I included a picture of what these dyes looked like on me. Ive tried a lot of dyes and these are my favs
Arctic fox doesn't agree with my hair personally, but if it works well on your hair, definitely go for this one. It was so purple and vibrant, it just didn't last long on my hair
Arctic Fox Semi Permanent Hair Color 4 oz. | Semi Permanent Hair Color | Sally Beauty
This purple is better if you like a pink undertone. And I like this one because it stuck really well in my hair, I didnt have to redye it to much
Unicorn Hair Pony Semi-Permanent Full Coverage Hair Color | Sally Beauty
This was my absolute favorite green dye. It stuck well in my hair and it was super vibrant in my hair
Unicorn Hair Jello Semi-Permanent Full Coverage Hair Color | Sally Beauty
This one stuck well and looked pretty good. I should've bleached my hair before dying it with this color though. It will look much more vibrant with a little bleach
iroiro 110 Green Premium Natural Semi Permanent Hair Color | Semi Permanent Hair Color | Sally Beauty
This was my first hair dye. (Awww) my natural color is dark brown, so I think this color looks amazing considering that I didnt do any bleach or lightener previous to this dye
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color Nourishing Color Creme - R3 Light Intense Auburn
This was my favorite semi permanent purple dye. This one is great for a very rich deep purple
Unicorn Hair Genie Semi-Permanent Full Coverage Hair Color | Sally Beauty
Developer
Definitely look at the instructions on whatever dye or bleach you use to see if you need the 20 or 30 volume developer
I like this specific developer because of its sensitive scalp formula. It doesn't burn
Sensitive Scalp 20-Volume Creme Developer - ION101 | Sally Beauty
This is my fav developer for bleaching my hair. It lifts just enough
ion Sensitive Scalp 30 Volume Creme Developer 32 oz | Color Developers
I have never personally used 40 volume but if youre looking for a lot of lift then it will be good for that.
ion Sensitive Scalp 40 Volume Creme Developer 8 oz | Color Developers
Bleach
Pretty straightforward, but this is the bleach I use
This is my fav bleach powder. You dont necessarily need this big of a bag but I think its helpful to have on hand.
Quick White Powder Lightener 1 lb by Salon Care | Lightener | Sally Beauty
This one is ammonia free so its more gentle. This one is also a smaller quantity, if you have longer hair get more than one.
ion Ammonia-Free Powder Lightener 1oz. | Lightener | Sally Beauty
Tools
These are my fav tools that I use dying my hair
You definitely need some kind of clips to section your hair with. I prefer these ones
Black Super Croco Clips by Salon Care | Hair Accessories | Sally Beauty
Depending on the dye you might not need a bowl, but if the dye requires developer than definitely get one of these
Salon Care Hair Color Mixing Bowl in Black
These are great to get the color to develop a little faster, and also they keep everything clean while youre waiting to rinse out the dye
Professional Processing Caps 3 Count | Sally Beauty
Definitely need gloves, these ones are my favorites
Salon Care Medium 10ct Black Nitrile Gloves | Sally Beauty
These are great gloves, and they're pink!
Framar Pink Paws Nitrile Coloring Gloves Small | Gloves | Sally Beauty
Cleanup
This is everything ive found helpful while cleaning up after doing my hair
I find that Micellar water gets dye off the skin pretty well. Obviously its dye, its gonna stain the skin, but the Micellar water gets the stain mostly out
All In One Micellar Face Cleansing Water - 13.5fl oz - up&up™
Always have some kind of cleaning wipes on hand when youre dying your hair, just incase of any spills or drops that get on the floor
Lysol Lemon and Lime Blossom Disinfecting Wipes- 80ct
