Product Information

Sizing varies a great deal, not only between manufacturers but also between different styles from the same manufacturer. Except maybe Atlantic Blue xD) It didn't stain HALF as much as the others, and it went a beautiful violet colour. Please think carefully before using crazy colours and seek professional advise before beginning your coloured hair adventure, i know now from talking to many hairdressers that many other people have had the same problem as me and have been left with a green stain over their natural colour!

This vibrant shade of purple hair dye is made using La Riche Directions vegan-friendly formula that conditions while it colours for fresh-feeling hair. We have created a super helpful page with all the Do's and Dont's, tips and advice to help ensure you get the best results from your colour. Although the colour faded over time a bit more with each couple of washes, the green stain left behind on my hair was certainly a hassle to remove and was a battle that defiantly wasn’t worth a quick dip in the sea!

The ammonia-free, creamy formula is easy to apply and does not require the use of an oxidising emulsion. i have knocked a star off as this stains everything - bathroom, hands, nails, feet and everything else. Then at the end of the Christmas holiday i had my hair cut and cut off just a few inches to remove the last remaining colour from the ends of my hair before school restarted. Since Directions changes the formula and it seems to be totally blue based now, it stained my hair green. Allow the hair dye to process for 15-30 minutes then thoroughly rinse your hair to complete your purple hairstyle.

As well as this, if you use products in your hair like I do, this will also make the colour run more and will also stain your hands. The Pre Colour Shampoo will balance your hairs PH before dying whilst removing excess oils to ensure the best results from the Hair Colour. I noticed the blues were all fading to the sort of greenish colour that i had been stuck with after the sea incident all those years before. Colours in the tub/bottle are not necessarily an indication of the final hair colour and the dyes can vary slightly between batches, therefore dye results cannot be guaranteed.

The results will vary depending on your hair colour, hair type, the process and the products used before dying. As with all dyes, please be aware that result may vary due to things such as hair type, colouring, condition of the hair etc. I started to notice over time that when the colour started to fade it was fading to a familiar blueish colour. With no ammonia, peroxide or PPD and a strict in house 'no animal testing' policy - Directions Semi Permanent Hair Colour is not only the best fashion shade of choice, it's also the safer way to colour. Review - I really liked the look of this,i stripped my hair back to its natural colour light brown but when applied and left for the required time it took ages to wash out and my hair was more black than plum,so this isnt for me.

Plus I add a little of the dye to my conditioner (using gloves) this keeps my colour vibrant without having to "properly" re-dye. After rinsing out the color, it is possible that the hair will transfer color to the towel or pillowcase.I had it with Atlantic Blue and I had to redye the blue at least 4 times as often as I did the Plum! The dyes, although fast fading, are cheap enough for it not to matter and they weren’t damaging my hair as far as i could tell. So to get my purple hair, I decided to use my most trusted un natural semi permanent dye – La Riche Directions. Sorry that you've had such a bad experience with the plum, a lot of people haven't been happy with it since Directions changed it + have been having a really difficult time removing it. To achieve this purple I went a bit crazy and mixed the three dyes in all the combinations I could, so that I had four different shades on my head (Plum/Violet, Plum/Neon Blue, Violet/Neon Blue, Neon Blue/Violet/Plum) because I really wanted to achieve different tones of purple.

Like I said, I have washed my hair three times since dying it and the colour is still pretty bright. You can follow all of this information on parcels journey through the tracking information provided. During those months i moved to university and began experimenting with the colours available, mixing my own blue shades by combining different half empty pots of Directions and trying slightly darker blues in the range such as Neon Blue, which came out a beautiful deep indigo on my hair! Getting a little desperate as my holiday drew closer i decided to try ColourB4…which deserves a whole post of its own so i wont go into detail about that experience now, but the end result was incredibly blonde rootage but the rest of my hair was still bright green!I constantly had a blue neck and hands and after only a few washes my hair had very uneven streaks of blue and pinky purple :-(. Directions usually lasts between 2-6 weeks and will gradually fade over time, depending on how often you wash your hair.
