I had my hairstylist put in a streak of purple in my hair. Since I'm on vacation, I figured it would be fun to try something new. Once work starts up again, I can always dye it back to black. Or not!
It's not that noticeable unless I am in the light.
I haven't dyed my hair before. She had to bleach the hair a tiny bit to strip the color, then added the "Purple Passion" hair dye (forgot the brand). The first brand didn't take so I went back later to have another brand put in. This time, you could see it.
Maybe she should have bleached it at 30% instead of 10%, then kept the color in for longer. It was only on the foils for 25 minutes. Gawd, imagine if it was my whole head of hair, this would have taken FOREVER. As it was only a small swatch of hair, I thought it would be a fun experiment to do. It still took about an hour and fifteen minutes. How do all these women carve chunks of time to do highlights and all is beyond me!
Anyhow...that's that!
I love purple!

Very pretty and subtle, being under and not on top-you won't see roots. I like that look on you.
I've used Color Pulse by L'oreal- 'lasts 6 washes'- in the color 'chilled plum' (not sold in stores anymore but I found online) and do the streak under on one side and feel all wild and crazy...the blue washes out first and then it is red...and it stays more than six washes on white hair.
Thank you Cathy! Thanks for the tips on L'oreal's hair color. If I ever redo this streak, I want my stylist to go more extreme! Why not, right? You only live once!
I like the purple streak. My SIL gets her hair done every few weeks and takes 2-3 hours. Eegad!
I love the purple streak! Maybe I should get one to match my wedding colors.=)
