To begin with it was just how blonde my rootage was that was so noticeable, but as the weeks went by i was noticing my hair was turning more and more green rather than fading to my natural colour. Before you use La Riche Plum Purple hair dye make sure to read the instructions and perform a patch test. It is not possible for us to draw any conclusions about you, and any data collected as a result will never be passed on to third parties. It did take ages for it to wash out and was still running a little pink before I just towelled and dried. To achieve this purple I went a bit crazy and mixed the three dyes in all the combinations I could, so that I had four different shades on my head (Plum/Violet, Plum/Neon Blue, Violet/Neon Blue, Neon Blue/Violet/Plum) because I really wanted to achieve different tones of purple.

The results will vary depending on your hair colour, hair type, the process and the products used before dying. Colours in the tub/bottle are not necessarily an indication of the final hair colour and the dyes can vary slightly between batches, therefore dye results cannot be guaranteed. I had it with Atlantic Blue and I had to redye the blue at least 4 times as often as I did the Plum! Our Hair Dye FAQ section has lots of useful hints and tips on how to get the best from the type of hair dyes we sell.Lucky for me I’ve grown to love my red hair, but even today when my colour starts to fade, the green is still visible underneath my hair dye! Getting a little desperate as my holiday drew closer i decided to try ColourB4…which deserves a whole post of its own so i wont go into detail about that experience now, but the end result was incredibly blonde rootage but the rest of my hair was still bright green! The easy to follow instructions and simple application process help you create the ultimate look with ease.

Again i began using natural methods to fade the colour in my hair (baking soda, vitamin C, etc) but the green wasn’t fading at all. Sorry that you've had such a bad experience with the plum, a lot of people haven't been happy with it since Directions changed it + have been having a really difficult time removing it.

Sizing varies a great deal, not only between manufacturers but also between different styles from the same manufacturer. If it's still pretty dark you could try some fading treatments like vitamin c/baking soda with a clarifying shampoo. As before, the colour was applied straight on top of my natural blonde and it came out a beautiful Cadbury’s purple again.

This magnificent colour is made using La Riche's conditioning formula to help keep your hair healthy. I tried all the home solutions, baking soda, dandruff shampoo, the vitamin C method, lemon juice; you name it we tried it, but nothing removed the colour completely! During those months i moved to university and began experimenting with the colours available, mixing my own blue shades by combining different half empty pots of Directions and trying slightly darker blues in the range such as Neon Blue, which came out a beautiful deep indigo on my hair! I was topping my colour up every 10 days or so to keep it vibrant and even mixing my conditioner with it whenever i showered didn’t massively hold off the fading.The only option i had left was to put a red dye over my hair to neutralize the green tones and essentially keep applying the red until the green underneath has all grown out of my hair.
