Violet forgives a rough bleach, because purple pigment covers residual warmth instead of being wrecked by it. On the ends it reads dense and glossy in shade and opens to a brighter grape in sun. The fade is graceful, dropping to a dusty lilac and then a silvery gray-lavender, which means the growing out stage still looks deliberate rather than neglected.

Undertonecool. Purple stays cool at every dilution, so it holds clean against pink and olive undertones and separates sharply from a warm brown base.
Starting pointThe ends need lifting to a light yellow around level eight, though violet is tolerant enough that slight warmth left behind will not wreck the result.
UpkeepA gloss or color conditioner every four to six weeks holds the depth, there is no scalp regrowth to correct, and the bleached section wants a weekly bond treatment.
