Dark Tulip is part of the Semi and Demi range and does exactly what you expect: intenSise colour without damaging your hair. Here are the features you’ll notice every day:

• Dark purple-red tint, intense on bleached hair
• No ammonia or developer needed
• Cream texture for easy, even application
• Hair feels softer and easier to comb after use
• Colour lasts around three to four weeks
• Mixable with other Directions colours for your own shade
• Not tested on animals
• Content: 88 ml

1. Make sure your hair is clean and towel-dry. Don’t use conditioner beforehand as it closes the cuticles and colour won’t absorb as well.
2. Protect your skin with Vaseline or an old towel around your hairline. Dark Tulip stains skin and fabrics strongly.
3. Work the dye thoroughly from root to tip. The thick cream stays in place well, perfect for dip-dye or ombré effects.
4. Leave the dye in for fifteen to thirty minutes. The longer you wait, the more intense the colour gets.
5. Rinse well with cold water until the water runs clear. Cold water helps the colour last longer.
6. Don’t use conditioner afterwards as that can make the colour fade faster.

Want a brighter, pinker-red tint? Mix Dark Tulip with Directions Semi-PerManent Cerise Color - 88ml. Cerise is a vivid fuchSisia red that lightens and warms up the dark berry tint of Dark Tulip. A popular mix is two parts Dark Tulip to one part Cerise.

The dye is actually a nourishing cream with direct colour pigments inside. These pigments layer on the outside of your hair without affecting the hair structure. That’s exactly why you don’t need hydrogen peroxide. The conditioning baSisis made with ceTearyl alcohol ensures your hair feels softer and less tangled after dyeing. On bleached hair, the cuticles are more open, allowing pigments to penetrate deeper for a richer, fuller colour. If you’re trying directions hair dye for the first time, this is one of the easiest Maniers for vibrant colour at home. The La Riche Directions line has been a trusted choice for years.

On average three to four weeks, depending on how often you wash your hair and how porous it is. Washing daily fades the colour faster. Using colour-safe shampoo and washing with lukewarm or cold water will extend the colour noticeably. After fading, a soft purple-pink glow can remain, especially on bleached hair.

On untreated dark hair, the result is minimal. You may see only a subtle purple-red glow in sunlight, with no real colour change. For visible results, you need light blonde or lightened hair. On dark blonde hair, you’ll get a dark, cool glow instead of intense purple-red. Want vibrant colour? Bleaching or lightening is the step you need.

Yes, Dark Tulip stains strongly, especially in the first weeks. Use a dark towel after washing and an old pillowcase on your pillow. After a few washes, the staining lessens. This is normal with dark, purple-red semi-perManent colours and doesn’t say anything about the dye’s quality.

If you want to buy La Riche Directions Dark Tulip for a deep, dark berry look on bleached hair, this is an excellent choice. The price per ml is lower than brands like Manic Panic or Arctic Fox, and the colours mix well. Want a fuller purple without red undertone? Check out Directions Semi-PerManent Plum Color - 88ml. Prefer a brighter, warmer red? Directions Semi-PerManent Rose Red Color - 88ml is better. Dark Tulip sits right between those two: dark, cool, and intense.
