Narwhals are my favorite animal. There are no cute videos of them on instagram and in fact, many people still they don’t realize they actually exist! To me, this shade is more mysterious than your typical, oceanic blue. It’s a little darker – not necessarily in color tone but in attitude.
Narwhals are strange and striking creatures but they’re magical too. When you wear this shade, I hope you’ll feel magical and mythical too… but you know, please also believe in yourself. – 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.

I read the reviews before buying this dye and saw even after 4 weeks people experienced the dye not fading. I didn’t believe it, but it’s true. 4 weeks later and my hair, although it was a very bright blue when I dyed it, has faded to the shade of blue on the box, but it hasn’t started fading back to my natural blonde. I love the color and this brand, but as someone who has issues with committing to one hair color, it is tough. I’m not sure if I should dye it a dark brown to cover it, or a black, I’m worried it won’t cover all of the blue. If anyone can give tips that’d be great. Overall I do love this color and dye, I just wish I could commit to it

I wish I read the reviews before jumping into this color. My hair is sooo blue, like dark/bright blue not like the pics. I left it on for a while to make sure it would stick, but after I globbed it on I knew it was too late to back out without messing up all the pink I have too. Super disappointed in the color being sooo incredibly dark and no where near what I saw, but it really does stick and so far not much bleeding. So that’s a plus. Just bummed that I worked really hard for light blonde hair and now I’m stuck with this dark blue instead of teal.

Thank you for your review on Narwhal! I’m sorry that it didn’t turn out quite like how you were expecting. However, each time you wash your hair the Narwhal will get brighter and brighter! If you would like to discuss further, please email us at hey@gooddyeyoung.com!

I’m completely gutted at the formula change. Everything I loved about this dye was changed. It used to be that it didn’t stain anything, not my skin, not the shower, not the towel, not my pillow. But now it’s everywhere, the hair dye remover I have can’t even scrape the surface of how blue my skin is (my entire body), and my poor shower will never be unblue again. It’s not even the same color as before, so what’s the point? I used to recommend this brand to everyone because it didn’t stain, it lasted long, it smelled nice. Now I don’t think even I can use it at all anymore.
Becca Sievers –
Hey Lily! We are so sorry you had a poor experience using GDY. Our dyes are heavily pigmented to ensure long lasting results! The bleeding of the dye should stop after a couple of washes. We would love to discuss your experience more! Please email us at hey@gooddyeyoung.com!

Okay so I dyed my hair back in January 2019 it’s now June and my hair is still blue…like bright a** blue like the model and i have not touched it up ONCE. For some this might be awesome but for someone who wants to change hair color often this is not the dye for me lol.
When I dyed it SIX MONTHS AGO I left it on for forty five minutes and to my disappointment it ended being a very dark like inky teal/blue. I had bleached pale blonde hair. The dye is very thick and hard to work with (at least for me since I dyed it myself). But a little goes a long way if u can work it. It also bled a LOT had to scrub the shower multiple times.
So I gave it 4/5 because my Gemini self hates committing to one color for more than a month and I don’t wanna damage it more by bleaching it out again (btw I’ve tried fading it with vitamin c, clarifying shampoo, hot water, dish detergent, etc. and nothing works! This blue is here to stay whether I want it to or not). I recommend u dilute it with fader or conditioner the first time if u want the bright blue the model has. It was very misleading especially since the description claims the result will be lighter than the dye looks in the tube. I used it straight from the tube and it looked as dark when my hair dried. Just now, six months later is it looking like the website picture.

Hello! Thank you for your review on Narwhal. We’re sorry you didn’t love the product! We put heavy pigment in our dyes to ensure they will last as long as possible.

I really, really wanted to love this dye. I certainly love the things this brand stands for, and it has GREAT reviews, so when I bought this dye I was expecting terrific results. However, my hair just isn’t it, chief. I used it to dye the ends of my hair and it came out WAY duller than I was expecting it to, it kind of looks faded already except I JUST DYED IT. However, I didn’t lighten my hair (except the underside where it was darker) because my hairdresser said that my medium blonde hair was already light enough. Could this be the reason that I am not loving the shade that my hair is?
Becca Sievers –
Hi! Thank you for your review on Narwhal. To get the most vibrant results, we always suggest pre-lightening the hair. Lightening causes the hair cuticle to open, therefore giving the semi-permanent dye a better base to stick to. I would love to talk more about your hair, please email me at hey@gooddyeyoung.com!

The colour started off much more blue than i had expected (similar to blue ruin) but it held beautifully. As it faded it became more narwhal/teal, but i liked having so many different tones over the three months i had it in- really made the dye worth while. It didn’t damage or stain my hair at all, by far the best dye i’ve ever purchased :))

BEST DYE EVER THANK YOU GDY ps Hayley i’ve Loved you since like 2006 and when you came out with GDY I almost dyed, dream come true. Thank you!!!

Love the narwhal hair color. Looks great paired with exgirl. (Just sayin)
First time trying this color. It brought me back to the first time I dyed my hair, about 7 years ago. I picked a teal color. And I loved it. And after trying many other hair dye brands. I keep coming back to Gdy. Because it’s just pure great quality products. Even the fade of narwhal is wonderful!
Much love! Thank you GDY family.

Hi Ryan!
We love the Narwhal and Ex-Girl combo too! Thank you for choosing GDY!

I’m in love! Would absolutely give six stars if I could. There’s nothing not to love about this dye. I suffer from awful migraines and scent sensitivity and the smell of this dye actually made me feel better! It’s very light and refreshing. Citrusy but kind of earthy too. The dye is ridiculously pigmented and easy to work with. It said in the instructions to get wild and just have fun with it, and I so did! I’ve been dealing with severe depression for as long as I can remember but working with this dye, and seeing my hair right now, I can’t stop smiling and I feel amazing. Like a gorgeous, powerful Nereid (or maybe like a Narwhal). Good Dye Young is my new favorite dye and I absolutely want to try the rest of the semipermanent line, the Poser Paste and the hair care line.

A great long lasting color! I dyed my hair over a month ago and I haven’t had to touch it up at all it’s great! It’s barely faded at all, and it didn’t fade to a super green color as these kinds of colors often do in other brands. My only probablem was how much it bled the first two weeks, but as long as I put a towel on my pillow and cleaned up the blue out of the shower it was ok!
Hallie from GDY –
Hello!
We are SO happy you haven’t had to touch up your hair since dyeing! Our more blue-based colors do tend to bleed a bit more than the others but you can minimize this a bit by washing in cool or cold water and using color-safe shampoo and conditioner (like our Wash and Rinse)!
xx dye happy,
