Directions Semi Permanent Hair Color keeps going around 4-8 washes
Product Overview
Directions Spring Green is a bright, energetic semi-permanent green hair dye that delivers a vivid, fresh, spring-green hue. It provides a bold, eye-catching colour result that works best on pre-lightened or pale blonde hair. The formula is ammonia-free, peroxide-free, conditioning, vegan, and cruelty-free — gentle enough for frequent colour changes yet vibrant enough for creative, expressive looks.

Aftercare & Colour Maintenance Tips
Wash hair 2–3 times per week to maintain vibrancy.
Use cool or lukewarm water — hot water fades bright colours quickly.
Choose sulphate-free shampoo to preserve pigment.
Deep-condition regularly, especially if hair was bleached beforehand.
Limit heat styling or use heat protectant to avoid colour fade.
Avoid excessive sun exposure — UV rays can dull bright green shades.
Refresh colour by mixing a small amount of Spring Green dye with conditioner between full applications.
Avoid clarifying shampoo unless you want to remove or fade the colour.
How To Use
Step 1: Preparation
Gather supplies: You will need the Directions hair colour jar, gloves, an applicator brush (or bowl), a wide-tooth comb, towel, and a plastic cap.
Protect your clothing and skin: Wear an old t-shirt or cape and apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or barrier cream around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent staining.
Perform a patch test: At least 48 hours before application, apply a small amount of colour to a patch of skin to check for any allergic reaction.
Step 2: Hair Prep
Wash hair: Clean hair with a gentle shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup. Avoid conditioner if you want maximum colour adhesion.
Dry or towel-dry: Hair should be damp or dry. Directions colours can be applied to both, but damp hair allows more even coverage.
Step 3: Application
Put on gloves to protect your hands from staining.
Shake the jar well to ensure pigment is evenly distributed.
Section hair: Divide hair into 4–6 sections using clips for easy and even application.
Apply colour: Using an applicator brush or your gloved hands, start at the roots and work down to the tips. Make sure every strand is fully saturated for uniform colour.
Comb through: Use a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the colour and eliminate any clumps.
Step 4: Processing
Cover hair: Put on a plastic cap to prevent staining surfaces and help retain warmth, which can enhance colour vibrancy.
Processing time: Leave the colour on for 15–30 minutes.
For a subtle tint, 15 minutes is sufficient.
For a more intense, vivid green, leave up to 30 minutes.
For pre-lightened or blonde hair, the colour may appear more vibrant.
Optional: For extra intensity, gently apply heat with a hairdryer (low-medium setting) over the cap.
Step 5: Rinsing
Rinse with cool water: Do not use hot water as it can fade the colour faster.
Rinse until water runs clear: Gently massage hair while rinsing. Do not use shampoo immediately unless necessary.
Condition: Apply a light conditioner or Directions’ aftercare conditioner to seal in colour and maintain softness.
Step 6: Drying & Styling
Towel-dry gently: Avoid rubbing, which can cause uneven fading.
Air-dry or blow-dry carefully: If using heat styling tools, use a heat protectant to prevent damage.
Style as desired.
Step 7: Aftercare & Maintenance
Wash hair 2–3 times per week with sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo to maintain vibrancy.
Use cool water for washing and rinsing.
Apply deep conditioning masks weekly to keep hair soft and shiny.
Limit excessive heat styling and sun exposure to prevent premature fading.
For touch-ups, reapply every 4–6 weeks depending on fading.
