From day one, Brian and I listed Clementine from the movie Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind as an inspiration for some of our shades. When her character is first introduced, she talks mostly of her hair, which is dyed – rather unevenly, haha – a bold blue… “It’s called ‘Blue Ruin’. Snappy name right?” – Hayley
HOW TO APPLY
1. To create the best canvas for your color, we recommend lightening your hair. Use our Lightening Kit and follow the directions to achieve the correct foundation for your color.
2. Mix color in the GDY Color Mixing Bowl and use the GDY gloves to prevent staining hands. (see GDY Tool Kit)
3. Do a strand test to insure color is as desired.
4. Section out dry hair and apply the color. Make sure color is fully saturated at every step.
5. Let the color sit for at least 30 minutes – the longer you let it sit, the more vibrant the color.
6. Rinse with cold water, gently dry your hair and style as desired.
COLORING TIPS
- Apply shea butter, coconut oil or thick conditioner to the hairline to prevent staining.
- While color is processing, use a cap to keep the color damp.
- Product will stain, so protect all surfaces and clothing.
- Rinse with our Fader to minimize bleeding of the color.
- Allow at least 24 hours before your first shampoo.
COLOR CARE TIPS
- The more you wash your hair, the more your color will fade. Rinse with cool water when you do shampoo…as cold as you can stand if you’re up for it!
- Use Conditioning treatments! You can actually use our Fader as a hair mask! Leave it in for 10-15 minutes for softer hair.
- Save leftover dye to touch ups roots when they come in. Simply seal up your unused portion and store in a cool, dry place. The product will last up to 12 months after opened.
- Add a few drops of your GDY Dye into your shampoo and/or conditioner to keep the color bright.

THE BEST! Blue ruin has such a beautiful and bright pigment and smells so good! I get compliments on my hair color all the time! I found that maybe $18 for the tube is a bit much, but the product does last a long while since you only need so much to get to the desired color you want. The color fades well and last me weeks before ever having to touch it up. I also used the lightening kit that I bought from Sally’s and it worked great, but since I have pretty long hair I needed more than one kit. I will definitely only be using this brand for hair dyes. Also, I love that the products are vegan and cruelty free! ily GDY 💙

I know it says the color lasts 4-6 weeks , but for me personally it lastes MONTHS! and i wash my hair very frecuently so i was So impressed. I bought this color twice and is the best dye i ever used.
P.S: i think the fluid ounces changed because now i can use only 1 box of dye for all of my hair!

This dye is fantastic! I mixed it with half a tube of PPL Eater to get a rich indigo color. It’s held up extremely well! It’s been over a month since I dyed my hair and the color has only faded a bit. It has bled onto my clothes, however it comes off in the washer so it hasn’t stained anything. Though it does bleed quite a bit. Other than that, this dye is amazing and I will definitely repurchase it in the future!

Blue ruin is THE dye for me. I LOVE how blue it is and how it always lasts soo long. So I am so glad for that. I’ve been using Blue Ruin since the end of 2016. Having blue hair makes me feel soo confident. I love how it fades to a beautiful aqua then a nice green. I will continue to dye my hair with GDY. I recently ordered some more Blue Ruin and a box of PPL Eater. So at some point I will try out PPL Eater. P.S. I LOOOVE how it smells. ♡♡

This blue dye is great!!! I’ve had it in my hair for about 2 months and although it has faded, it’s faded SO WELL! I went to my moms the other day and she just said “your hair is REALLY still THAT blue” it’s the magic of GDY, mom 💁♀️ 10/10 recommend this to EVERYONE!!!!

I have no words for this product. I used to use Arctic Fox but it kept fading too quickly and then I found this and my mind is blown! I had a very washed out blue to start and now I’m a vibrant dark blue and I LOVE it!! I bought the hair care as well and just using the prewash, shampoo and conditioner just today I noticed an amazing change in my hair. Best of all? The color is STILL there! It hardly faded (if it did) whereas my first wash with other brands would practically fade to pastel almost.
Finding this brand has been a godsend!! I get so many compliments at work with it and though it does stain I can deal with that because I am absolutely in love! Finally, I found vegan hair colors and hair care that works and smells absolutely wonderful!! I’m so pleased and shall go “dye happy” now!♡♡

Hi, hello!!! I bought this color around January and I only used less than half the bottle bc only half of my hair was “dye-able” but anyways I still have some bc I’ve only touched up once!! The color is still strong and beautiful!!! And when it fades it’s a cool green-blue and at work (I’m a cashier at a grocery store) I am constantly getting complimented by customers with the fresh and fading versions!! I recommend you guys to EVERY customer!! Anyways thanks for being the first hair dye brand to not suffocate me!!! 🥰
Hallie from GDY –

Amazing vibrant and long lasting blue! I’ve had it this color for a month with minimal fading. Smells amazing and made my hair softer! 🙂
My only criticism is that I warn users that the dye color is more of a deep royal blue when dyed on white/platinum blonde. To get the color advertised on both models pictured above you need to add a large amount of fader.

Hey!
We are so happy your hair is very vibrant and has lasted for a long time! You are correct in that our Blue Ruin is more of a deep blue but the more you wash your hair (especially in hot water), the more your hair will fade to a lighter blue! If there’s anything else we can help you with, please let us know!
xx dye happy,

A wonderful blue that last long and fades well! Smells great too!
Hallie from GDY –
Hello!
We agree that Blue Ruin is a wonderful blue and we’re so happy that you love it too! That great smell comes from Bergamot essential oil which helps to condition hair and also helps to alleviate stress.
If there’s anything else we can help you out with, please let us know!
xx dye happy,
