Create a rich, dramatic colour transformation with La Riche Directions Dark Tulip Hair Dye 88ml, a deep semi-permanent red-purple hair colour combining luxurious wine-red, burgundy and violet tones.

Dark Tulip is a darker twist on classic Tulip, delivering a sophisticated, intense shade with deep purple and red character. It is ideal for anyone looking for burgundy hair, plum hair, wine-red hair, dark red hair or red-purple hair without committing to permanent colour.

Part of the iconic Directions Hair Colour range, Dark Tulip is a direct semi-permanent colour with a conditioning cream base that deposits rich pigment while helping leave the hair feeling soft, smooth and manageable.

Because Dark Tulip is a deeper shade, it may create visible colour on a wider variety of starting bases than many brighter fashion colours. For the most vivid, colour-accurate result, however, apply to bleached, pre-lightened or light blonde hair.

The final result will vary depending on your starting hair colour, level of pre-lightening, hair porosity, condition and previous colour treatments.

Directions colours are fully intermixable, allowing Dark Tulip to be combined with compatible reds, pinks and purples to create personalised burgundy, berry, plum, magenta and wine-inspired shades.

Ideal for creative colour enthusiasts, alternative styles and anyone wanting a rich semi-permanent burgundy hair dye with striking red-violet depth.

• Elegant Wine-Red Shade: Delivers a deep, sophisticated wine-red tone enriched with pink and dark berry pigments. It performs with striking, true-to-swatch results on pre-lightened level 9–10 base blonde hair, and provides a subtle, classy burgundy shimmer on unbleached dark hair.
• Conditioning Cream Emulsion: Built into a soft, emollient conditioning cream base that intensely nourishes hair fibers from the first application, smoothing out rough cuticles to leave your hair bright, shiny, and frizz-free.
• Zero Hair Damage: Formulated entirely without harsh developer chemicals, which means the formula coats the hair shaft externally without altering or breaking down the hair's natural internal bonds.
• Bespoke Shade Customisation: It blends beautifully with other reds, purples, or clear diluters to design unique gothic or alternative shadow gradients
• Clean & Ethical Profile: 100% Vegan-friendly and cruelty-free (PETA approved). The conditioning tint is completely free from ammonia, peroxide, and paraphenylene-diamine (PPD).

Maintaining Dark Tulip Hair

To help maintain your burgundy-red colour:

• Avoid washing more frequently than necessary
• Use cooler water where practical
• Choose shampoo designed for colour-treated hair
• Use conditioner suitable for coloured hair
• Limit harsh clarifying shampoos
• Reduce excessive heat styling
• Protect coloured hair from prolonged strong sunlight
• Refresh the colour when required

Semi-permanent colour naturally fades with repeated washing.

Directions does not guarantee a specific number of washes because longevity varies depending on the individual hair and aftercare routine.

For external hair colouring use only. Do NOT dye eyelashes or eyebrows. If direct eye contact occurs, do not rub; flush immediately and thoroughly with clean, cool water.

Not recommended or suitable for children under 14 years of age. Keep the tub securely capped and out of reach of young children.
