BEFORE & AFTERS

BEFORE

Start with dry hair of any color! Decide what type of streak or strands look you want. 

AFTER LIGHTENING

Lighten the areas you want dyed. Our Lightening Kit safely lifts hair 4-5 levels.

AFTER DYEING

Voila! Time to show off your new vibrant ‘do. You can keep your color longer with DYEposit.

We can’t wait to see what looks you create! Don’t forget to tag @gooddyeyoung!

 

  • Step 1: Lightening Kit 

    • Start with dry, unwashed hair.

    • Mix the pre-measured Powder and Developer until it is well blended. There should be no clumps. 

    • Section your hair, clipping back the areas you don’t want to lighten, and apply the lightening mixture with a gloved hand or brush. Leave 1 inch of the roots out for later.

    • Apply the lightener to your roots in 1/4-inch sections. 

    • Let your hair process for no more than 50 minutes, until you achieve the desired tone. Check consistently (every 5-10 minutes) to evaluate the color lift.

    • After you achieve the desired result, rinse and shampoo your hair thoroughly with warm water until you are sure all of the product is removed. Do NOT condition the hair, as your Semi-Permanent Dye will act like your conditioner when you apply.

  • Step 2: Semi-Permanent Hair Color

    • Dry your hair and comb thoroughly.

    • Squeeze your color into the GDY Tool Kit. Remember: wear gloves to prevent staining on your hands.

    • Section your hair as you did for the lightening step and apply dye directly onto dry hair. Make sure the color is fully saturated throughout each section.

    • Let the color sit on your hair for at least 30 minutes.

    • Rinse the hair color out with cool water to lock the color in. No shampoo or conditioner is necessary. 

    • After rinsing, dry and style as desired.

  • Step 3: Color Refresh with DYEposit 1 week after coloring

    • After shampooing in the shower, section your vivid streaks out and clip the rest back. 

    • Before applying, squeeze the excess water out of your hair. 

    • Apply DYEposit to the hair in place of your conditioner.

    • Comb DYEposit through your hair for even distribution. 

    • Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

To maximize the vibrancy of your newly semi-permanent dyed hair, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before your first shampoo. To minimize fading over time, rinse your hair with cool water each time you wash. Plus: try reducing your hair washing days to extend the color even further, and use DYEposit - Green once a week to maintain your color.

  • When lightening your hair, leave the roots for last, the natural heat from your scalp causes your hair at the roots to lighten quicker than the rest of your hair. 

  • Over the coming days when washing your hair, use cool water to lock in the pigment and prevent excessive color bleeding. 

  • Avoid clarifying shampoos. Use our GDY Color Kind Hair Care line to keep color vibrant longer.

  • Kowabunga is a true green, so when you rinse your hair, the water will run more yellow rather than blue.
