It is crucial to recognize your current hair condition in order to somehow know the sort of outcome you will get. If your hair is in a kind of bad condition such as extremely dry, brittle or rough to the touch, you may need special care before dying.
Your current hair color is another important factor that impacts on the result. Lighter hair color, for example, will react very differently to darker hair. The fact that you are applying a dark purple hair dye without bleaching doesn't mean the outcome would be unpredictable.
Choosing a hair color sounds very easy. However, Its shades will confuse you .For example, by adding a little dark or light to the purple, you will have other color shades. So, you should use a color chart to describe exactly the color you want. By doing this, Hair stylists can understand what you want and give you the best result.
Make sure that the color you choose suits your skin tone. As an expert with more than 10 years in the hair industry I met a lot of women who glowed down because of choosing the wrong color. If you do not have experience in this aspect, you can refer to a professional hair stylist.
Patch testing is recommended before doing anything to your hair, as you might get an unwanted reaction due to chemical exposure to your skin. It is best to do the patch testing behind the ears or within your inside elbows' skin because this area is more sensitive than the others.
Why do you need to do a patch test? Paraphenylenediamine, also known as PPD, is a chemical found in almost all hair color products. At the absolute worst, it can trigger a significant allergic response and may damage your skin depending on the severity of the reaction.
Apply a small amount of the dark purple hair dye to the said skin areas, and wait for it to dry for at least 5 to 10 minutes. After it dries or after 10 minutes, there has been no allergic reaction such as reddening of the skin, swelling, difficulty of breathing, and/or nausea, you are safe to proceed to the next step.
This next step is for those who are still unsure whether the shade of dark purple hair dye will suit them or are hesitant about what would be the color result. Get a small number of hair strands and the desired amount of dark purple hair dye, apply it to the hair strands, and leave it on for the next 20 minutes.
If the color result meets your expected outcome, you can now dye your entire hair.
Arctic Fox was established by Kristen Leanne - an American Youtuber. This brand created a new wave in the beauty industry because of its human-health friendly products. “Purple AF” , a semi-permanent hair color, can be used for both light and dark hair shades to dye hair purple.
The ingredient of “Purple AF” doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals such as drying alcohol, Ammonia or PPDs. Although being made from natural ingredients, the high performance still lasts for 4-8 weeks before it fades to your natural color.
Another brand that we highly recommend is Manic Panic, especially its “Purple Haze Dye Hard”. This is a temporary hair color which will come right out after you wash your hair. Its ingredients made us “WOW” when we got it on hand. There is no Ammonia and PPDs inside. Moreover, the smell of this color is really gentle and it will dry in about 5-7 minutes.
This hair color is for everyone who wants to try dark purple hair without spending time on the dyeing process. If you are a busy lady, Hard Dye Purple Haze will save you a lot of time.
Schwarzkopf is another big name in the hair color industry. “Purple Punk 094” is a product of Schwarzkopf’s famous hair color line - Live Ultra Brights. With Purple Punk 094, you can get dark purple hair easily.
This vegan formula allows you to get intense color for 6-8 weeks long or 15 washes. There are a lot of dark purple hair dyes in the market, but Purple Punk 094 triumphs over them because of its pretty shade.
SPLAT is very famous in the beauty community with the perfect kit to dye hair at home. When you buy Purple Desire from SPLAT, you will get a kit including a pair of gloves, hair color, bleach, oxide and an instruction sheet. This dark purple hair dye can be used on both light and dark hair.
Customers appreciate SPLAT - Purple Desire because they can do it themselves. Unlike other hair colors I mentioned before, this is a permanent hair color, so it’s obvious that it will last long. Now you can buy it from SPLAT because they allow global shipping.
