So you’ve got the color. Now what? Maintenance. That’s the buzzkill, but it’s a necessary one. Buy a purple shampoo (the irony is not lost on me) to keep the brassiness away. A color-depositing conditioner is also your new best friend.
Wash your hair less. I know, it sounds gross to our modern brains, but your hair will thank you. Dry shampoo is your secret weapon. It saves your color and gives you that “I woke up like this” vibe—even if you actually woke up looking like a startled hedgehog.
And when the purple starts to fade? Don’t panic. It just gives you an excuse to mix up a fresh batch of dye and have your own little spa day. Think of it as a recurring adventure.
Here’s the truth: Black and purple hair isn’t just a color. It’s a badge of courage. It says you’re willing to have purple-stained towels, to deal with “interesting” questions from your grandma, and to walk into a room knowing you look like an absolute legend.
So go ahead. Book that appointment, buy that box, or mix that bowl of witchy potion. You’re about to become the coolest, most colorful version of yourself. And hey, if it all goes wrong? That’s what beanies are for. But it won’t go wrong. You’ve got this. Now go rock that royal rebellion.
