Lightening
We do not recommend using the GDY Lightening Kit on relaxed hair as the hair has already undergone a chemical process. We recommend seeking a professional’s help if you are considering lightening hair that is chemically relaxed.
Yes, you can use the GDY Lightening Kit on naturally textured hair. However, hair texture will impact the lightening process, so it is important to keep an eye on your hair while it’s processing. We recommend seeking a professional’s help if you are considering lightening hair that is chemically relaxed or permed.
Curly hair, fine hair, and chemically treated hair types are more prone to damage due to the density and shape of the strand. To be safe, leave the lightener on for 30 minutes, and then check on it in 10-minute intervals to prevent over-processing.
Going platinum is a dramatic hair transformation that requires care and expertise. We always recommend seeking a professional when going platinum to maintain the integrity of your hair.
We use 25 Volume Crème Developer because it is the magic number! Volume 25 while provides the perfect amount of lift while leaving your hair in good condition so you can achieve optimal results.
The Good Dye Young Lightening Kit allows you to create the perfect base for applying GDY Semi-Permanent hair color. You can lighten your hair to a level 9 or 10 light blonde, so when you apply any GDY Semi-Permanent Hair Color, it will show up as vibrant as possible.
The best way to apply the GDY Lightening Kit is as follows:
1. Do a strand test to make sure the lightener will not damage your hair. Next, do a patch test on your skin if you plan on applying the GDY Lightening Kit to your scalp.
2. Section and clip your hair into 4 sections by parting your hair down the middle and then side to side from top of crown to bottom of ear.
3. Start in the back on the bottom sections first and apply GDY Lightener, keeping it an inch from the root area. Work your way up on each section before moving to the front. TIP: Did you know the heat from your scalp will cause the lightener to process more quickly? To avoid this and achieve even lighteness, wait to apply lightener to the root area until after the rest of your hair has processed to about two shades darker than your desired color.
4. Apply the GDY Lightener in small, half inch sections, remembering to stay an inch away from the roots. Avoid thick sections to prevent missed spots and uneven results. Use your gloved hand or color brush to fully saturate each strand.
TIP: If your ends are lighter and previously processed, leave them out initially. Once all sections are covered, go back and apply lightener to the ends to avoid over-processing.
5. Once you’ve applied lightener to the mids and ends and your hair is 1–2 shades darker than your target color, go back through each section and apply lightener to the roots.
6. To help process the lightener faster and prevent it from drying out, wrap each section in foil. Remember: once the lightener dries, it stops working.
TIP: If you don't have foil, you can wrap each quadrant in plastic wrap. Once the full application is complete, wrap all of your hair in plastic to retain moisture and boost lift.
7. Let your hair process until desired lightness but for no more than 50 minutes. Check consistently (every 5-10 minutes) to evaluate the color lift. Darker hair may need to be lightened more than once to reach your perfect base.
8. After you have achieved the desired result, rinse the lightener out thoroughly and shampoo and condition.
9. Now you can apply your favorite GDY hair color!
When using the GDY Lightening Kit on hair that has been previously dyed or lightened, proceed with caution. Here are some tips to help you determine what's best for your unique hair.
If you have previously dyed your hair and would like am even canvas, apply lightener on the portion of hair that has been dyed first, leaving any natural hair untouched. Allow this to process until 1-2 levels darker than goal lightness. After this, apply to the natural hair until both sections are even in lightness; then, rinse, wash, condition and tone. Natural hair lightens faster than hair that has been previously dyed.
If you have previously lightened hair to your desired color, apply lightener only to the regrowth, avoiding overlap. Process to desired lightness, then rinse, wash, and tone.
If the goal is all over lighter than your current color, on previously lightened hair – and you have MORE than 1/2 inch of regrowth – apply the GDY Lightener to mid-shaft and ends, leaving an inch at the root untouched. Once hair color is 1-2 levels away from desired lightness, apply to root and process until even; then, rinse, wash, condition, and tone.
If the goal is all over lighter than your current color, on previously lightened hair – and you have LESS than 1⁄2 of regrowth – apply the GDY Lightener from root to end. Allow to process until even, then rinse, wash and tone.
If your current color is your goal, but you have roots, simply apply to your roots and avoid overlapping on your current color as this can cause breakage.
Note that hair always lifts warm. If at any point, any portion of the hair becomes the color of the inside of a banana, it should be rinsed. This is what stylists refer to as an open level 10. This will tone to a platinum blonde, or a pastel color. Hair cannot safely go past this lightness. Alternatively, if hair becomes stretchy, the porosity has been compromised and it should be rinsed immediately.
When doing any lightening service at home, always apply lightener to the mid-shaft and ends first, leaving an inch of natural hair at the root. Allow mid-shaft and ends to process until 1-2 levels darker than goal lightness. Once this occurs, apply to roots and allow to process evenly. Hair lightens faster at the roots due to new keratin and natural scalp heat.

See "What is GDY’s Lightening Kit, and how do I use it?" for more in-depth instructions.
To ensure you get the most vibrant and colorful results from GDY, we recommend that you pre-lighten your hair using the GDY Lightening Kit. However some colors, like our Darker Daze collection will work on naturally blonde hair.
We've made it easy for you! Both the Crème Developer and the Powder Lightener are pre-measured to the perfect ratio, so you can spend more time admiring your new hair, and less time worrying. Simply mix one bottle of the Crème Developer with one packet of Powder Lightener, making sure to mix thoroughly to an even cream consistency.
See full list of instructions on how to apply.
The number of GDY Lightening Kits you will need will depend on the look you are trying to achieve.
Just lightening a small section? Check out our Streaks & Strands Lightening Kit! It's the perfect amount for money pieces, buzzcuts, bangs, dip-dyes, and every small job in between.
If you plan on lightening your full head, it could require between 1-6 Lightening Kits depending on hair length, texture, and density. Short hair that is above the ears will require 1-2 kits. Shoulder-length hair will require 2-3 kits. Medium-length hair will require 3-5 kits depending on density. Long hair will require 5-6 kits depending on density.
Pro-Tip: If you'll need more than one Lightening Kit, mix one bottle and one packet at a time, that way if you don’t need the others, you can save them for touching up next time!
It’s always recommended you seek the help and advice of a professional hair stylist when you are lightening your hair for the first time. Good Dye Young is always here to help guide your stylist on the use of GDY products if your stylist is not familiar with our line! Feel free to check out the rest of our FAQ for step-by-step instructions and helpful tips! Or email us at help@gooddyeyoung.com.
You can leave it on for up to 50 minutes and then rinse out, shampoo, condition and dry. We do suggest checking your hair after 30 minutes, then in 10-minute intervals after that, until you have achieved your desired result.
If you've rinsed out the Lightening Kit and feel you need to go even lighter, we suggest waiting 2-4 days before lightening again. Since this would be your second time lightening, we suggest only leaving the lightening kit on for a max of 30 minutes and checking frequently to avoid over-processing! [for more detials, see the above question: “How Can I Use the Lightening Kit on Hair That Has Been Previously Dyed?"}
Hair will always lift warm. If you are planning to follow with a GDY semi-permanent shade that is darker or warm (ex: Make It Happen, All in This Together, Riot) you should be fine to proceed with toning.
If your goal is a lighter or a cool shade, you may need to do another round of lightening. First, take a strand test to ensure that your hair is able to handle another round of lightening. If so, apply GDY's Lightening Kit as directed, or go to our step-by-step guide. Also see the above question: “How Can I Use the Lightening Kit on Hair That Has Been Previously Dyed?”
We recommend waiting at least 2-4 days in between lightening, or 1-2 weeks for healthiest results.
It is always best to seek professional help when lightening black hair dye. If you choose to do so yourself, proceed with caution. Please perform a test strand before lightening any black dye.
It is dangerous to use GDY Powder Lightener on hair that has been treated with permanent black color IF the black color is what is known as henna or metallic dye (ex: Just for Men, Just for Women, or any dye that is meant to gradually replace grey) as these are chemically different and essentially do not stop processing even after washing.
If a regular black hair dye or GDY's None More Black was used, you may lighten but proceed cautiously. Hair that is dyed black can only be safely lightened 2-3 levels at a time. Please allow 1-2 weeks in between lightening services on dyed black hair to maintain hair integrity.
Please see “How Can I Use the Lightening Kit on Hair That Has Been Previously Dyed?” for instructions if you choose to do so at home.
It is highly likely your hair will turn red, pink or orange when lightening. Please note that lightening permanently colored black hair can be highly damaging to your hair and can cause severe breakage. If at any point, hair becomes stretchy or very uneven in color, stop immediately and seek professional help.
Good Dye Young hair color is PPD-free to minimize the risk of adverse reactions, but it’s still recommended you perform a patch test by using the following method:
1. Choose a small area of skin roughly the size of a penny for the test, preferably somewhere discreet such as the inner fold of your elbow.
2. Wash the test area with water and soap and pat dry with a clean towel.
3. Place a thin coating of your chosen GDY dye upon the test area. Allow the dye to dry and leave it undisturbed and uncovered for 2 to 3 hours.
4. Examine the test area for any signs of irritation. If there is a negative reaction, then the product should not be used by that person under any circumstances.
Semi-Permanent
Absolutely! At GDY, we want to make it easy for you to create and express yourself.
For example, you can use conditioner to transform any of your favorite shades into a less intensely pigmented pastel if that’s what you’re looking for.
Alternatively, you can also use our color additive, None More Black, to deepen any of our colors.
You can watch some instructional videos on how to create some of our favorite custom colors on YouTube! Here are some of our most popular color combinations:
- Emerald: Kowabunga + a couple drops of None More Black
- Coral: 2 parts Ex-Girl + 1 part Riot
- Neon Green: 1 part Kowabunga + 1 part Steal My Sunshine
To ensure the color you mixed is the perfect shade for you, you can first perform a test swatch on your own hair. Grab a small piece from the back underneath of your hair, apply the color and wait 15-20 minutes. Rinse the color out and see if it meets your desired result!
If you use GDY to create your own custom color, share photos of your final results and let us know how you did it!
Yes! Simply seal up your unused portion and store in a cool, dry place. The product will last up to 12 months after being opened.
We do not recommend using GDY on your eyelashes, but our semi-permanent solution is skin-safe for eyebrow and facial hair application. Always perform a patch test before applying any product to the skin.
To ensure you get the most vibrant and colorful results from GDY, we recommend that you pre-lighten your hair using our Lightening Kit.
If you are planning to use any of the shades from our Lighter Daze line, your hair will need to be a level 9 or 10 (platinum blonde) for the color to appear on the hair. To safely achieve a level 10, we recommend lightening your hair no more than 4 levels at a time. This means if you start at a level 4 dark brown, you can only safely go up to a level 8 in one process. Wait 1-2 weeks between lightening sessions for healthiest results.
However, some colors such as our Darker Daze collection can be used on hair that is naturally a 7 or lighter. If this is you, try the following GDY shades:
Rock Lobster – Cherry Cola
Blue Ruin – Navy
PPL Eater – Eggplant
All In This Together – Deep Wine Red
Live Laugh Love – Warm Plum
Make it Happen – Blackcurrant
No. Good Dye Young is a direct dye, which means it doesn't require developer! Our colors are ready to use straight from the tube.
Some darker shades may slightly tint gray hair, but semi-permanent dye generally doesn't cover it. Gray hair is often coarser, so it doesn’t absorb color as easily as pre-lightened or non-gray hair.
This depends on the length, thickness and texture of your hair. The average hair length will most likely need 2 bottles of dye for their hair. If your hair is longer or thicker than average, you would then adjust accordingly.
Try these tips:
1. Skip shampoos and warm water! The more you wash your hair, the more your color will fade. When you do wash your hair, use a paraben & sulfate-free shampoo, like the color-protectig GDY Wash. Rinse with cool or cold water whenever you do shampoo.
2. Use conditioning treatments! You can use our Rinse Conditioner as a hair mask. Leave it in for 10-15 minutes and reap the benefits of Sunflower Oil which provides UVB protection.
3. Re-deposit color with DYEposit. This award-winning color-depositing mask is rich in coconut oil, shea butter and avocado oil for deep conditioning, while adding pigment back to your hair.
4. Try this hair hack! Put a few drops of your GDY color into your shampoo and conditioner and mix well. This will put pigment back into the hair anytime you shampoo and condition.
What to avoid:
- Washing your hair excessively
- Hot oil treatments
- Alcohol-based hair products such as hairspray, gel or mousse
- Washing hair with strong shampoos such as anti-dandruff, deep cleansing, clarifying and all-purpose varieties
- Prolonged exposure to salt water and harsh sunlight
- Chemicals in swimming pools
- Excessive heat styling
Apply GDY Semi-Perms to damp or dry hair. Leave GDY dye on for at least 30 minutes. You can leave the color on for up to one hour for more vibrant results.
Color fade varies from person to person, but in general, darker colors tend to last longer than lighter shades because they have a heavier pigment load. If well taken care of, GDY color can last between 16-24 washes.
After the first wash to remove the product, we recommend waiting as long as you can before the next wash. Generally 4-7 days is a safe time to wait. However, if you must wash more consistently, we suggest using cool or cold water to lock in color.
Bleeding is common for all semi-permanent colors because they are direct dyes. This means the color is staining your hair, rather than using developer to penetrate the cuticle like permanent colors. Our semi-permanent hair colors were created to give intense, long-lasting color and they are packed with salon-grade pigment.
Tips:
When rinsing your hair for the first time, shampoo and condition to remove any excess semi-perm.
Wash in cool water and wait as long as possible in between washes. Remember that frequent washing will strip the color.
When washing your hair, use a sulfate-free shampoo. The suds from typical shampoos will remove the color. Only use enough shampoo to clean your scalp. The shampoo from your scalp will rinse down and clean the rest of your hair.
Avoid contact with ocean water, chlorine, sea salt sprays, and water softeners as these can cause bleeding.
Semi-permanent hair colors can’t lighten hair, but they can shift your tone! That means you can still play with color without lightening if you are looking for a subtle, subdued, result. Here are some shades you can try depending on your current hair level:
If your hair is a natural level 4 or below, we do not recommend using our semi-perm as it will not show up in your hair.
If you're a natural level 5-7, try the following colors: Move Mountains, Make It Happen, Dream Big, All in This Together, Rock Lobster, Riot, Blue Ruin, or Rose Mocha.
If you're a natural level 7 or above, try any of the above or the following: Ex-Girl, Toxicity, Killswitch, PPL Eater, or Kowabunga.
Darker colors will take a longer time to fade and can leave behind a slight halo of tint during the removal process. The results of hair color removal and fading vary from person to person.
If you need to fade your color FAST, it’s always best to go to a professional. If this isn’t an option, you can purchase a color removing product and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Using warm water and a clarifying shampoo may also speed up the fading process.
You should always perform a strand test first to see how your hair will react, and to determine if will be achieve your desired color.
Directions:
1. Put plastic gloves on to protect your hands from the semi-perm.
2. Choose a small group of strands on the under layer of your hair that are easy to access, but will not be visible after the test. Make sure the strand is thick enough to see the results clearly.
3. Squeeze out one teaspoon of your preferred GDY shade, and apply it to the strand, saturating the strand completely.
4. Wrap aluminum foil around the saturated strand to protect it from bleeding into the rest of your hair.
5. Leave strand test on for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
6. Rinse well with cold water.
7. Check out the results!
1. Always perform a strand test and patch test before using hair dye.
2. Always wear a pair of protective gloves.
3. Use petroleum jelly or a thick conditioner around your hairline to prevent staining your skin. If staining occurs, try using a baking soda paste or rubbing alcohol to remove the stain.
4. Wear old clothes and use a towel that you don’t mind getting stained.
5. Place newspaper or towels around your work area to protect surfaces from staining.
6. Use mirrors both in front and behind you when applying GDY hair dye. If you are doing it yourself, this will help you not miss any spots!
7. While rinsing, GDY may stain the surfaces of your sink or bathtub. If this occurs, use a magic eraser or bleach for removal. Before rinsing, fill your tub with water and plug the drain to dilute the rinsed product with water and help prevent staining.
8. Always use cold water when rinsing out GDY semi-perm hair dye.
9. Try to avoid washing your hair with shampoo or conditioner for up to one week after.
We recommend using sulfate & paraben-free color-protecting formulas like our Color Kind shampoo and conditioner, Wash and Rinse.
Good Dye Young is a semi-permanent vegan hair color with no PPD, no peroxide, no ammonia and no other harmful ingredients. GDY is not tested on animals.

The best way to avoid bleeding is to wash your dye out in sections and use cool water! The cool water helps lock the color in. You might want to try to wash your hair in sections the first couple times just to ensure they don’t bleed on each other. As long as you’re using cool water, you should be good to go!
Good Dye Young hair color is PPD-free to minimize the risk of adverse reactions, but it’s still recommended you perform a patch test by using the following method:
1. Choose a small area of skin roughly the size of a penny for the test, preferably somewhere discreet such as the inner fold of your elbow.
2. Wash the test area with water and soap and pat dry with a clean towel.
3. Place a thin coating of your chosen GDY dye upon the test area. Allow the dye to dry and leave it undisturbed and uncovered for 2 to 3 hours.
4. Examine the test area for any signs of irritation. If there is a negative reaction, then the product should not be used by that person under any circumstances.

IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO ANY OF THESE, DO NOT USE WASH OR RINSE.
If you are unsure about any allergies, try performing a patch test by using the following method:
• Choose a small area of skin roughly the size of a penny for the test.
• Wash the test area with water and soap and dab dry with a clean towel.
• Place a thin coating of WASH or RINSE on the test area. Leave on test area for about an hour.
• Examine the test area for any signs of irritation. If there is a negative reaction, then the product should not be used by that person under any circumstances.
Safety Notes:
• Not for internal use, avoid ingestion. Keep out of the reach of small children.
• Avoid contact with eyes, and do not use GDY WASH or RINSE on face. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse out with cool water and contact a doctor.

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp! Pre Wash cleanses your scalp of product build-up, giving your hair follicle the proper nutrition it needs to grow healthy hair.

Investing in your hair color, means investing in products to prolong your beautiful hair! The leading cause of color fading comes from heat. Heat styling tools like blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons are harsh on color.
Prime is a color and heat protector that coats your hair cuticle to put a barrier of protection between your color and your heat source. This cuts down dry time, detangles, reduces frizz, and leaves your hair soft and shiny!
Use PRIME on dry hair, blow dry it in or let air dry before heat styling or spray it on natural hair for an extra boost of protection for your color.
Color Refresh
DYEposit is a 4-in-1 color-depositing mask! It cleanses, tones, hydrates, and contains a bond builder to repair damaged hair. Whether you’re blonde, brunette, copper, or red, we have a hue for you.
DYEposit is meant to be used on wet hair. If you’re looking for a product to use on dry hair, we suggest our semi-permanent dyes!
It depends on the results you’re looking for! For maintaining your vibrant color, there is no need to re-lighten your hair before applying. For unlightened hair, try picking a DYEposit shade that will work with your natural hair color If you have light brown hair, try Red or Chocolate! If you are a natural redhead, Copper or Red will look amazing!
For a bold new look, you can use DYEposit on freshly lightened hair. For the most vibrant and long-lasting results, we suggest trying a semi-permanent dye.
Apply to wet hair weekly or as needed. It’s best to comb it through for even distribution. Let sit for 5-10 minutes depending on desired intensity. Rinse until water runs clear.
Pro Tips:
– Use after shampooing in place of conditioner once a week. No need to condition after!
– Comb through with a comb or brush for even distribution.
– Squeeze excess water out of hair before applying.
– Rinse with cool water to lock in color.
DYEposit contains a lighter pigment load, for just a kiss of color! Semi-permanent colors will yield a longer and more vivid result due to a higher pigment concentration. DYEposit also contains a bonding agent called Fiberhance™! Fiberhance™ penetrates deep into the cortex to create new hydrogen and ionic bonds, which support the damaged internal keratin structure and restore strength to the hair.
After one use on natural hair, DYEposit will wash out in approximately 10-15 washes.
After one use on hair that has been recently lightened, DYEposit may last over 15 washes depending on which shade you choose.
With vivid hair, when you notice your hair starting to fade, it’s time for DYEposit! We suggest using DYEposit once or twice a week in place of conditioner. We don’t suggest using DYEposit more than two times a week.
Everyone’s hair and self care routine is different, so results may vary! For best results, remember to wash your hair in cool water and with color safe products.
Yes! If your hair lifts with yellow or gold tones, Platinum DYEposit will help to neutralize those, leaving you with a whiter, brighter base for your semi-perm dye! Pro tip: if your hair is SUPER yellow, put DYEposit on dry hair for a better result!
Coconut and Driftwood!
Fiberhance™ is a bonding agent that penetrates deep into the cortex to create new hydrogen and ionic bonds which support the damaged internal keratin structure and restore strength to the hair.
Platinum DYEposit is the perfect choice to enhance your gorgeous grays and tone out any brassiness or discoloration.
If you’re looking for a vibrant pop of color, it’s important to know that Gray hair can be stubborn about holding onto pigments in dyes. Since DYEposit contains a lighter pigment load, it may only contain enough pigment to add a tint to gray hair. Red DYEposit will look more pink, and our other shades will look more pastel. We do not suggest using Chocolate DYEposit for a natural brown shade. If you are looking for a natural color to cover your grays, we suggest chatting with a professional stylist about a permanent dye.

Hair Makeup
Yes! One Night Only is a great way to create a new look for natural or vivid hair. This hair makeup sits on top of your hair as opposed to penetrating the hair shaft, so it provides a vivid pop no matter what your base color is.
We do not recommend use of One Night Only or any GDY products on brows or lashes.
One Night Only should be used on dry hair for best results.
You can easily wash out One Night Only with shampoo.
One Night Only dries quickly in about 1-2 minutes. Start with a little bit of product so you can work into your hair before it dries. The formula is designed to be buildable so you can always touch up your look with more product as desired.
One Night Only will last in your hair until you wash it out.
You can use One Night Only either before or after styling hair, depending on the look you want to achieve.
No, One Night Only is a non-staining formula.
One Night Only is a temporary color but can leave a slight residue on skin. We recommend washing your hands immediately after use with soap and warm water to prevent any residual color.

1. Choose a small area of skin roughly the size of a penny for the test, preferably somewhere discreet such as the inner fold of your elbow.
2. Wash the test area with water and soap and pat dry with a clean towel.
3. Place a thin coating of your chosen GDY dye upon the test area. Allow the dye to dry and leave it undisturbed and uncovered for 2 to 3 hours.
4. Examine the test area for any signs of irritation. If there is a negative reaction, then the product should not be used by that person under any circumstances.
