How to go from faded purple hair to blonde step by step

 

Purple, pink or green-dyed hair is beautiful and personal but high-maintenance.  That’s why, after a while, people get tired and want a more traditional, low-maintenance color. 

However, if you decide to change your hair color, you may find yourself with either a very easy or challenging task. That difference will depend on the color you are starting from and the color you want to achieve.

 

If your hair has a faded purple color, and you want to move on to blonde, unfortunately, you face a difficult task because purple is very difficult to remove due to its dark pigmentation.

It’s even more complicated if you want to apply a blonde color, a light color.

Don’t get discouraged yet, because not all is bad news. Do you want to know why?

 

 

It is also important to think carefully about what blonde color you want to apply once the purple has completely faded.

Do you want to go from a faded purple to a platinum blonde and all in one day?

 

Start changing your mind, because that’s absolutely impossible. To apply a platinum blonde, you have to remove all the purple pigments completely. And that’s achieved with several bleachings, which of course, are not done in one day.

 

So stay with me, because I’ll tell you:

 

How to go from faded purple hair to blonde if you used semi-permanent dye

Do you have semi-permanent colored hair?

You’re in luck because removing the remaining purple pigments will be easier.

 

First, you need to make sure that the purple is completely gone, and for that, you need to look at your ends and growth.

What color are they?

 

If they are your base color, the purple is already faded.

Are there still purple pigments in the tips and growth?

Don’t get desperate.  Simply wash your hair with a sulfate shampoo to speed up the fading process. 

 

Once you fade the purple from the outside of the hair fiber, you must remove all the purple pigments. Also, to do this, you must bleach your hair, but you must moisturize it deeply before the process.

How can you do this?

 

By using coconut oil from root to tip as a night mask, at least twice a week.

Four hours before bleaching, apply coconut oil to your lengths and ends, and don’t rinse it out before applying the bleaching mixture.

 

What do you need to bleach the faded purple?

 

Step by step:

 

At this point, the purple color will have completely disappeared, and the time will have come to apply the blonde dye.

Do you want some advice? Choose a permanent dye, as it will perfectly cover any remaining purple color.

You can choose lighter shades of blonde like:

 

Now, was your hair colored with a permanent purple dye?

You’ll have to work a little harder if you want to go blonde.

 

How to go from faded purple hair to blonde if you used permanent dye

Here we have a slightly more complicated task if you want to leave behind the faded purple to move on to a blonde. Do you want to know why?

 

Because the permanent dye is applied with a 20-volume developer and contains ammonia, which causes the pigments to penetrate inside the hair fiber, changing your base color. That’s why its pigments are more persistent.

 

 To completely remove all the purple you still have in your hair, you’ll need to bleach it. 

Since purple pigments are even more persistent than other colors, you must perform at least two bleaching sessions to remove it completely.

 

That’s a lot of damage to your hair. Nevertheless, you can’t do several sessions in a row because you’ll break and burn your hair irreversibly.

Therefore, you’ll have to wait at least three weeks between sessions. What can you do?

 

Think about the health of your hair! And to do that, you should use the time to strengthen and repair your hair.

 

If you take this care between each bleaching, the hair fiber will be healthy again quickly.

Once you have finished with the bleaching sessions and the purple has disappeared, you must apply the dye. And to cover up any traces of purple, you can choose permanent dye in dark blonde shades.

 

What will you need to dye?

Gather all these elements and start the application.

 

Step by Step:

 

Mission accomplished! You have finally managed to leave the purple behind and welcome the blonde.

 

Conclusions

If you want to go from a faded purple hair to a blonde and have previously used a semi-permanent hair color, you must, first, fade the purple pigments with a sulfate shampoo and have a bleaching session, to eliminate the purple hair.

If you want to go from faded purple to blonde and have previously used permanent hair color, you’ll need to do several bleaching sessions to apply blonde color. And this will take longer because you don’t want to bleach your hair several times in one day, or even in one week.
