Bright semi-permanent dip dye

Please can anyone recommend a brand of semi-permanent hair dye in fairly bright colours for a dip dye on a tween? Her hair is naturally dark blonde. I have looked at Bleach London but am open to suggestions!

I like Directions. It has a lovely consistency and wide range of colours.

Oh wow, I remember Directions from the 90s! I didn’t know they were still going. Thank you, I will investigate.

I always liked Stargazer or Arctic Fox, Pravana is very good but more expensive. The Schwarzkopf ones aren't bad and you can get them in boots / superdrug etc.

On dark blonde hair you probably won't get super bright lighter colours but brightish reds / purples / blues should work OK. They can take a while to fully fade but not so bad with a dip dye as you can always trim the ends if you don't like it!

Stargazer! That’s another blast from the 90s. I used to spend ages poring over the swatches in town as I was never brave enough to use them.

Yes, the deal is that I have booked a haircut in the last week of August, and any colour that hasn’t washed out by then will be chopped!
