Good Dye Young Semi-Permanent Hair Dye
Standard Range Explained. Shades, Fade Time, and Results
The standard semi-permanent range from Good Dye Young is designed for bold colour with predictable fade. This is the range most people should start with.
It offers strong payoff without the heavy pigment load of darker formulas and without the fast fade of pastels. For many users, this is the best balance between vibrancy, wear time, and flexibility.
This guide explains how the standard range works, what results to expect on different hair bases, and which shades are most popular.
