how to dye LAVENDER HAIR

as always, you want to start by SECTIONING the hair before applying any color.  take your time with this!  the key to getting the PERFECT HAIR COLOR is making sure your dye job is NEAT AND CLEAN. 

LIGHTENING & DYING THE HAIR

• START on the BACK of the head with your LIGHTENER.  

avoid making any type of harsh line and FEATHER the color up the HAIR.  if the end of the hair is already very light, avoid putting lightener on the end of the hair.  you don’t want to damage the hair any more than you already have by LIGHTNING.

• PUT a FOIL IN BETWEEN EVERY SECTION.  not only will this allow your hair color to process faster, it will keep the process CLEAN AND NEAT.

you will need the hair to be a FULL WHITE before the lavender or lilac color will show. so make sure that you’re CHECKING YOUR FOILS and LIGHTENING / TONING FURTHER if you need to.

• once the hair is light enough, you need to TONE THE HAIR TO WHITE and apply the lilac color. 

after you’ve TONED the HAIR to get rid of any unwanted yellow or brassy tones, it should look even, toned, and light enough to hold the exotic color palette :) 

in this case, we’re using an INDIGO as a BLENDING tone and the LAVENDER as the CORE tone for the OMBRE HAIR.   

• START with the INDIGO COLOR and dye the portion of the hair where the darker color meats the lighter colors.  

• now APPLY the LAVENDER HAIR DYE.

BE CAREFUL not to pull a lot of the indigo color down from the top portion of the head. you will want to BLEND a small portion of the color in order to create a flow between the colors, but don’t go crazy!  it’s a thin line.  

now all you have to do is WASH the COLOR OUT and get ready to style. your hair should look like this during wash out:
