Intense hair colors as an alternative to blondes: violet, blue and black

Are you tired of the blonde trend but don't want to fall on the cliche of dyeing your hair red or brunette?

Don't worry since more than ever, established houses like Wella are the best in offering you an alternative that has nothing to envy to the eternally overrated blonde.

Cold and warm shades are added to brunette tones to enhance the full effect and they are definitely easier to maintain than blondes

Violet hair color

can manic panic hair color be trusted?

There are many ways to dye your hair in violet tones, and it all depends on how long do you want the results to last. Either you bleach your hair and add the tone or simply put extensions to your hair if you want simple strands of hair with that color.

There are other options such as color sprays which barely last a day, or non permanent no-ammonia colors that last up to 1 or 2 weeks.

Brunette doesn't have to be boring

If you are going from blonde to brunette, remember that it is not an easy transition. Putting darker tones over blondes directly results in a slightly lighter tone, and also in opaque, dull tones if not done right.

I would definitely advise using an ash medium tone first and then the darker tone to make a more complete transition.

But aside from that, going from blonde to brunette is relatively simple.
