FAQs
How long does Stargazer Semi-Permanent Hair Colour last?
The longevity of semi-permanent hair colour varies depending on hair porosity, washing frequency, and aftercare. It typically lasts between 4-8 washes, fading gradually over time.
Do I need to bleach my hair before using this dye?
Bleaching is recommended for the most vibrant and true-to-tone results, especially on darker hair. On lighter hair, it can be used without bleaching to add a tint or enhance existing colour.
Is this dye safe for sensitive scalps?
The formula is ammonia and peroxide-free, making it gentler than permanent dyes. However, a patch test is always recommended 48 hours prior to full application to check for any adverse reactions.
Can I mix Stargazer colours?
Yes, Stargazer semi-permanent dyes can be mixed together to create custom shades. Always perform a strand test with mixed colours first.
What should I do if I have an allergic reaction?
If you experience any itching, redness, or discomfort during the patch test or application, rinse the product off immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
Will this dye damage my hair?
No, Stargazer Semi-Permanent Hair Colour is free from ammonia and peroxide, which are common causes of hair damage. The conditioning formula can actually help hair feel softer.
How do I remove the colour if I don't like it?
Semi-permanent colours fade naturally over time. For faster removal, you can try using a clarifying shampoo or a colour remover specifically designed for semi-permanent dyes. Results can vary.
Troubleshooting
Colour not vibrant enough on natural hair
For best results on darker hair, pre-lightening or bleaching is recommended. Perform a strand test to assess colour payoff on your specific hair shade.
Uneven colour application
Ensure hair is thoroughly detangled before application. Apply the dye evenly, section by section, making sure to saturate each strand. Consider using a mirror to check for missed spots.
Staining on skin or surfaces
Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) along the hairline and ears before application. Wear old clothing and use towels to protect surfaces. Clean up any spills immediately.
Colour fading quickly
Wash hair less frequently using cool water and sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoos. Avoid excessive heat styling and prolonged sun exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
- Conduct a patch test 48 hours before use to check for allergic reactions.
- Perform a strand test to see how the colour will look on your hair and how long it takes to develop.
- Wear protective gloves and clothing to avoid staining.
- Ensure hair is clean and dry, free from styling products like gels or sprays. It is recommended to wash hair a day or two before application and avoid conditioner.
Application:
- Apply the dye evenly to the desired sections of hair using a tint brush or gloved hands.
- Avoid contact with the scalp and hairline to prevent staining.
- Leave the dye on for the time recommended by your strand test (typically 15-30 minutes, or longer for deeper results).
- Rinse hair thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Do not shampoo immediately.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for all hair types (straight, wavy, curly, coily).
- Can be used on both natural and bleached/coloured hair. Note that results will vary based on the hair's base colour.
Care:
- Wash hair with cool water and a colour-safe shampoo and conditioner.
- Avoid frequent washing to prolong colour life.
- Limit the use of heat styling tools, as heat can fade colour faster.
