What would purple streaks look like in jet black hair should i get it done?
Answers:
I've seen this done in everything from long thin conventional streaks, to wide chunking. I like the effect achieved somewhere in the mid-range, with chunked stripes no wider than about 5/8 of an inch.
And the best colour show occurs if your streaks are first pre-bleached. If you don't strip the black colour out first, the purple will just disappear, except for a purple sheen under bright lights.
"Yeah Yeah"
Go for it you only live once.
no get blue ones
Are you planning on applying to clown college? Don't forget the big red nose and goofy shoes.
Yea go for the funky look! ;-)
i hav purple and black hair! fades all the time a lot of up keep gotta pop in the purple evry week, to keep it lookin fresh!but yeah try something new!
yeah, prob be nice, although I like the really shocking red in black hair, it looks so cool!
I think it would look fab!! Go for it!!
yup
That could look really good,But if i was you i would try the clip in extensions first (you can get them in lot,s of bright colours) and thy are not very expensive and you can get them in supadrug.If you then like the look,go for the real thing
depends on your skin tone and your personality. it's quite "wild" so better have a personality to match or you'll just look like a poser with it.
Dark Purple streaks Will look shithot!! Might have to lighten some streaks first though or it mightn't show up
Hey!
I also have jet black hair (naturally) and wanted purple streaks.
Went to the hairdresser (excellent guy) who bleached my hair, put in the purple dye and waited.
And waited..
and waited..
and waited.
It didn't take, and my hair came out puke green, I had to have pink put over it to cover it up which was really cool actually.
Apparently dark hair doesn't take dark colours very well.
I ended up getting extensions in the end. I think guys can get them too.
My advice, to avoid looking like a convoy of pigeons dumped their bowels on you is to go with a funky red. It spices up black hair no end, and you're guaranteed it'll work!
Good luck, and don't make the same mistake I did!
if you do it properly im sure it would look great, what about blue though that looks good too (my friend had it done)
Looks fab on my hairdresser, but i've not quite got the bottle!
It wud look amazing !! Go for it .. my sis used to have her hair like this and i luved it . its different from the usual red everyone seems to go for . like someone else said it does fade quite quickly but it shouldnt be a problem to keep it up .
It looked awesome on my friend's hair, almost like in the cartoons when they show shiny black hair as purple-ish. Her hair was a natural black, though, and the purple was very dark and leaning toward the blue-side rather than red.
yh kwl go 4 it!
That would be quite nice!
Would look good, but probably won't show up on black hair as black is darker than purple. You'll need to bleach the hair you want to streak first.
it would look ok i wouldn't get it done but you should go 4 it
Sure, Purple is my favorite color and my hair is really dark. You need to strip out your black then add purple. Purple is sort of feminine, blue or green is better if you like the ladies.
Make sure to first bleach the sections where you want the purple, if you put purple over black it will only change the hue, not the colour. So once you've bleached your streaks, apply a GOOD colour that won't fade every week. DO NOT USE MANIC PANIC or any other 'metallic' dyes if you think you'll ever want to cover or change the colour.
Really easy way: start with all over highlighting cap, leave on 40 min, then once you're rinsed, DO NOT CONDITION, let your hair dry, and then apply your colour. Your whole head will have a purple hue, but only some spots will be vibrant.
MY FRIEND HAS IT AND IT REALLY LOOKS GREAT SO GO FOR IT.GOOD LUCK.
No, that would look so wack just stick to the natural
yes, but they should be blended nicely
ur hair dresser knows better..
4 ur in4mation- dark colours dont catch in2 dark hair, so either u mus 1st bleach it n then put colour or put a lighter colour than ur hair.
bleachg n puttg the relevant colour is a hassle 4 u 2 maintain coz it l fade away & only the bleach (yellow colour) will remain, so then u hav 2 apply colour evry 3 weeks or so 2 bring it bac 2 life !! c i told u, its a hassle.
so instead u cud go 4 shades of reds, coz reds suit black hair n whatever skin colour ( tan, fair, dark, white) .
u cud go 4 red, burgundy, deep burgundy, rich burgundy red or even burgundy brown.. all colours cud b applied, or 2 or 1 or as ur wish..
all the best in ur new look.
Hell yeah, I think that would be hot! If anything, it's hair and it grows back. You can try it out with temporary dye first to see if you like it.
What shade of purple?
uber cool
i have blue streaks with jet black hair. there isnt a day that goes by when someone comments about how cool it is.
go for it!
