Yes – blue is incredibly versatile and can flatter a wide range of skin tones. Cool blues like Pastel Blue or Lagoon Blue pair beautifully with fair skin, while deeper tones like Midnight Blue or Denim Blue complement medium to deep complexions.

You can also experiment with vibrant shades like Neon Blue or Turquoise to make a real statement, no matter your undertone.

Blue hair often represents creativity, confidence, calmness and rebellion all at once. It’s a colour of freedom and expression, associated with individuality, nonconformity and cool confidence.

From soft sky blue hair to bold royal blue, choosing blue is a powerful way to stand out while staying true to your vibe.

How your blue hair colour fades depends on the specific shade, your base colour, and hair porosity:

• Lighter shades (like Pastel Blue or Lagoon Blue) may fade to silvery, steely or even lilac hues
• Brighter colours (like Turquoise or Neon Blue) may fade to greenish tones
• Darker blues (like Midnight Blue) may fade to cool grey, teal or soft navy over time

Using the right products and care routine, such as sulfate-free blue hair shampoo, helps reduce unwanted undertones and keeps your colour fresh.

Semi-permanent blue hair dye gives you the freedom to experiment without long-term commitment. Unlike permanent blue hair dye, our formulas contain no ammonia, peroxide, or harsh chemicals – making them gentler on your hair and scalp.

Perfect for changing looks, blending colours, or trying a new blue hair trend, semi-permanent colour fades gradually with no harsh lines or regrowth to manage.

To protect your blue hair and keep it vibrant:

• Wash 2-3 times per week, using cool or lukewarm water
• Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
• Avoid hot hair modelling tools, or use heat protection
• Use a UV-protectant spray in the sun

Following a consistent routine helps extend the life of your colour and keeps it looking glossy and strong. For more blue hair colour tips, check out our How-To Guides.

When you're ready to change things up:

• Use a clarifying shampoo to gently fade the colour
• Avoid colour-safe or sulfate-free products while fading
• Wash with warm water to open the hair cuticle
• Try natural methods like a vitamin C mask or coconut oil treatment

Avoid bleaching or colour removers unless advised by a professional. Always follow up with deep conditioning treatments to maintain hair health.

Yes – our blue hair dyes are designed for easy at-home use. With no developer needed, you can apply them directly to the hair by following the instructions included.

All Directions blue dyes are:

• 100% vegan and cruelty-free
• PETA-certified
• Free from ammonia, peroxide, and PPD

Just remember to carry out a patch test and strand test before full application.

Our blue hair dyes don’t contain bleach or lifting agents, so they can't lighten your hair. If your shade of blue turns out darker than expected, you can:

• Fade it gently with clarifying shampoo
• Let it wash out naturally over time
• Apply a lighter shade once the colour has lifted

Always wait until the colour has significantly faded before re-dyeing to avoid unpredictable results.

To minimise blue hair colour bleeding after application:

• Rinse with cool water until it runs clear
• Skip heavy conditioners before dyeing
• Use sulfate-free, colour-safe products
• Sleep on old pillowcases or use dark towels until the colour settles

This helps protect your skin, clothing, and surroundings from excess dye.

Blue hair dye can sometimes stain the skin during application, especially around the hairline, ears and hands. If this happens:

• Act quickly – the sooner you wipe it, the easier it is to remove
• Use a gentle makeup remover, micellar water, or oil-based cleanser on a cotton pad
• Try dabbing with baking soda mixed with water, or a little toothpaste (non-whitening) for more stubborn stains
• Apply a moisturiser, petroleum jelly or barrier cream around your hairline before colouring next time to prevent staining

Avoid scrubbing harshly – be kind to your skin, just like our semi-permanent hair dyes are kind to your hair. Most dye stains fade naturally within a day or two with regular washing.

No – none of our blue hair dye products are tested on animals. We are proudly PETA Cruelty-Free and Vegan certified, and always will be.

The longevity of your blue hair colour depends on your hair type, base shade and aftercare.

Bright or pastel blues may fade quicker, while deeper shades like Midnight Blue or Atlantic Blue can last longer. Regular upkeep and the right hair care can help extend your results.

Our dyes are free from ammonia and peroxide, but we always recommend checking with a healthcare provider before use if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Once opened, we recommend using your blue hair dye within 12 months. Unopened pots can last up to 3 years if stored in a cool, dry place.

If you're unsure whether the dye is still good, do a strand test to check colour payoff and consistency.

It is at the customer's discretion to use our blue hair dyes past these estimates. Directions does not take any responsibility for poor results caused by product expiration.

As a general rule, we recommend choosing a blue hair colour slightly darker than your current shade for the best result – unless you plan to pre-lighten.

For brown or darker hair, we recommend rich, darker blue tones like Midnight Blue or Denim Blue for best visibility.

For pre-lightened or blonde hair, you can experiment with our complete range of blue hair dyes – from Pastel Blue and Lagoon Blue to the bolder, bright blues of Atlantic Blue and Turquoise.
