Blue hair color is a bold experiment for the daring and young. Blue hair - how to get blue hair Blue hair color options

Сrazy Color They don’t last very well, but they are easy to apply, the shades are normal, although not very bright.

These dyes do not damage your hair at all.
The shabby colored washcloths on your head are not due to color, but due to cheap, bad bleaching and lack of care.

I tried L"Oreal Colorista- their blue s green tint, the hair from these dyes is not a fountain of quality. After Directions they are absolutely silky, there is something to compare with :)

Paints are also popular now Anthocyanin (Anthocyanin)- a huge palette of colors, they hold up great, they don’t damage my hair, they even treat it, my hair has never looked better than after this dye. There are two problems with them:
- This is not a home option. A long multi-step heating/cooling process... this is best done in a salon. There are not salons with this paint in every city.
- If you dye it a rich color from the roots, then the scalp gets dyed too, it looks terrible and takes a very long time, several weeks, in pieces, and washes off. Can't be cleaned off with special paint products. But for ends, Anthocyanin is a great choice!

Still very popular Pravana. It does not flow one onto another, it can be painted in layers, stripes, stars, leopard print. If anyone has tried it, please tell me.

Third: colors and shades

For the last reason I switched to more dark color: bleaching your hair once every two weeks is unrealistic, but walking around with this particular parting for two weeks out of four is terrible.

Hot pink

For the same reason, I decided to paint the roots purple and the ends pink.

Bright purple

And then the store where I always buy paint didn’t deliver either purple or pink. I saw Directions Neon Blue, and in the jar it's quite purple. I took it, painted it, and... turned blue :) And I really liked it!
But blue is the finish. The most difficult one I've ever had.

Fourth: How to live with pink/blue hair, etc.

1. Can you devote enough time to maintaining your hair color and appearance:
1.1 Bleaching every 4 weeks
1.2 Renew color every 3-4 shampoos (applies to light shades)
1.3 Care and cutting are twice as thorough as with regular hair. On bright ones, any defect is visible.

However, there are solutions to these points:
2.1.1 After about six months, I stopped noticing the increased attention altogether. My friends and parents notice (" Those girls over there turned their heads and stumbled...."), me not.

2.2.1 For me, being pink/purple is like being brown-haired, completely natural. What if I had naturally blue hair? Well, what can you do? I look like crap, I’m not in the mood to put on makeup or get my hair done - oh well, I’ll go like this :)

2.3.1 I was very afraid of negative stereotypes. And then I accepted it as inevitable. Now I am confident enough in myself as a person to not make excuses for my appearance.

2.4.1 At this point, only patience and confidence in your decisions help. 2011-2012: Vogue with Lady Gaga with pink hair on the cover, InStyle cover with Katy Perry with violet hair, advertising campaign Chanel... everyone rushed to dye their ends, multi-colored hair began to appear in all the glossy magazines... Actually, I clearly fell into the trend, well, a year earlier :) I was so sure that this decision was mine, real and correct that the comments did not hurt, but rather surprised. I'm very interested in what these critics would say now :)

3. Why do you need to wear makeup? bright color?

That's true, why? This is so much work, effort, problems.

To stand out? To avoid being “like everyone else”? To cope with depression and change something in life? To forcefully put on an image so as not to blend in with the crowd or to push oneself through external appearances internal changes? If this is not YOUR image, you will be unhappy and dissatisfied. With the most perfect and beautiful pink hair that everyone turns their necks at. Happiness does not lie in being unique in appearance, especially since multi-colored hair is no longer exotic. Not a single personality has become more multifaceted because of pink hair. The maximum is a painted pacifier.

If the desire to change your appearance so radically comes not from problems, but from the heart, then it is correct!

update from 2017:
- I got tired of bleaching my roots every month, and I switched to highlighting once every four months. My scalp thanked me. The growing roots look adequate, smoothly turning into blue. The optimal solution, I don’t even know how I didn’t think of it before!

- I use Directions Midnight/Neon Blue, both with a strong purple tint, which corrects the yellowness (which sometimes happens even with the most careful bleaching). This shade goes away in three washes and turns out like the photo above.

I tried L'Oreal Colorista - their blue with a green tint, the hair from these dyes is not a fountain.

Blue hair color is something fantastic, going beyond the boundaries of objective reality. It is usually chosen by creative individuals, freaks or people who follow the motto “yours.” appearance- a reflection of the soul." In order to dye your hair blue, you need remarkable courage and will, because not everyone will enthusiastically look at your hairstyle: it can even come to insults, then you need to steadfastly repel blows and defend your choice. If such controversial issues do not touch your soul, you can be congratulated, because you have the opportunity to become one of the “indigo people”.

1. How long do you want to become the owner of blue hair? Is it just for one night or should the color blue accompany you for at least several months?
   
2. What shade are you interested in? Deep blue, azure or maybe pastel blue?
   
3. Are you ready to put your hair at risk? No bright color is complete without discoloration, so with brittle thin hair It’s better to refrain from the idea.
   
4. Have you used makeup before? If you have dyed hair, you will have to wash it several times.
   
5. Do you have a thoughtful look? Since blue is an unnatural hair color, the image must be thought out to the smallest detail. Regular clothes and unkemptness will no longer be appropriate here. Get ready to be looked at a lot and carefully.
   
6. Will a work or school dress code allow you to achieve your dreams?
   

How to dye your hair blue for one evening?
To dye your hair for one evening, you can use special color sprays, for example, Color Xtreme Hair Art or Kyolan Color Spray. Using sprays is similar to using hairsprays: they are sprayed either on the entire surface of the head or on individual strands. They wash off very quickly, maximum after the second wash, so during use you should try to avoid high humidity - your beautiful colour it can simply “leak”, staining clothes and everything that touches the hair along the way.

How can brunettes dye their hair blue?
In order to dark hair, it doesn’t matter whether it’s painted or not, if it turns out to be a bright blue color, you’ll first have to lighten it or, accordingly, wash off the old paint. For a very bright color, lightening will have to be done until the hair is snow-white, and for dark blue you can mix a bright mixton (for example, from Igora) and dark chestnut hair dye. It is better to do both washing and lightening in a professional salon - this way the risk of damaging your hair will be minimized. Plus, bleached hair should not have a red tint - so instead of blue it will turn out to be dirty green, which will take about two months to remove.

In addition to paint, you can use tint balms, for example, “Tonica” (shade “Wild Plum”), which have less impact on the hair and can withstand 5-6 shampoos. However, each hair has a unique structure, and if a toner gives a bright color to one type of hair, it may be almost invisible on another.

How can blondes dye their hair blue?
It’s easier for fair-haired girls than for brunettes - by nature their hair color and structure is such that the dye applies without bleaching. It should be taken into account that the shade from such hair will take longer and more difficult to wash off. But, in general, the means for painting remain the same: professional paints from Schwarzkopf, Igora Royal and various tinted tonics. Please note that no paint will give a 100% result at home - even if the possible colors are indicated on the package, you may end up with something completely unexpected, so it is better to go to a hairdresser.

So many positive feedback with funds from “Manic Panic”, but not everything is as rosy as it might seem. The color it produces is bright and truly fantastic, but this paint washes off literally within a week. She won’t even accept naturally blonde hair – bleaching is definitely required. However, there are also undeniable advantages: since this paint is created from natural ingredients, in addition to coloring, it acts as good mask for hair. One of the downsides is that during rinsing, the color can transform beyond recognition, for example, become a dull swamp green that no longer wants to leave your hair.

What else do you need to know about bright colors when dyeing?
Any bright color requires constant care, be it tinting the roots and updating the color 2-3 times a month, using gentle shampoos, washing your hair with vinegar or prohibiting hot water. But if you seriously decide to become a bright spot in the gray surrounding reality, approach the issue with all responsibility. Think through every step of hair care, stock up on color renewal dye and restorative hair masks in advance. And, perhaps, a bright color will fit so organically into your image that you simply won’t want to part with it anymore.

How to dye your hair blue for a long time or before the first wash; what paints will be needed; what shades will suit different ages, types; reviews of blue paints in a nutshell - let’s try to find out all this now.

You're probably going to be disappointed right now, but there are simply no permanent blue hair dyes. There are only compositions that stay on the hair for as long as possible, but after the first wash the bright, juicy color goes away, leaving only a dull echo of yesterday’s juicy color.

Introduction

But this also has its advantages, since after each wash you actually have a new shade that is 1 tone lighter than yesterday. In fact, if you start straight with blue, then after 3 months your hair will remain light bluish gray, which is also not without a certain beauty. Sometimes the blue will fade into green, sometimes into gray, so you won’t know what shade you’ll get after washing your hair again.

On the other hand, this will not last forever, and if you suddenly get tired of everything, you can dye your hair a different color or gradually cut off your dyed hair.

So, away with boring tones, long live experimentation!

And where do you think it will start?

From the worst - etching of the native pigment with hydrogen peroxide. Yes, yes, unless you are platinum blonde, you will have to bleach your hair. Otherwise, you won’t get that rich blue color; it will look green or gray. Even if you are a yellowish brunette, you will not turn blue, you will be green like a frog. And if you are a natural brunette, then the blue color, even in bright light, will not hint at its presence on your hair.

No matter what hair color you have, you will have to etch the pigment to a whitish state. For brunettes, at least 2 peroxide dyes will be required. This is a serious blow to the health of your hair, so think 7 times before you dare to make drastic changes.

Have you finally decided and now you are a hydropyrolide blonde? Great! We don't stop halfway, we keep moving forward.

After this, we take the dye selected in advance and dye the hair blue. Permanent blue shades can be selected from Londa Color or Wella Color Touch.

If the first time you do not get a saturated shade or it appears unevenly, repeat the procedure a second time.

The result obtained can last from 4 weeks to 3 months, then only a hint of color will remain, but it will last until completely washed out for a year. It all depends on the type of hair, compliance with the dyeing conditions, and on the composition.

You can repeat the coloring every 3-4 months or constantly maintain it with high-quality tint tonics that remain for up to 8 washes. Among these we can recommend Crazy Color and Manic Panic.

If your obsession with the color blue is transitory and common sense weighs in favor of temporary changes, then all tinted tonics will suit you. You will find a more detailed review with reviews of them below. It is worth considering that toners also love platinum blondes, otherwise there will be an unclean blue color.

How to paint before the first wash?

If you are a constant experimenter, any non-persistent products before the first wash will suit you. These include mascaras, gels,... Each of them has its own pros and cons, so it’s worth trying everything to settle on one. For example, crayons dry out hair very much, so girls with thin and weak hair should avoid them.

The mascara colors the hair well. It is convenient for her to apply dye; the procedure is similar to tinting eyelashes. But the composition of the mascara is such that one immediately gets the impression oily hair. You'll look like a dirty hippie with blue tow.

Tinted shampoo does not have the disadvantages of its competitors listed above, it is less harmful, and therefore is suitable for all hair types. But one of the downsides is the frail shade. It will be a faint blue color and will only be noticeable on white hair.

How to choose shades based on age?

How to choose shades by type?

Remember that people are divided into 2 types: cold and warm.

Pure blue and cyan are cool colors. Accordingly, they are suitable for girls with a similar type of appearance. Ideally, if it is whitish skin, blue or blue eyes, and on the cheeks there is a beautiful frosty blush.

For warm types it is better to choose warm shades, and this is turquoise and many different shades: azure gray, the color of blue steel.

Of course, if you have warm skin but cold sapphire eyes, you can try dyeing your hair blue. However, this is not so effective, since the imbalance with the skin of the face will be noticeable.

Also keep in mind that the blue color is too bright and attracts a lot of attention. Your appearance should be in harmony with the color. If you have a large head, but weak hair of sparse thin hairs, a flat face like a plate, a large nose and ears, then using blue you will make your already non-standard appearance with irregular facial features even more humanoid to the point of complete absurdity. Believe me, it's ugly.

Steps

Part 1

Start with a deep cleansing shampoo. With its help, you will wash away any impurities from your hair, which will facilitate further coloring. In addition, a clarifying shampoo will help remove any remaining paint. This shampoo can be purchased at cosmetics or hairdressing stores.

• Follow the instructions on the package. As a rule, clarifying shampoos are used in the same way as regular ones.

1. Prepare the paint. Some paints are sold ready to use. However, if you purchased a paint that requires mixing different ingredients, follow the instructions that came with it. Take a plastic bowl and brush and prepare the paint according to the directions.

   • If you purchased paint that does not require cooking, it is also better to pour it into a plastic bowl: this will make it easier for you to scoop up the paint with a brush.

2. Apply dye to your hair. After completing all the preparations, start applying the dye to individual strands. Move from the roots of the hair to the ends. For convenience, you can lift the strands up and secure them with hairpins.

   Leave the paint for the time specified in the instructions. Once you have applied the dye to all the strands, put a shower cap or plastic bag on your head and set the timer for the desired time. The duration of painting depends on the specific type of paint. Some paints take about an hour, while others need 15 minutes.

   • Watch the time so that the dye does not remain on the hair for too long.

3. Wash off the paint. After the required time has passed, wash the dye from your hair. Rinse your hair until the water becomes almost colorless. Try to use only cool, slightly lukewarm water. Water that is too warm will wash away more paint and the color will be less saturated.

   • After you wash off the excess dye, dry your hair with a towel. Do not use a hair dryer as the heat can damage the hair and fade the color.

Part 3

1. Immediately after dyeing, rinse your hair with vinegar. To make the color last longer and be more vibrant, rinse your hair with a water solution of white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 1 part water). Mix a glass of vinegar and a glass of water in a small bowl and pour this solution over your hair. Wait about two minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly with water.

   • You can then use shampoo and conditioner again to remove the vinegar smell from your hair.

2. Wash your hair less often. The less frequently you wash your hair, the longer the color will remain on it. Try to wash your hair no more than twice a week. To keep your hair looking clean longer, use

   Color your hair every 3-4 weeks. Most blue dyes are classified as semi-permanent, so the blue color in your hair will fade quite quickly. To maintain a vibrant hair color, color your hair every 3-4 weeks.

• After lightening your hair, use as a conditioner. natural oils, such as coconut, almond or amla oil. This will help restore chemically damaged hair. Apply the oil mask at night and wash it off in the morning.
• If you get paint splattered around the edges of your tub or countertop, try removing it with a melamine sponge like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
• If you want to dye your hair a darker shade than your current one, you don't have to bleach it. Bleaching damages your hair, but if you want to make it darker than it is, you can do without it.
• If you're not sure if you're ready to wear this hair color for a long time, try wash-out dye first and see the results.

Warnings

• Do not mix lightener with paint! This may result in a dangerous chemical reaction.

• Some paints contain the substance paraphenylenediamine, which causes a negative reaction in the body in some people. Before dyeing your hair, apply some dye to your skin and check your reaction. This is especially important if the paint contains the substance mentioned.
• Pour brightener and paint into glass, ceramic or plastic
