Directions Orange Semi-Permanent Hair Dye

Absolutely. All our orange hair colours are fully mixable, so you can craft your perfect custom shade.

Try blending orange with:

• Red for red-orange hair
• Yellow for orange-yellow or sunset tones
• Pink for a peachy or coral finish
• Brown for a natural brown-orange hair tint

Orange hair is perfect for creating bold, head-turning colour combinations. Whether you're mixing dyes or experimenting with split tones, ombré, or highlights, orange pairs beautifully with a wide range of shades:

• Orange and pink hair – A fun, peachy combo that blends warm and playful vibes
• Orange and red hair – For a fiery, high-impact look full of depth and intensity
• Orange and yellow hair – Bright, sunny and perfect for a sunset-inspired gradient
• Orange and blonde hair – Creates a soft, golden glow that’s wearable and vibrant
• Orange and black hair – A dramatic contrast that makes both shades pop
• Orange and purple hair – Unexpected and bold, with a magical, creative twist
• Orange and brown hair – For a more natural, earthy result with auburn or ginger tones

Yes – orange is surprisingly versatile. Shades like ginger orange, amber, or copper orange tend to flatter warm and neutral skin tones, while vibrant neons and pastels offer contrast that can really pop against cooler complexions.

With so many variations – from soft and subtle to bright and bold – at Directions there’s an orange hair dye for everyone.

Orange hair often symbolises energy, creativity and fearless individuality. It’s the colour of fire, warmth and optimism – making it the perfect choice for those who want to stand out with confidence.

Whether you go for a fiery flame or a sophisticated peach, this shade speaks to those who embrace change, self-expression and vibrant living.

Semi-permanent orange hair dye offers vivid colour without long-term commitment. Unlike permanent dyes, our range contains no ammonia, peroxide or harsh chemicals, making our colours gentler on your hair and scalp.

It’s perfect for experimenting with hair colour trends, trying out a temporary orange hair dye, or testing a bold new look without worrying about regrowth or damage. This makes our colours perfect for first-time dyers and anyone who loves to keep their style fresh.

To keep your vibrant orange colour looking fresh and bold:

• Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
• Rinse with cool or lukewarm water
• Wash 2–3 times per week max
• Use heat protectants when styling
• Avoid sun exposure, or use a UV protectant spray

Following these steps helps prevent premature fading and keeps your orange hair glowing.

If you’re ready to move on from orange:

• Use a clarifying shampoo to help fade the colour
• Skip colour-protecting products while fading
• Wash with warm water to open the hair cuticle
• Try natural fade methods like vitamin C treatments or coconut oil masks

Avoid bleach or colour strippers unless advised by a hair colouring professional, and condition often during the transition process.

Yes – our orange dyes are designed for safe and simple at-home use. No developer required, just apply, process and rinse.

Every pot is:

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

Be sure to perform a patch test and strand test beforehand and follow all instructions for the best results.

Directions semi-permanent orange hair dyes do not contain bleach or lightening agents. If your orange turns out darker than expected, you can:

• Fade it gradually using clarifying shampoo
• Let the colour wash out naturally
• Reapply a lighter tone after some fading

For more dramatic corrections, consult a professional colourist.

As our orange hair dyes are temporary, you may experience colour transfer after application.

To reduce colour bleeding from semi-permanent orange dyes:

• Rinse with cool water until it runs clear
• Avoid heavy conditioning before application
• Use sulfate-free shampoo post-colour
• Sleep with a dark towel or pillowcase for the first few nights

This helps lock in the pigment and prevent transfer.

Never. All our orange hair colours are 100% cruelty-free.

As a PETA-certified brand, we never test on animals, and all our dyes are also vegan-friendly – because great colour shouldn't come at a cost to animals.

Your hair type and its condition will affect how long your orange hair colour stays at its most vibrant. 

Darker oranges like Flame or Tangerine typically last longer, while pastels and fluorescent oranges may fade faster without the right aftercare.

Although our dyes are free from harsh chemicals like ammonia and peroxide, we recommend checking with a medical professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, just to be safe.

Once opened, we recommend using your orange hair dye within 12 months. Unopened pots can last up to 3 years if stored properly.

If it’s been sitting for a while, a strand test will confirm whether it still delivers the desired results.

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

As a general rule, we recommend using orange hair colours darker than your current shade. 

Without using our hair lightening products, some of our orange hair dye will only create a tint, rather than full, vibrant coverage.
