• More on Directions

  Directions is one of the longest lasting semi-permanent hair dyes around, with a huge range of unnatural colours. Each tub contains 88ml of thick conditioning colour. Check out their brilliant colours such as Flamingo Pink, Neon Blue, Pillarbox Red, Spring Green and Violet!

  Most colours will last between 4 and 10 weeks on bleached hair, depending on your hair's porosity and the shade chosen. Not tested on animals.

• Usage Instructions & Tips +/-

  Directions works best on hair that has been pre-lightened to pale blonde. Some paler shades as well as toners will only work on very light hair. Apply directly to dry or slightly damp, freshly washed (but not conditioned hair) using a tint brush for best results, or use gloved fingers to spread the dye evenly through your hair. Allow to process for at least 15 minutes and do not allow to dry out. Rinse thoroughly. To avoid temporary staining to the skin, apply a layer of Vaseline around your hairline and ears before applying the colour.

    Pink toned red that fades to a hot pink colour, really rich and true red and the start. Didnt last quite as long as Pillarbox on my natural hair, but looks impressive on bleached hair. Report Comment

    Really, really bright on bleached hair, but it turned very pink after only a couple of washes, especially at the roots, where my hair hadn't been coloured with anything else. Report Comment

    I actually only bought this colour because 'Pillarbox red' was out of stock, but I am so glad I did! I actually had some red coulour put through a 'slice' under my right side at the hairdressers but it came out a brown/bronze colour. So I put this over it at home and it looks amazing - Very much a hot pink red, with some bits lighter than others (depending on where I had blonde or bronze hair under fringe). I have had loads of compliments and it certainly stands out very bright on blonde/bleached hair and gives my darker hair a red/pink overtone. The lighter your hair the more Hot Pink/red it looks judging from mine. It washed away in the bathroom easily, but was a little more diffcult to get off my skin (I had worn gloves, but it's been a while since i did this and managed to get some on my cheek and wrists), but with some diltuted kitchen spray/bleach this came right out to. I only did under my fringe and right side, so only had to use 1/4 of a tub. Definetly value for money and would recommend - even if it's been a while since you did it - but recommend the tips on vaseline on your hairline, etc as on the website. Overall really pleased : ) Report Comment

    This was a really bright beautiful red when I first applied it but after just one wash it had faded a bit and orange tones were coming through so I'll need to keep topping this one up for it to stay true red. Maybe after a few applications it might have more lasting power. Report Comment
