Purple and Blue Mixed Hair Dye
You don’t need a Ph.D. to achieve this, but pre-lightening is non-negotiable. For vibrant results, your hair needs to be a pale blonde—level 9 or 10. That means bleach, darling.
Most pros recommend using a semi-permanent dye for the blue and a pastel purple. This allows you to experiment without commitment, because let’s be honest, what if you hate being a unicorn?
How To Dye Your Hair Ombre Blue And Purple at Bernadette Oakman blog
If you’re DIY-ing, apply the blue to the roots and mids, then blend the purple into the ends. Use a wide-tooth comb to avoid muddying the colors—think of it as painting, not scrubbing floors.
Pro tip: Wear old gloves and a trash bag cape. Purple and blue stains on your bathroom sink are a universal rite of passage.
Maintenance: Keep the Magic Alive
Here’s the rub: these shades fade fast. Blue loves to turn greenish, and purple goes a weird mauve if you’re not careful. Use sulfate-free shampoo specifically for color-treated hair.
Wash with cold water. Yes, it’s uncomfortable, but your hair will thank you. If you can’t bear it, at least do a cold rinse after your warm wash.
Fun fact: Purple and blue are the largest molecules in the color spectrum, so they cling to hair better than reds or pinks. That’s why they last a whole month—if you treat them right.
For quick touch-ups, use a tinted conditioner or a semi-permanent hair mask. It’s like a protein shake for your color, adding pigment while you condition.
