  Achieving the Perfect Shade Of Pastel Lilac Hair Dye

  The key to achieving the shiniest locks is in the preparation. Here are our top tips for ensuring your hair is prepped for the hair dyeing process:

  • Firstly, it’s important to remember that in order to achieve the prettiest pastel purple result possible you should apply your chosen lilac hair dye to hair that’s been pre-lightened to a level 9 or 10. Pastel dyes are designed for application on white or blonde hair, so if you’re a redhead or brunette, you’ll have to reach for the bleach in order to get a proper pastelised look. The lighter your hair is, the truer the colour result you’ll achieve!
  • Secondly, it’s essential to use toner on your hair to remove any brassy tones. This preparatory step will mean that your hair has an even and light base shade, making it a better ‘canvas’ for applying your lilac hair colour onto.
  • Lastly, make sure that you’ve had any dead or split ends snipped off and that you’ve used a nourishing intensive conditioner to rehydrate your locks.

  Once you’ve got your hair looking and feeling gorgeous, it’s time to apply your lilac hair dye! Remember to read the instructions for each brand as timings and application advice will vary. For example, a lilac hair dye manic panic may be different from Crazy Color. Whether you’re a novice or a dab hand at colouring your locks, your hair will only look as good as your application technique. If you want a salon-worthy, neat result, make sure you follow our pastel dye application guide:

  1. Comb your hair and part on your preferred side. Next, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around your hairline and in and around your ears to prevent staining. Wash your hands, then pop on a pair of disposable gloves to keep your hands protected.
  2. Using a tint brush, begin to apply colour to the roots of your hair, beginning at your parting. Using the end of the tint brush, section your hair every inch or so and apply colour to both sides of the section. Work in one direction all the way to your ear, then go back and do the other side.
  3. Once the roots are done, begin to apply colour to your hairline, beginning in the middle and working around the head until you reach your starting point. Make sure you apply the colour with a steady hand, as dye drips aren’t a great look!
  4. Now it’s time to colour the lengths! Work in sections and bring the dye down through your hair, working from root to tip until each section is fully saturated with dye. Repeat until you have full head coverage, then pop on a plastic development cap to trap the heat in and speed up the development process.
  5. Allow the colour to develop for the time stated on the dye packaging, then remove the cap and rinse the colour out using cool water. Once the hair is free of dye, you can dry and style as normal.

  And there you have it, our complete guide to getting a stunning result with lilac hair dye! No matter whether you opt for a solid application, a lilac hair ombre look or a two tone style such as lilac and silver hair, you can be sure to achieve pastel perfection with our gorgeous range of lilac hair color dyes!

  Lavender

  When it comes to unnatural hair shades, pastel passion is still going strong and there is no shade quite so alluring as lavender hair colour. For those who want to achieve an other-worldly, unnatural hair colour that subtly mesmerises, pastel hair dye is the way forward.

  Plenty of celebs have tried out this soft shade of purple. Actress, Anna Paquin showed off her Instagram worthy lavender locks and we absolutely loved them. Demi Lovato opted for a punk vibe with her new purple ‘do, blending it with other shades of blue and pink. Her rainbow hairstyle can be easily achieved at home by sectioning off your hair before you apply your dye. Nicole Richie was also spotted sporting a short lavender style, proving that this colour can be both fun and sophisticated.

  If you want the best lavender hair dye that will give you the understated, smoky colour of your dreams, trust us when we say that semi-permanent products are the only way to get a true pastel shade outside of the salon.

  Semi-permanent lavender hair colour coats and tints the hair shaft without chemically altering your colour. Of course, you will have to lighten your hair with a bleaching treatment before a semi-permanent dye can give you the pastel shade you want.

  Smoky Purple Hair Dye For Dark Hair

  If you leave your hair one to two weeks between bleaching treatments, it should have enough time to recover. Just remember to give your tresses some serious TLC while you’re waiting. Deeply condition your hair to make sure it is as strong and healthy as possible for applying bleach and hair dye.

  To achieve a true pastel ‘do, you will need to make sure your hair is as light as possible so your natural darker colour doesn’t show through. You may also want to consider using toner on your hair to neutralize the brassy tones that the bleach will have left behind. Starting with a blank canvas is the best way to achieve a gorgeous lavender hue.

  In the event that your lightened hair is not pale enough to use pastel hair dye, all is not lost! Try a dusty purple hair dye for dark hair in a deeper shade, such as Manic Panic’s Amplified Semi-Permanent Hair dye in Deep Purple dream. This gorgeous lilac hair dye is dark enough to cover light brown or yellow hair, while still having the smoky undertones of its lighter, lavender counterpart.

  One final top-tip, if your hair requires a lot of lightening and you’re going for a different pale shade such as pastel pink hair dye, be patient and use a semi-permanent lavender hair colour first. If bleaching your hair has left even a hint of yellow or orange, pastel pink hair dye simply will not cover it. Instead, you’ll find the brassy tones in your hair blend with the pink to create a rose-gold colour, which might be rather beautiful - but it isn’t what you’re going for. We recommend using the palest semi-permanent lavender dye you can lay your hands on (we love Manic Panic Creamtones Perfect Pastel Hair in Velvet Violet) to neutralise the golden tones. Then you can apply your chosen pastel hair dye once the purple has faded out to get the look you want.

  Pastel Lavender Hair Dye Maintenance

  It might be impossible to make extremely light or bright purple hair dye permanent, but there is a lot we can do to make it long-lasting. Pastel hair dye requires a fair amount of maintenance to keep it looking good – but it’s so worth it!

  Here are a few tips which can help you keep your colour fresher for longer:

  1. Choose the best lavender hair dye for hair-health, like La Riche Directions Wisteria or Lilac Hair dye. These wonderful chemical-free conditioning dyes moisturize the hair as they colour it. You’ll be caring for your hair every time you top up your shade. Plenty of our other brands at Dye My Hair, have these same conditioning qualities so make sure to do your brands research before buying.
  2. Find yourself a colour preserving shampoo. This will keep the amount of colour you loose with each wash to a minimum. We stock shampoos and conditioners here at Dye My Hair so you can buy all your products in one place. We would also recommend washing your hair less frequently and in cool water where possible.
  3. Use an old hair dye pot or jar to blend one of your favourite lavender hair colour brands with your usual conditioner. Every time you condition your hair, you’ll be subtly enhancing your colour, keeping it fresh and bright.
  4. Try to avoid using heat on your hair by letting your hair air dry and by styling it without hair straighteners or curling tongs. This will help lock in that gorgeous lavender colour.
  5. Keep some hair dye for later. Save some colour for topping up your roots so you can keep your fabulous new style for longer.

  Dyeing Dark Hair Violet

  Achieving and maintaining a complete violet hair dye look on dark hair can be a bit of a struggle if you don't follow the right steps; it’s certainly an exceptional look for those of you willing to work for it! If you are ready to rock violet black hair dye, we’ve compiled a few handy tips for making the royal colour work for you.

  Preparation – when dying your hair an alternative colour such as purple or violet, which involves bleaching, it is important to protect the impact the colour will have on your hair through thorough conditioning and strengthening. The bleach may weaken the hair, so it is important to use keratin and protein-based products as part of your preparation.

  Bleaching – lightening your hair creates a blank canvas on which the coloured dye can be more easily applied than to dark. It is desirable to lighten hair to a level 9-10 to ensure your natural hair colour does not impact the results of the purple shade. Violet hair dye for dark hair without bleach is a difficult task, so make sure to do your research before colouring and test the bleach product on your skin before a full head application.

  Toning – using a hair toner is a great way of removing any residual brassiness from your hair colour. Using toner products ensures your chosen colour ends up the way you want them, without any stubborn underlying tones – we want your new violet hair tone to look its best!

  After this process, it is completely up to you how you put on your hair dye. Before you begin applying your dye, it is essential to test possible shades for at least 48 hours. This ensures that you are happy with the colour before you cover your head in semi-permanent violet hair dye and gives you the time to change to a different shade.

  Always ensure you know what you are doing before you start, dyeing hair is a task that requires practice and precision. Ask your hairdresser, hair stylist, friends and family for any tips and tricks when dyeing hair at home, it can be risky business when dealing with intense violet hair dye. If it is your first time, ask someone to help you!

  Indigo

  Feeling blue? If you feel that your current wardrobe style is lacking depth, try spicing it up with indigo hair dye to add another, deep and dark dimension. Dark, glossy blue and purple shades look fantastic with most complexions and are easy to achieve on both dark and light natural hair colours when you know how. Dark shades like indigo are also easier to match with clothes compared to bright, fluorescent shades like yellow, pink and green. Blue and purple go well with white, silver, gold, green and brown as well as black, blue and purple.

  Blue hair has been loved and admired since the ancient times when the Egyptians worshipped their gods who had hair the colour of Lapis Lazuli, a semi-precious dark blue rock. In more recent times, blue hair has been a popular phenomenon since the beginning of the 20th century, when a trend started in Paris for vibrant coloured hair of violet, emerald and deep blue in 1913.

  You can create many different styles with indigo dye, from dark winter blue shades to purple/violet indigo shades that perfectly match floral summer dresses in a vintage way. Use streaks of blue and purple in natural black or brunette hair, or bleach your hair first to create an all-over, unmissable shade. Electric blue with dark indigo low-lights is a feminine yet edgy look too. Keep reading to find where to buy indigo hair dye below.

  We think that straight or sleek hairstyles best suit deep purple hair dye shades as it adds another depth to the colour but whatever style you decide to go with, we’re sure you’ll look fab!

  Dyeing hair blue takes guts, especially when you pick such a dark shade like Indigo! Follow the lead of these 3 strong women who weren’t afraid to take a plunge.

  Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams is a lot more glamorous than Arya Stark! She recently changed her short brown hair to indigo hair with semi-permanent blue hair dye. She dyed her hair a dark blue colour, adding sections of black to create an inky look.

  Katy Perry has had a lot of different hairstyles over the years, but one style that lasted longer than her vibrant wigs was a dark, indigo blue hairstyle. She dyed her hair a dark blue colour that you can easily replicate at home, but why not add streaks of deep purple hair dye to give it some individuality?

  Finally, let’s not forget Jessie J. The British singer has rocked indigo hair a few times when it’s not her usual sharp bob that’s fully dyed blue, she’s dip dyeing her brunette ends with dark purple hair dye to create an indigo hair look.

  Where to Buy Indigo Hair Dye?

  There are lots of fantastic hair dye brands available so pick your favourites from this top 3 list and give them a go. Mix and match with streaks or opt for a beautiful ombre look.

  For indigo hair that’s closer to purple than blue, try Crazy Color Hot Purple or Violette shades. Hot purple is a lighter indigo shade, a delightful mix of electric blue and classic purple. Violette, on the other hand, is delightfully dark and cool, similar to their Aubergine shade but with a dash more blue.

  For natural indigo hair dye, look no further than Manic Panic. This hair dye is vegan friendly and easy to apply. After Midnight is a vibrant dark blue shade that reminds us of the sky on a dark, clear night. If you’re looking for a shade that’s closer to purple, you’re spoilt for choice! Deep Purple Dream, Violet Night and Plum Passion are all lovely.
  
  La Riche Directions semi permanent blue hair dye and deep blue shades is especially popular. We’re particularly fond of Atlantic Blue and Plum Purple shades. If you want to mix and match La Riche Directions, try the Atlantic Blue with Midnight Blue and Plum Purple with Dark Tulip for a warmer shade.

  A Short Guide to Dyeing Hair Blue

  Without the proper care and method, you could end up with a mess of hair rather than a sleek indigo hair colour.

  Start by buying all the equipment you need before you begin: bleach, semi-permanent blue hair dye, applicators, mixing bowl and special hair care products. It’s also not a bad idea to buy a cheap towel especially for when you dye hair, so you don’t end up staining your everyday towel.

  If you want a true, solid indigo blue dye colour you’ll need to bleach your hair to level 9 or 10 lightness – even if you’re just doing a dip dye. If you have dark hair and are looking for more of a hair tint, you can skip this step for a more subtle colour.

  Follow the packet instructions, starting with a test patch, then take your time dyeing your hair, making sure every strand is evenly coated.

  Once your hair is looking beautiful, inky and indigo, style it and keep using your protein rich, keratin strong hair products to keep the colour vibrant for as long as possible.

  We think you are going to enjoy showing off your new indigo hair dye. Once you’ve mastered this colour, it might be time to try a new colour or add another shade to your hair. Try emerald greens or a contrasting, luminescent yellow!

With a bit of creativity and proper care you can keep your hair looking vibrant and healthy, here are some great tips to assist you:
