If you're a regular reader of Face Value Beauty Blog (anyone?!) then you will probably know that I DIY dye my naturally black hair to the current purple/blue/pink shade. There are actually a few purple hair dyes out there, but which one is best?
Today, in the name of beauty science, I've done a highly non-scientific test to try some of the top semi-permanent purple colours out there.

Purple Hair Experiment: Crazy Colour vs Schwarzkopf XXL vs La Riche Directions
So after I cut my long hair short, I was loving the new style but really missing the purple colour I had previously. Having had bleached colour in my hair for so long, going back to my natural colour just felt really flat and myeh- particularly since I've FINALLY got a non-corporate finance job where I could rock rainbow hair if I really wanted!
So what did I do? Decided to brave the bleach and do it myself, that's what! I've harped on about colouring my own hair purple in blog posts before, but never caught it on camera.

VIDEO: How I Dyed My Dark Hair Purple Using Live Color XXL.
Here's the story. To honour my new, slightly-less-corporate-but-still-quite-corporate job, I decided to inject a bit of colour into my hair. I couldn't go too far though - I will be working in Fashion (swoon) but I'm still a Finance bod and bright red hair (a la Rihanna in the What's My Name video) is only going to be a teeeeny bit SERIOUSLY frowned on.
But last year, when I went to China, I got some super-awesome-love-them bright red ombre layers (see my China & Hong Kong Cosmetics post) and I absolutely adored them. I got to inject a bit of personality into my black hair, whilst still keeping the party under wraps in the office.
Unfortunately, bright red hair fades fast and it wasn't long before my Rihanna Red layers were heading towards Hayley from Paramore - aka orange.
So, as a birthday treat, I decided to treat myself (aka let me Mr FV treat me)
to a salon dye-job to reinstate my coloured layers. I also wanted to try something different - Katy Perry purple rather than Rihanna red - and I went to the home of cray-cray coloured hair, Bleach in Dalston.
If you don't know Bleach London, get to know. Specialising in colour, their Instagram feed is a haven of pastels, flouro and beautiful, beautiful hair colour.
Hope you think my new hair colour is equally beautiful! Check it out.
