I've wanted this shade for ages! I've been battling the new directions turquoise, and the new sfx blue velvet out of my hair for ages, evening it out with blue lagoon as I go. I went back to the old bleach I used to use and it seemed to lift a lot better.
This is before (I bleached my hair in the morning and went and met my friend in town, it looks ok here but you can tell I've been feeling ill because I'd never go in with half done hair normally haha)

And after...

Wahoo it's just like old diluted directions turquoise πŸ™‚ maybe a bit brighter actually in the sun. It's a bit greeny at the roots but I'm ok with that!
I used one pot and it covered ok!

That's such a pretty colour on you, and I love the slightly greeny roots!

It was more blue than grey to be honest, and my roots were yellow!! I really shouldn't have left the house ha

So what issues did you have with the new directions turquoise? I haven't tried it, but loved the old formula.

It just isn't the same....sounds silly I know but I had a real hard time getting it out of my hair. It's stained a lot too so i will have that to look forward to later on. It was a lot greener too than previous batches too.

Hmm... I dyed my extensions with directions turquoise after I stained them light lavender and it came out green, but the thing is, there's NO green in the dye itself, it's pure blue turquoise, it just when it gets into contact with hair, it gets greenier...

In the pot I see blue, nothing greeny. Maybe I got the old verison.

Yeah probably. I found it more teal. Bought 3 pots from different places all the same. Wont be using it again as it sticks too much.

The old formula was pretty stainy, is the new stuff even worse?

Yes!!! In my opinion anyway! I think a few on here have had it be really stainy.

I don't think I will be buying any more Directions πŸ™ I have been using it since 1988, always been a huge fan, but I really don't like what they have done to it now.
