How To Choose The Right Shade Of Purple For Your Hair

• Keep Your Skin Tone In Mind: When choosing a hair color, make sure you keep your surface skin tone and undertone in mind. If you have a warm undertone, opt for golden hues of purple. If you have a cool undertone, go for darker or more intense shades of purple.
• Keep Your Daily Wear In Mind: The clothes you wear should look good with the shade of purple you choose. Figure out if you wear more warm, cold, or neutral colors and pick a purple accordingly.
  Don’t Forget Makeup: If you spend a good amount of time in front of the mirror, making sure your face looks perfect, it is important that you read this. Imagine spending all that time doing your makeup only to realize that it doesn’t match your new lilac hair!
• Figure Out What You Want: Do you want a complete hair color change? Or are you just looking for some playful streaks? Maybe some face-framing highlights? Do you want to get on the two-toned look bandwagon? Or is a dimensional purple look what you are aiming for? Make sure you check out all your options, so you pick the best shade for you!
• Consider The Amount Of Maintenance You’ll Need: Think about whether you want to spend a lot of time on maintaining that fresh purple shade. You may have to keep recoloring your hair as frequently as every three weeks. If you are not up for it, consider just getting some streaks.

Here are a few popular purple hair dyes options you can check out if you are planning on coloring your hair at home!

Now that you know some great ways to style your purple hair, here’s how you can take care of your hair once you color it.

Hair Maintenance For Purple Hair

• Oil your hair often. Colored hair needs heavy maintenance, so give it all the nourishment it needs.
• Use a color protect shampoo to prevent your hair color from fading quickly.
• Consider using a deep conditioner once every week to nourish your hair right from the roots.
• Use a protein-based hair mask once every two weeks to restore all the nutrients you lost when coloring and bleaching your hair.
• Oil your hair after you return from the salon. Do it gently because your hair will be fragile at this point. After that, keep oiling your hair on a weekly basis.
• When you first color your hair, don’t style it in tight hairstyles. Allow it to hang loose to avoid breakage. Also, keep your hair protected at night if you have curly hair. Follow the pineapple method to maintain the definition of your curls.
