FAQs

How much directions hair dye do I need? ›

If you're wondering how many tubs of Directions you'll need to get the best coverage, go by our rule of thumb: we recommend one tub for hair that's shoulder length.

How long Directions Hair Dye Last depends on the colour you use, the colour of your hair and its porosity. The shampoo you use will have a huge effect. Anti-Dandruff shampoos will strip the colour quicker. La Riche's Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioners will make your colour last longer!

Time to play the waiting game. Your strand test will give you an idea of how long it takes for your colour to develop, Directions hair colour usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

For any hair shade, we always recommend a strand test before application. Because our colours are semi-permanent, they may tone grey hair instead of achieving your desired colour with 100% accuracy.

If you have long thick hair I would suggest two 4 oz. Jars. But if you have short or thin hair, it should be enough.

As a rule, the colour you get is stronger and lasts longer on bleached hair. And the longer you leave it on, the stronger the effect. You can actually leave Directions on your hair for hours and it won't do any harm. Some people leave it on overnight, wearing a plastic hood to keep it off the bedding.

"If you leave your color on for too long, there is potential for extra deposit of pigment to occur. You can't make your hair too light by leaving a tint color on too long (unless you're bleaching), but it can make your hair darker than intended," says Tardo.

Most hair dyes usually have an effect for 45-60 minutes and then its effect wavers off. Leaving the dye on for a longer period of time will do nothing but leave a huge mess. It will dry out, and you’ll have a tough time washing that stuff out of your hair.

Neutral shades like soft blonde, mushroom brown, light copper, and caramel blonde balayage are the easiest to blend gray into (and maintain over time without wanting to shave your hair off). Plus, Cosgrove points out that it's easy to overwhelm your face with color.

Why are hair dyes not recommended for grey hair? ›

Along with the changes in pigmentation, grey hairs can also undergo structural changes Grey hair is often also coarser. The outer cuticle layer of greys can be more tightly packed and layered, making them resistant to colour absorption.

If your hair is brown, you may need to bleach it more than once before you apply the grey dye. It's important you get your hair as light as possible before you attempt to turn it grey – this will help ensure a more even tone and vibrant, all-over colour.

For hair that falls between the shoulders and mid-back, it's recommended to use two boxes of hair color for thorough coverage. Again, this may vary depending on your hair density shoulder length and texture.

The general rule is to use one part of hair dye and two parts of developer (or 1:2) while mixing hair color. That means, if you have 2 oz of hair color, you should use 4 oz of a developer.

Typically one jar covers 1-2 applications on the average head of hair. If you have very thick or long hair, you may need more than one jar.

If your hair is longer than shoulder length or very thick (and if you're doing an all-over application), you may need two boxes to saturate your hair fully. Also, keep in mind that the ends of long hair tend to absorb more color, so you may need to reduce your processing time to prevent your color from going too dark.
