Can I dye my hair light purple?

Hi, I'm a cosplayer! For those of you that don't know what that means, it's when you dress up as an anime character. I plan on going to a con as Kagami from Lucky Star, and she has long purple pigtails. The convention isn't until May 08, but chances are my hair still won't be as long as hers.

I've dyed my hair before. I used temporary red and copper colours, and I've dyed my hair red with permanent. Recently, I bleached my hair blonde. My natural hair colour is a medium-dark brown. Right now it it a golden blonde, but I have my roots showing and they're growing in fast.

I want to dye my hair a very light purple for the con. Think powder blue but... well... purple. My hair might be about halfway down my back by the con, and I want to be sure I have enough to get a proper, even colour all over. Can anybody tell me, is there any dye I can get? I would not like to resort to wearing a wig. Kagami: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en...

manic panic has colors that look like they match that!

since your hair is already bleached it should take the color super easily.

You can try getting purple extensions if you're worried about your hair not being long enough.

Just go to a hairstylist with a sample of the haircolor you want.

I vote get it dyed the week before to make sure all your hair doesn't fall out from bleaching it. ha :]

I know this from personal experience: Manic Panic and other colors don't stay in for more than a week, unless they are put into extensions. If you REALLY wanted to color your hair purple, you would have to bleach it platinum blonde or maybe even lighter, and then color it with permanent purple, which would KILL your hair.

Honestly, I would wear the wig, otherwise you could totally kill your hair.

Hope that I could help!

Mystic Heather. My friend had this color and it turned out almost just like that sinc her her hair was already light blue. I would say mix the Heather with just a tad of the Bad Boy Blue (just a little, mix until it starts showing up a bit blueish and add a BIT AT A TIME), bleach your hair to a very light blonde (longer for the roots) and dye it with the Manic Panic. You can get all of this at Sally about 30 dollars in total, and one Manic Panic tub is about 4 ounces, so it should give a lot of mileage, since you can reuse leftovers. Don't forget to add a bit to your shampoo to prevent fading, and wash with cold water. Drop me a line if you're unclear about anything.

if it's a light purple ... be careful. you might have to die it all blonde to get it one color . roots and all. then a day later use light purple.

my concern is that your roots will be a darker shade of a purple than your light colored longer hair will be a lighter shade of purple on the same head. this is a lot of chemicals and processing for your hair . then when you get tired of purple or it grows out you will have color again.

now if you are gonna wait til next year to go purple then i would lay off the chemicals for awhile. if you change to a darker color , they will probably have to bleach it blonde to get it light enough for the purple to come through. they can do that , but you should probably color yours back to natural color and stop coloring it for the winter.

you might want to speak to a professional. after you do this with the purple you are gonna want to change again . you do not want to end up with a disaster. figure out your plan for the next few months .

good luck to you.
