Dye Your Hair Neon Purple

This Article will teach you the basic, intricate, and easy steps on how to dye your hair BRIGHT neon purple. Remember not to over think it, and lastly, have fun!

Steps

  1. Start off by washing your hair. Make sure it's squeaky clean. Avoid using a conditioner until after you dye. Conditioner prevents the dye from sticking as well.
  2. Get out your basic hair dye tools. You'll need a comb, hair clips, tinting brush, bowls, rubber gloves (if the dye doesn't come with them), petroleum jelly (I'll explain why later), and your dye of choice.
  3. Before you start using chemicals (such as bleach), always make sure you're wearing clothing that you don't mind getting stained. Now, take a bleach powder and cream developer (for your current hair color) and mix them up in a bowl with the brush. Stir until it feels like a frosting/whipped cream consistency.
    • Before putting in the bleach, take your petroleum jelly and put it on the top of your ears, sides of your head, and forehead. This will prevent the bleach from getting in your face.
  4. Separate your hair into sections starting from bottom to top; almost like you're flat ironing your hair, but split into two. Take your bleach and a clean tinting brush, then start applying the bleach close to the root, but don't get it on the scalp or it will make your head itch. It helps if you have someone help you do this. Each time you coat a section, put aluminum foil on it. After you're finished with the whole head, let it sit for the desired color. It's usually 20-30 minutes. After you've done that, take out the foil, and rinse it out. Your hair should then be a brassy color.
  5. Tone your hair to get rid of brassiness.You can purchase toners at Sally's Beauty Supply. It's best to use a purple based toner, such as Wella Color Charm in the color Lightest Ash Blonde. Mix the toner and developer in a bowl with a clean tint brush. Apply the toner as you would the bleach. And process for 15-20 minutes. Be warned! The toner will go on purple, but relax, it will not stay purple once you've rinsed it out!
    • It should look like this.
  6. Now it's time to dye your hair purple. For the best results, use professional and good quality dyes such as Manic Panic or Special Effects.
  7. Pour out your dye into a plastic bowl and place a tinting brush in it. To conserve dye or make a whole tub last for your whole head if you have a lot of hair, add conditioner to the bowl. But don't add too much conditioner, as it can dilute the color. Next, put some petroleum jelly on your ears and sides of your forehead. If the dye gets on your face, it's very hard to take off. What you want to do is split your hair into sections and dye your hair from back to front make sure it's saturated and you get an even coverage. Get close to the root, but don't dye the scalp.
  8. Cover your hair with a shower cap. This prevents the color from dripping or getting anywhere. Leave it on for a good hour and a half so that it sets and ends up lasting a long time.
  9. Finally, wash it out with clear water and vinegar (this helps set the color) until it runs clear.
  10. Your hair is now bright purple! In order to maintain the color, use a sulfate and peroxide free shampoo to make it last. And for the conditioner, use the same brand. Or you can purchase a purple shampoo and conditioner!

Tips

  • Mix excess dye with your conditioner to boost color every time you shower and make your color last a long time!
  • When you do use heat, be sure to apply heat protectant
  • These steps can be used to dye your hair other colors as well. Follow the whole guide the same way, except use the other color of dye you want instead.
  • You can buy different strengths of developer for the bleach, (40 volume is ONLY for black or very dark brown hair, 30 volume is for dark brown hair to medium light brown hair, 20 volume is for light brown to medium blonde, and 10 volume is for light blonde hair.)
  • After bleaching and dying, do NOT apply any heat for at least a week.
  • Try not to use excessive heat after dying your hair or it will become brittle and fall off.
  • Look on YouTube for style tips and fun hair-dos!
  • consider getting a hot oil treatment after doing this. It will make your hair super soft and shiny.
  • Make an appointment with your hairdresser if you find that your hair is dull even after conditioning it. Consider getting a color gloss, which is what many celebrities such as Katy Perry use to keep their hair shiny after dying it.
