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 have never been able to get the color out of clothes! Amazing, since it is temporary color! But, on the clothes I have stained with the dye, they are ruined!

We made 4 adult and 4 kid shirts plus a pair of sneakers and still had dye left over. It depends on how crazy everyone gets. Have everyone decide on what design and colors they want to use beforehand. We also used some cooking grates (bought at the dollar store) over rectangular bins. Choose a color and have everyone who wants to use that color to do so with their t-shirt on the grate over the bin and collect the spill over dye back into the squeeze bottle with a funnel. Rinse grate and bins and repeat with another color. Sounds a bit overkill, but it will guarantee not running out of dye. The dye is indeed professional as my T hasn't faded one bit one year later.

Expired ink is usually sold VERY cheap, and often works just as well as unexpired ink. I have several times ordered it and used it same as new supply. The one time I ordered expired and it was totally dried out and would not work, I contacted seller and asked to return it and I would send back as proof of defective unusable cartridges. Seller simply gave me a refund of product and shipping and did not want the item--told me to just throw it away. Purchase was risk free and I did get some great values on the expired stuff that worked just fine.

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.

No, your question came to me because I was "a person who has purchased this product in the past." Contact the seller!. I was just stating how my order came. I have nothing to do with the selling of this item!

Brand New Directly for the Manufacturer I spoke to the manufacturers consumer service department and they state this product is "Dye Free"!

I thought that my color was more orange than normal and I decided it might be old. I have been using it and it seems to function the same so I disregarded the color. After reading other comments, it looks like the "color man" doesn't always gets the same amount....

Evidently not because when I asked to return it, I was told I could get a refund only if the product was not used. WELL, how else would I know if I had a bad reaction or not? I would not count on a money back guarantee, if you open it and try it.

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).

Wash it alone right away first! I bought blue, washed it cold, and first time the water looked like dyeing easter eggs. The second time, there was only a little color bleed. mike

The paint is awful and old & it will ruin your paint job so don't use it. It stinks. Got to Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams & get a good oil based fresh paint. I called Zinser & they said it was old stock & it has to be fresh & why my paint job looks awful. I got all the paint off & worked for weeks for all my hard work to be ruined. Just call them & ask about tsp & check if it expired if u must use it. I learned the hard way & then to find it is not good. If it gets cold or two hot you get a terrible lumpy mess or some is solid some streaky & u think I just need a better brush so u try a roller & you never had a chance.

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.

I haven't heard of this. This can happen with dyes, however, if you use certain chemicals for skin health, or perspire excessively, which can cause saturation and eventual damage to fabrics. At least, that would be my guess. If you purchased the cans recently and are still in the replacement period, I recommend you do that.

the product packaging is from like 3 years ago and the products with the old packaging are expired, so if you have not gotten the results that you expected its because you are buying expired products, you can only buy fresh non-expired products from a consultant like me. Be weary of buying Arbonne from someone who is not an activity consultant, you cannot buy fresh products from anyone other then a consultant and the products are cheaper then what are listed here if you go through a consultant

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.

Do not use this product if been opened. I would be concerned cause I don't really trust ebay.. People that sell their things usally comes broken , or used not like new...Honestly, I would throw the bottle away or make a complain because if you get an infection or something, and you don't have proof who it came from, then that's a big issue. I would just recommend you bying this product here cause it actually comes from the ISO Company...
