How do you make lilac hair color?

Published in Hair Coloring 2 mins read

To achieve a lilac hair color, you'll typically need to pre-lighten your hair and then apply a dye or toner that contains a mix of violet and/or blue tones, often diluted to create a soft, pastel effect. Here’s how you can do it using demi-permanent options:

Achieving Demi-Permanent Lilac Hair Color

For a long-lasting lilac shade with a glossy shine, you can use the following formula from Color Touch, based on pre-lightened hair:

  • Mixing Ratio: Combine one part 0/68 with 20 parts 10/0 from Color Touch. This specific blend will result in a beautiful lilac tone.

    Product Code Ratio
    Color Touch 0/68 1
    Color Touch 10/0 20

Other Options for Vibrant Lilac

Beyond the primary method above, you can achieve varying shades of vibrant lilac by intermixing and diluting different shades. These include:

  • Dilution and Intermixing: Experiment with shades like 9/96, 7/86, and 0/68 to create customized vibrant lilac results.
  • Base Color: It is very important to have a base color that is light enough, often a level 9 or 10, for the lilac to show up properly. If your hair is darker, you may need to lighten it with bleach before adding color.

Practical Tips for Lilac Hair Color

  • Strand Test: Before applying any color to your entire head, perform a strand test to ensure you are happy with the result.
  • Professional Consultation: Consult a professional stylist. They can assess your hair's condition and recommend the best approach to achieve lilac hair safely.
