- 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.

Hi! I have dirty blond hair and wanted to know how long it will take for PPL eater to fade completely, what colors it might fade too, and if it will bleed on my clothes and / or other fabrics?
- Asked by O-Quary
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThanks for reaching out. The results depend on a few factors, including hair porosity and your exact starting level. PPL Eater will be most vivid and truest to the shade model on levels 7-10. Dirty blond hair would typically fall under a level 6 to 7, and would result in a purple tint. Our dyes are formulated to last up to 24 washes. To avoid color bleed, we recommend rinsing with cool water to help lock the color in.Was this answer helpful to you

Hello! I have virgin blonde hair and was wanting to do some pink highlights for the summer. Is this semi-permanent hair dye easy to come out? I don't want it to be stuck in my hair forever.
- Asked by Ava
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageGood Dye Young's semi-permanent colors are made with salon-grade pigments, and will last for 16-24 washes. Some of our more pigmented shades, like Ex-Girl, may leave behind a slight halo of tint beyond 24 washes. The results of hair color removal and fading vary from person to person. Pink Puff is our pastel pink, and may leave a slight color payoff on your natural blonde hair, but will have the fastest fade out for you. If you need to fade your color FAST, you can try these helpful tips: Use clarifying shampoos. Scrub your hair in hot water for best results! Vitamin C treatments: mix vitamin C powder with your shampoo, apply to damp hair, let sit under heat for around 20-30 minutes, and rinse. This should start stripping color out of the hair without opening the cuticle.Was this answer helpful to you

I have dirty blonde hair with highlights and got the color "Blue Ruin". How long should this last on my hair?
- Asked by Parker
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThanks for reaching out. You can expect to have vibrant results for 16-24 washes with the shade Blue Ruin. Vibrant hair color will show up best on pre-lightened hair, si you will see more color payoff on the highlighted strands of hair. If your natural hair is dirty blonde, your base most likely has orange-y undertones, and Blue Ruin will be a dusty dark blue on those areas. Blue dye molecules typically penetrate the cuticle and last, so you may not see the color fade out fully.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
after the color has washed out will my hair still be stained at all or will my hair go back to my natural color?
- Asked by charlotte
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageThanks for asking! Semi-Permanent hair dye is designed to fade out over time. It's made up of pigments that primarily sit on the hair cuticle, and don't penetrate the hair shaft. There are a lot of factors that will play into how long the color will last in your hair. Porous hair may hold onto color longer than non-porous hair. Darker shades with more pigment may take longer to fully fade. If you pre-lighten your hair, you are opening up the cuticle, allowing the color to hold on longer. If you wish to fade a color faster, you can wash your hair more frequently in warm/hot water with a clarifying shampoo.Was this answer helpful to you

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)!

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...

I used Riot orange and Ex-Girl pink over faded pink pastel, and not only did it cover and look just like the box, but it has lasted for over 2 months! Just now starting to fade, and still looks so good. Loved how the colors blended.
Love love love!

Big Fan! I've tried 3 colors so far and I don't intend to stop there! You have to do thinking about order, lol, since obviously you aren't going to be able to color the gray over the orange but so far the progressions have been really cool. Gravedigger was my fave so far but I want to run the full gambit.
Good til you wash it
Its so vibrant and i love the color. However, after a single wash it washed out and was already faded. I use color safe products and cool to lukewarm water like i always have. Ive had green hair for almost 2 years now and prior colors for over 5 years. Ive never had dye rinse out the way this one does.
Kowabunga is the best green, hands down
I've been using Kowabunga mixed with a bit of black from another brand to make my custom dark pine green for close to two years. it's by far the best green I've ever used - yellow based so it doesn't fade blue, extremely pigmented, and fades on tone. It gives me even coverage root to tip, unlike other brands where I have issues with colors taking evenly on freshly bleached roots even if they're properly lifted. Color bleed is minimal after the first wash and I get very little skin and scalp staining. It applies easily thanks to the slight gel texture of the color so it's not overly thick as you try to work it into your hair. I do wish they came in larger tube sizes though!
