Still Not Sure? We've Got You.

Colour payoff depends entirely on your starting shade. Our semi-permanent dyes are conditioning colour, not bleach-in-a-tub: they deposit pigment, they don't lift it, so make sure you have the appropriate hair lightness to achieve the colour you want (refer to the colour charts in our product listings).

The same semi-permanent colour will look darker on darker hair bases and show up most vibrant on pre-lightened hair bases. If you're looking for a vibrant, true-to-colour result, or a pastel or ash tone, you'll need to bleach your hair first with Butter Bleach.

Alternatively, if you have a black or very dark brown hair base, try our No-Bleach Lifting Colour to lighten your hair and deposit colour at the same time.

If you already have visibly brown hair and want a subtle colour, you may be able to try a bunch of our semi-permanent dyes, so check the colour chart!

Qwerky's philosophy is to help you achieve your dream hair with as little damage as possible. All our products are formulated with nourishing ingredients to keep your hair healthy and coloured. Our best-selling semi-permanent dyes are ammonia-free, PPD-free, and formulated to condition while depositing colour.

However, while we've worked hard to make products like Butter Bleach and No-Bleach Lifting Colour as gentle as possible, since they involve opening the hair cuticle, your hair may be slightly drier than before. Always follow up with our Semi-Permanent Dyes to touch up your hair colour, and Suck It Up Mask and What The Frizz Hair Serum Oil afterward to rebuild moisture and nourishment.

If your hair's already lightened, skip straight to dye.

If you want vivid colour on dark hair, try our No-Bleach Lifting Colour Series instead as it lifts your original base colour while depositing colour pigments on any dark hair.

Because it's semi-permanent, it fades out gradually with every wash, no harsh stripping needed.

Want it gone faster? Wash more frequently with a clarifying shampoo, hot water and skip conditioner for the first few washes (conditioner seals the cuticle and holds pigment in longer, which is great when you want it to last, less great when you don't).

If you need it gone right this instant and your hair is in good condition, try doing a bleach wash. Combine a bit of Bleaching Cream and Developer, with shampoo and water to form a watered down bleach mixture. Apply to the affected areas and rinse off when you're happy with the result. Do note that this is the harshest method amongst all so its only recommended for people with healthy hair. Proceed at your own discretion.

Yes for the semi-permanent dye, it's gentle enough for chemically treated hair but we still recommend consulting your hair stylist.

Bleaching chemically treated hair is a different call. Treated hair is already more porous and fragile, so proceed with caution and don't bleach two chemical services back to back within a 6 month window.

Red Flag is permanent colour that is made for dark, unbleached hair. It lifts your original base colour and deposits the red dye in one step. Once the red fades, your original base colour will be 2-3 shades lighter than before.

Semi-Permanent Conditioning Colours work best on lightened hair for vivid colour, does not contain any lightening agents so your base colour remains the same after the dye fades away. It also has a non-damaging formula, literally a hair mask with colour pigments since it does not contain any alcohol, ammonia or peroxide.

The colour may bleed on wet hair so be sure to use a dark coloured towel and dry your hair after showering. The bleeding stops after around 2 weeks.

It can stain skin temporarily (nail polish remover or soap and water usually lifts it, baby oil or makeup remover works on stubborn spots). Be sure to wear gloves when applying.

Yes, but expect the result to blend with whatever's underneath rather than showing true-to-tub. Colour reacts differently over existing colour than it does on natural or bleached hair. If your base is very dark from previous colour, you may still need to bleach first.
