Sherry, Thank you!!! The main color (medium brown with red tones) is by Ion Color Brilliance (available at Sally’s). I use the Light Copper Brown (5RC) color. For my purple streaks-
I bleached them first with SalonCare PrismLites Violet bleach (again, from Sally’s… I spend a lot of time there! /wink/). I mix it with 20 volume activator (also by Ion Color Brilliance). Then apply in streaks for about 30 minutes. For purple you don’t need to bleach super light.
Then I apply either Special Effects Deep Purple or Manic Panic in Ultra Violet or Manic Panic Purple Haze. And I let my color sit for hours & hours. Manic Panic & Special Effects are veggie dyes- hence, they won’t tear up your hair. I cover my streaks in plastic wrap and go about my day. Then just rinse and use a DARK towel to dry your hair for the first week or so.

I touch up my brown about every 4 weeks (roots & grays), and then I touch up my purple about every 4 weeks as well. I have them pretty well rotated to every 2 weeks I do one or the other.

I’ll be doing an article next week about hair color and a review of the Ion Color Brilliance too.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have *any* questions. I’ve been coloring my own hair since I was 16. I’ve been brown, blonde, pink, purple, red, strawberry blonde, blue, and all the shades in between (pretty much just not green, lol).
