- How To Get Beautiful Purple Hair With Purple Hair Dye
Purple hair definitely makes a bold style statement, although it might not be the best shade for the workplace. Try out a crazy and outrageous hair color like purple hair and transform your look. Try on a rocker or Goth style with different hairstyles and purple hair dyes, spike up your hair or try a Mohawk in this makeover game.
Emos usually dye hair dark-black and perhaps highlight the tips of hair with purple or blue. The hair might be colored entirely or in parts. Nevertheless dying hair blue or purple in parts is more than popular. It might be colored in layers or just the tips can be covered. Some other favorite styles are highlighting tips, bangs or layers.
Here are some basic steps to find out how to get that perfect violet hue –
Part your hair so that all the hair two inches above your ears all around your head is in one ponytail. You could either do it yourself or take your friend’s help. All the hair that is on the crown of your head should be in this ponytail.
- Make another ponytail with the hair that is below the top of the ear or the hair on the bottom is pulled back in the back with one ponytail.
- You need to undo the top ponytail if you are dying your hair purple. Part your hair so that on the sides of your head you have a two inch “box” of hair at each tendril. So, now you should have four ponytails if you are dying your hair. The top section of your head is one ponytail and you will dye that platinum blonde.
- Dye your hair on the bottom jet black. Make sure you have a friend do this for you. Use an old towel to avoid messing up good towels with black hair dye. Make sure you condition, rinse and blow dry the hair when it is done.
- Dye your hair Platinum Blonde on the top. Make sure you have a friend do this for you. Make sure you condition, rinse and blow dry the hair when it is done. Make sure you avoid the two “boxes” of hair that you will later dye purple. You may want to braid that hair and then wrap that hair with gauze or a paper towel to keep if from soaking up the blonde dye.
- Unbraid and dye your hair purple on the sides according to the instructions on the bottle. Make sure you have a friend do this for you. Use an old towel to avoid messing up good towels with purple hair dye. Make sure you condition, rinse and blow dry the hair when it is done.
Things to be kept in mind before going for purple hair color:
1. Attending a family occasion or a job interview round the corner, that wacky purple hair is a big NO for you. Do you agree??? If yes then think twice if there is a family wedding or a serious job interview looming in your future, this may not be the best time to whip out the purple hair dye. Even if you use a temporary color that is supposed to wash out, there is a chance your hair will have a purple cast to it for quite some time.
1. Be ready to be stared at! After getting purple hair color, be ready to be centre of attraction wherever you will go. If you think it would be annoying to be constantly referred to as, “The one with the purple hair,” then re-think whether to dye or not.
2. Purple hair dyes, and all other intense colors, bleed. So there are fair amount of chances that you will dye parts of your skin, some clothing and some towels as well. The color will take some time to fade out from your skin. The towels and clothing used for few days will get permanent stains.
4. Do you have someone to help you? If you have decided you can handle all these issues and want to try purple hair dye, get a friend to help you. Trying to dye your hair yourself is a messy challenge.
Tips –
When all the colors on your head have been dyed what you are going to do is to curl your hair using the normal products that you use when you use a curling iron. These products are different for each woman as some may use hair pomade, gel, or mousse on their hair.
The way that you are going to curl your hair is you are going to set your hair in long barrel curls on the curling iron. The hair is styled so that the top of the hair is straight but the ends of the hair are very curly in large spirals or barrel curls at the end of the hair. In this way the hair is flat on the top and straight and very curly on the bottom and it looks cute.Do your hair with attitude girlie!

- Help, I Want My Hair To Grow
Hair has an overwhelming importance in many cultures. It is seen as a crown of beauty, shaped to create beautiful things, and even adorned with jewels to highlight its magnificence. In Western cultures, hair styles, cuts, and care pervades fashion, style, and even health magazines, all seeking to pump a new product or an adventurous celebrity hair cut. Yet, despite our endless search for the ultimate hair fitness or the perfect hairdo, men and women alike often find their hair in shambles, destroyed from gels, mousses, sprays, heat styling, and bad cuts from over zealous stylists. Before you read another Allure's best article, borage yourself with new drugstore products, or quote the newest celebrity stylist hair tip, here are some myths and truths about hair and hair care.
As a trichologist and former cosmetic chemist, I have heard and, unfortunately, seen some of the hair and scalp horror stories. While I champion personal grooming and loving and discovering your hair, brilliant hair care should not come at a risk to your hair or scalp health. Here are some things that you should be know.
Truth # 1 Your Hair is Dead, But Your Scalp and the Hair Follicles that Push From the Scalp are ALIVE
Secretly, the most top reputed cosmetic companies will tell you that there is nothing you can do to remedy your hair woes because in reality the hair is dead. And, frankly, this is true if you are using about 98% of the products on the synthetic or non-prescriptive products on the market. Generally, all products are virtually the same, so much that they are created by the same companies and masked under different brands. For example, Estee Lauder is Aveda, Origins and Bumble & Bumble. Loreal is made by the same company as Matrix, Mizani, The Body Shop, Keratese, Garnier, Soft Sheen Carson, Redken, Lancome and Nexxus. This list goes on forever and generally all the products contain the same chemically derived ingredients in a different concentrations. The only difference is the packaging, the fragrance, the chemical dye of the product, or the list of extracts dashed inside. Because many consumers buy frequently off of packaging, they are often duped and run into buying the same products under different names over and over. This causes you to feel that there is nothing that you can do to help your hair, and the message is only hammered home when someone tells you that your hair is dead, your hair cannot repair itself, your hair cannot grow.
But, what you must remember is that scalp health and the providing of nutrients to the scalp is critical for healthy tresses. The hair at the scalp root is quite alive. Have you ever pulled a hair from your scalp? It hurts quite a bit because that is hair is hooked to the follicle and is receiving nourishment from the follicle, which is receiving its nourishing from what is applied to the scalp and what you give the body internally. However, if you feed you hair what it needs to thrive, as it sprouts, its health will show. So what can you do?
TIP# 1 Eat for your hair and overall body scalp.
I have discovered that patients who are often plagued repeatedly with dry scalp and scalp fungus have anti-inflammatory difficulties and dry skin overall. Introduce moisturizing and anti-inflammatory supplements into your diet, such as Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Biotin, Olive Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Pantothenic Acid, and Green Tea. I have truly seen tremendous results in patients' hair and scalp shine, texture, health, and moisture within 4 weeks of changing their diet or adding oils rich in essential fatty acids to their daily supplement cocktail. To further increase the health of the hair and scalp, apply oil rich products that are water based to your scalp. Yes, oils have gotten a harsh wrap in hair care, but in many cultures, especially those with luxurious hair, oils are a necessary requirement. As an Indian myself, Amla, Brahmi, Coconut, Neem, and many other oils are in daily application to my hair to maintain its beauty. I personally love Beauty 4 Ashes' Mango Scalp Nourish Hair Cream and their Ayurvedic Scalp Food Cream. These creams are lightweight and very soothing to the scalp, especially if you are not comfortable mixing oils yourself and have trouble styling your hair after the application of the oil. A few of my patients have also documented increased hair fullness after increasing their intake of fruits, oils, and nuts and applying Beauty 4 Ashes' Ayurvedic Scalp Food Cream, which can be found in the UK at mybeauty4ashes.com.
Truth # 2 Your Hair Can Grow if You Do Not Cut It
I love the versatility of long hair, and many others do as well. But, there is also beauty in a wonderful cut. Yet, many of my patients come to me expressing deep sadness about their hair thickness or length. I often hear them stating that they desire longer hair, but their hair cannot grow and when it does, their stylist cuts it because it has some form of splitting ends or breakage. It often strikes me as absurd. In India, I went years without hair cuts. It was simply braided or just worn. Further, individuals who have dreadlocks may cut their hair very infrequently, and may even burn the ends of the hair to create uniformity and neatness, yet their hair still increases length. I desire more than anything to dispel this lie. You hair can grow without frequents trims to it. While it may grow uneven or even have some splitting, this is common because each hair that sprouts from the hair follicle is on its own timeline. Since some sprouted yesterday and some today, of course they will be different lengths and may split. But, since the hair grows from the root, not the end, your hair can grow, even if you do not cut the end.
Tip #2: If you want your hair to see more length, do not cut your hair, instead nourish it gently to prevent as much damage as possible.
If you want your hair to grow, and you plan on not trimming it, understand that it may not look celebrity like—perfectly even and shaped. But, it still can have volume, shine, and health. During this time, make sure you moisturize the ends, using something as simple as Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Lanolin Butter, or even natural hair cream. Natural works best for the hair. Because your hair is a part of you, and you work best on natural nutrients, such as vitamins, proteins, oils, nuts, and the like, it is best to give your hair what you would give your body. Make sure you gently comb your hair during this time as well. This will prevent breakage. And, as mentioned above, do not neglect your scalp.
Truth # 3: Chemicals can hurt the hair
Natural works best for the hair. Because your hair is a part of you, and you work best on natural nutrients, such as vitamins, proteins, oils, nuts, and the like, it is best to give your hair what you would give your body. Products that contain chemicals can create amazing momentary effects. But, they are only hair bandages that use silicones, polymers, plasticizers, straighteners, softening agents, and chlorides to alter the feel and look of your hair for a very temporary period. For this sweet moment of gratification, you often live with years of hair damage or have to endure chemicals that canb negatively impact your health. A constant scalp condition I encountered due to chemicals is purple and red bumps on the scalp from chemical hair dyes. I also often see thick patches of the scalp from the repeated use of shampoos containing SLS, Behetrimonium Chloride, and ALS. Despite the hoorah about chemicals not being bad, many of the chemicals used in hair care products are derived from petroleum or alcohol. Petroleum is toxic and alcohol is very drying and damaging.
Tip #3 Buy Natural, Change Your Hair
Salon quality and great products can be found with all natural products. Of course, be cognizant of semi natural products and those that use parentheses to indicate something is derived from a natural ingredient. 100% natural products are out there. And, if anyone tries to discourage you, and they will (I had a patient tell my that Paula someone wrote about how herbs, fruits, and oils are awful for your hair —how absurd the things we will believe), just ignore them. As a trichologist, I am personally privy to the reality that over 25% of pharmaceutical products are made of plant compounds. As doctors, we search from cures to the hair, skin, and body from rain forests and then apply for the patent, label it as a drug, and rename the plant so that our consumers are not privy to the plant origins. Trust me, your hair will behave better by using natural products. Aubrey Organics and Beauty 4 Ashes make excellent 100% natural products. If you have specific hair care needs, Beauty 4 Ashes has more variety in its product selection and makes products that are suitable for all hair types.

- New Hair Color Ideas
A powerful hair color says everything about you. Don't be afraid of trying out some new shades, in edgy mixes that will emphasize your creativity. Changing your hair color is the easiest way to upgrade your appearance and show some attitude. It is safer than chopping your hair off, but it's just as strong in changing your style as a new haircut.
Bold Colors
You can opt for the strong hues, to create the most eye-catching looks. It is a style designed for strong personalities, who aren't afraid of showing their attitude. Go for extra hot reds and match it to a mysterious fairy skin tone that will add a touch of innocence in your look.
Incredible purple hues can add glamorous accents to a dark shaded hair, creating visual effects and a sophisticated appearance. This way, you can stay in the “play-it-safe” zone, yet having a modern hairstyle.
Citrus hues are a new craze, with all its retro background of the neon disco colors. Yellow and orange are some edgy colors that can be extra edgy or soft shaded, but creating an incredible contrast each time.
Natural Shades
If you don't want to go into extremes, you can upgrade your hairstyle with some simple natural shades. With some subtle highlights for example, you can add a new dimension to your hair. Placing the highlights and choosing the right color is essential, so if you want to make sure it will turn out exactly as you want it to, you should go to a professional. Never choose a shade that's more than two shades lighter than your hair color. This way, you will get a shiny, healthy looking hair with an extra volume added.
Two Tone Hair Colors
If you want to get an edgy style, yet a versatile one that can be styled in a good girl look, you can go for the two toned hairstyles. Starting from the most edgy hues, and till the natural accents, the two toned hairstyles can match any personality and any style. You just need to choose the shades that can keep you confident about your look and complement your skin tone and face shape with some haircuts that will also emphasize your new colors.

- Beauty Tips - Funky Hair Color
Sometimes, you don't want to look as sophisticated as you do "fun" or "funky". Whether you are getting all dressed up for halloween, mardi gras, new years or a rock concert- there are times when you might want to have a little fun with your hair and go out with a funky hair color that you would never be seen in otherwise!
Funky hair color can give you an opportunity to express yourself and turn yourself loose. The freedom to change the color of your hair or even dye it multicolored is great. However you will need to take a few safety precautions so that you make sure you don't damage your hair. When applying hair color be sure to follow the instructions written on the box to the dot.
Lucky for you, there are hundreds of products on the market right now that allow you to temporarily change the color of your hair to something fun and young- like blue, pink, purple, red, yellow, orange- or even a combination of colors! Not only can you change your hair color for an evening to something wild, but there are even hair accessory products that glow in the dark- perfect for concerts and outdoor night events or Halloween!
Spray Paint Hair
No, we're not suggesting you run out and buy spray paint at the hardware store to color your hair! There are numerous companies that offer hair spray in various colors. You just style your hair as you want it, and spray it with the colored hair spray to get the desired effect.
Colored hairspray will only last until your next shampoo, so you can really live it up with a wild color and have no regrets later!
Cream Hair Color
Some funky hair colors come in a jar and are either a cream substance or a gel. Cream hair colors are made with a lot of conditioning product as well, so it is better for your hair than many other types of coloring products. Gel hair color tends to last longer than cream.
Both cream and gel hair colors are applied using either your hands, in the same way you would shampoo your hair only you leave the product on for a specific length of time to get the results you're after; or you can use a brush to "paint" it on.
Glow in the Dark Hair
As if having bright purple hair was crazy enough, you can also get the funky hair colors in glow in the dark versions. Change the color of your entire hair temporarily to glow in the dark for an ultra-glowing effect; or just paint on a few strands here and there for a shocking look that would be great for rock concerts and Halloween parties!
Spray on hair color should be washing off as soon as you are done. Leaving on this type of hair color for longer than required can damage your hair. Permanent hair color should be avoided if you don't intent on looking multicolored after the weekend comes to an end. Be sure to first test out the color on a small part of your hair to see if it agrees with you, before you apply it on a larger area of your hair.

- Homemade Tips For Hair Dyes
Take henna powder, around 4-5 tbsp if you want to apply it only around the area which has gray hair and more if you want to apply to your entire scalp. Make a thin paste of henna powder by adding juice of lemon, a tbsp of curd, a tsp of coffee powder (optional), the water of tea leaves and amla mixture which you prepared earlier. Add ½ tsp of mustard oil in this mixture to avoid dryness. Leave this mixture in an iron vessel for about 2 hours. During winter season you add a finely grounded paste of 2 cloves to elude cold. Apply the mixture on the hair carefully, cover gray hair completely. Leave this on for about 3-4 hours. (Some prefer to keep it overnight.) Then rinse off with water.
Mix coffee powder in the water and make a paste of henna with the water. Beat the egg yolk and mix this into henna. Also add brandy to it. Apply the paste and leave it on for 3-4 hours before washing it with lukewarm water.
If your goal is to cover grey hairs, try making a mixture of rosemary and sage. Mix the ingredients in water and allow them to simmer for about a half hour. Once it has simmered, remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to steep for a few hours. Apply to the hair and let it dry completely. Then wash and rinse your hair with your normal shampoo. When it has dried, you will see the results. If you want the hair darker, make another mixture and repeat the process.
Take 3 parts of litharge and 2 of quicklime, mix thoroughly; keep in a well stopped bottle. When used mix with water or milk, apply to the hair, and envelope in an oil-skin cap fur 5 or 6 hours.
The only things I can think of are peroxide and bleach for blonde, but both are not so good for your hair. Beet juice tends to stain your hands, but it would probably make your hair purple and come out the next time you wash it.
Dish washing soap can effectively remove hair dye stains, especially when mixed with either baking soda or lemon juice. Simply rub over the area until the stains fade. If you want to be a red head, consider using kool aid for your homemade hair dye. This gives a very vibrant shade of red, depending on how it is done. Mix the powder with a little water and apply to the hair. Allow the mixture to sit on the hair. The timing will depend on how bright you want the color. You can reapply this mixture if you want the red to be a darker shade.
Milk Mask is one if the easiest and cheapest mask. Moist some cotton wool with milk and rub it on the face. Avocado is a naturally affluent moisturizer. Mush the meat of the avocado into a creamy texture. Massage into the face and neck. Leave on for 15 minutes and gently wash off. The best face mask made included fresh pineapple, organic oats and acacia honey. Take 3 tablespoons of oats and blend in mix till a fine powder. Add in a tablespoon of honey and three big slices of pineapple sheared into small pieces. Blend until a fine paste. Apply with a mask brush and retire for fifteen minutes - it may cause blemishes to tingle slightly but this is okay. Rinse with warm water.
