La Riché Directions dye gallery~

Hair dye timeline~

Okay so in my time I've had many different hair colours and combinations. My dye of choice is more often that not La Riché. I love how it's a concoction that is actually healthy for your hair! and rather than taking nutrients from it like the live xxl dyes it actually conditions and leaves your hair feeling shiny and soft. I also love the smell, I mean it's a weird one to get used to but I for one love having a 'play-doh' scented head for a couple of days.  Okay so I'm gonna wrap this post up with some of my favourite hair colours I have had in these past couple of years, hope it's interesting. :3


Okay so this is probably my favourite ever hair colour, it is La Riché 's Directions dye in Turquoise. It's a great colour and imo looks even better once it's faded a bit and has a bit more of a green tone to it. I feel like this is the one to go for if you want mermaid hair.

This is the same Turquoise dye when it is very first dyed, as you can see it is much darker and pigmented.

This is Directions Violet it came out such a cool bright colour! Though as you can see one of the only downsides to this sort of colouring is you can end up with some very *ehem* 'unique' hands if you forget gloves...

I decided to go white here and had to bleach it and tone it with Directions white toner as well as washing it regularly with silver shampoo. While I adored this colour the constant bleaching and damage it was doing to my hair was too much so I decided to dive back into the colours.

The colour I have here is directions Lavender, I love this colour but in all honesty this is the only one I've ever found to fade really fast, if you want to keep the colour this bright for long this dye isn't for you, however it does fade to a pretty lilac colour.

Here I decided to mix it up a bit and do half and half hair, it is half Directions turquoise and half of their lavender. I loved this colour combination and it made me feel like a unicorn. *neigh*

after a few very lazy weeks I left that last colour to fade to this super-cute bubblegum blue! I don't even understand why my hair is stained this colour underneath as it should be purple but hey I dig it.

I went back to half and half , this time using Directions Turquoise and Violet. This is a very bright and vibrant combo and also fades to really pretty pastel colours.

Here I went for Turquoise and Spring Green (Both Directions again) I loved how funky this looked and actually kept this one quite a while.

Next I dyed it Ebony and Mandarin for Halloween, I wanted it to be those classic spooky colours. I must say I'm not  a fan of Direction's ebony as it simply doesn't last long enough for me, though as a semi-permanent dye some would see this as a pro.

Next I moved on to Superdrug's own brand box black dye and Direction's Flame. Though it had faded considerably by the time I took this photo it initially comes out very pigmented and is a really pretty colour.

Annnnd finally this is my hair now (though I've since grown out the dodgy fringe :p)  I am still using the same Superdrug black dye and am coupling it with my favourite Direction's Turquoise. I'm still deciding on my next colour but I'm hoping to get the money together to do rainbow hair. 

Thanks for reading :3
