Hi guys!

 

So I've wanted to dye my hair purple for some time now, and I've received permission from my parents and I hope to do so soon. I'm using semi-permanent dyes, so it will only be temporary. My natural hair is dark blonde/light brown, and I don't want to bleach for the first time (maybe at some point, though), so the shade of whatever color I choose can't be lighter than my natural shade. Unless I use a hair dye formulated for dark hair, but I don't think I will..

 

Anyway, what colors are your favorites, if you like unnatural colors at all?

 

I was thinking a dark, uniform purple, like this shade:

Or maybe a blue, like this:

And if I decided at some point to do a more natural color, my skin tone would probably work okay with this color:

Thoughts, ideas?

The purple is really pretty! Red-orange (a little toned down one tho. I dont rlly like bright bright. Pretty much the zendaya hair) hair, lilac, and rose gold would prob be my favs for unnatural hair colors (hehe im a natural color typa person). I also like a full white and silver, but meh for hair. 

 

 

anywaysss… zendayaaaaaa

Yeah, I really like the purple. It was my original idea and it's still a strong contender. Maybe I'll just end up going to the store and being like, "Hey, you know what? I feel like getting ____"

XD Are you going to dye your hair in streaks or just all of it? Or a gradient?

If I do it all (and I really, really want to so I think I will), I'm going to go for all of it. No streaks, just one color. I would maybe try a gradient at some point, but I think for the first time, I would do the whole head.

Hahaha, little hard to read but not a big deal :P

 

Yeah, I've seen that layer thing, too. It does look hard to do. Like imagine trying to get a perfect line, and not get one drop of dye on another part of your hair. I'm like 99.9999999999999999% sure you'd need another person to do it.

Hahahaha, yes. Ever tried piercing someone's ears?

 

I've done my own ears 3 times, and I've done someone else's 6 times. My hands shake every time :P You get an adrenaline rush.

Ah yes, the 'semi-permanent' blue dyes....... more like permanent omg lol. 
I had blue hair for so long, literally because it would not come out unless i bleached it, and even then it was like a mint color, so I had to bleach it again (because i wanted to go pink)....

Purples are the best imo, mine started to turn blue after some washes but it was a pretty blue, so it was like 2 colors in one lol
And if you want brighter colors in the future, I'd just go bright right now because you'll have an easier time with bleaching it, it'll be more even and easier to work with, but also it's your hair so do whatever you want, just have fun with it!

My hairdresser said never to dye my hair as it won't grow back the same. But it's totally your decision not mine . I think the first is best but I really I am not a fan of dying hair unnatural colors.  I  honestly don't know which one would work because we all look different and it might look fine on one person but terrible on another. It's up to you really . I hope you can choose though ! 

[Poptart~]

I think it is totally your decision cause like lattepanda said it may look good on one person and bad on another


My hair dying experience-
Once when I was in 7th grade I saw someone with purple hair and I thought it was really pretty so I got my mom to do a purple gradient. It said it was temporary but I waited 2 years and it never came out I don’t have it purple anymore cause I cut my hair so now I just have it brown.

Here is what my hair used to look like

Yeah, most people in my family don't like it either. But I do and I got permission, so I think I will. And yes, my hair will never be the same, but in my eyes it's only hair and it will grow back. So to be honest, I don't mind the damage

Really? Dang. Well, I'm okay with bleaching, but just not the first time because we all know bleach is really, really permanent. But if I like the color I go with, I'm good to bleach in order to dye a different color. Besides, I'm not a huge fan of pastels, so I don't need to get my hair to whitelist, just light enough to go over it with another color.
