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...

color bleeds but i find it worth it
i've been using the shade riot for about 3 years now. i looove how bright it is (i bleach my roots every few months) and how it doubles as a hair mask, which helps a lot after a bleach. now this product bleeds after every shower for like a week no matter how long you rinse, but i have dark towels and love the color and conditioning qualities too much to ever give it up. highly recommend if you're committed to colored hair
Did not like result
I was super excited to get Rock Lobster to do red dye on myself. It came out in a color I liked, however it made my hair feel very waxy afterwards, like I just put wax in it. I tried to do red highlights in my light brown hair but it just looked like I tried to dye my whole head and missed a lot of hair. That might be user error, but I don't think I would buy this again.
Amazing
I used Rock Lobster on my lighter brown hair for highlights and it came out this beautiful dark shade of red. Not to mention it came off my skin with barely any rubbing. I love the result. 10/10 would reccomend for even a little color.
New Baddie color does not stick!
Hair Type Straight Hair
I was so excited to use the new color baddie after using Ex Girl for years and I will be the first to say how much I love this brand but I am extremely disappointed in this color. After spend over $100 on bleach developer toner and the dye I am left with terrible looking hair.
Baddie color doesn't match the box at all!!
Hair Type Straight Hair
Once I took it out of the box, I realized that it was an extremely pale light pink. Didn't match the box at all. Don't buy the baddie pink. It didnt stick on my hair at all either!! Extremely disappointing.

- 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
- Q
I used this a couple years ago and it was great! But recently, I'm experiencing hair loss from anemia. Would using this on my hair be safe, since it's gentler than traditional dye?
- Asked by Kells
- Official Answer By Good Dye Young - Brand EngageWhile we do create our dyes with natural ingredients, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider before using any hair color if you're experiencing hair loss. You can reach out to us for specific product info, if they need any ingredient details.Was this answer helpful to you
