La Riche Directions Apple Green is a semi-permanent hair dye in a bright apple-green shade with a warm, slightly yellowish undertone. A cheerful green that really shines on light blonde hair. You don't need developer: the cream can be applied directly to your hair straight from the pot. It contains no ammonia or peroxide, so your hair is not opened up like with permanent dye.

The color coats the outside of your hair and gradually washes out over four to six weeks, depending on how often you wash it. This allows you to try Apple Green without being stuck with it for months. The 100 ml pot is resealable, so you can store any leftovers for next time.

What hair does it work on

You will get the best results on light blonde or bleached hair. The lighter your hair, the brighter the color. On dark blonde hair, you will mainly see a glow, while on brown or black hair, the color is barely visible. If you want the color on darker hair, you will need to bleach it first.

How to use

1. Wash your hair with shampoo without conditioner and towel-dry it.
2. Apply some Vaseline to your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent the color from staining your skin.
3. Put on gloves and distribute the cream evenly from roots to ends. A dye brush helps with application.
4. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Leaving it on longer will result in a more intense color.
5. Rinse out with cold water until the water is clear. Do not use shampoo afterwards.
6. Dry and style your hair as usual.

Do not mix Directions with peroxide. Always perform a strand test on a small section of hair first, so you know exactly what color you will get.

Keeping the color beautiful for longer

Wash your hair with lukewarm to cool water and a mild sulfate-free shampoo, and do not wash it more often than necessary. A dollop of the color mixed with your conditioner works as a color mask and keeps the shade fresh for longer.

Mixing with other colors

All Directions colors can be mixed together. Mix Apple Green with Alpine Green for a deeper forest green, or with Sunflower for a sunny lime. If you want a lighter, pastel version of Apple Green, mix a little into a white conditioner.
