FAQs
Do I need to mix this with a developer?
No, La Riche Directions is a semi-permanent formula and does not require mixing with peroxide or developer.
Can I use this on dark hair?
You can apply it to dark hair, but the results will be very subtle and may only provide a slight tint or sheen rather than the deep Black Amethyst shade.
How long does the color last?
As a semi-permanent dye, it typically lasts between 4 to 8 washes, depending on your hair's porosity and your hair care routine.
Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?
La Riche is known for being a cruelty-free brand, but it is always recommended to check the current packaging for the latest certification details.
Can I mix this shade with other colors?
Yes, Directions colors are intermixable if you wish to create a custom shade, though you should test a small amount first.
Will this cover grey hair?
Semi-permanent colors like this generally do not provide full grey coverage. It may tint the grey but will not permanently mask it.
Troubleshooting
The color is not as vivid as expected.
The hair was likely not pre-lightened to the required level 10. For best results, ensure the base is pale blonde before applying.
Uneven color results.
Ensure you are using enough product to fully saturate every strand. Comb the product through thoroughly to distribute pigment evenly.
Color is fading too quickly.
Avoid washing hair with hot water and switch to a professional-grade color-protecting, sulfate-free shampoo.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Start with clean, dry, or towel-dried hair. Do not use a conditioning shampoo beforehand, as residue can block color absorption.
Protection: Protect your hairline with a thin layer of petroleum jelly to prevent skin staining and wear gloves during application.
Application: Use a tint brush to apply the product evenly from roots to ends. Comb through to ensure full saturation.
Development: Leave on the hair for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the desired intensity.
Rinsing: Rinse with cool water until the water runs clear. Avoid using hot water, as it can strip the semi-permanent color prematurely.
Care: To extend the life of the color, use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and wash hair in cooler temperatures.
