If you’ve ever wished to add some magical touches to your style, and you love blue or purple color, adding them to your hair will make a personality statement for itself. It can make your hair look like a colored cotton candy you’d eat as a child on a fair.
It can also make you look like a mythical mermaid. Blue has a very calming psychological effect, while purple has been associated with luxury and wisdom. There is no doubt that a mix of blue and purple will bring out traits of your inner magical fantasy.
It’s a very mesmerizing combination of colors to go for. Although there is a range of hues to choose from when it comes to these 2 colors, what we usually see is either pastel or brighter shades. The main rule is: there are no rules. There is no right way, you can choose to do highlights with multiple colors, or balayage with two colors, or you can just dye your ends a certain shade…whatever you want!
How to Choose the Right Shade for Me?
Choosing the right shade of color will depend on the tone of your skin. If you have lighter skin, lighter colors will suit you better, as for darker skin, darker shades would look best. Both blue and purple are considered cold colors, and there is an array of shades varying from a bright baby blue to dark deep blue, and also green or teal nuances.
How to Achieve the Shade I Want?
Achieving these bright colorful tones will also depend on your base color. Blue and purple are not naturally found in hair, so it takes a bit of knowledge and skill to achieve them. Usually, if you have lighter-colored hair, it will be easier for you to obtain a lighter and brighter nuance of blue and purple. However, if you have darker hair, the blue and purple will look much darker on your hair.
For those reasons, hairstylists usually need to bleach your hair in order to achieve the exact shade you want. If you already have dyed your hair a certain color, you will probably need to strip down that color before you bleach it and then color it blue or purple. On the other hand, if your hair is bleached and you want to obtain a darker shade of blue and purple, the hairstylist may decide to mix blue and purple with some darker shades in order to get you what you want.
How to Maintain the Color
Blue color can also turn green with time, which can be fixed by using purple shampoo. It may be also worth mentioning that these colors, even though they fade easily, are hard to take out of your hair if you choose to go brown or blond, which is even harder. It’s important to take good care of your dyed hair by using a color-safe shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner. Using a hair mask once per week is also a must if you’ve bleached your hair.
A fix-up is usually needed every 4 weeks, depending on the shade of colors you have. Be sure to consult with your hairstylist on what to use on your hair if you’re going to the pool or sea since chlorine, salt, and sun can make your color fade more quickly. It is also recommended not to wash your hair more than 2 times a week, since it will shade much faster with each wash.
