Just remember, you don’t need to follow your own instructions to dye your hair purple, we’ll help you with that. How to prepare purple hair dye for dark hair at homeTo ensure you achieve the aesthetic (and shade of purple hair color) you want, take these few steps before opening up that color box. 1. Perform a strand testApply a small amount of hair dye onto a strip of your hair and leave on for about 20 minutes, depending on the brand. If the color matches your expectations, and if your hair agrees with the dye, time to color the rest of your head. 2. Perform a patch testPatch test behind your ear or on the skin on your inner elbow. Why? Most hair dye brands contain this ingredient called paraphenylenediamine or PPD. It is irritating at the very least and causes a serious allergic reaction at worst.
If you don’t experience any allergic reactions (swelling, difficulty breathing, feeling faint, or feeling nauseated) then you’re good to go.
3. Deep conditionCondition your hair a week before and the preceding days. A deep conditioning mask is especially crucial if you plan on bleaching for your purple hair. Think of it as a shield against the chemicals you’ll be applying to your strands.
4. Shop for color-safe conditioners and shampoosIf you want your permanent or semi-permanent purple hair dye to last as long as possible, color-boosting hair products are a good idea. There are various purple conditioners and cleansers that enhance color.
Fortunately, some of the best shampoo formulas have ammonia-free, mild ingredients, which means they’re less likely to dull your hair’s shine. 5. Gather your accessories

Keep in mind that these estimates are if you don’t wash your hair every day. For the best results and higher chances of achieving that perfect purple, go at least one day in between washes to preserve color and your hair’s natural oils! If you feel a certain way about not washing hair every day (or if you sweat, travel, etc.) then dry washing is an option. People with oily scalps can also benefit from dry shampoo. How to choose the right purple hair dye1. Look at the color chart on the purple hair dye boxTypically, your results depend on your current shade. Most dyes have a reference chart that allows you to picture what your own hair can look like afterward.
The lighter your natural hair color, the more it’s able to show off brighter colors. However, even people with dark brown hair to black hair can hold semi-permanent dyes in equally stunning shades. Just note that darker hair is best suited to plums, burgundies, and deep purples. 2. Set filters for your purple hair dye choiceAre you looking for permanent purple hair dye or only semi-permanent dye? Do you want a cruelty-free hair dye? Ammonia-free? One that suits red undertones? Dye with natural ingredients?
Would like to purchase a whole bottle or just a small jar of permanent color for retouches?
