16 amazing ways to get purple balayage
Purple balayage is a highlighting technique that creates soft, painted purple streaks on your hair. It is meant to show a unique vibrancy, perfect for bolder women!
First, do your research and find a stylist who is skilled at creating vibrant colors. Consult with them and be open.
Hair artist Lauren Eliana from Cranston, RI suggests being patient with the journey.
“There’s a lot of chemistry and tedious steps involved in creating colors like this. It can take several sessions, depending on your existing canvas,” explains Eliana.
Vibrant colors require higher maintenance than sun-kissed balayage. So make sure you stick to the post-treatment recommendations given by your stylist.
“Come back to the salon every six weeks to refresh the purplethen every 12 weeks to refresh the balayage,” suggests Eliana.
Otherwise, you can choose a more vibrant shade of purple to enjoy the fading process.
And these are additional maintenance tips from Eliana:
(1) Wash the hair in very cold water. Warm or hot water will fade the color instantly.
(2) Styling tools should not be hotter than 315 degrees.
(3) Avoid salt water, chlorine and too much sun exposure.
Eliana recommends shampoos from the Aluram Daily and Oligo product lines. These are lightweight, moisturizing and healthy for color treated hair.
