So my job has recently allowed us to have unatural hair and I'm stoked because I've always wanted to dye my hair but never had a chance because of my employment.

My natural hair color is black (not dark brown) and I've always been scared to dye it for fear of looking ridiculous, but I'm ready to take the plunge.

I want to do a nice purple with blue undertones, and I want to know if you guys know any good bleach brands.

I have a neutral beige complexion, my hair is medium short and I'm wondering if I should do a full head or ombré.

This is the color I want but I'm unsure if I'm too dark for it.

I think that color might work with your skin tone if it was ombré, but I think you should go with a color that is a little darker and do an ombré

You are going to need to bleach your hair to a level 10 (very damaging) I would use ion color brights from Sally's. I would mix the shark blue either with the lava set or just a little bit of purple.

Thank you @sophia I was definitely considering an ombré. I just hope my hair can handle the bleach.

@patty I was thinking of trying the brand Artic Fox I've heard really good things about them, do you have any experience with that brand?

Camille, I also have heard great things about attic fox, and want to try it, but I have Sally's a few blocks away and I have used ion brights since they came out, and I like the results. If you are going to do it yourself I suggest not to go blonde in a single process, at least let your hair rest a week and do deep condition treatments between bleaching. Use a blue based bleach with vol 20 peroxide. And do protein treatments every couple of months after bleaching your hair. If you can't get olaplex like Hailey suggested you could use ion booster step 1 you will need a bottle for every two ounces of bleach and just an envelope of step 2.
