How to dye your hair pastel lilac/ lavendar/ violet

[@katiewilliams8909]

2019 and I've just found baby Helen!! It's brilliant to see how far you've come.

[@carlystark5554]

oh my gosh this was the first helen video id ever seen. So different from now ..

[@QueenJaneway]

Winter is coming 😝 but yes, this was the first I saw too.

[@NikkiLove9022]

[@helenanderz]

HELEN THIS IS SO CRINGE!!!

[@olinagallina]

Helen Anderson ❤️❤️❤️

[@RubyTuesdayJB]

This is the first video I watched of yours all those years ago and I subscribed...been following you ever since....Soooo long ago!

[@iiiiiccccc]

no it's great! I saw this in 2011 and still follow you! Im a terrible follower though, cuz I always forget to like and comment.. but I watch ALL. x

[@lizziearthur6114]

CUTE X

[@emy9272]

this was the video that made everyone fall in love with you!! :p

[@helenanderz]

@k172134 im already quite bold. but if its bald you mean, then no, i look after my hair. the products i use are conditioning and not harmful. except the bleach, but i hardly use it. xxx

[@TheSammami]

Oh my god I remember these tutorials being the reason I noticed Helen in the first place! Look how she has grown :)

[@helenanderz]

@xsammmie1 i knoooow but its getting better thanks. thats what bleaching does!

[@TheMCRmy17]

Just watching this back again since I'm colouring my hair lilac next week and it's honesty amazing to see how far you've progressed with video recording and editing! Always look forward to watching your videos and daily vlogs :)

[@helenanderz]

@speakerssneakers2 the directions is dye :D xxx

[@kjosieberto]

OMG her voice is beautiful. so is she .

[@SammyKitty92]

I don't think you're boring at all. Actually one of my favorite videos of yours.

[@RIZR.]

I'm brown skin but I really want this color ! And you are super gorgeous :)

[@DeiDeSaint]

I think you could really pull off this color, I say try it out :)

[@meganforrest4458]

Ummmm... I would go with a darker version, but that's my opinion. I bet you could rock anything.

[@ashrivera8432]

A lot of people say that people with darker skin look better with lighter colours... They stand out more and the contrast is pretty :) I think you should try it

[@bananalizardgirl]

I think this color would look great on you, no matter what skin shade! Honestly though, when I draw characters with this hair color, I tend to give them darker skin, bc the colors compliment each other so well.

[@getdown8990]

you would look gorgeous in it!

[@helenanderz]

@xXxWBBxXx thats just my conditioner. i had to mix a few as i was running out haha!

[@anniemochi5045]

Who else watches this on 2015?

[@annekohnke4283]

Guilt-aaahhh

[@analyciaharris6477]

[@isopodch.4599]

Me.

[@helenanderz]

@TheAzerath noooo it last a few washes. but try online! xx

[@StefanyxHerrera]

I love her accent!

[@DangerouslyClumsyXD]

You would have to bleach your hair a lot to get it to a light blonde or possibly a white, so it can look like this. To not damage your hair, bleach it between intervals. It may take three or four tries before your hair gets light enough. Just remember that with bleach, it's important to bleach your hair every several days, so as not to damage it. c: Good luck!

[@TheEmriggs]

I used schwarzkopf nordic blonde lightener to get my hair to blonde without having to bleach my hair, it comes in three different strengths depending on how dark your hair is. Took me two treatments of that plus a hit of silver toner through it to take all the yellow out! Then just use La Riche Directions dye in any of the shades of purple (plum, lilac, lavender and violet) mix it with conditioner and use it as a dye, leave it in for an hour and if still not the shade you want a bit longer :)

[@sabersworn]

Wow you gained a lot of subscribers since I saw this in 2011. Good job.

[@helenanderz]

@TheCeeBAbee yeaaah... but as a pot last FOREVER you can keep touching it up xx

[@ashxx9579]

So I have brown eyes and I don't know if this looks good if i'm gonna dye my hair in this colour.. (it's naturally brown)

[@kleomania2224]

sammee

[@getdown8990]

of course it will. why wouldn't it?

[@flamek05]

Out of all the tutorials I seen I love yours the most. Your hair came out a pretty color.

[@EpicPenguins600]

you look so much like a mix between demi lovato and perrie edwards x

[@helenanderz]

@isabeau726 well my hair still quite dry but usuing hair masks and deep conditoner helps xxx

[@cuteyangelkitten]

Lizzie sent me here! :3

[@itsjellymonster]

try foxy locks extensions in platinum blonde. i just got mine. and they are BEAUTIFUL! soo soft and theyre remy unlike most. which means the cuticle is all running the same direction.

[@mariochoa7803]

You look like Perrie from Little Mix!!

[@directkilljoy]

Yeah, i know right! but Perrie is a little tanner

[@mariochoa7803]

Shady EatzChildrenz Yeah, but besides that she really looks like her

[@directkilljoy]

She does. I cat argue with that bcuz she does lol.!

[@PlumPumpkinCushee]

Leave it on for as long as you want. The longer you leave it on, the longer the colour will last. I dye my hair with directions and I usually put on the dye, wrap my hair in cling film and sleep with it on over night. It also makes your hair really soft. I wouldn't put it on for the amount it says on the tub of dye like the other person said cause it's says only 15 mins but that will only last you 1-3 washes.

[@wonderlandsss]

LDShadowLady :D

[@44Greenwood44]

oh god, I was depressed and bored to wait after my hair to grow in order to dye them exactly as yours and plug in extensions.. but now you are showing me that I could get that haircut right now if I want! thank you! I'll dye my hair as soon as my roots are done

[@alex-mk2yx]

why do people dye their hair if it makes their hair look like shit

[@alex-mk2yx]

it doesnt make me look like shit ive never colored my hair :D

[@TheEighthElephant]

allison dakin So every person on the planet who has ever dyed their hair looks like shit? Alrighty then.

[@alex-mk2yx]

not them, their hair

[@lilytepper8382]

allison dakin Your attitude is shit.

[@alex-mk2yx]

Lily Tepper your bleached hair is shit

[@helenanderz]

@DarkTemptati0ns i didnt get them in camdem but i guess u can buy the there too :D xxx

[@helenanderz]

@FaithDaWylie id say white if you can, but really blonde should work ! xxx

[@pumpkingothy]

12 years and i remember watching this like it was yesterday! Its amazing how far you have come and i am still so happy to be watching you this many years on! Always been a gem Helen 💖

[@helenanderz]

@k1tsch83 only a couple! that why using less makes it last longer, making it cheaper to maintain xxx

[@completeconfusionn]

i have no interest in dying my hair lavender because i simply could not keep up with it, but i really just wanted to let you know you are beautiful! i can tell you have lots of self confidence too in the way you talk, and your voice is amazing! :)

[@jnorman20]

finally. i have been looking for how to do this. i only want to do a small section on the underside of my hair first, so you just see it when my hair is in a ponytail. then if i like it i'll do some other parts. but my hair is naturally a dark/ medium brown, so i need to bleach and tone the crap out of it to get it white enough to do this!

[@sillylilkoala]

I'm obsessed with this hair color. I love that actually it's not that pricey when you consider how bleach and developer can be bought in bulk and you dilute the dye with cheap conditioner... I'm going to do this after I dye my hair magenta for awhile.

[@BeautyRepublicUnited]

@electricmoo88 no the creme developer will lift and deposit the color better so you will get dark purple hair.

[@CUPCAKExFACTORY]

Her voice

[@helenanderz]

@BigFatPandas no that was just my conditioner xxxx

[@TinaLikesYou]

You are such a stunner! I'm in the first stages of going pastel and I've gotta say you're definitely my hair inspiration. Hairspiration? Oh gosh. I don't even know.

[@helenanderz]

@TheCeeBAbee probably but it will be darker! xxx

[@RachaelO]

Would you suggest putting a toner on my hair first (before putting pastel pink in)? It's pretty light but I'm worried it'll go peach again sigh

[@Stayxbeautofulxkeepx]

it needs to be WHITE! like beyond platinum blond. Helen made a video on how to get it white, but if you buy either Directions Silver Toner or White Toner you'll be good. if you dont want to dye your hair you can buy Shimmer and Lights silver and blonde shampoo and and conditioner. you wash your hair with it 3 times a week and let it sit in for a good 5 mins and you'll have white hair in NO TIME, that's what i use.

[@SadeMetsavirta]

I have light blonde hair, would I still have to bleach it if I want to take a few violet highlights etc? :) Love your hair btw!

[@lkaicruas]

oh my i could listen to her talk about anything all day

[@nabiilaBee]

Doesn't the conditioner make the colour faade faster ?

[@kirstenrobl7171]

That's why you put the rest of the dye in your conditioner and use it Everytime you wash your hair.

[@ItsCatDragon]

this is the first video I've ever saw of you Melon! that was a little over a year ago now.. look where you are now! its amazing!

[@helenanderz]

@MrBenAlan2011 its really conditioning the dye. xxxx

[@battiey]

just putting this out there, the purple may not work as well in your hair coz purple is commonly used to counter the yellow in hair (i.e purple shampoo) so it may not stick as well, it may help get rid of the yellow and leave a slight purple tint though? also when buying shampoo and what not try and find ones that say protien coz that'll help heal your hair :) hope that helps a lil :)

[@RJAYourGuardianAngel]

I had the same problem, how long did you leave it in for? I left it in for half an hour, and it worked quite well after that. Leaving it in for an hour would probably definitely do it, since it's only a conditioning hair colour. When you wash it out, just rinse it with cold water, as cold as yo can bear. That seals it into the hair shaft, and don't wash it for a day or two to let it settle :) Hope it works :)

[@ttaylorfaithh]

when you dye your extensions, do you have to wash them to get the colour out? cause eventually i would want to change the colour to another pastel colour

[@Pinupgirlcrashes]

I could not find lavender hair color so I totally used this trick. AMAZING! Thanks for the tip:D

[@xJessHall]

Ive got this already in my extensions. Planning on going ALL lilac tomorrow. To get back blonde would I have to bleach it out or would it fade back to my bleached blonde?

[@bandaidl0ve]

Awesome, never thought of using a strong color to make a light color. Question though, do you use toner to get you hair white enough to put in the lavender? Also, what other than conditioner could be used to make the color lighter? I have dreadlocks in the making so conditioner is a no-no. Thanks for sharing your wisdom :D

[@DavidandTere]

Sutera Vantum- Both things before the color were conditioner. You can read the bottle of the 2nd thing it even says conditioner.

[@binarystars1]

for your light/pastel hair colors, does your color run a lot or does it stay rather well?

[@helenanderz]

@Poptart956801 yeaaaaah it is, but its getting better!

[@Contrakook97]

This video gave me the push I need to dye my hair lilac 8 years ago. I’ll always love this color I even went out off my way to buy the same brand because they don’t have it in the US. It was worth it

[@angiehobodirtystash]

Another question :p does it fade faster since its such a light~pastel color? Does it need a lot of maintenance? How often would I need to redye it? That's more like 3 questions but answers would greatly be appreciated :)

[@eimearr94]

What foundation do you use? Your skin looks flaaaawless!

[@TinyToraYoga]

I love your color! I have been trying to achieve a lighter version of this color. However, I am having some trouble. I had a golden toned blonde on the bottom layer of my hair. I lightened it with bleach, then toned it with a silver toner. After drying it I decided I wanted a little more of a lilac color, so I used a lavender hair dye.When I washed it out, the color came out blue toned? I am wondering what I should do now?

[@luckygirl1616]

bleach...but to make sure the bleach doesn't damage your hair when rinsing it out put lots of conditioner and shampoo (thats how i've always done it and i have brown hair) it will turn out soft and lighter than before :3

[@helenanderz]

@Miochellas thankyou! :) the camera i used for this video is a canon 550 xx

[@jemma5250]

so what do you need? conditioner, and the colour jar thingy.. i really want to dye my hair purple. pretty much exactally like yours. so where can i get that colour thing and is that all you need? also how long does it stay? is it permnent? sorry i ask ALOT!! of questions haha :) you're really pretty c:

[@helenanderz]

@MsBecca65 a local shops in norwch where i live but you can get it online! :D just write dirctions hair colours in google! :D xxx

[@ToxicDragonfly]

When you bleach your roots do you add conditioner to it to keep it from damaging?

[@treasahayes579]

Would you recommend getting the lilac color if it's available and diluting it or doing this instead??

[@helenanderz]

@ThatGirlVictoriaa noo haha.... im english.. :) my accent is all over the place though as ive lived in a few different places! :D xxx

[@breaststrokeswimmer]

I am gonna get my brown hair extensions and dye the tips lilac. Do you think it will work with dark brown hair? Btw I love your dog it looks so much like mine!

[@VipreBlackTae]

did you straighten ur hair? if you didnt i'd have to say you rocked it pretty well hun. :)

[@shazzymcsharry]

Since you dilute it so much, does the color not last long? Also, do you have to bleach it first? I want lavender hair but have never died my hair before! I've got darkish blond hair. Help me pleaseeeeee

[@gonejellyfishin]

You could remove the red hair color to get it to a lighter blonde of your natural hair color. Then if you do a bleach wash (a little bit of bleach, a little bit of shampoo) it'll lighten it enough for you to dye it white, then lilac.

[@x0tarahjade]

i know this was sad already lovely, i just want to double check! so basically to dilute/make a color lighter you add conditioner?

[@bubbleybathh]

How long do you leave the dye on for? And do you apply it to dry hair? Used the silver today, complete waste of time. Aiming for lilac!

[@tiiggger]

I'm guessing you shampoo your hair after that? Just wondering cause I was thinking about mixing some conditioner with sfx/manic panic to make it last longer cause I have long hair and it takes 2 tubs to do my hair normaly D: but I also have thinish hair so I wouldn't want the conditioner weighing it down too much so would it make it fade too much if you shampoo it afterwards?

[@BeauteeSuperGeek]

hey! im dying my hair this colour after christmas and i was wondering how long the dye last for and how well will it go on to medium brown hair? :) xox

[@xXxWBBxXx]

Was that purple-thingy you put in before the colour just purple/lilac conditioner or something special??

[@00Becky00]

Lush hair! :) How bleach blonde was your hair beforehand? I've just used the "Colour B4" to strip out some colour rather than bleach as I don't want to spoil my hair condition...and it's just left with a dull yellow. Dya think it'll cover? Xx

[@AhoiCapnCheyYouTubeCaptain]

HELP!! Lol. Does it have to be Directions hair dye to turn out this good? I don't wanna wait to order it :( I was going to buy Splat hair dye and use that. Can you mix splat with conditioner? I just don't know if mixing with conditioner works with any brand or just directions.

[@danasmith8297]

you have to have totally WHITE hair. It will not work on blond hair, it has to be toned to white. Also you can not use conditioner before you dye your hair this color the color wont stick if you do. You also want to mix the color to be about one shade darker then you originally want it to be, most hair that has a hard time grabbing on to color just needs a bit more pigment in the dye to conditioner ratio. hope this helped.

[@LavendarMoonlight]

can you list the suplies needed please?Also,if I never dyed my hair.My hair is black,would it still get the lavender color?

[@helenanderz]

@electricmoo88 ooh i dont know probably best using conditioner! xxx

[@cathiewatson7622]

What's the brand you use? Love the colour and the conditioner tip!

[@sarawr0826]

when you dilute hair dye with conditionar does the color fade faster?

[@abigaillouiselibre2418]

hiya:) i really want my hair like your colour i think its lovely!! but a couple of things are stopping me, my hair is like really damaged as ive dyed it so much so i dont want it to get worse? also, my hair isnt like bleach white blonde so im not sure if it will turn out like that?? its like a yellow at the moment (its horrible) and then aswell my extensions? then also, will it like fade really quickly because i dont want it do go straight away? thankyou:)

[@xxShikiMitsukaixx]

@shazzymcsharry If you have darkish blonde hair (im jelly cause dying will be easy for you) just use a toner to remove brassy colors, this also lightens your already somewhat light hair. Then yeah follow her instructions :]

[@lovegood4ever]

how often would you say you need to use the diluted dye? I've watched a few videos where they do it everyday and some where they do it once a week. this was really helpful by the way, your hair is such a pretty colour (:

[@randomnus101]

veryy pretty and where do u buy the hair dye cause i can only find it online so far

[@briesibleyy]

:D I'm so happy you're on! Well, maybe.. How does your hair feel after the bleaching and dying? I have brunette hair and I have been wanting to do this for a looong time! I've been taking care of my hair extra well just for this. :) Though just the thought of having dead/dry hair sends me in the shivers..

[@Itsmeryliec]

question if you get lilac by directions do you still have to mix it with conditioner?

[@iamtheohearmerawr]

Stop hating . helenn I think u are beautiful !!! Ur hair is super funky

[@AhoiCapnCheyYouTubeCaptain]

Hey! Sorry it's me again :( ahaah! Two questions! 1. How many bottles of directions dye do u get for ur hole head? I also use extensions. They go to my lower back. and idk how much dye u use since u mix it with condoner. 2. Would u recommend getting the pastel pink? Or getting a darker pink and mixing it with conditioner? Just wondering hehe

[@billiejo8082]

You are legitimately one of the most beautiful people I have ever laid my eyes on. And your voice is very pleasant.

[@hannahff]

@TheWickedAmazingName .... 5-10 mins to help the texture and stop it from drying out ( lemon juice can be drying as well as conditioning ) . Hope that's helped

[@snowblindead]

Then u just dip your hair in it! It can be a little tricky to get your whole head down, but u'll learn. Mixing the color u do it like u usually do, just take as much as feels good. I really think you should try it! I've also got an awesome tip how to maintain the pastelcolor - without re-dying it! Whaaaaaat? But this is getting too long now, maybe some other time! Friendly wishes, stay awesome!

[@getdown8990]

did you just do violet and then add lavender just to the tips? or did you mix violet and lavender?

[@AshleyMaklin]

Since you diluted the violet with so much conditioner, about how long does this purple last?

[@molliewedgwood5782]

How many tubs of directions would you usually use for your length/thickness of your hair? I'm thinking of doing the same as you but dying the ends turquoise/atlantic blue and i just want to know how much all of it would cost. thanks! x

[@helenanderz]

@beebyrdx Are you from The US because I heard its hard to get directions over there. Get a violet if you can and dilute it like I do in the tuttorial :) if not you can get it online or I think manic panic have their own version... but we dont have it here in the UK xxx
