Additionally, the subtlety of this color means that it can work with any outfit and makeup look, giving you the perfect opportunity to experiment with your style.
However, to find out if this color is your next commitment, you’ll need to, first, be mentally prepared for a drastic change, and second, do your research. You need to look into the different shades of purple hair dye available on the market and find one that best suits your skin tone and hair type. But fret not, as this guide will help you do just that.

Now, if you’ve got your heart set on going purple, there are a few things you need to know before taking the plunge. Let’s get started!
As with any hair color, many shades are available in purple. And just like any other color, certain shades will suit you better than others, depending on your natural hair color, skin tone, and eye color. Here are some of the most popular shades of purple hair dye that you should try:
A beautiful mix between blue and lavender, amethyst purple drives its name from the precious stone of the same color. Although the shade looks stunning, it requires quite a bit of upkeep as it fades relatively quickly. Additionally, if you have naturally lighter hair color, this shade will appear more blue than purple.
A delicate and pale purple color, lilac haze is perfect for those with lighter hair colors who want to experiment with a pastel shade. This shade looks best when paired with an ashy blonde or light brown base color and can be achieved by adding a purple toner to your hair. You can never go too light with this shade, but be warned – it will require a lot of upkeep to keep it looking its best.
And finally, the most purple of them all – pure purple. This shade is perfect for those willing to put in the effort to maintain a look that makes everyone’s heads turn. If you have darker hair, it’s best to lighten your hair before opting for this color. However, once achieved, this shade is sure to make you stand out from the crowd.
Similar to any other fashion statement, your hair color is a way to express yourself and your personality. So, if you like to stand out in a crowd and be different, then dyeing your hair purple is definitely for you. That said, it’s important to remember that not everyone can rock this look and that you must consider your skin tone and hair type before taking the plunge
Amethyst purple hair dye can work with various skin tones and hair types as a rather versatile color. However, it’s important to remember that this shade is on the darker side of the purple spectrum, so if you’re looking for a more subtle hue, this may not be the right shade for you.
Additionally, this color can be a bit tricky to pull off if you have lighter skin, as it can make you look washed out. If you’re set on dyeing your hair this color, we recommend using a toner to help balance out the darkness of the dye.
This shade is perfect for those with lighter skin tones as it adds a touch of color without washing you out. Additionally, this hue is ideal for those looking for a more subtle purple hair color as it’s on the lighter side of the purple spectrum. However, this color can be challenging to pull off if you have darker hair, as it may require multiple bleaching sessions to lift the natural color of your hair.
This shade is perfect for those with darker hair as it adds a pop of color without being too over-the-top. Additionally, this hue is ideal for those looking for a more vibrant purple hair color as it’s a darker shade of purple.

Although purple hair dye can be applied to unbleached hair, it will show up best on hair that has been lightened or bleached. If you’re starting with hair color levels 2-5, you will have to lighten your hair with bleach. Doing so will help the color develop more vibrantly and not have any undertones clashing with it.

With these tips, you should be able to keep your purple hair looking gorgeous for weeks or even months at a time!
Most purple hair dyes will last around 4-6 weeks before needing to be touched up. However, this can vary depending on the dye brand and how well you take care of your hair.
To make your purple hair dye last as long as possible, we recommend using a gentle shampoo and conditioner and avoiding heat styling tools whenever possible. If you do use heat styling tools, be sure to use a heat protectant spray to help keep your color looking vibrant. Employ the use of the tips mentioned above to make your purple hair last!
Purple hair dye can range in color from light lavender to deep, rich violet. The final color results will depend on the shade of purple you choose and your starting hair color. If you have dark hair, you may need to bleach it before applying the purple dye. This will help ensure that the purple color shows up bright and vibrant.
If you have light hair, you may not need to bleach it before applying the purple dye. However, if you want the color to be more vibrant, bleaching your hair first will help achieve this.
No matter what your starting hair color is, test out a small section of hair before committing to the color. This will help you get an idea of the final result and whether or not you like it.
Purple hair is a fun and daring hair color that can make a statement. With the correct shade, you can rock purple hair no matter your starting hair color. With a little effort, you can have gorgeous purple hair that will turn heads everywhere you go!

It happens to the best of us. You’re in the middle of a dye job, and suddenly you realize that your purple hair dye has gone horribly wrong. Don’t worry; we’re here to help! Here’s how to remove purple hair dye from your hair:
Purple dye can be stubborn when naturally fading from your hair. If you’ve ever had blue hair, you’d know the classic green it eventually fades into. Similarly, purple dye also fades to a different color, depending on where you started from.
If you bleached your hair blonde, chances are your purple hair dye will fade to an ashy silver with purple hues. For many people whose hair was slightly warmer, their hair faded into a purple-pink or purple-blue shade until the brown or dirty blonde underneath began to show through.
Purple fades the fastest at the roots, so chances are the ends of your hair still might retain some color while the top of your head begins to fade out. Try to shampoo and style your hair evenly, so the purple fades out without being patchy.
While blue shampoo can help maintain purple hair, it’s not the best option. Purple shampoo is specifically formulated to keep hair looking vibrant and shiny.
Blue shampoo may work for the moment, but it’s not ideal for long-term use. This is because both blue and purple shampoos neutralize two different brassy tones.
No, the purple dye does not tend to stain clothes as the red dye does. If your hair is wet, you may have some color transfer, but it will likely come out in the wash. Therefore you can confidently wear white blouses and shirts with your purple hair.
There’s no definitive answer to this question since everyone’s hair is different and will react differently to black hair dye. However, black hair dye is generally not known to be particularly damaging to hair health.
That being said, it is always important to take good care of your hair and use products suited to your hair type to avoid any damage. If you’re concerned about how black hair dye may affect your hair, we recommend consulting a professional stylist or colorist.
This brings us to the end of our guide. Now you’re fully equipped to pick the best shade of purple for your next hair color. All you need now is to grab some +SmartPlex dye and get straight to dyeing your hair purple.
As long as you have fun, the result will always be worth it. Some of the coolest things to look forward to are
