Product Information

Understanding the ins-and-outs of hair colour can get a little overwhelming. But with the tips above and our helpful colour shading guide at your disposal, you’ll have everything you need to make the right decisions, get the best from your new shade and keep those shimmering strands healthy. Please note that Royal Mail currently classes perfumes, nail polishes, flammable liquids and aerosols as "hazardous materials" and will only accept a limited number of these per parcel. After 20 minutes under the dryer Louisa washes out the colour – then adds a vegetable dye, which actually smells of apricots, for extra shine and vibrancy.

Jo Hansford is known as the queen of colour – clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Liz Hurley and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall – so I was confident I’d be in safe hands at her Mayfair salon. Optionally, if you'd like to avoid dye stains around the hairline apply a Vasaline or a small amount of baby oil, but don't let this get in your hair! We're proud to announce that our mailing bags are made from recycled polythene and are also recyclable, and our bubble wrap is made from recycled plastic and is completely recyclable.For the best and brightest results ensure you bleach your hair to at least level 9 or 10 (Nearly White) before applying any dye. This is super important if you have naturally dark hair. For extra vibrancy, our White Toner removes those yellowish strands that bleaching can leave behind. If you want to go darker and infuse your hair with deep mysterious tones, we recommend taking it one shade at a time — and always asking a professional before making any dramatic leaps from light to dark. At this range, we would highly recommend using our Lightening Kit or visiting a professional salon to get the best possible base for amazing results. Darker shades may give a sheen of colour to darker hair but we recommend pre-lightening for the best results. At this mid-range, it is still possible to achieve an all-over colour change without lightening your hair further. However, the range of colours for which this is possible is restricted to our darker colours, such as:

Even if you bleach your hair first, leftover yellow tones can affect your results — blue is one to watch especially, as it can mix with the yellows and turn green. Our Lightening Kit and White Toner are just the things for turning your hair into a perfect canvas for new colours. However, always seek professional salon advice if you’re not absolutely certain. We’ve provided our own colour chart guide below that you can use to get a grasp on your current shade. As you can see, this is done on a scale of 1 to 10; 10 representing the lightest possible shades, and 1 the darker end of the scale. It is important to apply the dye to clean (shampooed but not conditioned) dry hair, if you're hair is wet, dirty or contains any products with chemicals prior to application, it may cause a bad result! Clean your hair, without heavy chemicals. The lighter your current shade, the brighter our hair colour will shine. At this range, your hair will be more welcoming of a broader selection of colours.

Apricot

The colours displayed are simulations. We try to represent the Apricot colour as accurately as possible. The results will vary depending on your hair colour, hair type, the process and the products used before dying. Directions Hair Dye doesn't have specific longevity on the hair. Do not mix with peroxide. To Achieve lighter shades than your currently colour, we recommend seeking professional advice. Always do a skin patch test and strand test first.

Now that you know what goes into getting apricot hair, it’s time to actually, you know, color your hair! There are two ways you can go about this. You can visit a professional colorist or you can DIY it. Since apricot hair is very unique and features a variety of different tones within it, it’s a good idea to visit a pro who can skillfully blend your custom hue for a look that flatters you. A pro can help guide you from start to finish through the process of coloring your hair apricot, which is especially important if you’re making a dramatic change (such as going from very dark brown to apricot). How to Take Care of Apricot Hair Directions produce brilliant dyes, but in some rare cases it can go horribly wrong if the dye is not applied correctly! We've found our customers have the best results with these dyes when they apply the following procedure: Apply the dye using a tint brush, Comb gently into your hair until it becomes frothy, and ensure all the hair you wish to cover is fully saturated.

Time to shine

This is because Directions’ vibrant range works best on hair that is a 9 or 10 on the colour shade scale. As a general rule, the lighter your hair’s shade, the more likely the colour you apply will be as bright and vivid as you intend it to be, particularly for lighter/softer colours. id": "https://www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/hair-color/hair-color-tutorials/how-to-get-apricot-hair",
