Directions Hair Colour - Violet 88ml Pot by La Riche

Excited to have received the product, hoping it will cover my thick hair I got 2 containers..one of them came busted though

I couldn't find a US brand that had the purple color I wanted so I investigated La Riche Directions. I ordered the colors Lagoon Blue and Violet (Lagoon Blue from another seller) and Violet came earlier than expected! I dyed one half of my head Lagoon Blue and one half Violet. I left the color in for about 45 minutes total, a bit longer on the Lagoon Blue side because I covered that side first. After rinsing out the dye I dried it with a white towel and there was no color bleeding!! I was very impressed by that. There was no strong chemical smell, no itchiness or discomfort. My hair was very blonde on top and darker near the bottom, and as expected it was very vibrant on top and less so near the bottom. One observation I do have is Lagoon Blue looks more like La Riche's "Turquoise" dye and Violet looks more like their "Tulip" dye. This doesn't bother me but if you want a cooler purple color you may have to mix it with a blue color. It will stain your hands unless you wash them immediately after touching. There was no color stain in my bathtub with these colors after rinsing. So far there has been no color residue on my pillowcase either. I will update after the first wash. Overall my hair feels great and looks better!!! UPDATE: Several washes later and the color is still going strong! There is still no color residue in my bathtub, on my towels, or my pillowcase.

Not a very bright color. It's more of a toner because it leaves my hair silver and only with a tiny hue of purple. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Directions hair bye, but this particular shade isn't the best.

I purchased the Violet color. I don't use it to color my hair violet, but I add a little to my conditioner a couple of times a week to help tone down brassy color in my blonde hair. I have been using this for years and just realized 2 containers lasted me 4 years. Love this product!

ONLY WORKS ON NEWLY BLEACHED HAIR that is pore opened by peroxide.

I have colored my hair a lot of different shades of purple but this, by far is my favorite. The jar is small though, my hair is chin length but thick and I needed two jars for full coverage.I've had it for two weeks now and I tend to shower daily and this color still looks just as fresh as the day I colored it!Definitely will buy again!

I really like this a lot. I was using Manic Panic but it didn't last very long. Directions lasts twice as long before it begins to fade. It also fades to blue (Manic fades to pink). I just wish it was a bit more vibrant like the Manic purple

Doesn't bleed, fade or stick to skin. Highly recommend, though I am using a dark purple maybe is why it's nice, but even when I washed out the hair color when I dyed it it barley bled, so it really stuck to my hair and easily came off my neck. It's been 2 weeks and hasn't faded, but I am excited for when it does because it will be a nice lavender

the color at first was very beautiful and strong but after three weeks it was completely washed out and only some blue/greenish streaks were left in my hair... not very happy

I have long hair,and plenty of grey!This product is just amazing Ive had so many compliments from people that o dont even know!

Hab die Farbe mit Spülung gemischt damit sie heller wird! Super Farbe. Bin wie immer sehr zufrieden mit Directions.Zuvor hatte ich hell blondierte gelbe/orange Haare. Die Haare müssen, falls sie dunkler als mittelblond sind, unbedingt blondiert werden um ein einheitliches farbtreues Ergebnis zu erzielen.Bei mir hält die Farbe auch ca. 2 Monate, wobei sie sich nach jeder Haarwäsche etwas rauswäscht was bei semi permanenter Haarfarbe aber normal ist.

Ich habe es auf eher dunklen blondierten Haaren angewandt und es hat ungefähr zwei auf den Haaren gehalten, danach war nur noch ein lilaner und grüner Stich zu erkennen, den ich nicht mehr so leicht wegbekomme.

ansich ist die Farbe toll, wird aber auf blondiertem Haar leider kein dunkles lila sondern eher pastell lila. schade, nicht das was ich wollte aber vielleicht habe ich mal lust auf pastell :-)
