help! I have seen a lot of people complaining about buying dye and finding out it was old and had oxidized before they even got to use it.

I had a problem with oxidation when I bought the color KK Mix in a tube on ebay. When I opened the tube, it was obvious because the color was darker than the prior tubes I'd bought, and it seemed drier. However, I ordered this canister of KK mix from Amazon and opened it about 5 weeks later. It was perfect. From the comments I've read that hair dressers have posted on Sleekhair dot com, the canisters last a long time, much longer than the tubes, because they are airtight.

I have never had this issue and I have bought Goldwell products online for years from different sites. Maybe you can ask the vendor how old the products are. I usually go with the vendors that have great reviews and so far so good. Good luck!

I had never bought hair color online. I was very satisfied with my Goldwell purchase. It seemed to be the same quality as what my hairdresser uses. I travel a lot and use this in between hair appointments with my hairdresser.

My dye wasn't bad/oxidized. I had a great experience with this hair color. First time buyer.

Have bought it for several years and there has never been a problem with it oxidizing. In fact, I am really surprised that anyone is even making such a comment that it does oxidize, because the pressurized container is air tight and one can only get the solution out by their special "contraption" that releases the solution. Could be the comments are coming from a competitor trying to attack the product, and maybe they are not familiar with the protective packaging. People do that you know (smile).

Mine wasn't but I have heard that same thing from other shoppers and hairstylists. I would go with a company that has good reviews rather than who is priced best.

It's been about a month since I used this, and the color has faded some, but I had a mess before - roots one color and the rest another (failed attempt to match didn't work). My hair, although lighter than when I first applied the dye, is still all one color. I'd think it will last another 2-3 weeks...

Some sellers may sell new ink that is past its recommended install by date. If this is the case they will ideally list that information in their seller specific condition notes. No matter what their note says, you are protected by Amazon's policies if the "new" ink does not work when it arrives.

Use some dye in your conditioner when you condition; that'll keep the color fresh.

This seems to be a forum to ask questions of the folks who bought the product, not the vendors. You may want to ask the sellers this question.

I'm sure that vendors send out different quality products. Mine gave me tons of problems and seem to have permanently damaged my printer. Some colors refused to print, and the others were such low quality that the ink fades over time. Pictures that I printed with it turned all washed out after a month or so. The price looked tempting, but I might as well just have thrown my printer out. I guess that the worst is you might not know until you try printing, and its possible that the damage is done by then.

Something to think about.you bought some of these over 10 yrs ago? the color that the manufacturer uses now may/maynot, have changed but the color of almost everything fades in time.In English, this means that even if the color then was the same as it is now, chances are, the old & the new might not match.

There are some resellers selling expired product. If you come across expired product, you should report it to amazon immediately. They will provide a 100% money back guarantee and take action against the seller. You should also buy from reputable resellers. If you look for the words "Sold by ORGANIC INDIA and Fulfilled by Amazon" you can be assured the product will not be expired. If you see another reseller, you may be dealing with someone who isn't authorized to sell the product.

Print File products repeatedly claim archival quality, acid free,etc. Unfortunately the slides themselves are not...I have dye failure on many slides, 60 to 70 years old, but those sealed in metal or tight plastic boxes have fared better. I would also suggest binders or sealed boxes.

i'm not sure what the official answer is. from my experience everything had to be hand-washed and immediately dried or it became discolored/oxidized.

In my case, the expiration date was over a year ago. Since I don't use color much, I usually change the color cartridge every few years, so I imagine I will be changing this one much sooner, since some of its useful life was spent before I received it. I think if you get Amazon-fulfilled ink you are more likely to get fresh ink. Amazon was out of stock when I got mine from another vendor (on Amazon).

I used it and it looked like it took off most of the dye, but by the next day it was as dark as before I used it. I don't know what happened. Other people had the same problem as I did. Cj

the colors of dye are not liquid they are more like a paste. Unless the surface of the leather is actually split or peeling you may want to try something else.

I bought this dye for an old purse that I purchased, which needed to be restored. And this product did the job! The purse does not smell. I would suggest wearing gloves when using this product. I'm not sure if I would use them on hand gloves.

This gets asked frequently and I'm happy to say there is a positive answer! Mine were dated at least a year out and I've seen others post the same response. Hope that helps!

As a matter of fact that is the color of mine. It looks like new just remember to use the cleaner first
