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 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. :(

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 had partial can that got pushed to back of unused cabinet for about 4 years. Tasted and smelled and cooked as good as new. Sometimes the date thing is over-rated, in my opinion. No date on my new can, and I'm ok with it. I'm an older nurse, and for the first 25 yrs I worked, our drugs were not dated, no exp date, and they worked fine. Only exception was opened drugs--we dated them and discarded when directed by pharmacy. The outdated thing can help manufacturer sell more stuff, and we often discard things that are still good and perfectly safe. This is my own opinion.

Hi Adriana,I work for a company that resells Epson ink. Our supplier did not have the ink available, so I ordered it for our customer from Amazon. The ink arrived quickly, the ink cartridge was new and not expired. We were very pleased and would order from them again in a pinch.

That wasn't my experience. I only found out when the package arrived and they were almost expired already. That only happened with one resseller. It was the cheapest price.

Hi Margaret;Sorry to hear about your problem.I have never experience this.and have purchased many over the years.You must have gotten some very cheap or old(rotten) ones.I have some that are several years old and still good and strong.For some reason they are fairly expensive,usually about $3 for 5 strings.Yomega sell a package of them that I find very good,some are the normal string color and some are colored,but all are good,and I have never experienced fraying.A string should last for hours of normal use,and it won't fray,but will break in the end.Drop me an e-mail ,and let me know how you made out.Jerryguild@Sympatico.ca Hi Margaret;Sorry to hear about your problem.I have never experience this.and have purchased many over the years.You must have gotten some very cheap or old(rotten) ones.I have some that are several years old and still good and strong.For some reason they are fairly expensive,usually about $3 for 5 strings.Yomega sell a package of them that I find very good,some are the normal string color and some are colored,but all are good,and I have never experienced fraying.A string should last for hours of normal use,and it won't fray,but will break in the end.Drop me an e-mail ,and let me know... » Read More Hi Margaret;Sorry to hear about your problem.I have never experience this.and have purchased many over the years.You must have gotten some very cheap or old(rotten) ones.I have some that are several years old and still good and strong.For some reason they are fairly expensive,usually about $3 for 5 strings.Yomega sell a package of them that I find very good,some are the normal string color and some are colored,but all are good,and I have never experienced fraying.A string should last for hours of normal use,and it won't fray,but will break in the end.Drop me an e-mail ,and let me know how you made out.Jerryguild@Sympatico.ca « Show Less

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 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.

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.

I did have the problem of Leather Dye wiping off and rubbing off onto my clothes from a handbag I dyed. I used Resolene as a top coat and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I only use acrylic dyes for shoes and handbags.

Just toss it in the washer and dryer...comes out great! I have the lime green instead of brown but never had a problem with color bleeding. They look like new after several years of use, and I even used them when working in the yard.

Check the instructions, but it shouldn't be a problem, especially since it was dyed over a year ago.

You might and you might not. Some say theirs is great and others (like me) received tubes that don't even bubble up much clean up the meager "man made" stain. I had hoped I would be one of the lucky ones, but alas, no. Seller wont replace or refund. Bad business imo.

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

I have found that if you let the bottle sit around, or buy it at a discount from some untrusted source, it WILL get yellowish, and sometimes even will dry a little on the bumpy side (not sure how else to describe it). I've been using this product for 17 years, but I often misplace things and have a hard time complying with long term beauty regimens, so I have had had MANY opportunities to see that if you don't use the stuff, it will end up going bad after a few months. Find a trusted distributer and try always to buy from them and use consistently. I have to resist the urge to buy in bulk.
