Our formulas are always vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and free from harsh chemicals like ammonia, peroxide and PPD. And they don’t just colour – they condition. That means soft, glossy, manageable hair with every application.

Neon hair colour that’s kind on your hair and on the planet

Light up the room with our striking fluorescent shades
Ready to feel the glow? Our four punchy fluorescent shades are made to mix, match, and make your hair light up any occasion. From luminescent lime to light-up yellow – explore the most eye-catching collection of neon hair colours.
- Fluorescent Green: Earthy meets electric in this vivid green that’s packed with power. Fluorescent Green supercharges any style with an eye-popping luminosity that never goes unnoticed.
- Fluorescent Lime: This ultra-refreshing, zesty lime green hair colour offers dynamic neon vibes that glow with ultraviolet energy. Fluorescent Lime is the perfect bridge between wild and wearable.
- Fluorescent Yellow: Bright, bold and beaming – Fluorescent Yellow is your go-to for neon sunshine vibes and maximum UV glow. Apply to pre-lightened hair for a yellow that’s anything but mellow.
- Fluorescent Orange: Turn up the heat with this fiery orange that’s dazzling by day and blazes under black light. For those chasing neon orange hair that refuses to be ignored, this one’s got serious flavour.
Want to give your dark hair a dramatic gleam? Because of how light and bright our fluorescent hair dyes are, we recommend pre-lightening black, brown or dark blonde hair before applying to get the desired intense effect.
Alternatively, why not create some luminescent highlights, radiant tints, or trendy ombré blends to contrast with your naturally darker shades? Directions hair dye allows you to discover your ultimate fluorescent glow.
Get creative: Mix and match to find your fluorescent fave
Give yourself a custom glow. Our fluorescent hair dyes are fully mixable with each other and with the wider Directions range, so you can create your own unique luminous shades. Blend Fluorescent Green and Lime for a larger-than-life green shade, or add a drop of another Direction colour to create contrast and depth.
Alternatively, mix our neon hair colours with white toner for a vivacious pastel effect that is sure to stand out from the crowd.
Whether you're after a full head of high-voltage colour or a UV-reactive dip-dye look, the creative possibilities are endless with Directions.
Achieve salon-quality results at home
Our semi-permanent fluorescent hair dye is designed for easy application – no salon experience required. With clear instructions and a conditioning formula that’s gentle on your strands, you get vibrant, glowing results at home with minimal fuss.
We always recommend performing both a strand test and a skin patch test before applying our fluorescent hair dyes. This will give you complete confidence that your hair colour will turn out exactly as you hoped, and that you won’t suffer any irritations and allergies.
Whether you’re creating neon green hair for festival season or trying out a stunning streak of yellow, Directions makes changing hair colour easy, fun and totally you.
Top tips for deep-rooted fluorescent colour
Want your fluorescent hair dye to stay vibrant for longer? Here’s how to stretch the life of your glow:
- Use colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner to protect your shade and hair health
- Wash your hair less often (2-3 times per week) and always with cool water
- Avoid heavy oils and deep conditioners before dyeing
- Use a UV protectant spray to guard your hair against sun fade
- Keep heat styling to a minimum, or turn the temperature down
These small steps can make a big difference when it comes to preserving your vivid hair colour – especially the high-impact neon tones that demand attention.
Have your eye on another scintillating shade? Use a clarifying shampoo and wash with warm water to fade your fluorescent hair colour faster.

Fluorescent hair dye FAQs
What is the best fluorescent hair dye for vivid results?
The best fluorescent hair dye delivers intense colour, UV-reactive glow, and a conditioning formula that keeps hair healthy and vibrant.
At Directions, our semi-permanent fluorescent hair dyes are packed with pigment and designed to glow boldly under black light, making them perfect for high-impact looks. Whether you choose Fluorescent Orange, Yellow, Green or Lime, each shade delivers an electric hair colour experience – no harsh chemicals required.
For best results, apply to pre-lightened or light blonde hair to unlock the brightest, most vivid glow.
What makes fluorescent hair dye different from regular dye?
Fluorescent or UV-reactive hair dye contains special pigments that glow under ultraviolet (UV) light, such as black lights used in clubs, festivals or creative photo shoots.
Unlike traditional dyes, fluorescent colours don’t just look bright in daylight – they emit a stunning glow when exposed to UV light, creating an ultraviolet colour effect that’s impossible to ignore.
Directions fluorescent dyes are ideal for people looking to make a bold statement with their hair while enjoying the vegan-friendly, cruelty-free benefits of our core range.
How light does my hair need to be for fluorescent dye to work?
To achieve the most vivid hair colour and UV glow, we strongly recommend applying fluorescent dye to pre-lightened or light blonde hair (levels 9–10). The lighter the base, the more intense the colour and glow effect.
While some pigment may appear on darker hair, neon hair dye works best when your hair has been bleached or lightened beforehand.
Does fluorescent hair dye work on dark hair?
Fluorescent colours may show a subtle tint on darker hair, but to really achieve a bold, glowing result – especially under black light – you’ll need to start with pre-lightened hair.
For full-strength neon green hair, fluorescent yellow, or electric orange, using a hair lightening kit will unlock the full impact of the colour.
Does Directions fluorescent hair dye glow in the dark?
Not quite – fluorescent hair dye is UV reactive, which means it glows under black light (ultraviolet light), not in total darkness.
When exposed to UV light, these pigments emit an intense ultraviolet glow, making them perfect for clubs, festivals, raves and creative shoots. But without UV light, they behave like any other bright hair dye – vibrant, eye-catching and full of life.
