La Riche Hair Cosmetics Directions

I just used the pastel pink colour on my (bleached) hair, and it had a really nice result! I'm very impressed with this product, and so far there has been no fade or dye leakage or staining (although that could be because of this particular colour), it also wasn't too messy either, which is a plus!

this colour was cool, i used the lilac. Only my bad i didnt get enough as the containers are tiny! Their directions are crap though as i followed them and it didnt turn out right at all. So dont leave in for half an hour do at least 45 to 1 hr and buy enough for your hair, mine was long and i needed at least 2! then it would be mint.

This is a dye I used when I was red to touch up my roots after bleaching. It washed out quickly but I suppose that’s what you get with reds. It doesn’t cause any damage which is a bonus, rather is like a conditioning treatment. However you don’t want to get this stuff on your skin it’s so hard to get off.

I used the orange shade and was super excited the day I did it because it looked so so cool! Such a beautiful vibrant colour.

I found the colour became duller the very next day. I avoided washing my hair for as long as I could and on the 5th day I just had to wash it, the colour was gone completely after one wash. It had been fading without washing over the days prior.

I was so sad because I really liked the colour.

I have previously used affinage which I loved and it lasted really well.

I suppose if you want a colour for a day for a special event then it could be good, however I feel there are many other brands around that are better

* I tried this color in Carnation Pink. It's ok I guess. I bleached my hair to medium blonde but I should've gone even lighter. Color does not work on dark hair at all. You have to bleach your hair very fair to make color show. Pink is very vibrant first you apply it and stays like this until you wash your hair. It fades quite fast and if your hair is not paper white, you'll end up with peachy-orange hair until the pink completely vanishes (first pink fades in a week, then you'll have warm peachy-tinted hair for rest of the month and the it will be your natural hair again). I probably wouldn't buy it again because the upkeep is too much to deal with and I can't be bothered to dye my hair after three washes to keep the pink the way I want to. I'll use up what I have left though. On the good side - dye doesn't make your hair dry and I think it even conditions it. On the tub it says to rinse the color out after 15-30 min but you can keep it on longer, it doesn't do any damage, it only makes color show up better. One tub lasts for one use on shoulder length hair. If you dip-dye or use it for streaks, you can use it multiple times. For pastel shades you can use 1 part of conditioner and 2 parts of dye mixed together, but then you'll have to keep it on longer.

Now I have heard wonderful wonderful things about this - and I have no idea how the coloured dyes work, but my review will be solely based on the white toner. So if you’re looking for a review on the dyes, skip this one!

Alright so I want to mention that these little pots are sold for 4 pounds over in the UK, but in NZ i had to track mine down from trade me where I paid $20, when I received it, I was more than upset with how little it was, and how little product it contained.

The pot is also a little difficult to work with! I find transferring it to another pot sort of useless as there is such little amount in there, but then again you can’t get your dye brush in the pot either! It’s also near impossible to open the container when you first get it!

So I wanted to purchase the white toner, because I got my roots done and they were slightly more yellow than desired. I did as the directions said, wash hair, put it on, wait for 15 minutes, wash out.

I put it all over my yellow roots, waited 20 minutes and washed out. Sadly, the yellow in my hair was still there, but the surrounding areas that are platinum blonde had turned purple! I’d only left it 5 minutes longer than the recommended time and it turned purple! Lovely! Not!

I was left with a lovely silver, purple hair, with yellow roots! Not happy! Because my hair is platinum it took way longer than 20 washes to get all that colour out! So be warned!

Directions Hair Dye is a brand that has good reviews online and is inexpensive. When I was looking to dye my hair blue, I got this in the shade Atlantic Blue.

I bleached my hair to a light yellow and then applied this after washing and drying the bleached hair. Ignoring the instructions, I left this on my hair for around 5 hours (my sister trained as a hair dresser and assured me this wouldn't damage my hair). After rinsing it out I was excited to blow dry my hair to see what this looked like.

Immediately I was disappointed. Instead of being a vibrant blue, this was - at best, a pale, ugly green. It was like the pigment didn't absorb into my hair fully. I was upset because my hair had been bleached to a pale yellow and toned to take some of the brashness out. I definitely did not expect it to turn green - especially an unpigmented green.

While the pot is easy to use, I was super disappointed in the results and bought a different dye the following day which worked far better. It could be my hair type or the shade I chose but I will never purchase or use this brand again. Especially when there are more affordable, more pigmented dyes out there.
