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.

I'm on my second one but my first lasted me well over a year before dying for reasons that I was never able to figure out though it happened shortly after a flight so I suspect maybe something could have happened to it when it was in my luggage. If this one does the same, I'll still buy another one because I've /never/ been able to get anywhere near the results from any other flat iron on the market that I've used before and I've tried, no joke, 15 of them. My hair stylist has one and has had the same one for over 3 years so I think it may have alot to do with how you handle it, clean it and store it if you travel with it.

Good question. I have gotten product that is excellent but have also gotten product that smells like soured laundry left in the washer for too long by accident. You do have the option of asking a question of the vendor so it is a good idea to request the expiration date.

Yes I did, and will never do it again. Eventually after about 10 washes the navy dye I used faded from the machine. I complained to dylon and they sent me two items to get the colour from a wash I run after using the dye and looked very grubby. It did help but I did lose some items because they were really dull in colour. Just to let you know I would never use it again in any washing machine

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...

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.

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!

Nothing. It's the sellers here on Amazon trying to rip us off. I also heard that Nioxin is supposedly reformulating the product, but not to try and sell it for the prices these greedy opportunists on Amazon are trying to get. It's not the company charging these prices. It's because of it's lack of availability right now. I thought it was supposed to reformulated by now. You've got me curious about again. It's been a couple of years since I was looking for this. It was a good product once, it didn't need improvement (probably had ingredients in it that weren't supposed to be there). I paid the same thing you did. Hopefully, it will be coming out soon. Plus, if sellers still have the old stuff, it has to be REALLY old and probably expired by now.

I just opened a package yesterday and also noticed the light orange tint. I immediately called the customer service number on the package. A very nice rep spoke with me and informed me that the tint was a new stain lifter enzyme and the product was still dye free and perfume free. I explained that the tint did not fit my definition of dye free but she assured me that the detergent was still hypo-allergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Haven't used them yet but will give it a try and see. I don't understand why products have to be changed all the time, I believe it was fine the way it was.

I ordered some last year, and it was already past the expiration date. When I contacted the seller, the reply was just...Don't worry about it. It's fine. I ended up throwing it out. Since then I've been told that they've discontinued it, so I guess they're just dumping their inventory. :(

I commented in detail below under flitlock's answer but one thing to look for would be a updated product picture. A great price won't matter if you get an expired product and poor customer service. Call and talk to vendors so you don't have a problem. I did and I feel good about my decision.

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 wondered about if it was dyed since when I washed it in still water, the water changed its' color. I am wondering if I should throw it away.

I had one that also looked like it came from a different dye lot. Since it was a third party that had sold it, I contacted National Geographic directly. They were extremely helpful and sent me a new one that had gone through their quality control department first. I'm about to order another one and am considering the same thing. Since Amazon is cheaper, I will try it but will check it first for imperfections.
