This colour came out a brilliant pinky purple - but only on the palest of bleached hair. I bleached all my hair before dying - my roots were a (natural) ash blonde and towards the tips were assorted faded colours - ending in a very faded black (more like a red brown) After bleaching the roots of my hair were WHITE and the tips that familiar rusty yellow blonde that many people with naturally black hair get when they bleach. I applied the dye to the roots of my hair working in down towards the tips. Naturally it was a disaster. I didn't have enough dye to get to the ends of my very fine shoulder length dye, and the dye wouldn't take over the yellow blonde. I ended up with beautiful purple roots and yellow mid lengths and ends. Yuck. However all of these problems are mostly my fault. Next time i would a) bleach the absolute crap out of all my hair b) buy at least three bottles!! -Phoenix-

I used this mixed with the Lilac on my already bleach blonde hair, and after two applications was pretty even. (the underneath of my hair was slightly yellow and this dye made that go a faded pink colour. A section just under my roots where I had recently done my roots and my poor damaged ends were the best result with this shade. However, i dont see how people can say it doest fade - mine faded after one wash! (Even though i added colour to a white conditioner in the hope that it would top up whatever i washed out) Anyway, bought more of lavender and lilac, came today, and I marinated my hair (heat, cling film) and left it on as long as I could be bothered. I think this was 2-3 hours. I ave heard with some dyes, people marinate it overnight and it lasts for 6+ weeks! I am really hoping this time it doesnt fade, I have added a LOT more to my conditioner then I was able to last time. Oh and just seen the Violet shade - pretty much how the Lavender/Lilac (4:1 pot ratio) looks on my hair.
