Directions Green Semi-Permanent Hair Dye

Yes! Our colours are fully mixable, letting you get creative and build your own custom green hair shades.

Popular combinations include:

• Green and blue hair for aquatic or blue-green hair tones
• Green and pink hair for a playful, festival-inspired blend
• Green and purple hair to create fantasy or galaxy-inspired hues
• Green and black hair for rich, dramatic effects
• Green and orange/red hair for fiery, high-contrast styles

You can also lighten your colour with a white toner to achieve your dream pastel green hair or sage green hair tone.

Yes – green is one of the most versatile colours in the spectrum. Cooler greens like spring green or pastel green complement fair complexions, while deeper tones like emerald green hair or forest green hair work beautifully on medium to dark skin tones.

If you’re unsure which green hair dye shade suits your skin tone, perform a strand test before committing fully to a colour.

Green hair is evocative, expressive and full of meaning. Often associated with renewal, nature, rebellion and creative freedom, it’s a colour that defies the ordinary.

Whether you're channelling mermaid green hair, going punk with neon green hair, or aiming for a mystical moss green hair look, green is a colour for fearless transformations.

How your green hair dye fades depends on the shade, your base colour and the thickness of your hair. Here’s what to expect:

• Lighter greens (like Fluorescent Lime) may fade to yellowy or minty hues
• Mid-range greens (like Spring Green) may fade to soft mossy or earthy tones
• Dark greens (like Alpine Green) may fade to grey-green or subtle olive undertones

Using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, cool water, and minimal heat helps maintain vibrancy and prevent unwanted fade tones.

Semi-permanent green hair dye is ideal for those who love to experiment. They’re perfect for switching up your look, blending tones, or trying seasonal shades like fluorescent green or dark green hair – without needing to make a long-term commitment.

Plus, unlike permanent green hair dye, our formulas contain no ammonia, peroxide, or harsh chemicals – making them safer and gentler for natural hair and treated hair.

To maintain your vibrant green hair between touch-ups:

• Wash with cool water, no more than 2-3 times per week
• Always use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
• Reduce the heat on hair straighteners or modelling tools
• Use a UV spray for sun protection

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

Ready for a change? Here’s how you can fade your semi-permanent green hair dye:

• Use a clarifying shampoo and warm water
• Avoid colour-protecting products
• Try natural remedies like a vitamin C mask
• Be patient – our dyes wash out gradually

Please do not use colour removers or strippers unless advised by a professional.

Yes! Our green hair dyes are made for easy, at-home application. No developer needed – just apply directly to clean, dry hair using the instructions provided.

All Directions dyes are:

• 100% vegan and cruelty-free
• PETA-certified
• Free from harsh chemicals like peroxide and PPD

Just be sure to carry out a patch test and strand test before use.

Our semi-permanent hair dyes don't contain lifting agents, so they won't lighten your hair. If your green hair colour is darker than expected, you can:

• Fade it gently with clarifying shampoo
• Let it wash out over time
• Reapply a lighter shade once it’s faded

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

To avoid green hair dye staining or bleeding:

• Rinse in cold water until the water runs clear
• Don’t use heavy conditioner before applying dye
• Use colour-safe, sulfate-free products
• Use dark towels and pillowcases after dyeing

This helps keep your skin, fabrics and furniture stain-free and minimise colour bleeding.

If green hair dye gets on your skin during application:

• Wipe it away quickly with a damp cloth
• Use micellar water, oil-based cleanser, or gentle makeup remover
• For stubborn spots, try a dab of baking soda paste or non-whitening toothpaste

Consider applying a thin barrier of petroleum jelly or Vaseline around your hairline when you next dye your hair to help prevent staining your skin.

Never. Our entire green hair dye range is PETA Cruelty-Free and Vegan certified. We do not and will never test on animals.

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

Bright or pastel greens may fade quicker, while deeper shades like Alpine Green may last longer. Regular upkeep and the right hair care can help extend your results.

Although our dyes are free from ammonia and peroxide, always check with your doctor before using any of our products during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Once opened, we recommend using your green hair dye within 12 months. Unopened pots can last up to 3 years when stored in cool, dry conditions.

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

It is at the customer's discretion to use our green 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 green 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 green tones like Alpine Green for best visibility. For pre-lightened or blonde hair, you can experiment with our full collection of green hair dyes – from the lighter Spring Green to the luminous, bright Fluorescent Green and Fluorescent Lime.
