Why Purple Hair?
Purple hair isn't just a colour; it's an attitude! There’s just something about this colour: it's daring, it's mysterious, and it's like a little bit of sorcery. From the cool tones of Lavender to the deep richness of Burgundy, there's a purple hair dye for every vibe. Let’s get started with your purple transformation.
Prep Like a Pro
Before you unleash the purple hair dye, you've got to prep your canvas. Here’s the lowdown:
- Lighten Up : For the most vibrant results, start with a light blonde base. Use our High Lift Bleaching Kit to get there. If your hair's dark, it might take a few sessions, but trust us, it's worth it.
- All about the Condition : Show your hair some love in preparation for dyeing with a deep conditioning treatment a few days before dye day such as our Bond Recovery Treatment.
- Let’s be Clear : Use a clarifying shampoo to strip away any buildup prior to dyeing – we want your hair squeaky clean for that colour to stick. Use our Colour Extend Shampoo for this and for all your post dye washes!
Pick Your Player!
Crazy Color offers a killer lineup of purple hair dyes, each with its own edge so you can pick the one that represents you (or mix them up to create something new!). Here’s the rundown:
- Violette: A rich, deep purple with cool blue undertones. This dark purple hair dye is perfect for making a bold statement.
- Hot Purple: An electric, bright purple hair colour that screams confidence.
- Burgundy: A luxe blend of purple and red, for a striking colour with a dark and mysterious vibe.
- Lavender: A soft, creamy light purple hair dye with a hint of pink that’s dreamy and magical!
- Lilac: A smoky, pastel blue purple that has a great fade out to an ashy blonde.
Get Your Purple Hair Dye On
Now for the fun part—applying the colour! Here’s how to do it like a pro:
- Get your kit on : Throw on some old clothes or a salon cape. We always recommend using disposable gloves, so your hands won't be stained with colour. Use a dark towel for your hair after dyeing to prevent any colour transfer, especially when you are using deeper shades!
- Section Your Hair : Clip your hair into sections. Trust us, it makes everything easier. We have the perfectKit for you to get this just right!
- Slather on the Dye : Using a brush or your (gloved) hands, coat each section from roots to tips. Make sure every strand is drenched in green goodness. We always say it but… it’s all about that saturation in colour to get the best results!
- Massage and Comb Through : Work the dye into your hair and comb through for even distribution.
- Wait for It : Let the dye work its magic for 15-30 minutes. For an extra punch of colour, leave it on a bit longer.
- Remove the Excess : We can all get a little messy with our colour when dyeing so we created a product for all of you, like us who tend to get your dye on more than just your skin! PSA: Hit the Colour Remover Wipes.
- Cool Rinse : Rinse with cool water until it runs clear. Top Tip: Keep it cool to lock in that colour.
- Anti Bleed Spray: Use after rinsing to help to seal your colour, prevent colour bleed after dyeing & can extend the life of your colour for up to ten extra washes!
- Condition: Our semi-permanent dyes have nourishing ingredients in them to leave your hair healthy, soft and with incredible shine, so a conditioner post dyeing isn’t always necessary. However, depending on your hair condition, if you feel it needs a little more TLC, use a colour-safe conditioner like our Rainbow Care Conditioner which contains vitamin-rich sunflower seed oil and nourishing Brazil Nut Oil, to keep your hair hydrated while also smelling A-MAZING!
Mix Your Purple Hair Dyes With a New Technique!
Feeling adventurous? Mix and match shades of purple hair dyes to create a custom look that's all you. Here are some ideas:
- Ombré Effect : Start with Violette at the roots, blend into Hot Purple mid-length, and finish with Lavender at the tips for a stunning gradient! This is actually easier than it looks! Check out our full application video to see how Georgia does it.
- Two-Tone: Split your hair and dye each half a different shade. Try Hot Purple on one side and Lavender on the other for a bold, edgy look. Or you could pick a contrasting shade… Hot Purple + Peppermint anyone?!
- Money Piece : Not ready to go for a full head of purple? Why not try it out with a money piece in one of your favourite shades! Burgundy pieces for brunettes are stunning or Lavender for blondes!
- Dip Dye: One of our favourite techniques to recommend when you’re not ready for a full vivid look. Perfect to ease yourself in! Just blend the colour onto your ends and let the colour work its magic!
