Directions Pre Colour Shampoo

Product Overview

 

Directions Pre Colour Shampoo is a clarifying / preparatory shampoo designed to cleanse hair and remove buildup before applying hair dye or semi‑permanent color. 

The idea is that by removing residues (silicones, oils, styling products, conditioners) and slightly “opening up” the hair cuticle, your color (especially semi-permanent or direct dyes) can deposit more evenly, penetrate better, and last longer. 

It is often used right before applying a dye from the Directions / La Riche colour range.

Why Choose This Product?

 

  • Prepping your hair properly before colouring can significantly improve colour uptake and longevity, especially with semi‑permanent or direct dyes.
  • Using a pre‑colour shampoo helps ensure the dye contacts hair fibers more directly (rather than being blocked by residual conditioners or oils).
  • Because it’s part of the Directions / La Riche line, it aligns well (formulation, philosophy, expected results) with their colour products.
  • The 250 ml size is manageable and practical for DIY hair colouring routines.

  4. Rinse CompletelyRinse hair thoroughly until water runs clear and no residuary foam remains.
