After stripping all that pigment, your hair is basically screaming for a hug. This is the part where we deep condition like our lives depend on it. Slather on your most luxurious, heavy-duty hair mask. Leave it on for at least 15 minutes—longer if your hair feels like straw.
If you don’t have a mask, use a generous amount of coconut oil or olive oil (your kitchen is a hair salon now). Work it through, let it soak in for 20 minutes, then shampoo again—just once, with a gentle shampoo this time. Your hair will thank you with softness and shine, minus the purple tint.
Pro tip: Never condition before you wash out the purple. Conditioning first will seal the pigment in, and you’ll be stuck with a lavender llama look for weeks. Save the love for after the stain is gone.
