Dark Purple Hair Tips
Look at the chart below for tips and tricks to know before and after you dye your hair dark purple.
| Dark Purple Hair Tips | Information |
| Tip 1: Hair products | If you go from dark to light in hair color, you will have to bleach your hair. Bleaching is hard on the hair, so make sure you have hair masks and oils to replenish moisture and prevent further breakage. |
| Tip 2: Choosing a shade for your complexion | The great thing about dark purple is that there are many shades that you can derive from it. These shades will either be cool or warm-toned. The rule of thumb goes to choose a hair color that is the same as your undertones, aka if you are cool-toned, dye your hair a cool-toned, and if you are warm-toned, dye your hair a warm tone. |
| Tip 3: Use a clarifying shampoo | Before heading to the salon, ensure you wash your hair a day before with a clarifying shampoo. This way, you eliminate all the product build-up, giving the color a better chance of grasping onto the hair shaft. Your stylist might do this for you, but better safe than sorry. |
| Tip 4: Use proper tools at home | If the salon isn’t in the cards for you and you decide to dye at home, it’s imperative that you use the proper tools, or you might be disappointed by the results.
