If you want to paint your hair purple with a fantasy dye, we recommend trying gentian violet.
Gentian violet is a product that is very easy to find in pharmacies and its advantage is that it is very cheap -compared to some dyes- and it can leave your hair in different shades of purple depending on the number of drops you apply, Well, the more you put on it, the more purple it will be.
You can go pastel tones, lavender, or even a bit more purple, so take note and experiment with this homemade recipe to learn how to make your own gentian violet hair dye.
You need:
- Gloves
- Gentian violet
- White color conditioner
- Peroxide or hydrogen peroxide in cream of 20 volumes
- Comb or dye applicator
- An old towel or one that you no longer use
Procedure:
- Put on your gloves
- In a container add the peroxide, then 3 tablespoons of conditioner and mix
- Go adding a few drops of gentian violet and move. Start with 10 and if you think it should be more purple, add another 5 or 10 and so on, but don't go beyond 35 drops, unless you want it to look even more purple, that's up to you.
How to apply:
- Put an old towel over your shoulders to avoid staining your clothes.
- Divide your hair into strands and with the help of an applicator paint part by part.
- Once you've stained the areas you want to paint, wait 20-30 minutes.
- Wash your hair with lukewarm water and try to remove all traces of dye with the help of a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
Depending on the amount of color that you have put into the mixture, it will be the days that the dye with gentian violet will last, but this homemade recipe lasts approximately up to 10 washes.
Try to moisturize your hair a lot during the days that you applied the dye so that it does not lose vitality or shine.
