To be attractive and fashionable is the natural desire of every girl. On dark hair, you can make purple strands - it is very beautiful and unusual. In this article, we will talk about who suits this color of curls, what coloring options are popular, and how to care for dyed hair.
Who is it for?
Shades of purple go to almost everyone, regardless of age and physique. But there are important nuances in the selection of colors:
- girls of the Nordic type will use lilac highlighting if there is no desire to completely transform into a brunette;
- dark-skinned or dark-skinned brunettes will suit any purple shades;
- but girls with yellowish skin need to choose a shade very carefully - unsuccessfully dyed hair visually spoils the complexion;
- Partial hair dyeing techniques are considered the most advantageous; black hair with a purple tint also looks beautiful.
Men are better off refraining from such bold experiments. Girls should not act under the influence of emotions. The violet color is non-standard, and before you take it for permanent armament, try first using a tinted shampoo, crayons or spray.
After all, no one guarantees that you will like the color, and it will be very easy to wash it off.
Staining options
Currently, there are many ways to partially dye your hair, Here are the most winning options.
- Toning of the main color. Achieved by the use of coloring toners or toning shampoos. This technique allows you to give curls a beautiful purple tint.
- Highlighting. Individual strands are painted, the thickness of which can vary from very thin to thick. Naturally, the number of colored curls is inversely proportional to their thickness. If the strands are thick, their number ranges from one to ten. The number of small ones depends on the density of your hairstyle. This method is used both for coloring short haircuts and long curls.
- Ombre. With this coloring method, not all hair is dyed, but about half - starting from the middle, and gradually increasing the color intensity to the ends. This technique is designed for long hair.
- Balayazh. If during highlighting separate strands are stained along the entire length, from roots to ends, then with this method the roots are not touched. The strands are selected in a chaotic order, often several shades of purple are used, close to the main color of your hair. At the same time, the volume and density of the hairstyle visually increases.
- Coloring only ends. In this case, any shades can be used - both light lilac and dark violet.
How to care for curls?
After coloring the hair, care must be taken with special care, especially for people with thin and weakened curls. Remember that staining violates the structure of the hair and can adversely affect their health.
When washing your hair, be sure to use conditioners and hair balms.
Nutritional masks, such as egg-honey, are highly desirable. If you bleached your curls before painting, moisturizing masks become practically necessary. Baths and masks with natural oils: argan, burdock and others are very useful. Here is an example of such a recovery mask with argan extract:
- take one egg yolk and beat it with a teaspoon of argania extract;
- pour 2 teaspoons of olive oil into this mixture and add a few drops of lavender and sage oils;
- apply the mask to the hair, gently rubbing it into the roots;
- wrap your head with foil, and on top with a towel and hold for 40 minutes.
- rinse off after this time.
Use special shampoos for dyed hair - so you keep the bright color of your hairstyle longer. Their use is especially relevant if you initially had light curls - often with such a radical repainting, the new color does not hold or begins to wash off unevenly.
