Schwarzkopf Keratin Blonde High-Lift Hair Dye 11.7 Apricot Blonde — Permanent, Bond Enforcing

Schwarzkopf Keratin Blonde 11.7 High Lift Apricot Blonde is a professional-quality permanent hair color kit that lightens, tones and reinforces hair with a keratin-enriched bond system for salon-style blonde at home.

This complete at-home kit is built to lift darker blondes and light browns up to four levels while depositing an apricot blonde tone. The formula combines keratin and apricot oil with a Bond Enforcing System to help strengthen the hair shaft during coloring. A pre-color serum with Vitamin B6 and collagen primes strands for even lift and shine, and the included conditioner helps maintain color and manageability after processing. Everything you need for one full application—color cream, developer, pre-color serum, conditioner, and gloves—is in the box; for very long or thick hair you may need two kits.

How does this kit lift and tone in a single step?

The Schwarzkopf formula uses a high-lift developer paired with a lightening color cream to both lift natural pigment and deposit an apricot blonde tone in one application. It’s designed to balance lift and tone so you don’t need a separate toner step for many starting shades.

• High-lift developer formulated to lift up to four levels
• Color cream deposits apricot blonde pigments during lift
• Pre-color serum evens porosity for consistent results
• Conditioner seals the cuticle and refines tone post-color

Will this protect and strengthen my hair while coloring?

Yes—this kit includes a Bond Enforcing System plus keratin and apricot oil designed to help reinforce hair structure during the chemical process. The pre-color serum with Vitamin B6 and collagen conditions and primes hair, while the finishing conditioner supports resilience and softness.

• Keratin-enriched formula supports the hair fiber during processing
• Bond Enforcing System aims to reduce combing breakage compared to non-conditioning formulas*
• Pre-color serum improves even color uptake and surface smoothness
• Post-color conditioner with K-bond plex technology helps maintain manageability

Is this suitable for my hair texture and starting color?

The product is formulated for people starting from dark blonde to light brown and for a wide range of hair textures, including straight, wavy, curly and coily. It’s intended to preserve your natural pattern while delivering even color and tone.

• Recommended for dark blonde to light brown starting shades
• Works on straight, textured, curly and coily hair types
• Prepares porosity to avoid patchiness on unevenly porous hair
• For very dark hair, professional consultation may be needed for desired lift

How do I get the best results at home with this kit?

Follow the included instructions carefully: use the pre-color serum to prime hair, apply the color mixture consistently from roots to ends, and time the development as directed. Rinse thoroughly and finish with the included conditioner to lock in tone and add shine.

• Apply pre-color serum on dry hair for even lift and protection
• Mix developer and color cream immediately before application
• Process for the time recommended in the instructions; avoid over-processing
• Use the conditioner in the kit and consider a second box for long/thick hair

Who this is for: Schwarzkopf Keratin Blonde 11.7 High Lift Apricot Blonde is made for experienced at-home colorists and anyone seeking a substantial lift with a warm apricot blonde result while minimizing damage. It’s well suited to people with dark blonde to light brown bases who want one-step lift-and-tone performance plus conditioning support during the coloring process. If you have very dark hair or fragile, heavily damaged strands, consider professional advice before attempting high-lift color at home.
