Purple Hair!

Purple Hair Stripe

I finally took the plunge and colored a purple stripe into my grey hair.

Over the past couple years I’ve occasionally used a 1-day hairspray type of hair coloring to give myself a purple stripe. I place it behind my right ear into a particularly light white streak so the color shows up well. I’ve always liked the look, but wanted to wait until retirement to do it in a more permanent way.

I finally took the plunge this week with a Splat kit and I’m really happy with the results.

The grey/white streak before bleaching.
Hair After Bleaching
After bleaching. Not much difference, but hopefully the process will help my hair take the color better.
Hair After Coloring
Looks more lavender than deep purple, but I like it.
