Dark Purple Hair Color

Purple Madness is exactly what it sounds like - a bold, vibrant violet-purple that absolutely pops on any hair level. This shade is for the purple lovers who want to make a statement!

The fade journey: Purple Madness mellows out into a lighter, cool-toned lavender, giving you that perfect purple-to-pastel transformation that's both dramatic and soft at the same time.

FAQ: Your Purple Hair Questions, Answered!

How long does purple hair take to fade?

Purple hair color typically starts showing fade after 4-6 weeks, but the timeline totally depends on your hair porosity, how often you wash it, and your hair care routine. Some people see subtle changes in just 2 weeks!

What's the hardest color to get out of hair?

Generally speaking, darker and more saturated colors like deep purples and blues tend to stick around longer than lighter, pastel shades.

Why does purple hair fade to green?

This usually happens when purple mixes with yellow tones in your hair. If your base isn't light enough or has brassy undertones, the blue in purple + yellow = green! Always make sure your hair is properly lightened first.

How do you keep purple hair from fading?

Use cold water when washing, invest in color-safe shampoo, limit wash days, use UV protection, and consider making a DIY hair color-depositing mask to refresh your shade between dye jobs!

Oops! Did your purple hair experiment go a little too wild? Or maybe that gorgeous amethyst shade just isn't vibing with your current mood anymore? Don't panic, babe – we've all been there! 

Whether you're dealing with an accidental purple mishap or just ready for a fresh new look, your hair color besties at Arctic Fox have got your back. 

Let's dive into all the tried-and-true ways to say "bye-bye" to that purple and get you back to your dream shade!

Color Wheel Theory: The Science Behind the Magic

Here's where we get a little nerdy (but in a fun way!). 

Yellow and purple are total opposites on the color wheel – like that friend who's always arguing with you but somehow makes perfect sense. When these two colors meet, they literally cancel each other out!

Depending on how deep and dramatic your purple is, yellow hair dye can help tone it down, making it way more neutral or less in-your-face vibrant. 

If you're going for that natural, effortless vibe, consider a warm brown with golden or orangey undertones – it's like giving your purple a cozy hug that neutralizes it beautifully.

Other Game-Changing Options for Removing Purple Hair Dye

Clarifying Shampoo: Your New BFF

Think of clarifying shampoo as your hair's personal trainer – it works hard to fade that color over time! 

We're talking about washing your hair more often (yeah, we know, high maintenance life) with warm water to pull out as much color as possible. 

Just don't forget to follow up with a deep conditioner after each wash because nobody wants dry, straw-like hair. Your locks need that moisture love!

DIY Vitamin C Hair Mask: Kitchen Chemistry at Its Finest

Periwinkle toned to blonde

Got some stubborn purple that just won't quit? Time to raid your medicine cabinet! Here's how to make this color-lifting magic:

What you'll need:

• 15-20 colorless vitamin C tablets 

• 2-3 tablespoons of clarifying shampoo

• Warm water

How to work this magic:

1. Crush those vitamin C tablets into a fine powder

2. Mix with your clarifying shampoo and just enough warm water to make a paste

3. Apply to damp hair and let it sit for 30-60 minutes

4. Rinse thoroughly and condition like your hair's life depends on it

Why it works: Vitamin C is basically an acid that breaks down hair dye molecules. Science is cool, right?

Bleach Bath: Proceed with Caution, Queen

Bleach baths are like the gentler cousin of straight-up bleach, but they can still be a little spicy for your hair cuticles and in some cases cause color staining. 

Always, always do a strand test first and consult with our color experts – trust us on this one!

How to do a bleach bath:

1. Mix equal parts bleach powder, developer (20 or lower), and shampoo

2. Apply to towel-dried, damp hair, making sure it's evenly distributed

3. Process for 10-15 minutes, checking every 2-5 minutes (set those phone timers!)

4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then shampoo to get every last bit of bleach out

5. Follow up with a hydrating hair mask because your hair just went through it

Hair Color Remover: The Less Scary Option

Purple Madness fading to platinum blonde

This method is like the middle child – less risky than bleach but more effective than just shampooing. 

Hair color removers are specifically designed to break down dye, but make sure you're using the right one for your hair type (semi-permanent vs. permanent makes a difference!). 

Always follow those instructions like they're gospel, and don't skip the hydrating serum afterward.

Follow the Color Wheel to Cover Purple: The Safe Route

Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one! If you want to avoid damage and aren't married to a specific color, just go darker or play with neighboring shades. 

Black will completely cover purple, while blues and reds can help you transition to something totally new. 

This is hands down the safest, least damaging, and most user-friendly way to move on from your purple hair phase.

We're always here cheering you on through every hair transformation! 💜✨

So you've gone blonde, but now you're dealing with those annoying yellow tones? Don't panic! Your besties are here with all the tea on how to transform that brassy blonde into the cool, ashy shade of your dreams. 

This isn't rocket science, just a few tricks that'll have you serving ice queen vibes in no time!

Why Does Hair Turn Yellow? 

Hair turns yellow mainly due to oxidation, sun exposure, and mineral buildup from hard water. When you bleach your hair, it's actually revealing the underlying warm pigments that naturally exist in your strands - those stubborn yellow tones are what's left behind after the bleach lifts your natural color! 

Over time, these yellow tones become more noticeable as your bleached hair continues to oxidize. Heat styling tools and chlorine from pools can accelerate this yellowing process too. 

Basically, your blonde is constantly fighting environmental factors that are trying to turn it into a yellow mess, it's like your hair's own little battle against the elements!

What Color Toner Neutralizes Yellow Hair?

Purple toner is your bestie for neutralizing yellow hair! This works because purple sits opposite yellow on the color wheel, so it cancels out those brassy tones when applied. Look for purple shampoos, conditioners, or professional toning treatments depending on how intense your yellowing is. 

For a DIY hack that seriously works, mix a tiny dot of Arctic Fox's Purple AF, Girls Night, or Periwinkle semi-permanent dye into your regular shampoo or conditioner. You will have created an instant custom purple toning product without the salon price tag! 

For subtle warmth, a weekly purple treatment might do the trick, but for that "I just left the salon" cool blonde, you might need a more concentrated purple formula to kick those yellow tones to the curb.

Say Goodbye to Yellow and Hello to Ash!

Yellow tones can be stubborn little devils, but with the right approach, you can banish them for good. 

Whether you're a DIY queen or a salon regular who needs some maintenance between appointments, we’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide that actually works.

Step 1: Wash That Yellow Away

First things first, let's try the gentlest approach before bringing in the big guns. Sometimes those yellow tones are just buildup that needs a good cleanse!

• Start washing your hair more frequently with warm (not hot!) water

• Switch to a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup that might be causing discoloration

• Make sure to follow up with our Pool Party Hair Mask to replenish moisture because nobody wants straw-like strands, am I right?

• Massage that mask in, leave for 5-10 minutes, and rinse with cool water

Trust us, this simple step makes a HUGE difference for some blondes, and your hair will thank you for the hydration boost!

Step 2: DIY Vitamin C Treatment

If those yellow tones are as stubborn as your ex who keeps watching your Instagram stories, it's time to try this miracle worker!

• Crush up about 5-10 vitamin C tablets into a fine powder

• Mix the powder with your regular shampoo until it forms a paste

• Apply the mixture to damp hair, focusing on the yellowest areas

• Cover with a shower cap and let it sit for 30-60 minutes

• Rinse thoroughly and follow up with our Money Hunny Serum to restore shine and hydration

This vitamin C trick is literally life-changing and works by gently stripping away color molecules that cause yellowing. Your hair might feel a bit dry afterward, but that's why the Money Hunny Serum exists, bestie!

Step 3: Purple Power to the Rescue

Now for the main event! Purple is yellow's opposite on the color wheel, which means it neutralizes those brassy tones like magic. Choose the right purple product based on your specific yellow situation:

• Periwinkle: Our pastel blue with purple undertone hair dye is perfect for darker yellow tones that lean orange. Mix Periwinkle with conditioner and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.

• Girls Night: THE holy grail for achieving that ashy platinum look. Dilute our pastel purple hair dye, Girls Night, with conditioner and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

• Purple AF: For darker blondes, mix 1-2 drops of Purple AF with your regular conditioner for a gentle toning effect without going overboard.

Pro tip: Always wear gloves when applying purple products unless you want purple-stained nails for your date night! 

Also, don't leave these products on too long, or you'll end up with lavender hair color (cute, but probably not the look you're going for!).

Step 4: Prevention is Key

Once you've achieved that perfect ashy tone, let's keep it that way, shall we?

• Avoid chlorine like it's your toxic ex! If you must take a dip, apply our Pool Party hair mask for protection before diving in

• Apply our OG Hair Perfume, which not only smells like our famous grape scent, but it also doubles as a UV protectant to prevent sun damage

• Use cold water for final rinses to seal the cuticle and lock in your color

Remember: maintaining that perfect ash tone is a marathon, not a sprint. A little maintenance goes a long way!

FAQs About Toning Yellow Hair

How often should I tone my hair?

 Listen to your locks! Most people need to tone every 2-3 weeks, but if you're using purple hair treatments 1-2 times a week as maintenance, you might stretch that even longer.

Can I tone my hair too much?

Yes, babe! Over-toning can lead to dryness and even a purple cast. If your hair starts looking dull or lilac-tinted, take a break from toning products.

Will toning damage my already-processed hair? 

When done correctly, toning is much gentler than bleaching. Always follow with deep conditioning treatments to keep your hair healthy.

Can I go from golden blonde to ash blonde at home? 

Absolutely! As mentioned above, there are a few ways to do this, like washing your hair with clarifying shampoo, using a vitamin C hair mask, and using purple hair toning products!

But be patient, it might take a few sessions to reach your desired level of ashiness.

What if purple products aren't working? 

You might need a stronger professional toner with blue tones if you're dealing with orange-yellow hues. Consider messaging our color specialists if purple products aren't cutting it.

Ready for Your Ash Blonde Journey?

That's it, bestie! From one blonde to another, trust us when we say that achieving and maintaining ash blonde hair isn't as complicated as the internet makes it seem. With these simple steps and the right products, you'll be serving cool-toned realness in no time!

How to Choose the Perfect Purple Hair Color

Finding your dream purple hair color depends on several factors:

Skin Undertones: Cool purples (lavender and periwinkle) complement cool skin tones, while warmer purples (plum and wine) flatter warmer complexions. But honestly, these are just a guide, so if you have a warmer complexion but want lavender hair, we say GO FOR IT! 

Current Hair Level: Depending on your ideal shade of purple, you might need to lighten your darker strands for vibrant results, while lighter bases (level 9/10) show purples more easily. Try our Bleach Please Bleaching Kit to get the right hair level for your desired shade.

Commitment Level: Some purple shades fade faster than others. Consider if you want something that lasts, like dark purple, or something you can change up frequently, like pastel purple.

Maintenance: Deeper purples generally require less upkeep than pastel purples, which may need more frequent application. Make sure to use cold water and color-safe hair care products to extend the longevity of your purple hair color!
