I'm going to use this brand today in Tanzanite. I also have dark hair and have dyed it before, but trying to go more vivid without bleaching. I'm going to be using 30 developer bc it's supposed to lift a bit better for dark hair and make color pop a little more
Thank you for this! I don’t want to bleach my hair but want to get a good purple color. I’ve been searching for a good video that shows a dark brunette going purple and what products! I’m follow your video exactly! Thank you!
DOOO IITTT!!! I wasted too many years being scared to try beautiful color I assumed wouldn’t suit me. Now I’m just having fun. I recently changed it to a bright burgundy red.
Thank you for this! I have brown hair and I’m wanting to do purple or blue so bad! I think I’m going to record it when I do it to see how it turns out too! Thank youuu 🥰😍😍😍😍
I think I should mention, I do have dark brown hair but before I did purple I actually bleached my whole hair 1-2mo before this and it then I dyed it like an ash brown or something like that. You can see on previous videos. I think that’s the reason the purple caught so well
Girllllllll I have to be honest you are absolutely stunnnning with dark hair ! With that said, your're obviously beautiful either way or without any at all ☺️☺️☺️♥️♥️♥️
So like u said that u ran out of the first box at like 1/2 to like 3/4 of ur hair done, so if I wanted to do a half ombré on my hair would I be cutting it close, or should I be fine?
Depending on the length of your hair and the thickness. If you have long hair you would need two no matter what because people with long thick hair usually use 3 boxes. But it you have short hair then you should be find with one. I always buy extra tho so that I don’t risk needing more.
Yes I had bleached it like 6mo or so before this then I colored my hair with a store bought dye I think it was “got 2b in Amethyst” but that faded into the color I had at the start of the video
i have wavy/curly dirty blonde hair, ive never dyed my hair. i’m going to use ion purple. i’ve never dyed my hair before, my hair is thick and goes around to the middle of my back. how many boxes should i buy and what developer should i use?
Sadeee I would say 2 boxes because I have thick hair and when I use two boxes I still have some left over. You can use any developer. I usually use Volume 20 because that’s what my best friend recommended me and she went to cosmetology school. She always advises me to use lower volumes so that I don’t damage my hair. I guess the higher the volume the more that it can damage your hair. I hope that helps : )
Girl DO IT, trust me I spent too many years wishing I could use all these beautiful colors and was too afraid. At the end of the day it’s just dye, it will wash out or fade out at some point.
EVERDEENXOXO my issue is my silvers that are always growing it! I have to do root touch ups like once a month because my hair grows really fast! So I'd have to really commit to a color because I'd be needing to touch it up so often! 😅 but I've always been attracted to the purple tones because I have really cool toned skin and blue eyes!
I’m a naturally dark brown headed but i bleached my hair and tried going blonde but it went ginger... i’ve left it for about 3-4 months now but i really want to go like a dark ish purple but i just don’t want it going a differnt color with the ginger
I’m the last one to be an expert but I do know this is what toner is for. Go to the beauty supply store (Sally’s or so) and they will recommend the right one. Do that and then do the purple so that it will come out good. I wish I would have done that when I did blonde but I went back to brown after I bleached it
I dyed my hair for the first time about 3-4 weeks ago, i wasnt brave enough to go full purple and plus i wanted to keep some natural colour so i chose to dye the underlayer of my hair! My natural hair colour is like a dark blonde , so its unusual for a darker colour to be underneath considering most hair that are dyed underneath are lighter then the top layer but oh well 😂 it turned out great and it takes quite a bit of dedication and confidence to dye your hair (whether it be the whole head or not) a complete non- natural colour❤ Purple rocks anybody , such a beautiful colour💜
Yes. I started doing simple colors then during covid i went all out since i wasnt leaving the house anyways. Recently i did a copper brown with rose gold bangs. Completely different than i ever would have tried but it came out so good. I didnt make a video but i do have a tiktok if youre interested in seeing it. My username is everdeen_xoxo
Do u need to use the developer to make this work o bought the radiant orchid box thinking that's all I needed. It will be on brown hair and never dyed hair before
No you don’t. I didn’t know you were suppose to use it without it. Is your hair light brown? If it is I think it would work, if it’s dark brown I think the developer helped lift my dark brown so that the purple would show. If you don’t want to bleach it, you can try buying a toner, like T-18 and using that first to make your hair a little lighter before using the radiant orchid.
You can but it will wash off and it won’t get the desired color. I mean either way the color of your original hair plays into what color you’re gonna get but the developer is used to deposit the color onto the pores of your hair so that it will last longer
You definitely should or use a toner to lighten it. Whichever you feel more comfortable with. I tried doing it two days ago on dark hair and it didn’t come out 🥺. I’m gonna give my hair some rest for a month or two and try again but lighten it first
I love how your hair looks! I tried dyeing my hair purple using Feria, but I didn’t see any purple. Maybe because my hairs black. Where can I find the product that you used?!
If you watch my most recent video you’ll see you kinda have to lighten your hair to get a nice purple. In this video I did use developer which could have contributed to how the purple came out. But you don’t need developer for this brand. It comes already ready to use straight from the bottle. I buy my dye at Sally’s Beauty Salon.
Also, Iv used the Féria dye, the purple one I forget what the color is called I think it’s Amyth metallic idk I forget the exact color but I used it before and it did come out to a nice purple. If your hair is black tho it will be hard to get a nice purple. Trust me I have tried so hard with so many brands.
Do you think your roots that were not pre-lightned picked up the color well? I can see your ends were pre-lightened but the end results its hard to see how the roots lifted. I am also curious how root touch up would be on a brunette using this color.
The color I chose was dark enough to blend with my roots, they didn’t really show until the color faded almost completely. If your hair isn’t black the color still grabs onto the dark brown it’s just not as vibrant
I tried doing blue a few days ago but it was a mess. I was told I would have to get my hair really blonde in order for it to work. Have you seen my recent video? I just did my hair purple again and this time I bleached it and it turned out really purple
I’m pretty sure you used the semi permanent version of this dye that doesn’t require developer... you’d know because it’s purple coming out of the tube vs the ones that required developer are whiteish yellow....
Omg no way lol. Well it’s good to know now. I wish I would have paid attention when I used the color. I’m back to brunette now but when I try it in the future again I’ll do it right this time.
Trust me I thought so too but the directions say you don’t mix any developer. Unfortunately I didn’t read the instructions before I dyed it assuming it was like any other ion product so I used it. I also googled it to make sure, and sure enough it says online you don’t mix it in. Came out pretty good either way lol.
The stuff she showed in the video was the permanent brights, so she was right to use developer, she just put a pic of the semi permanent brights in the thumbnail
I can definitely see the purple in your hair. It looks really pretty. You’re a beautiful girl anyways but it looks pretty on you. I am thinking of doing the same thing but I’d have to dye my hair brown first. I wonder if yours is naturally brown. Anyways, thanks for sharing your process.
I used both. You only need the dye. Don’t use developer with this brand. You should watch my recent video. I dyed it purple again and I had better results.
Awesome. If you are using this exact one. Don’t use the developer. This specific box dye apparently already comes ready. I didn’t know until someone commented
Omg gurl, I did it, I used 20 developer like you did. I even talked to the sally place girl for a while and she didn’t know either 🙄 it turn out “black” 😅 hoping it will fade in time but I didn’t mind black anyway, btw idk what’s in this dye, it made my hair so straight and smooth so I just love it for that anyway. Thank you!
He had a very beautiful eyes and the color you had in your hair even though you say it faded actually looks really nice the outcome looks very beautiful as well but this is kind of a false video for people to watch and to try to achieve your results due to the color you had in your hair previously but you never know someone could have had died at that color as well so it could help someone
I always use 20 Vol developer. I use 2 oz of developer for every oz of color. Usually I grab either the Sallys brand or Wella brand from Sallys. Since my hair is thick i usually go for 4oz of developer and 2oz color.
From my experience no 😣. You either have to go for it and just bleach it, or use Loreal Hicolor and try Magenta 🤷🏻♀️, it’s not a perfectly purple but it’s pretty close to purple… maroon
I love this. I tried doing doing hair permanently purple and it turned out more burgundy. More red than I like and it doesn't fit my skin tone at all. This looks much more blue.
No not for the semi perm, this one that I used, you dont need it, and I didnt know at the time. Ive currently been using Arctic fox and its way better. Also no developer needed. Unless you have dark hair then none of these would work much.
U usually use twice the amount of the dye. So if the dye is 2 oz, the developer is 4oz. Keep in mind in the comments everyone said i wasnt suppose to use the developer 🤷🏻♀️ make sure to read the directions
Hey. This is an older video. I didn’t know this specific product doesn’t need developer. You can use it straight on your hair. I recommend using Arctic Fox tho. Iv been using that more often then ION. They have more vibrant colors too. Iv used the purples and reds. 3rd it has a nicer smell. No chemical smell, more like a fruity smell.
You don’t need developer with this brand. I didn’t know. You just use it straight out of the bottle. Recently I did another video using the brand Arctic Fox which I liked a lot better
Tejalkera_Msp love Same here i dye it anyways, I just say to any teachers who stop me “My hair my life i’m only a teenager once and when i’m an adult i probably won’t want to dye my hair so move” 💀
Tejalkera_Msp love yeah, my school literally gave my friend a hair stripper and half of her hair fell out. They always tell me to change it to a natural color but i don’t listen at the end of the day it’s our hairs not theirs..Like they should just let us kids live our life’s
This is just what I was looking for, my hair is about the same color as yours in the beginning of the video and I can't stand it because I'm not a natural colors kind of girl, I just chopped off 6 inches, got my bangs back and it's time to dye it. Your makeup is flawless, so pretty! I'm always searching for the perfect purple black but I'm beginning to think it doesn't exsist but this is pretty damn close.
I don't know if you read these or experiment often but what do you think would happen if I mixed in lime crime charcoal with this or another purple color? I'm itching for a smokey color but my hair I so dang dark
I do read ALL my comments lol. I experiment alot but this last time when i bleached it i really damaged it so i went brown so i can wait a few months before i experiment again 🤣
@@everdeenxoxo I might try that one out. I'm always searching, its my life's mission I swear lol. Some good ones that I have found are lunar tides magic salem and magic shadow. They fade a bit too quick is the only thing but they are stunning.
I know there are certain colors that really fade out quick and I hate that part because I hate having to re-dye it over and over when I find a nice color. The only color that really stayed for a while is arctic fox purple rain. Im Avoiding coloring my hair for another month if I can try to hold on LOL but I’ve been seeing really pretty reds everywhere
20 developer lifts your natural hair color so that whatever color you add shows better. The higher the number the more it lifts. 40 and 30 and prettty strong so its better to use 20. When i dont want too much lift ill use 10. But developer does not bleach your hair. The only one that has really lifted the brown off my hair is using loreal hi lites red, im not sure if they have other colors
My hair is really really black. I know the purple is gonna vary depending on color, and I do not wanna to bleach it. In fact, i would only want to keep this look for a couple months. f I were to dye it at home, would it return to black after it fades? Would I have to re dye it back? I don’t want to mess up my hair but want to do something like this temporarily.
I’m not really sure if it will show up and black hair. My hair is dark brown and it was really hard to even get it to show up on mine. I ended up having to bleach it just to have it show.
🤦🏻♀️ It was developer. I didn’t know this particular dye doesn’t need developer. So if you use this one just put it straight onto your hair. You don’t need to mix it.
This color is so pretty! I have arctic fox’s purple rain sitting on my brown hair right now and I’m afraid it won’t show up well or last long so I was looking for alternatives just in case. Have you ever used arctic fox? And how long did this color last? PS your makeup is gorgeous too. ☺️
I actually loved Artic Fox way better. It lasts longer and it smelled better. I have another video showing how it looks. I had to bleach it a little for the color to show the way I wanted
@@everdeenxoxo ok i found your video! The arctic fox didn’t show up on my hair. it pretty much just make the brassier areas of my hair look richer and less red. would have been great if i wanted it toned 😂 maybe i diluted it too much and could try it again undiluted. My hair used to be bleached and the arctic fox worked great on it then. but then i got tired of touching up my roots so i dyed it back to my natural color which is the medium/dark brown in my picture. maybe the fact that my hair is dyed dark is causing it to not show up as well either?
This one specifically is semi permanent so u don’t need developer. I heard u do use it on the permanent one. But I didn’t know. And girl don’t get me started Iv been think of going back to brown. But I REFUSEEEEEE lol
@@everdeenxoxo right? every time i see a picture of myself with my purple and blue hair i get obsessed. but the anxiety of overprocessing roots, overlapping, and banding is a pain 😂
Yessss. I recently dyed it strawberry rose blonde but it’s fading so fast. It’s been like 2-3wks. Now I’m trying to figure out if I should do something new or leave it alone or go brown 😭
Hey, I have a mixture between dark and light brown hair. Do I have to lighten my hair up or anything? I love this shade of purple and would really like this shade haha.
If your hair is light brown and do you want a dark shade of purple I don’t believe you really need to lighten it but I have to trying out different brands I really think that you should try arctic fox purple rain instead you don’t have to mix it with developer it’s already ready to go and it smells so sweet nothing like chemicals
your hair was already kinda purple tho, do you think thats maybe why the color came out so nice? my hair is like a dark brown, do you think i should bleach it so that it shows like yours? im using the same color btw
I didn’t really bleach it before this I actually had used like a light golden brown color and then , i colored it used splat on it, it was like a violet purple so yeah it was fading off of that, when i did this. If you see the picture from my profile later on I ended up bleaching it and using a different purple. Honestly I feel like bleaching it helped the purple look a lot better
@@everdeenxoxo ok i think thats what im gonna do then. i'll lighten it just a few shades to like a mousy brown so that it takes the dye better. cause i dont want it to be bright, i want to achieve the subtle shade you have in this vid. so yeah thnx for the reply it really helped a lot!
Girl I just learned on a previous comment that this particular hair dye does not need developer 🤷🏻♀️ lol. But I usually use the 2:1 ratio..like if I have one bottle of dye I use 2 of those same bottles of developer. But again, this dye I used doesn’t need developer it come ready to use I just didn’t know that at the time lol.
hiii can you please reply asap, you put this ion purple on your dark maroon hair right and it turned dark purple? my hair was already purple but i wanted it darker and it just turned my hair light brown!? 🥺 do you think i should do another ion purple over this light brown??? it would help a lot if i got a reply back from you or anyone thanks.
Did you use developer? I didnt know this brand had two different kinds of purple. One that you use developer, one that you dont. I used the wrong one on another video and it turned rose or some kind. If you used developer it might have lifted your color. (Im not an expert this is just my opinion). Honestly i stopped using the ion colors because of this mistake and used Arctic Fox Purple rain and it turned my hair a better purple. I should let you know now my hair is really dry but I’ve been trying to add moisture back to it what I did is I had to use that “color oops hair color remover” dried my hair then re dyed it with the arctic fox purple. If you want to continue using that ion purple just make sure that you read the instructions and if it says not to use the developer don’t use it.
i used the exact same developer and permanent color purple that you’re using in the video, my hair is really light brown now. i don’t want to dye my hair back to brown or black or bleach it again. so since i still have developer left i was going to get another ion permanent purple today and go over this light brown, you think it would turn it some sort of dark purple bc that’s what i originally was going for. will arctic fox show on light brown hair as well?? i appreciate your opinion bc the ladies at sally’s beauty weren’t very helpful. thank you so much!
Honestly, i got lucky with this one i have no idea why but i had so many people tell me i was not suppose to use developer. I didnt read the box so i have no idea if i was suppose to or not. With Artic fox you dont have to use developer and it smells fruity not like chemicals. Im only saying try a different one because if you got light brown off of this then that means you did the same thing i did from a different video and it lifted the color. Its completely up to you. Maybe read the box when you get there and see if this box needs developer. The developer is the one lifting it and not depositing the color on your hair. I was mad on mine too because i did what you did on another video.
yes the purple box i got said to use developer so i did and it definitely lifted the purple i had previously on my hair. i just really like how dark the purple is on your hair in this video and how you put it on maroon kinda dark hair that’s why i’m so tempted to do another round with the purple and developer since my hair is light brown now. i will definitely have to do some research i guess, but thank you again this was very helpful!!
Good luck. It may be that you put it on previous purple 🤷🏻♀️ like i said i did it again on another video and got light brown/rose. I had to re dye it again. But i didnt try with the ion again so maybe it could work.
