dye my hair purple

It was great! I wasn’t really expecting it to be as purple as it is because it’s a Boots Dark Mahogany and I thought it’d just go darker and redder – but it went sort of purpley reddy brown, because my hair naturally had a lot of different tones it also toned itself
It’s more ‘burnt plum’ than purple, but it’s really good. I love it. The texture is great.
So what I did was, I went to boots in search of a colour that was sorta blackish, brownish, reddish purplish. And when I couldn’t find one that looked the right colour but wasn’t cheap and tacky, I eventually went for the Boots Botanics collection because it looked the most natural. My hair is a sort of medium brown with natural blonde bits, and natural darker bits, and on the back of the packet it says that medium browns will go darker than blondes – obviously. So I went home and did a sensitivity test and a strand test – the strand test I couldn’t really see the colour in that much, and the sensitivity test it says to wait for 48 hours but I couldn’t so when I didn’t get an allergic reaction, I died my hair two hours later.
It was my first time so I was a bit apprehensive when the hair dye went dark purple – I thought it was going the wrong colour. But it said ‘the colour of the dye bears no resemblance to the colour your hair will go’ and then it was alright.
I got my mum to section my hair and then smother it equally because apparently it’s hard otherwise, and still some parts of my hair are alot purpler than others. But overall, i LOVE it!!
wooah. :)

i had meh hairdresser handle it, since then i’ve used manic panic- green was the best, purple was amazing too though.

my mum sed that i might be able to go to london with her in a few weeks so i’ll probz be ging to camde or smth to buy the hair fdyes yayyy xx

just the bottom…bought the dye yesterday. 1-31-09

I want to dye my hair purple like it was 2 years ago.
It was a really interesting color.
Without the sun, it would be a dark purple…almost like dark violet color, but once the sun hit my hair it would be electric!

I bought some hair dye, where the box looked purple, but it turned out this fushia/red-ish color!! O_O

[Manic Panic doesn’t work well without the bleach, by the way.]

Luckily, I managed to find a different brand with a nice purple-black hue.

I think it looks cool and classy at the same time, I LOVE IT! XD

I just want one slash of purple about an inch wide in my black hair. Hotness i think.

but this one has more people, so here it is:
I used to use Wella ColorCharm 4V, but I can never find that anymore. :( It came out very dark at first, then would lighten to a burgundy/plum. It stayed in nicely, and didn’t stain my skin. Now that I can’t find that, I’ve used:

Manic Panic Deadly Nightshade and Purple Haze mixed together.
This combo looked awesome after I dyed it, but faded UBER fast. Not too much skin staining, because I put moisturizer around my hairline and on my ears.

Plum Herbatint Permanent hairdye
This one was very runny and smelled awful. Faded very quickly. I also bought the Violet one but haven’t used it.

Clairol Color Flirt in some kind of purple color
It was a mousse and very easy/fun to apply. Gave a nice shiny light purple color. Faded quickly. Can’t find it anymore.

Splat! hair color in Lusty Lavender
Stained everything! I was violet all over. Again, it didn’t last long at all. My boyfriend said it gave the best color, though.

So, all in all, I’m still searching for a perfect purple. You know, something that keeps my hair violet and not just my bath tub. :/ Sigh.

In my early 50’s I was finally so comfortable in my own skin that I finally “painted” my hair (as my hubby would say) a number of outrageous colors. I loved it! Talk about lifting my spirits! Hah! And I finally settled on red as my everyday color, although purple looks great with my skin tones!

i want to do this but thanks to my job i cant….i might just quit and get it over with… =]
