Purple hair: color combination options and tips for dyeing

Coloring your hair in vibrant and unusual shades is a great way to make yourself known. This option is ideal for rebels and nature seekers, and it is equally good for both young girls and older ones.

In order to create a modern look, you need very little - just follow fashion trends suggested by eminent stylists and designers. It is not necessary to visit expensive beauty salons and fill the closet with branded clothes - sometimes it is quite enough to adopt a few bright ideas inspired by fashion shows.

In recent years, purple dyeing has become popular - these shades are commonly used in sewing clothes, making accessories and creating hairstyles. In this case, it is precisely staining in purple tones that can become the most striking and daring decision for women who are young in heart and soul.

Such coloring has only one drawback, and it is associated with the choice of the optimal shade. The fact is that intense shades are not suitable for everyone, so you should choose among many variations on the theme of purple: that which will best match your image, features of your appearance and your inner self. Please be aware that if you don't like the result, then getting rid of the purple scale on your hair will not be easy.

Most people, when they mention purple staining, immediately remember cute grandmothers with fine lilac chemistry on their heads. Nowadays, this color has boldly moved into the ranks of young people, having undergone only minor adjustments in the way of toning, hairstyle options and color palette.

Let's figure out which women go with a similar color scheme, and who should give preference to other, less defiant shades.

It is noteworthy that purple coloration has no age restrictions - both a high school graduate and an adult girl will look spectacular with such strands. However, on a mature lady, light purple accents will be very appropriate.

The structure of the strands, as well as the degree of curl, does not matter. Purple looks equally good on straight and curled hair, only styling and haircut matters - hair can be short or long, but it should be stylish and well-groomed.

Another parameter that should not be taken into account is complexion. The owner of a purple color scheme on her hair can be slender or puffy, short or tall - curls in any case will help divert attention from the shortcomings and emphasize all the advantages of appearance.

But purple imposes rather strict requirements on sleekness. - the owner of such an unusual color should be ready to be treated, so any rashes, acne, signs of fatigue or an unhealthy complexion will not go unnoticed. When choosing a shade, the color type also matters. For example, lilac notes will be appropriate for the fair sex with a Nordic type of appearance, which is characterized by light skin, as well as blue or brown eyes - this type is usually called winter.

As an option you can use tint shampoo instead of dye - it will not change the natural color of the hair, but it will give it deep purple notes. It is best for such women to dwell on shades of eggplant or blueberry - by the way, both are acceptable for creating a business image.

For ladies of summer and spring types, it is best to stay on pinkish tones. - Owners of light skin and green eyes are suitable for strawberry and raspberry shades, fuchsia colors will look very impressive.

The intensity of the purple coloration can vary in the widest possible range of colors. Of the light shades, the most relevant are white-purple, pearl, as well as ash tones - such colors fit perfectly on blond hair, especially with platinum tints.

One of the disadvantages of purple coloration is its unpredictability - it is impossible to predict 100% what the result will be in advance, therefore, even if two girls with similar hair color decide on toning with the same paint, the result for each can be different: lilac, purple, ash, gray or pink.

Let's take a closer look at the description of the most fashionable shades of purple.

• Black purple - it is also called brown-purple. This shade is perfect for brunettes with dark or even black hair. This color almost does not change the native tone of the hair, but at the same time gives a beautiful shine with pink or lilac highlights.

• Blue violet - looks harmonious on women with translucent skin, under which all capillaries and small vessels are visible to the naked eye. The result is an aristocratic type, which is precisely characterized by the pallor of the covers, a slight blue and the absence of a pronounced "rustic" blush.

• Pink purple - is pale or, conversely, bright. Nowadays, the strawberry range has come into fashion, however, it suits exclusively blondes. Dim, close to fuchsia halftones look harmoniously on ladies with light gray and blue eyes.

• White-violet - such a color is obtained only after preliminary discoloration of the hair, ideally, the bleached hair is painted with ammonia-free paint, and then tinted with tint shampoos.

• Gray-haired or ashy - this is exactly the same color that was presented on the heads of our grandmothers. Silvery notes perfectly mask gray hair, and lavender tint gives the hair tenderness and makes its owner fresher and more youthful. By the way, in recent seasons, this trend is rapidly gaining popularity and looks great in combination with a platinum blonde. This solution works best for ombre and other gradient painting techniques.

Such paints are washed off with plain water and shampoo.

When it comes to purple, it is extremely rare to find a single tone. Most often, magenta is used to create stylish accents, complementing the basic hair tone. Compounds can be very diverse: blue-violet, gray-violet, red-violet, violet-green, violet-blue, as well as pastel violet, violet-turquoise and chocolate-violet.

It is considered a classic of the genre combination of purple and black - even those women who are forced to adhere to a strict dress code can afford this kind of retreat. The main tone is usually selected taking into account the main hair color - black, chestnut and chocolate.

Look impressive combinations of purple with blue (blue), as well as pink (red). Among young women, combinations of white and purple are most popular, and any shades of purple can be used as accents.

In recent years, the top trend in the beauty industry has become a combination of gray-gray and amethyst tones.

There are many options, so it is quite difficult to create a harmonious picture "by eye" - before the first coloring, it is best to abandon the idea of ​​experimenting with the appearance and turn to a professional colorist who can compose the optimal composition of shades so that the purple color will make you stylish and daring and at the same time youthful. Remember that the wrong shades can play a bad joke with you, adding absurdity, untidiness and extra years to the image.

The purple dye itself is quite rich and non-trivial, so not every girl can decide to complete coloring. Most often, this trendy shade is used to highlight individual strands.

One of the most fashionable styles is considered purple ombre - this dyeing option looks good on women of any age, its main advantage is that the root zone is not affected during dyeing, due to which the damage caused to the hair is minimal. An excellent opportunity to refresh the complexion will be staining the ends of the strands in purple, this type of toning goes well with thick bangs.

For lighter shades of purple, you need preliminary bleaching of hair, stylists advise choosing a professional line of products from Estel Professional, but forget about the "clarifiers" presented in supermarkets: in the best case, you will not get the required pigment, and in the worst case, you will lose part of your hair.

As for further toning, the choice of paints is small. Purple shades are not represented in all lines intended for home use. Among the compositions that have received the best reviews from hairdressers and ordinary buyers, the following are distinguished.

• Nouvelle - paint-cream, specially created to create a bright creative image. The shades presented by this manufacturer are suitable for dark-haired young ladies, the pigment has the ability to penetrate deep into the hair structure, due to which the color is saturated, and in addition, gray hair is completely painted over. The formula is additionally enriched with rice protein and herbal extracts - thus neutralizing the damage caused to the hair, the elasticity of the strands is restored, and the curls are moisturized from roots to ends.

• Concept - the color palette of this brand includes purple shades with brown and red tints. The composition of the emulsion includes chitosan, glucose and cedar oil - everything that gives the curls a rich color, while having a protective effect on the hair.

The coloring procedure itself is no different from toning in other shades, it includes several stages.

1. Comb your hair and gather it in a few small buns to make it easier to apply the dye.
2. Apply a greasy cream to the area where the skin borders on the hair area, otherwise you will get dirty and it will not be easy to remove these spots.
3. Hair is dyed starting from the occipital region, then on the sides and at the very end - in the frontal region.
4. After all the hair has been processed, it is necessary to comb the hair with a brush, put on an insulating cap and wait for the time specified in the instructions for the paint, then rinse with water and shampoo.

Experts give several recommendations that will make the coloring more effective.

• When choosing paint, give preference to those that contain a not too saturated chemical formula - otherwise you risk getting ordinary tow instead of a spectacular violet.
• Before applying the composition, be sure to conduct an allergy test. To do this, a little paint is applied to the hand in the area of ​​the wrist or the place of the elbow bend and observe - if you notice redness, soreness or the appearance of a rash, it is better to refuse to use paint.
• It is advisable to wash off the paint with warm water - under a hot stream the pigment is partially washed out and instead of a beautiful violet you will get a lilac shade.

In order for your purple hue to delight you as long as possible, it is necessary to adhere to the basic rules of hair care after dyeing.

• To wash your hair, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners for colored hair - they maintain the shade and provide additional protection for damaged strands.
• After dyeing in the salon, do not use home paints to correct the color - you will hardly be able to get the same shade as the hairdresser, since the pigments presented in the non-professional series of paints can give uneven staining and unexpected color.
• For curled hair, be sure to apply a mask, and once a month, be sure to perform salon treatments. Keep in mind that dried strands lose their color much faster, become dull, and also begin to frizz.
• Try not to wash your hair as often as you are used to. Firstly, in this case, you will rather quickly reduce your purple hue. And secondly, with frequent washing of hair, increased production of sebum is stimulated, the strands begin to look dirty much faster. It is enough to wash 2 times a week - on other days you can use dry shampoos.

In conclusion, we will give some advice for those women whose expectations did not coincide with reality, and the coloring turned out to be completely different from what they expected. Getting rid of the purple pigment is difficult, but possible.

In order to remove the purple color from the hair as quickly as possible, you need to prepare a wash, the following recipes are most effective.

• In a water bath, heat 50 ml of any vegetable oil, mix with 250 ml of water, add 2 raw chicken yolks, mix until a homogeneous consistency is obtained and gently apply to the hair so that the mixture is abundantly and evenly distributed through the hair. After that, a warm cap is put on the head, kept for 15-30 minutes and washed off with shampoo. This procedure must be repeated 3-5 times.
• Mix 120 g of soda with 10 g of salt, dilute with water until the consistency of sour cream, distribute over the curls, put on a bag, wrap with a warm towel and wait about an hour, then rinse in any usual way.

Summarizing all of the above, it is safe to say that purple color allows women to achieve fashionable and creative coloring, the main advantage of which is versatility and the ability to choose the optimal shade for any color type. At the same time, purple also has disadvantages: the color is washed out rather quickly, the saturation of the final shade can be the most unpredictable, and besides, the paint is not represented in every color palette.
