Your hair is going to need some help.

You need to prepare yourself for the fact that this is going to be a lot of work. If you have lighter hair, it will take a lot longer and require more effort to get your hair as dark as you want it. Blue dye is much harder than red or purple dye. Your hair will be dryer and more brittle after dying with blue colorant, so you should use conditioner regularly if you want your hair looking healthy and shiny again after dying it blue!

Try a semi-permanent dye first.

One of the best things about semi-permanent dyes is that they’re less damaging than permanent dyes. Semi-permanent dyes are also a good way to test out a color before committing to it, and can be used to blend in white or grey hair.

You can use semi-permanent dyes twice as often as you would use permanent dye, so if you’re not ready for your plum hair experiment just yet but want something a little more daring and fun than your natural shade, then go with a semi-permanent dye first!

Don’t stress over whether or not the color will work for you.

You may be worried about trying out a new hair color, but don’t stress too much. If you’re not sure whether or not the color will work for you, try doing a test run before committing to the full treatment. We recommend testing it on one section of your hair so that it’s easy to cover up with your natural shade if things don’t go as planned!

If you do try out a new color and decide it’s not right for you, don’t worry—there are plenty of ways to get rid of unwanted hues (like deep conditioning treatments). Just remember: if something isn’t working out, there’s always ways around it! Don’t let what other people think hold you back from doing whatever makes YOU feel good about yourself! Your happiness is all that matters here 🙂

You’re going to get lots and lots of compliments.

You’re going to get lots and lots of compliments.

And when I say “lots,” I mean it. Purple hair is such a statement that people can’t help but look at it, and because of the bright color the compliments will come from everyone from random strangers to your grandmother. You won’t be able to go anywhere without being stopped by someone who wants to ask you about your hair color selection or tell you how beautiful they think it looks (I’m not just being biased either—I’ve seen this happen with so many people!).

It will fade, so be ready for a touch-up.

One of the most important things to know about your new plum hair is that it will fade. Plan on touching up every 6-8 weeks, depending on how often you wash your hair and what products you use. It’s also important to note that every person’s hair fades at a different rate. I personally keep my color fresh by using a purple shampoo (I swear by this one) and conditioner once every two weeks or so. This keeps the color looking fresh for longer than if I only washed with regular shampoo and conditioner (which would be more like once a month).

It may seem like soon after getting your new plum color touched up, but it’s easy to spoil yourself with an extra trip to the salon! The key here is being prepared when you’re going in for a touchup—that way nothing gets overlooked and everything stays looking beautiful 🙂

Dyeing your hair purple is rewarding and fun, but it can also be stressful and difficult.

There are many great things about dyeing your hair plum. It’s a fun way to express yourself and it can be very rewarding when people compliment you on the shade. However, there are also some challenges that come with the territory of this hairstyle.

There is no right or wrong answer here — everyone has different experiences and expectations when it comes to hair color. But if you’re considering going purple and want to know what exactly to expect, read on!

Before You Begin: Be Sure To Use Semi-Permanent Dye

While it can be tempting (and cheaper) to get temporary dye from stores like CVS or Target, I recommend using semi-permanent dyes instead for two reasons: 1) They will last longer without fading more than the temporary kind does; 2) They won’t damage your hair as much over time because they don’t contain ammonia like their counterparts do. This means that your purple color won’t fade prematurely and leave bright strands after washing out!
