I've been dyeing my hair with SFX Deep Purple for a while now, and I was thinking to spice it up a little. I first thought of going a completely different colour but that would require bleaching and I don't want to give my hair that right now, so I was more interested in colours that could blend together well with Deep Purple. If anyone has experiences with this and would like to share π
Oh and also if you would mix dyes from different brands. I have a Plum+Cerise mix that's maybe half a tub left and I don't want to throw it away, plus an almost new Cerise as well.
I mix different brands all the time, so no issues there.
Do you mean another colour for the undyed parts of your hair or something to put over the purple?
I know you don't want to bleach, but a mild bleach bath left on for just a couple of minutes will turn Deep Purple to a bright pink, which will give you more options with warm colours
A color to put over the purple, either a color I can mix with a tiny part of Deep Purple before applying or something that I can put straight on my hair once the colour has faded a bit more (right now it's still a rich purple). I was thinking about some blues, I guess they are the best colours for a mix like this?
I think blue is the obvious way to go if you don't want to force fade or bleach. A turquoise will make a lovely deep inky blue over a pink based purple.
Oh you just told me the thing I hoped! I was thinking about turquoise indeed but thought it would be too light to work with a purple and its fade. Definitely will give it a try!
It is what i would try. I think a darker blue would just go super dark over Deep Purple
Yeah I thought so too. I've only used dark blues like Directions Midnight Blue or Neon Blue on myself. I guess that a bit of Deep Purple combined with a blue would counteract the green fade, but since my base wouldn't be pale (and not a bleached blonde in any case) I'd probably end up with a very dark colour.
