Blue hair is bold, vibrant, and oh-so-fun—but it can also be a bit tricky to maintain. Don’t worry, though, we’ve got all the tips and tricks to make sure your blue locks look fresh, stunning, and totally Insta-worthy. Let’s break it down! 🌊✨

Blue FAQ 🤔

How do I avoid turning green?

If you don’t want your blue turning green, make sure you start with a clean, blonde base. Avoid using too much yellow or green undertone hair dye underneath your blue. Keeping your hair a cool blonde or soft pastel helps keep your blue from leaning into green.

Is blue impossible to remove or cover?

Not true! Blue fades into beautiful pastel shades, so it’s actually one of the easiest colors to transition from. If you want to change things up, simply let it fade out with more frequent washing in warm water. If that doesn’t work try making a hair mask with shampoo and Vitamin C to draw out color, just be sure to hydrate your hair after!

What colors are best to use when shifting away from blue?

No matter what color you’re shifting from the color wheel is your best friend. Generally, you want to avoid complimentary colors as they cancel each other out and might turn muddy. The easiest colors that can be used to cover blue are purple and green since they are right next to blue on the color wheel. Check out our blog on using the color wheel for more details!

Maintenance Tips for Blue Hair 💆‍♀️

Maintaining your gorgeous blue hair doesn’t have to be a chore. Here are some of our best tips for keeping your color fresh and vibrant:

• Protect Your Skin: Use gloves and a little Vaseline around your hairline and neckline to avoid staining your skin when applying dye. Trust us, you’ll be thanking us later!🧴🧤

• Cold Water Rinse: After you’ve applied the color, rinse your hair with cold water. This helps seal the color in and minimize fading. (Pro tip!) For your first rinse, try using a kitchen sink instead of the bathtub or shower to avoid any stubborn stains.👌

• Go Easy on Shampooing: Wash your hair less often to prevent fading and rely on dry shampoo to keep your hair fresh between washes.✨

• Color-Safe Products: Always use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners like Resurrected to help preserve your beautiful blue hue. 💦

Coloring with Sorceress: The Blue of Your Dreams ☁️

So, what sets Sorceress apart from our other blues? It’s all in the undertones! This shade is not just any blue – it’s a deep, midnight hue with hints of purple, perfect for those who crave something bold yet mysterious.🌙 Think of it as the midnight sky, with just a sprinkle of magic woven in. Sorceress is deeper and more mysterious than Poseidon 🌊, with rich purple undertones that give it an enchanting vibe.

As Sorceress fades, you'll notice the blue tones gradually soften, revealing a pale pastel blue-purple. 🎆 Since blue pigments tend to fade faster, the overall effect may shift to a delicate silvery-lavender or light violet over time, giving your hair a dreamy, ethereal look even as it lightens.🔮💫
