Blackened Purple Hair
On Sunday I decided to darken my hair. I used Pravana Vivids Violet straight, without cutting it with conditioner, to make my blackened purple hair. I was trying to use up some of the old color in my stash, so I used a generous amount of Ion Color Brilliance Turquoise mixed with Manic Panic Siren’s Song and a drop of Pravana Vivids Green. I did apply Pravana Vivids Wild Orchid to the underside of my hair (and the right section of my fringe).
Blackened Purple Hair
I do really love to see the growth from January until now. It helps to remember (whenever I feel like my hair is growing too slow) that I’ve been growing out a pixie. I’ve got a ton of layers in my hair.
I like the darker color, though it will lighten as I wash it.
What have you done with your hair lately?
LOVE!
Wow! The pixie was so flattering but loving the longer length, too. And the color is STUNNING.
It looks beautiful! I love the red lip, too!
You’re making great progress, although I agree, the hair growing process can be so tedious!
you rock any hair color!!!!
Love how it turned out! I picked up a bunch of manic panic shades on sale and am planning to do something multi-coloured for my next dye.
Thats a ton of grow from a pixie cut! And blues suit you very nicely indeed.
That’s amazing growth! You can definitely rock a pixie but I also like your hair this length.
Your growth is amazing! And I really love your hair color.
I love all your different hair looks! This shade and cut are beautiful. Love the side swept bangs.
I love that pop of Wild Orchid, so pretty! 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this look! You are rocking my favorite color– this is just so beautiful!
That dark purple is so nice for the winter time! Right now I’m rocking an auburn to bright red ombre! My hair is down to my waist, but I think in the spring I’m going to cut it as short at your hair! Love that length 🙂
Super pretty! I’ve been curling my hair more often and trying a few prepping products to help get and hold the look I want. I am officially overdue for a cut and need to get in touch with my stylist to freshen things up. Life needs to slow down so I can find the time! What lip color are you wearing? It looks so smooth and the color is utterly delicious.
That’s Aromi Beauty Matte Liquid Lipstick in Neon Red. I looooove it!
It looks beautiful! That lipstick looks fantastic on you, too.
I got a razor-cut, choppy, super-short bob almost two years ago. I still haven’t grown out all the layers. 🙂
Thank you so much Rachel! I know how it seems to take forever to grow out a bob. On the bright side, the layers give us volume 🙂
The razored ends started frizzing after 6 months or so. I’ve been growing it out, cutting off a few inches, growing it out again, cutting off a few inches, and so on. My hair is past my shoulders by about 4-5 inches now; slightly longer in the back. I did keep layers, they’re just longer now. I definitely need the volume.
Before the bob, it was almost to my butt. I don’t think I’ll let it get that long again. It was a pain to color and wash.
