Purple-Blue Fusion

It’s all right there in the night sky. A billion miles away, a Technicolor whirl of dark, celestial pinks and swirling galactic blues. Like a gorgeous space nebula, fast and electric, spiraling into an exquisite purple straight above our heads. With this bold look, Sydniiee Oliverira from CA Looks Salon in Visalia, CA, takes us there, creating a royal, multidimensional purple that launches us straight into the stars. Here's how she did it.

The Formulas

Natural Level:
5 Brown with Level 7 outgrowth
Formula A (regrowth):
Wella Professionals Color Touch 5/0 + 1.9-volume developer
Formula B (prelighten):
Wella Professionals BLONDOR Multi-Blonde Powder Lightener + 40-volume developer
Formula C (prelighten):
1/8 oz. Olaplex + Wella Professionals FREELIGHTS Lightener + 40-volume developer
Formula D:
PRAVANA VIVIDS Violet + 2 dots of PRAVANA VIVIDS Blue
Formula E:
PRAVANA VIVIDS Magenta + PRAVANA VIVIDS NEONS Pink + one dot of PRAVANA VIVIDS Violet

Steps

1. On dry hair, start by applying Formula A to the outgrowth, blending it down to soften the line between regrowth and previous color.

2. Next, take Formulas B and C, balayaging the remainder of the hair. Alternate the lighteners to add variety to the lightening. Process the hair until a Level 9-10 pale yellow is achieved. 

3. Wash and condition the hair with Wella Professional’s Brilliance Shampoo and Conditioner and dry the hair.

4. Apply Formulas D and E in diagonal partings, alternating the colors at the roots and melting them into each other as you work down each section.

5. Process for 30 minutes and rinse with cold water.

6. Blow-dry the hair and style.
