1. Follow directions
Don’t wing it when it comes to at-home hair color. If you want to achieve the effects promised by the shades in the Power Violet collection, follow the directions included in the coloring kit. Used correctly, the collection’s color boosting technology will amp up your color for an amazing new hue.
2. Create a hair care routine for color-treated hair
We love the hairstyles our heat tools can help us achieve but that doesn't negate the fact that overusing flat irons and curling wands can lead to damaged hair. So, why not take a break from heat styling and embrace your natural texture? Give your locks a few spritzes of the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray for a heat-free, wavy ‘do.
Now that you’ve been briefed on how to color your hair a bold violet color, it’s onto the next matter of business: finding the perfect shade of purple for you. Keep clicking for our three purple hair color suggestions.
Let’s be real, regardless of which shade of purple you pick, you’ll end up with an eye-catching look. After all, your hair will be purple! However, certain shades are more in your face than others. A midnight purple color can go both ways. If you have a darker skin tone and naturally dark brown or black hair, an ultra-dark purple shade will actually be a subtler option. On the other hand, if you’re super fair, this color will definitely make you stand out in a crowd. Either way, it’s a stunning look! To try it for yourself, use the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Deepest Violet.
Prefer a purple that’s more warm-toned? Say, something that’s not too far off from the color of your favorite glass of red wine? We know just the thing! It sounds like you want to rock a deep wine hair color, and we can confirm, it’s a super flattering (not to mention sultry) look. We’re in full support of this being your next bold hair color, so go ahead and grab a box of the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Violet Noir.
We’ve told you about two dark shades of purple to try—but what’s one to do if they want a hair color that falls somewhere in between super deep and extremely light? Don’t worry, there’s a bold purple hair color that fits the bill. It sounds like a shining violet shade will be right up your alley. Get the look at home with the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Violet Vixen.
Of course, purple isn’t your only bold hair color option. If you think you might want to try being a ginger instead, head on over to our article, How to Get a Bold Red Hair Color.
