Step 1: To create the best blank canvas for your color, we recommend that you first, lighten your hair with our easy-to-use GDY Lightening Kit. This is because our semi-permanent dye shows up best on level 9 or 10 light blonde hair. You can use DYEposit in Platinum to pre-tone the hair to remove any yellow tones.
Step 2: Squeeze your color into the GDY Biodegradable Tool Kit. Remember: wear gloves to prevent staining on your hands.
Step 3: Do a strand test on a piece of hair in the lower back portion of your head before applying the color all over your hair to ensure you love the look!
Step 4: Divide your hair into 4 equal sections and apply dye directly onto dry hair. Make sure the color is fully saturated throughout each section by applying a dollop of color for every two inch portion of your hair. Gently emulsify/massage into the hair to ensure coverage.
Step 5: Let the color sit on your hair for at least 30 minutes.
Step 6: Rinse very well with cool water only. If desired, use Color Kind Wash and Rinse to remove any residual dye. Shampoo and conditioner are not required, however.
Step 7: Style your freshly dyed locks just the way you like.

Please bring more GDY to Ulta!
I absolutely adore Good Dye Young and it's my go to for colorful hair. I just wish more shades were available along with the hair care products (I love the scrub)! I must say though if you're having issues with longevity then I would recommend looking into hair care tips for direct semi permanent dy...

Inconsistent Application | Out in 1 Wash
Envious of the reviewer who said theirs wouldn't wash out - mine did after 1 wash (Matrix color safe shampoo) T_T after also applying unevenly on my hair (waited required duration - 35 - 40 mins) ✊ the uneven part wasn't too big of a deal - looked cute it if would have stayed put, albeit weird since...

Pink is brighter than I thought
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I got the Exgirl color pink because I wanted to try out something easy but eye catching and honestly assumed it wouldn't be as neon as the packaging. My hair is naturally brown but already lightened to blonde so I just did an inch of pink to test a little dip dye look and my hair is GLOWING PINK. I don't know what they put in this stuff but it's crazy bright. Washed three times so far and it's still going strong.
Good product
Hair Type Straight Hair
This dye was easy to apply and the color turned out well. I like to repeat applications so the color gets darker each time. The instructions were easy to follow but you had to cut open the box because they were printed on the other side.
Pink Puff
I bought this product on a whim! I've been dying to go back to pink, but need to keep it subtle for work. I had highlights from a previous salon trip about a year ago, so I just put it over those all-over highlights. The color is exactly what I was looking for, it's hard to find a true pale/light pink, most pinks are either bright or rose gold, but this is a true soft pink shade. I put it on my dry hair, left on for 30 minutes, and washed it out. It left my hair super soft, but next time, I'm going to leave it in longer for a more vibrant transformation. If you have thick hair (like I do), buy 2. It also says "no shampoo required," to remove the dye after the 30 minutes, but I always shampoo my hair when coloring it. Also, make sure to have gloves on hand, this product does not include gloves, which was my only complaint. I also read other reviews about the color bleeding after application, but I haven't had that issue.
Mperfect for cherry cola hair
I really wanted to try something bolder so I looked up a color for a cherry cola look that wasn't too red and when I went there Ulta didn't have it so I got this instead because i didn't want to wait. So so happy I got this, even without using bleach I think it looks really good over my light brown hair and gave me a great shine and wash of red. I did it a month ago and you can still see the red so I would say it lasts pretty good too.
good colors, mostly
I like the pinks and the oranges, those have been amazing! However the teal, Narwhal, isn't even close to the color advertised! I had to do some digging and managed to find a TikTok of them swatching the colors because I thought I got a bad batch, it came out way too dark! Definitely not what I wanted

- Q
Do these need developer ? Its my first time purchasing this product. ): i dont see anything about developer being needed
- Asked by Angel
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThanks for reaching out. Our semi-permanent colors do not need to be mixed with a developer. You can use the color straight from the tube. You may seal the unused portion and use it later. The product will last up to 12 months after opening. For best results, we do recommend you pre-lighten your hair. In general, virgin hair (hair that has never been pre-lightened or dyed with developer-based color) is the strongest and least porous hair and therefore, will most likely need to be pre-lightened before you choose to dye it with a semi-permanent brand. We understand pre-lightening is not the path for everyone for many different reasons. If you have dark hair, here are some colors that may work for you. Ex-Girl, All In This Together, Rock Lobster, PPL Eater, Dream BigWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will the Blue show up my dark hair?
- Asked by Denim Queen
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThanks for reaching out. While our blue semi-perms tend to be very pigmented shades, results depend on your starting level and hair health. Good Dye Young Semi-Permanent color does not use any harsh chemicals like hydrogen peroxide or ammonia to change your hair color. It acts as a stain, taking the scariness and damage out of dying your hair. In general you can expect the following results from our blue dyes. Blue Ruin: can be applied to levels 5 through 10. On levels 5-7, Blue Ruin will appear as a dark blue that's more visible in the sunlight. This is our most pigmented blue. Dream Big: can be applied to levels 3 through 8. On levels 3-7, Dream Big will darken hair, and add a slight blue tint.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will it cover grey?
- Asked by MizzDomina
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThanks for reaching out. Some semi-perm our colors may add a tint to grey hair, but for the most part semi-permanent dye does not cover grey hair because cuticles tend to be closed. Semi-permanent dye molecules are larger and will sit on the outer portion of the cuticle if not pre-lightened, resulting in a less vibrant color. The farther the dye is pushed into the cuticle, the more vibrancy and longevity it will have. Pre-Lightening natural or virgin hair before a Good Dye Young application allows the cuticle to open so the dye molecules soak into the hair better. We understand that pre-lightening might not be your preference. If that’s the case, we recommend colors like Ex-Girl, Narwhal, PPL Eater, Dream Big, and All In This Together on your virgin grey hair for a less-vibrant final result.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How many bottles would I need for my full head?
- Asked by gabby
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageHi! If you plan on dyeing your full head, the number of tubes you'll need 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.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How would I take care of it on my hair I have very curly hair and I still want to know if I can use it on my hair without causing any bad damage.
- Asked by emmy
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageGood Dye Young Semi-Permanent color does not use any harsh chemicals like hydrogen peroxide or ammonia to change your hair color. It acts as a stain, taking the scariness and damage out of dying your hair. Our semi-permanent color is safe for your curls. We do have recommended starting levels for each shade, so you can find a shade that can work over your current level. If you are considering lightening your hair, some lightening products can dry out your hair depending on the hair's health when you start the lightening process. Our Lightening Kit it formulated with conditioning ingredients like Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil, and Soy Protein that help keep hair feeling soft, strong, and nourished. To maintain your vibrant color, re-apply the color every 10-20 washes, and use cool water and heat protection for the most vibrant results.Was this answer helpful to you
