Does the 74 deep copper shimmer bleach your hair or is it just color?

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!

I do not know if it bleaches or not, all I know is that it takes the yellow out of my grey hair and makes it silver. If your hair is not grey I really don't think it will do anything.

Yes. Otherwise, the best you'll get is a tinge of purple when you're out in the sun or under bright lights. The manic panic flash lightening works well. I'd suggest conditioning before bleaching, but not before coloring.

I used T18 on my hair after bleaching, but it is blonde all over. If you can isolate the highlights somehow, that would be best, because the blonde toner could alter the color of the darker hair.

Nope! I have dark brown hair, and it significantly lightens my hair without the need to bleach.

It actually "bleaches" the color out. So it has to grow out. It's not a hair color that does fade. It can also turn brown hair red ish if you use it a lot.

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.

Well I have 100% white - platinum hair, so I only know how it works for me. I will say you do get some purple shades in your hair . I don't mind it, but if that's not what you're looking for than be warned. I'm very happy with this shampoo though!

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.

This is a toner, so it adds a lavender-ish tint to hair to counterbalance the brassiness that comes with bleached hair (especially dark hair). It is not a dye, it will only tint your hair :) It fades with washes and you usually have to use it once per week, leaving it ~10 minutes in after shampooing, to keep the hair from turning brassy. Although I ordered this product, I did not receive the exact product shown... The product I did receive, however, was very great and made my bleach blonde hair look platinum and beautiful. I hope this helps!

YESSS! This hair can be bleached and curl. I have been wearing this hair since I received it in December 2013 and I still wearing it this very moment, best hair ever. I wore is in it's natural state after I received it for one month, I then bleached it blond and wore it for another month. Now I color the blond ruby red and that is what I am presently rocking! I curl it with my wand whenever I and going out on the town and it never fail to have heads turn. Very good hair with very minimal shedding, getting ready to order again.

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.

I personally do not use Shimmer conditioner. I do think though that you wash this out just like any other conditioner. The conditioner did not do much for me but I do like the Shimmer shampoo. I have solid white hair and it takes the yellowing out. I only use it maybe once a week. I use another conditioner behind it, Suave. Of course this is one that you wash out. I do not know much about the leave in conditioners but I think you wash the Shimmer brand out.

It depends on your hair and how much red you want. I mix it with another Natural Instinct to get just a bit of red. I think if you use it as directed, you will get light auburn but if you want more red, choose a deeper color.

It removes the brassiness in silver hair, should with blond. It doesn't lighten, just removes the brassiness and helps hair shine!
