Purple Bob– How-to

Step 1:

Start by sectioning the hair off all around the parietal bone and lower nape of the neck and then undercut. The overall shape of the hair cut is a classic box bob with length to about the cheek bone. The fringe was sectioned out to keep it heavy.

Step 2:

Begin by pre-lightening the hair to a light blonde to achieve this colour intensity. Then, apply XP100 shade black 1.0 mixed with 6% developer to the undercut section of the hair.

Step 3:

Next, mix 50ml Celeb Luxury Viral Colorwash Purple with 25ml Celeb Luxury Viral Colorwash Hot Pink and apply to the root area – then smudge down to the mid-lengths

Step 4:

Continue by applying just the Hot Pink shade from the mid length to the ends of the hair. Leave to develop for 30 mins, re-applying a second time if a more intense colour is desired

Step 5:

For this particular look, use a round brush when drying — not too perfectly though, so as to give a little bit of bluntness

Step 6:

Complete the look by using a Maria Nila’s Style & Finish Styling Mousse and Paul Mitchell’s Neon Sugar Spray Texture & Body Salt Spray
