Hair Wars: Light Purple Hair Color -Justine Skye Versus Amber Rose
Purple is a great color to indulge in especially if you are bold, daring or love to hit the music festival season. Nonetheless, it can come with it’s challenges, such as maintenance. We girl talked with several colorists who told us on average this particular tone will look fresh for about a month. After conversing with everyone we believe it’s safe to say every 4-6 weeks a touch up will be necessary.
Funny thing is one stylist mentioned that at one point they had the color fade away in just two weeks and on another occasion it lasted 24 weeks! The main key is finding a great colorist who can do it right as well as having good home care routines. Such as, always use color formulated hair products (i.e. shampoo/conditioner); and use a shower cap when showering to protect your hard-earned lavender color.
While it may not work in the workplace; if you can squeeze this style into your current lifestyle you are sure to turn some heads. Just like with Justine and Amber! We love how both of these stunners rocked this look. Justine kept hers sleek and straight; while Amber added a tad more drama with a deep side part and slight waves. Therefore, who wins?
You all came through with the votes and it was a landslide. While it started as a close match up, in the end 73% of you felt Justine’s light purple hair color style was the best. Congrats to Justine, you truly are the purple unicorn love!

Ahh, don’t you just love a great bonus? Well, today’s Hair Wars comes with a bit of a treat, tutorials! So many of you DMed us after this particular battle wanting to know how to get a rich purple hairstyle; and if it was safer than going a paler purple.

Nevertheless, this does not mean you can not get awesome purple hair all on your own. We just believe that seeking the help of a professional is not only less stress but safer. With that being said, here are a few amazing tutorials that we have watched a million times (LOL), that can aid you in going a gorgeous purple. Check them out and happy coloring!

Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy!
Demi Permanent Hair Color or Semi permanent hair color… ladies, that is the question! This hair debate never seems to end; however, one thing is for sure. Regardless, of which method you choose, you most likely want to not only keep your strands healthy; but also maintain if not grow more hair in the process.
Can it be done? Of course it can! Remember healthy hair clings or holds onto any applied hair color the best. So then, if your hair is dry or brittle, the color will most likely fade faster than normal. Yikes!
Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy
In this article we’re getting into the nitty gritty of hair color. We will explore and dive into what can be done to keep your tresses in top notch shape, even while you change up your color like a kid in a candy store.
In order to keep strands extremely healthy while implementing dyes, you must develop an excellent haircare routine specifically for hair color; and never deviate. For instance, what products do you currently use for your color treated hair? If they are the same ones you were using before you began your hair color journey; those same products may not still be as effective.
That’s why it’s important to use products specifically formulated for color treated hair or focus on heavy deep conditioning treatments. This would include regular hair masks, applying high quality hair oil to lock in moisture and deep conditioning treatments that can sit on the hair for at least 30 minutes before being rinsed out.
Also, if strands seem weak; a break from coloring may be in order. We know playing with the rainbow can be fun; but breakage and losing all your hair is not. So if your hair is not at its strongest, take 2-4 weeks to get them stronger before applying more hair color. This step is also beneficial to do before coloring your hair in general at all.
During this time of much needed hair rest, really condition your strands. This little break will give your tresses time to heal, restructure and fix a lot of damage. As a result, once you do add your color of choice, your hair will be able to man up and handle it effortlessly.
Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy (Continued)
Hair color can take a little more work and effort to maintain. However, the result is healthier tresses that continue to grow. Score.
Nevertheless, what types of hair color products should be utilized? Should you opt for Demi Permanent or perhaps Semi Permanent hair color items?
First of all, ask yourself, am I dealing with light graying; do I want to use no chemicals or perhaps do I need more coverage? If you wish to stay away from having a full head of permanent bleached strands then demi or semi permanent hair color is the way to go.
There’s not as much fuss with these types of dyes because unlike using permanent hair color… they’re not well, permanent. Every wash will cause the color to fade. Till eventually it’s completely gone.
Demi permanent lasts much longer than semi permanent hair color but it does has its drawbacks. You see Demi color can only darken hair and does contain small amounts of peroxide which helps the color to look richer. So then, if you wish to go lighter or want to stay chemical free you may not enjoy the Demi route.
Furthermore, for the above reasons, many opt to use semi permanent because it does not contain chemicals. You’re able to achieve coloring minus harmful elements.
Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy (Conclusion)
Nonetheless, always remember that the most important part is protecting your hair with the right products before and after processing. If you treat your hair like a treasure, it will look like one. So then, have fun with your hair, it’s your crown and glory! Just keep it well polished with an awesome regimen and you will be good to go.

This can be done through at-home maintenance. Always use shampoo specially formulated for color treated hair. Using a blue shampoo can help prevent strands from turning “yellowish” down the road.
Furthermore, if possible try to stretch your time between washes. Remember this particular hair color fades WAY quicker than most. So the less often you cleanse the longer the color will last.
Also, remember hair dyes can dry out strands. So then, hydrate your hair often by using a good conditioner for color treated hair. Additionally, you can also apply hair oil to your tresses to give them plenty of shine, nutrients as well as moisture.
What types of oils are among the best to use? Apply coconut oil, vitamin E oil, or also Macadamia Nut oil. Use and apply these types of oils consistently for the best results.

2017 Hair Color Trend: Pastel Pink Hair
When most girls decide to dye their strands normally they opt for a more “routine” hair color look. Maybe highlights, Beyonce platinum blonde or perhaps supermodel Jasmine Tookes ombré. However, nowadays it seems like it does not get any cooler or stylish than bold or multi-tone dyed hair. As a result, hair lovers begin to wonder what’s on deck next in the world of hair color. Therefore, what is trending for 2017? Three words y’all: Pink Pastel Hair from Adore Hair Color.
2017 Hair Color Trend: Pastel Pink Hair
Remember last year when gray hair hit the scene? That trend took off like wildfire and pretty soon we all looked like a super glam great grandma. The same momentum is occurring with “on Wednesdays we wear pink” tresses. Especially among celebrities.
Nicki Minaj debuted the pink pastel hair style with her now infamous down to there hair length. Stylist Tokyo Stylez also got down with pink gradient locks that starts at the roots. Moreover, Blac Chyna switched up the game by flipping script with pink pastel tips. Who’s look do you love the most out these chic triplets?
Quick Tips for Maintaining Pastel Pink Hair
It’s all fun and games until your awesome bubblegum tone hair looks a wee bit less popping. So then, how can you keep your pastel pink hair looking great longer? Here are a few pro tips!
- Prep Strands– A month before your dye job, take an honest look at your hair. Is it strong and healthy? If not, you could be in for a rude awakening. Hair dye unfortunately puts hair damage on blast. If your hair is dry or weak your resulting hair shade will emphasize it. Therefore, aim to start your hair color journey with a healthy head of hair. Perform deep conditioning treatments a few weeks before to make sure your hair color will look its absolute best.
- Go Pro– Money is tight these days, but don’t skimp on your hair. Box dyes will give you a look but only a professional colorist can give you the best quality pastel pink hair color. Also, in order to reach such a tone usually a pre-lightening step is involved. Do you know how to do that? If not, it’s highly recommended to just make a hair appointment.
- Space Out– Try your best to really space out your wash days. Shampoo strips hair color and makes it fade. So then, always be wary of products containing sulfates or alcohol- two enemies of hair color. It’s best to utilize color-safe and specially color formulated shampoos in order to maxamize the length of a hair dye job.

Amber Rose’s Dark Brown Hair with Highlights is Winning
Rose debuted her new hair this week at the exclusive Nylon Mag party. She killed her look from head-to-toe with flowing waist-length highlighted hair and a sassy rouge dress by Angel Brinks. The gown goes by the name “Flammable.” Fitting because Rose’s look was definitely fire!
Nevertheless, we love darker tresses on Amber because it compliments her lovely skin tone. Also, the highlights are noticeable, but still blend-able so that the overall look is soft, neat yet seductively spicy! On a scale of 10 this hair look on Amber is a solid 20.
Dark Brown Hair with Highlights Haircare Tips
The key to healthy looking hair that has been highlighted is to restore any lost hydration. Aim to deep condition strands often. Apply rich conditioning hair mask after shampooing and leave it on for at least 15 minutes to half an hour. The benefits will be clearly seen in no time flat. You will enjoy strands that are the polar opposite of “porus” with tons of bounce and shine.
Choose the right shampoo and conditioner. Now that your hair has been chemically altered you can’t use your regular old shampoo or conditioner anymore. Instead for products specially formulated for color treated strands. Such products will be PH balanced in order to be gentle and less harsh on color treated hair.
Coloring can leave hair dry due to the chemicals so then protect ends at all cost. Highlighted hair often sprouts ends that tend to fray; therefore, do really tiny trims just to avoid having split ends.
Avoid heat styling as much as possible, but if it cannot be avoided always use a thermal protector.
