Schwarzkopf Color Ultime Permanent Hair Dye — 1.4 Sapphire Black, Diamond-Brilliance Shine & Gray Coverage

Schwarzkopf Color Ultime 1.4 Sapphire Black is a permanent at-home hair color that delivers an intense, glossy black shade with diamond-inspired shine and up to 10 weeks of fade-resistant vibrancy.

This single-box kit combines a richly pigmented color cream with a developer and a Diamond Brilliance Serum–infused formula to create deep sapphire-black tones and a luminous finish. The kit is designed for easy, even application and includes a conditioning treatment to help maintain softness after coloring. It’s formulated to cover grays and suit straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair textures when used according to the instructions.

How will this shade look on different skin tones and under light?

Sapphire Black 1.4 is a deep, cool-toned black with subtle faceted shimmer so it appears dimensional rather than flat. In bright light the Diamond Brilliance element brings out glossy highlights; in softer light it reads as an even intense black. For the most accurate outcome, match the shade level to your current hair color and avoid changing more than two levels darker.

• Cool, jewel-toned black with reflective shine
• Faceted tones give depth instead of a single flat black
• Best results when chosen close to current color level

Does this product cover gray hair and how long does the color last?

This permanent formula is engineered to deposit rich pigment that conceals gray strands and creates uniform coverage from root to tip. With routine hair care and color-safe products, the brand estimates up to 10 weeks of noticeable color intensity. Individual longevity depends on washing frequency, sun exposure, and hair porosity.

• Pigment-rich permanent dye for gray coverage
• Up to 10 weeks of vibrancy with proper aftercare
• Fade resistance influenced by hair care habits

What’s included in the kit and is it suitable for beginners?

The Color Ultime box contains the color cream, developer bottle, conditioning treatment, gloves, and step-by-step instructions, making it approachable for first-time dyers. The creamy consistency helps with smooth, even application across varied hair textures; longer or thicker hair may need two kits for full coverage. Always perform a patch test and follow timing guidance for safe results.

• Complete at-home kit: color cream, developer, conditioner, gloves, instructions
• Cream formula spreads easily for even application on all textures
• Use two boxes for long or very thick hair to ensure full coverage

How does the Diamond Brilliance Serum affect the finish and manageability?

The integrated serum helps enhance light reflection so the finished color appears shinier and more multi-dimensional. It also contributes to a smoother surface feel, helping hair look polished after rinsing. The included conditioner supports softness and manageability so hair is easier to style post-color.

• Serum boosts surface shine and dimension
• Conditioner helps maintain softness and manageability
• Designed to leave hair feeling smoother after coloring
