dye my hair purple

I had wanted to do something crazy with my hair color for a while. Hair has always been a way to express myself be it color (I’ve had all of the “normal” one, and a few less than “normal”), style (mowhawk, long, curly, straight, wavy, etc), or any things else. I used Manic Panic and LOVE it. I’d like to find a more permanent color though.

my hair has now been completely purple for about 3 months

it’s not really that purple. looks exactly like the colour of an eggplant. in the shade it’s simply dark brown, in the sun it looks more intense. makes me look older, but the colour itself is rather nice.
I probably should’ve gotten it bleached and then applied some intense purple to get a more extreme result.

with shaving my hair. I figured out that now is the best time to do it, because I don’t want to go looking for jobs with a bald head and neither do I want to have my final exams while being bald.
I stumbled upon one of BishopBishops vermons where she shaved her head and thought it was so beautiful and quite a meaningful ritual that I’m convinced I want to do it, even if I shed some tears afterwards.

And of course, if I’m going to shave it off anyway, I can have some fun experimenting beforehand. I think purple might look quite nice.

At first I was a little scared to do it.
I was worried what would people think.
Finally someone decided she would do it for me.
Well it turned out awesome and I got so many good things about my
purple hair. If you are wanting to do it, do it, you wont regret it

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
