FAQs

How long does the color typically last?

Longevity depends on your hair porosity and how often you wash it, but generally lasts between 4 to 8 washes.

Do I need to mix this with a developer?

No, Directions is a ready-to-use semi-permanent dye and should not be mixed with peroxide or developer.

Can I use this on unbleached dark hair?

While it can add a slight tint to dark hair, it will not produce the bright Carnation Pink shade without first lifting your natural hair color.

Is this product safe for sensitive scalps?

Because it is free from ammonia, peroxide, and PPD, it is generally gentler, but a patch test is always recommended 48 hours before use.

Can I mix this with other Directions colors?

Yes, all Directions shades are intermixable, allowing you to create custom pastel or darker pink tones.

Troubleshooting

Color is not appearing vibrant enough

Your hair may not be light enough. Ensure hair is pre-lightened to a level 9 or 10 blonde for the most vibrant results.

Patchy or uneven color application

Ensure you are using enough product to fully saturate every strand. Comb through the hair thoroughly after application to distribute the pigment evenly.

Color staining skin around the hairline

Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a barrier cream along the hairline before application to prevent the dye from setting on the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Does not require mixing with developer
  • Leaves hair feeling conditioned and soft
  • Gentle formula suitable for frequent touch-ups
  • Highly pigmented for bold, vivid results

Cons

  • Results vary significantly based on hair porosity
  • May require pre-lightening for optimal vibrancy
  • Semi-permanent nature means it fades with washing
  • Potential for staining on bathroom surfaces and textiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the dye, always perform a strand test on a small, inconspicuous section of your hair to determine the processing time and final color outcome. Wear gloves to prevent staining your hands and protect your clothes with a cape or old towel.

To maintain the color for as long as possible, use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and wash your hair in cool water. Avoid heat styling immediately after coloring to prevent premature fading. Because the dye is semi-permanent, it will gradually lighten with each shampoo, allowing for lower-commitment color changes or easy transitions to different shades in the future.
