FAQs

How long does La Riche Directions hair dye last?

As a semi-permanent dye, the longevity varies depending on hair porosity, washing frequency, and care. Typically, it lasts between 6-8 washes, but can be longer on bleached hair.

Can I mix Directions colors?

Yes, Directions hair dyes are designed to be mixed together to create custom shades. Always strand test your custom blend first.

Do I need to use a developer with this hair dye?

No, La Riche Directions is a semi-permanent direct dye and does not require a developer. It can be applied directly to the hair.

Is this product suitable for children?

This product is marketed for adult use. Always perform a patch test and strand test regardless of age, and exercise caution.

What should I do if I have an allergic reaction?

Discontinue use immediately. Rinse the product out thoroughly. Consult a medical professional if symptoms persist.

Can this dye cover grey hair?

Semi-permanent dyes may not provide full coverage on grey hair. Results will vary; grey hair might take the color differently or not at all. Pre-lightening may help, but a strand test is essential.

What is the shelf life of an opened Directions dye tub?

Once opened, it is recommended to use the product within 6-12 months for best results. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Color is not vibrant enough.

Ensure hair was pre-lightened to a pale blonde. Reapply the dye, ensuring even saturation and consider a longer processing time (up to 45 minutes).

Uneven color application.

Ensure hair was fully saturated during application. Brush through the hair to distribute the dye evenly and check for missed spots before rinsing.

Color faded quickly.

Use cool water for washing, opt for sulfate-free shampoos, and limit heat styling. Color fading is natural for semi-permanent dyes.

Staining on skin or clothing.

Apply petroleum jelly generously around the hairline before application. Wear old clothing and use old towels. Stains on skin can be removed with a makeup remover or an oily substance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Patch Test: Always perform a patch test 48 hours before full application to check for allergies.
  2. Strand Test: Test the color on a small, hidden section of hair to preview the result.
  3. Pre-lighten Hair: For the most vibrant PillarBox Red, hair should be pre-lightened to a pale blonde level using a bleach kit.
  4. Protect Skin & Clothing: Apply petroleum jelly to the hairline and wear old clothing to prevent staining.

Application:

  1. Apply the dye evenly to clean, dry, pre-lightened hair using gloves and a brush.
  2. Ensure full saturation for consistent color.
  3. Leave on for 20-30 minutes (or longer for more intensity, following strand test results).
  4. Rinse hair thoroughly with cool water until water runs clear. Avoid shampooing immediately.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for all hair types and textures.
  • Can be used on natural, dyed, or bleached hair, though results will vary.

Care:

  • Wash hair with cool water and sulfate-free shampoos to prolong color.
  • Avoid excessive heat styling, which can cause color to fade faster.
  • Color may transfer to lighter fabrics, towels, and skin, especially when wet.
