Ash purple hair is an amazing color that demonstrates both boldness and modesty, strong will and tenderness, and also gives the image a touch of mystery. A woman with ash purple hair will not go unnoticed on the street. However, deciding to paint in this unusual shade, you need to study the information about it.
Peculiarities
Ash color is a shade at the junction of green and blue, but in this case it is presented with a tint of violet, due to which mother-of-pearl rays play on a woman's hair. Some girls do not decide on such a cardinal image, believing that gray-purple is the color in which women of mature age prefer to paint. But this is not so, and even on the contrary, for women over 40 years old, this shade is highly discouraged.
The fact is that it makes blemishes on the skin more noticeable, so ladies who choose ash purple hair make a big mistake.
On the girl, this shade, on the contrary, looks very feminine, mysterious, gives freshness and youthful mischief.

How to choose paint?
Before you go to the store for paint, use the following recommendations:
- if a lady who wants to dye her hair in an ash-purple color has her own shade of warm colors, then it is the warm tones of ash that should be chosen; owners of a cold type, respectively, should give preference to cold shades;
- if the hair has a yellowish or reddish tint, then it is recommended to go to a professional for dyeing services, since at home the ashy color on red curls can turn into a dirty yellow;
- if it was not possible to find the desired shade, then it is allowed to mix tones of ash and purple paint in proportions 1: 2, but the result may again be extremely unexpected.

Coloring features
If the girl's hair has a very light shade, then staining in an ash purple tone should not be a problem. But the owner of light blond hair will have to lighten the strands by several tones before dyeing, since the paint may not be visible. Only after this is it possible to carry out high-quality staining. The same applies to women with light brown hair, only here the lightening will have to be approached even more responsibly, since the natural dark pigment will interrupt the light shade of the tonic.
It is best to carry out the procedure in the salon with a specialist., since the ash-purple color, although very beautiful, is a rather capricious shade that requires a special approach when painting.

It is important to remember that this color also needs professional grooming. As a rule, light tones quickly lose their brightness, the coloring pigment remains in its form for no more than several weeks. To maintain brightness, it is recommended to purchase special tinting agents and balms.
It is better to consult with the stylist who dyed the hair beforehand.
And also the professionals advise use a hairdryer and iron as little as possible in the first three days after coloringto give hair a break from the chemical attack of ash purple.

I understand that if purple-ash is applied to a discolored (yellowish) base, then purple only neutralizes the yellowness, and ashy is most likely to turn out to be grayish-beige-blond ... I did it. But then how is this beautiful platinum-silver hair with a lilac tint achieved? Maybe you need to add more purple in this case?
