I think I've probably tried all of the foam hair color in the market - Schwarzkopf, Liese and Beautylabo (unless there are new brands that I don't know of). Instead of having to read each review seperately, I'm going to put everything in this post so that it's easier for you to read through.
Please remember that everyone's hair condition is different. The table below doesn't reflect the real fact, but only represent my own opinion after experience with those brands.
Each brand has its own pros and cons. It depends what you're expecting from the hair dye. If you want a vibrant and long lasting colour, Beautylabo is the best choice. Just remember to apply treatment at the end of the hair, and it's all OK. But if you want a softer and well-managed hair, then go for the Liese colour. You might need to recolour it after 3 weeks. And if you're not too adventurous to try those, go for the Schwarzkopf brand. It is a much safer choice.
The price of the three brands are pretty much the same. They're all between RM30-RM40. And they're all available in most major pharmacies.
Are you going to dye your hair with foam colour soon? Which is the one you most likely going to try?

| Schwarzkopf |
Liese | Beautylabo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pakaging | Of course Schwarzkopf has the prettiest packaging with the Blythe model on the box cover. |
Fairly OK. | Has a new idea. It is packed in a bottle tumbler form. |
| Application | The easiest to use. It comes with a pump. Very neat and doesn't need a lot of effort. |
Need to press the bottle to release the foam. When it gets to the end, it is harder to press the foam out of the bottle. |
The messiest because you have to scoop the foam out of the bottle. And you have to shake the bottle pretty hard to create the foam. Can be quite tiring. |
| Colour selection | Very limited colours available. I think there are only 4 colours to choose from. |
Has the widest range of colour. You will find yourself indecisive on the colours. Some colours look similar to another. |
Has enough basic colours for everyone. |
| Colour result | Very well. But you may want to leave the dyeing process a bit longer than the suggested time if you want a more vibrant colour. |
The colour doesn't last too long. Mine started to fade in the 3rd week. I hear similar complain from my other friends too. |
Has the most vibrant colour and the colour last really long. |
| After colour condition |
Feels like normal colour- treated hair. I think that's OK. You might need to use conditioner each time you wash your hair. |
Hair condition doesn't deteriorate. Hair feels soft and easy to manage. |
Hair turns rough and coarse. The end of the hair tends to get tangled easily. Have to apply hair serum frequently after colouring. |

I never tried beautylabo or liese before but I can pretty much imagine having to scoop the foam out of a tumbler-like "mug" to be pretty messy and frustrating.
Of course, these three aren't the only hair dye brands Japan has.. I've heard a lot saying dariya palty wins from the three but I wouldn't know... palty's not available in where I live
