Schwarzkopf Color Ultime 1.4 Sapphire Black Hair Dye, Permanent Intense Black with Diamond Brilliance, Fade-Resistant, Covers Grays, All Hair Textures

This hair dye is vibrant, and long-lasting. It delivers rich black color with a subtle cool tone and good shine. I will say it’s a a solid pick if you want a deep black look that stays bold between touch-ups, while still being gentle enough for DIY coloring. Great choice for people wanting intense, lasting color and glossy results without salon pricing. Loved it!

I combined indigo royale and ultra deep violet to achieve the most beautiful blackish purple and it worked so wonderfully. I am a little nervous for the fading process because this is a permanent hair color, but I was tired of the semi-permanent colors fading so terribly over my brown roots. Half of my hair is natural brown and bottom half is med. blonde, so all my colors fade muddy. Anyways, this dye gave me a headache and stained my skin, so use coconut oil around your hairline and have good ventilation. I will report back with how it fades, but I am incredibly happy with these results so far. Below is a before and after. I used lunar tides a few months ago and it faded to an ashy color, was not happy. Arctic fox just bleeds like crazy and the black has blue undertones so I wasn't happy with that, made my hair look green. Hoping this will fade a warm brown but we will see! The conditioning treatment smells amazingggg btw. My hair doesn’t feel as soft anymore, but thats a risk I was willing to take for this color. Update: hair is starting to grow out, my roots are almost 1/2”, i have washed it 5 times, the bottom half of my hair is blonde underneath so its still blackish purple and the top is fading to a dark brown. I am happy with this product!

Covered my gray hair perfectly. It is a beautiful shade of black and my hair is shining.

I bought the Sapphire Black color. I have naturally dark brown hair that I’ve been dyeing black for years, and I can never seem to get it as black as I would like. This dye is genuinely amazing, my hair is the darkest it’s ever looked and I love the subtle hint of blue that shows when the sunlight hits my hair.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved this hair dye. The Sapphire Black color is rich and shiny, covers grays well, and lasts for weeks. It leaves my hair soft and is easy to apply. Highly recommended.

If you color your hair black, this is the darkest black there is! Very impressed. Covers my greys very well and this is my go-to for my all over color!

I love this dye and also the conditioner that comes with it! The color really holds, the only time is has mildly faded is if I have swam in a chlorinated pool. Even then, it is mild fading barely noticeable. It holds so well in fact, I only have to apply to my roots when the Grey's grow in and not all of my hair! Typically there is quite a bit left after the roots have been covered so I use the excess in the rest of my hair. Now 1 box will not cover all of my hair so it gets a partial dye coverage when I do that.

I ordered the Sapphire Black color. I wanted a cool, blue tone, because, even though my hair is a medium to dark brown, it has an underlying red tinge (thanks, Irish ancestors!), that goes brassy red-orange every time the dye wears off. So, I was trying to stay away from any red. Well, this went on purple. Like Very Purple. It did come out VERY black, and, in the sunlight, there is an awesome blue tint. BUT, it stains, people. If you are a careful, very precise person, who plans your hair-coloring procedure out and lays down plastic, then I'd recommend trying it. I am not one of those people, though I've learned to look around and clean up after I dye my hair. I was extremely careful with this stuff, but I missed to small dots of dye, that splashed my sink. My sink is made of typical sink material, not porous, not anything you have to take special care with. I found the dots within ten minutes, but it was too late. I now have two purple dots on the side of my white sink, and nothing took them off, and I tried a LOT of different things. So, I go to rinse out my hair. Our shower is one of those horrible, plastic inserts, so I made very sure that I washed off the walls, where the purple-tinged water splashed. When I was done, I looked down, and there was a purple stain on the bottom of the insert, where the water had puddled, you know how it does, before it goes down the drain. I mean, water had been running, washing the dye the entire time, and it still stained. It did cover all my grays, and I didn't have any problem with burning, stinging, or obnoxious smell. I rinsed very thoroughly, like 20 minutes or more, and did not have any bleeding after. However, the first time I washed my hair, after the dye job, a lot more purple came out. The color went from flat black to a more natural black, and it still had the discreet blue tinge. I've only had the color in for a week, so I can't comment on how long or well it lasts, so I may edit my review later, as well as noting how well it thwarted the Irish red. ****I originally gave this three stars, because of the staining. After trying another brand of blue-black color and having the exact same staining, I've come to think that it's the color I've chosen, not the brand. The other brand (Nutrisse) also had a slight blue tinge, but it didn't cover my grays as well as Schwarzkopf, nor did the blue tinge show up as well. Schwarzkopf also kept its color longer, with less fading. I think I've found my brand of hair color.

I was looking for a good black hair color and I bought this brand based off the good reviews I read about it. And honestly, I have to say, super duper pooper impressed with this dye! First 2 months the colour was so shiny and vibrant, and it's now been 3 months, almost 4, the colour has faded but it's such a pretty colour still, the fade is still nice and shiny and works for me. This brand is awesome for black, had to tell you :)

I only dyed it yesterday so I don't know how long it lasts but I love how shiny and soft this is! The scent was more pleasant than other boxed dyes I've tried. One box gave full coverage and turned out a beautiful shiny black that is slightly blue in natural light. I attached a picture of what my hair looked like before and after.

full coverage and lasts months worth of washing. just wear gloves when applying or it stains skin. hair turns out so smooth and shiny!!!

Purchased the sapphire black. Love the depth of the colour and ease of application. My hair stayed soft. Only complaint i have is after 10 washes it is still bleeding out black. Ive been dying my hair black for years, first time using this brand, never had it bleed out for so long. Still seems to be holding its colour and ive used the conditioner it came with as well as a colour rated shampoo as always. Hoping the bleed out stops soon and doesn't cause the colour to wash out early.

This hair dye has great coverage, and is one of my top fave box dye brands because of the quality and how long it lasts. I was looking for more of a true black colour and wasn't expecting this to have a blue tinge to it, lol. I had never tried this colour before and it's def growing on me but surprising all the same. I hope the Raven Black is back in stock soon :)
