Hiiii lovely ladies! I need some professional hair help... I have naturally dark brown hair, and I really want to die it a light purpley violet/plum. In the passed I've had a similar colour put through but it just looks like a darker brown up close and the colour only really shows a tinge in the natural sunlight!! Can some one give me some tips on how I can achieve this please, certain products? If I should maybe bleach before hand (which I don't really want to do)?? Thank you.

Manic panic's purple haze is the exact same color as the second pic.

Unfortunately you absolutely have to bleach to get such vibrant color otherwise it'll just be a purple tint. I've also used manic panic's purple haze and it only lasts through 2 or 3 washes just a heads up.

Yeah I figured I might have too, have you any idea what is the safest way to pre lighten your hair? Like anything without bleaching?7
I'm sorry I have no knowledge in hair colouring whatsoever! I probably won't try any of those semi-permanents because I want something long lasting

You'll have to bleach it but since it's a dark color you don't need to bleach it by much. You could use a 20 developer to get to a lighter brown, tone it and then color it and it'll be that color. Your hair color just needs to be at the same depth of color as that maybe just a little lighter and the hair color will make the tone that purple color :)

You do have to bleach or lighten your hair to achieve that color and I recommend you use the videl sasson london lilac I have that color and its lasted me weeks instead of days if you use any other dye
