I want purple hair..

[tokidokichi]

So I have purple temporary hair color and I want to put it to use.. It washes out completely in about a week so I think it will be something fun to try since I'm bored of my hair lately.

I photoshoped a picture to get an idea of what it would look like on me

But I'm probably just going to put it on the ends like this =]

I want purple hair too, I might get some manic panic or that effex stuff and join you. I can't post any pictures or edit anything yet, but if I do color my hair I can take pics and post them later on.

[tokidokichi]

I will definitely be posting pics as soon as possible.. as long as the test strand goes well tomorrow, I should have pics up by tomorrow night! & mz_butterfly, I'd love to see how yours turns out as well! Are you planning to color all over, or just in a specific spot?

[spike316]

Yay for fun colors! :cheese: I'd definitely say go for it. ^_^ I have some pics in my album of various hair colors I've done in the past and my current hair colors.

[Jeno86]

I've done purple many times. I would try Manic Panic first. All purples will fade to their base color. With some of the manic panic purples, it is a very nice purple-gray.

This is my hair with Raw...deep purple I believe. Amazing color however it fades to a Joker green that does not come out without the aid of bleach. So again, I recommend manic panic first.

[same_as]

The colour will suit you very well, definetly go for it, and post pictures!

[SoulOfTheSea]

My Amplified Manic Panic Purple Haze hair dye didn't fade to any funky colors, it faded to a light purple and then to a purple-grey, and then disappeared. :) So I highly recommend it!

Can't wait to see pictures!

[Kira94]

Ooh, I can't wait to see! :D

[Cecalv]

For those who wants a lighter purple I recomend La Riche Directions Lilac ^^ It's a rather pale and light purple that looks amazing in blonde hair.

Me too!! Fun-coloured hair rules!

[Shebelina]

I dyed the underside of my hair a vibrant violet a few years back. I loved it, I'd do it again but I think my boss would have a fit if I did :D It faded to pink which I was fairly happy with. It was a permanant dye though, I eventually dyed blonde over it and it went a light auburn colour. It faded eventually but not before my colleagues at the tandoori nicknamed me mixed biriani :D

I say go for it. Look forward to seeing the photos.

[jacqueline101]

I am having cabin fever too. I wanted to use the clairol jazzing hair color I have and dye three racing stripes in the underneath my hair kinda like the hair extensions you get. You wouldn't see it unless I wore my hair up. I also have purple and blue clairol jazzing colors.

[tokidokichi]

No purple hair yet, BUT I do have pretty yellow ends =P

sorry if the pic is big :rolleyes:

I lightened my ends a bit, as I'm going for that lighter purple color. I used 30 volume developer and left it on for 35 minutes. Luckily my hair is healthy enough and handled the lightener very well! Although, I did do a heavy oiling afterwards followed by and S&D just in case ^_^

I actually really like the yellow/orange results I got just from the lightener so I'm going to stick with that for a while. I'll save the purple for another time =]

[the.fee.fairy]

oooh lush! I love purple hair.

My go to colour for the past 10 years has been Directions Plum. It comes out a really dark blue hue purple.

I like the yellow ends, they really suit the rest of your hair!

[Arianna]

Hehe, the rest of you all have much more sense than me! I didn't want to use a commercial product so I tried colouring my hair purple with beetroot. To anyone thinking of using beetroot at all, from my experience my advice is don't. The only way I could get the colour to stay in at all was to let my hair air-dry with the beetroot-water that I was trying to dye with still in it. At the first rinse all the purple slides off your hair and down the drain. I must admit though, I quite liked the colour (and added thickness!) but it made my hair look unwashed and stringy. It also made my head quite itchy for some reason.
The intensity of the colour isn't what you might expect either considering the colour of the beetroot itself. (Or if you are like my family it is exactly what you were expecting: "Will that even work?" apparently not :P )
It has however made me happier about using a commercial hair dye as now I know the colour would look ok on me :)

Goodluck with yours and post up pics once you've done it! Looking forward to them :)

[Cara Heather]

Do post a pic or two :D

[einna]

Looking forward to the finished result. I want to try that myself, but without the bleach.

[MonaMayfair]

I LOVE it with the yellow ends! It makes me feel like my own hair is really boring though, LOL
I think I prefer the colors on the ends, rather than the whole length, it looks really cool.

[sarah061]

That photoshopped picture looks amazing!!! You would look so great with that color, you definitely pull it off! Yay, how exciting! Go for it :)

[artiste]

Definitely go for it i say! Fun colours are a great way to change up your hair without a huge commitment. :)
Enjoy! and don't forget to post pics!

[Aethernaught]

I *really* like the plum/copper overall, and to be honest I've been on the verge of ordering a couple violet/purple shades from Special Effects for about three weeks.. You might have just sent my resolve over the edge. I think you look AMAZING with that lovely plum/lavender wash - not too deep, stark, bright or vivid, it's delightful!

[Isilme]

I had a purple strand for some time, but it was a lot of upkeep. The dye I used was Stargazer, one of their dark purples, can't remember the name but it faded to hot pink:D

[mz_butterfly]

My hair is fairly short and if I do it I am just going to color all over. I can see your photoshopped picture now and it looks great. I am going to look for some temporary color next weekend when I go shopping with my friend.
I will definitely be posting pics as soon as possible.. as long as the test strand goes well tomorrow, I should have pics up by tomorrow night! & mz_butterfly, I'd love to see how yours turns out as well! Are you planning to color all over, or just in a specific spot?

[goldenmoments]

The golden Orange ends looks delightful. Just the other day I was drawing a Valentine and drew myself with pink hair....I can't see myself actually doing it but fun to imagine and draw

The yellow was good for a couple of days, but I decided to go ahead and do the purple! I LOVE IT!!

I used Urban Shock Color Craze in Violet by Scruples. Mixed it with a lot of conditioner to get a lighter purple, instead of that dark vivid violet.

[XardasW4]

I would advice you to use LaRiche Directions Violet or Lilac if you go for a long lasting colour and have the chance to get some, because LaRiche is the best in my experience ^_^

[HelloKitteh]

AbFab! I did my own version quite some years ago, it was bleached blond at the top, orange in the middle and red at the bottom, and called it sunset color. Kept it till I needed a job :D

Your version is lovely. Yep enjoy this, it's great, I got worried when you mentioned purple!!

LOL what was I worried about, the purple looks good too!!! Mixing it to get a lighter color was the way to go.

If it's just a few strands, why not just use hair extensions though? That's what I'm planning to do, that way I don't have to wonder when people can see it or not.

NICEEE!! :hifive:

[joflakes]

I love both but if I had to choose I'd go for the yellow. Very Hayley Williams-esque!

[Colourful]

A) you have beauuuuuuuuuutiful skin
B) you are very pretty
C) your hair is very pretty
D) you remind me of Juno Temple in the first picture

[Colourful]

Oh, and that purple looks good on you!

[Long_hair_bear]

I missmy purple hair but it was too much upkeep..... :(

[umbrellabones]

I love your red+purple hair!! :)

[ratgirldjh]

I love both the yellow and the purple! And you are so pretty :)

[Cara Heather]

it looks awesome :)

[Cocoa_Crema]

I'd love to do purple hair! Or maybe even vampire red. I want the glow in the sunlight. I mostly henna now, and once in a while I'll do indigo.

I just have never manic panicked before. I hear the mess is bad, and that you have to saran wrap the bathroom?

[Katze]

looks really nice! It looks like the purple really only took on the bleached ends, which is the problem I have been having with trying to do crazy colors on virgin hair.

The different colored ends thing rocks. I think I am going to actually bleach my ends so I can get indigo blue ends. :)

[theodora]

Looks amazing! It really goes well with your natural hair colour, so that's a plus!
I have purple hair at the moment myself, with turquoise ends, because I felt like jazzing it up :).

Not with manic panic..... With special effects, yes. I've tried both. :D

That's what mine does (I've had Purple Haze in my bangs for about two years now). I love it. :3

I was thinking the same thing.
