How to: get rid of Blue tones in Purple Hair
So the main problem of purple hair is the blue tones in it. In order to get rid of these blue tones I decided to try adding a dollop of pink into the mix. And by jove it worked! I went from silvery dull blueish patchy, to wonderfully purple in literally a day!
Basically, get your hair light enough without bleaching it by washing your hair with anti-dandruff shampoo and crushed vitamin C tablets (or vitamin C powder if you're lazy and rich enough to spend £3.65 on powder!). Remember to wet your hair prior so its ready for lathering. Just mix the ingredients into a weird paste and lather like you would any other shampoo (let no strand be unlatherd) once you've done that put your hair up using a clip and drape a towel over your shoulders so the colour wont bleed onto your clothes and its easier to wipe away colour that bleeds down your face. Leave this for an hour or so then rinse out your hair. Do this 2 or 3 times depending on how stubborn the dye is.
Top Tip: if you're thinking of doing your hair a colour similar to that in its palette (pink, blue, purple, red tones) then start washing your hair a couple of days prior to the vitamin C treatment
After I was satisfied with the discolouration, I added my pre-made dye (see other hair dye post) and added a tablespoon of the Cerise colour with Argan Oil and loads of white conditioner, when I was happy with the colour I left it on for 10-15 minutes as the dye is quite bright and strong and I wanted to overlay the blue and pinker tones to get the purple. This has created a tonal colour I am very happy with.
