About Lilac
Lilac requires lifting the hair close to platinum, then toning it with a pastel purple pigment. Because purple neutralizes yellow, lilac also covers the brassy tones of lightened hair. It’s semi-permanent, so it fades within a few weeks, and purple shampoo protects both the shade and its silvery fade.
It suits cool and neutral undertones very well. With soft cuts like long waves, a fishtail braid or a wavy lob it looks dreamy, while with crisp lines like a hime cut it looks modern and avant-garde.
How long does lilac hair last?
It usually fades noticeably within two to four weeks. Purple shampoo and refreshing with a color-depositing conditioner extend that time.
Which skin tones suit lilac?
It’s most flattering on cool and neutral undertones. On warm skin, a pinker lilac can look softer. Seeing it on your own photo is the clearest way to know.
