ENTITY explains how to get purple hair.

As the seasons change, bright hair colors are becoming more and more popular. And for ENTITY, we think the dark purple hair trend is a great colors to start with.

However, we also know that when you dye your hair such an unnatural shade, there’s a lot to take into consideration.

Thankfully, we’ve broken it down for you here. Here’s all you need to know about dying your hair purple, especially if you have dark hair.

1 First things first: You’re going to need to bleach your hair.

ENTITY explains how to get purple hair.

Unnatural colors are typically translucent. This means, if your hair is a dark color and you put colors like purple, blue or pink on it, the results won’t show.

To bring brown (or black) hair to a bright purple, bleaching is a definite part of the process. Thus, you’re going to have to pre-lighten your base (whatever hair color you’re starting with). Your stylist will typically lighten your base anywhere from a light yellow to a pure white color.

But overall, the best base color for purple hair depends on the kind of shade you want.

2 If dark purple hair isn’t for you, opt for other shades of purple.

Stylists typically recommend you choose a shade that matches your overall skin tone. Darker skin tones can pretty much wear any shade of purple except rich plum reds. Olive skin tones, on the other hand, look best in blue-toned shades such as violet or deep purple. And last, paler tones typically rock warm and cool purples.

But even with this in mind, always choose the tone that will make you feel the most confident. Besides, if you’re going to get a color as bold as purple, you may as well get a color you absolutely love.

3 Unnatural colors like these aren’t permanent.

Unfortunately, the original vibrancy of your new hair will not last very long. It’ll start fading between four or five days – or if you’re lucky, you have a week. You can thank your shampoo and conditioner for this.

Aside from that, how long your dye lasts also depends on what kind of dye you used. Of course, permanent dyes won’t fade as quickly as semi-permanent dyes, but you’ll still need to retouch them every few weeks. You can do this by re-applying the same color or by using a semi-permanent dye to make the color vibrant again.

And if you really want to try and maintain your violet tresses, you may want to invest in color refresher shampoos. De Lorenzo violet shampoo contains an intense violet pigment that can help reduce fading on purple hair.

4 If you don’t want the commitment, start with a purple hair ombre.

If you want to just dip your toes (or tips) in the purple trend, then try an ombre. Purple ombre styles are a fun ways to get the creative style you want without the daily hassle and maintenance.

Although the same rules of dyeing your whole head of hair purple pretty much apply to ombre styles, it won’t be as much money or work. And if you absolutely don’t like it, you can even cut it off.

What are you waiting for? Happy dyeing!
