approx 20 years, and I have so much hair that even back then, it cost a lot to do just highlights. So i bought 1 of these packs in jet black, only 1, wondering if it would be enough. I did it by myself, put almost 3/4 of the dye on the top and front of my hair, massaged it in really well to cover all the grays, and then the 1/4 left, all over the rest of my hair, and massaged it into my roots big time. I was wearing the plastic gloves so it was fine. I left it for about 50 mins to 1 hour, beginning to end, cuz I got distracted and kinda forgot. Anyways, i followed the rest of the instructions and the results were amazing. I cleaned my bits of stained forehead with little toner cotton pads, it came off very easy. The results? I have no white hair, at all, and my hair looks shiny. To be honest i really doubted it would work because all the hairstylists I used back then said my hair was so black it was hard to dye. So i was hoping and wishing it'd work. Well it did. I will be buying this again for sure once my roots grow. It was pretty easy to use so i can do it myself again. Saved me a trip to the salon. I'm wondering now if i can dye my hair a different color in the future since this worked out so well....very very happy, my husband and kid were like "wow, looks really good" and i feel 10 years younger.

I began dying my hair sparingly about seven years ago. Initially, I had no problems with allergies. Then, about a year later, out of nowhere, I started developing blisters on my scalp with intense burning and itching after each application. Yep! I was allergic to hair dyes. For about five years, I dealt with the suffering associated with trying to shave a few years off my appearance. I tried products from two major companies experiencing the same side effects. I searched and searched and couldn't seem to find a dye that actually works for people like me - until about two years ago. That's when I came upon this product. Thankfully, I gave it a try - and no allergic reaction!!! :-) The application probably doesn't last as long as one of the more toxic brands on the market, but it doesn't cause me pain and it gives me the overall look that I want. I'm very thankful that I found this product, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has also experienced the suffering of an allergic reaction to hair dye!!

I’ve developed an allergy to black hair dye and after researching this was the best option. I had NO rash, redness, itchiness and or irritation! Not sure how long the color will last, but I’m just happy that I could use a black hair dye with no allergic reaction.

Covers any color and stays dark for so long

I like that it is healthier than a lot of the other home dyes out there. It is also at a very, very affordable price. The packaging is nice as it's eco friendly too. I will say that if you have long hair, you may need to get two if you are planning on doing full coverage. I only needed it for half my hair and I have long hair. It did not cover quite as much as I would have liked, so that was disappointing. But it did dye my hair black and in record time. The smell was okay. It has a smell of course but it is not as strong as ones I have used in the past. I have not used it on my scalp, so I can't say if it is irritating or not. This is a great brand though. I'm sure it is good for most skin types. 1/21/21 EDIT: Okay, so it has been almost 20 days and sadly what was once jet black HAS faded a few shades to dark brown. I do use a color safe shampoo that has like six ingredients and is free of a whole ton of things, so it is not the fact that I shower every day I'm sure. I've used permanent hair dyes before and they have all lasted at least three or four months at least before losing just a little bit of their vibrancy. This is the first time I have used so-called "permanent" dye and it has started fading significantly within the first month. I know there are semi-permanent dyes that are supposed to last approximately 27 or so washes, but this box was marked clearly as permanent and not marked as 27 day semi-permanent hair dye... so I am not sure why it is acting like that's the case. A bummer but oh well. I know that more natural products tend to have a hard time doing as "good" of a job unless they get it all just right, but I've always liked this brand, so it's disappointing that it did not work out so well for me. To give an idea, my original hair color is chestnut brown and it was virgin hair. To give any context to those curious.

Worked really well. Also didn’t dry out my hair.

I don't usually write reviews, but this I had to write one, oh my gosh is this ever a life saver!! Let me tell you I have been looking for yeaaarrrs for a Black hair dye that I am not allergic to (PPD free) which is impossible to find. Then I stumbled on tik tok to someone recommending this beauty and oh wow!!! I am in love! worth every penny, please don't stop selling this!! I finally found a black hair dye that does NOT contain PPD and PTD and does not cause me any allergic reactions! Amazing 10 out of 10!

Awesome product

Much healthier than standard hair colors

hair looks naturally black. nice one. Buy 2 packs if ur hair is lengthy. single pack will be enough for baby cut or hair till shoulder nly.

As I have brought this product it gave me a allergy which I never had before while I was using. The packaging was not same as the one I buy from shops. . Delivery was so late and I think it's not the same product I received which gave allergy. It's was different color as well when I mixed But I used it and show the difference. My whole body was itchy. Will never recommend any one to buy from here.
