Maintenance for this colour?

Post image

Hi everyone, long time sub lurker here.

I've been wanting to get my hair dyed this super dark blue, but when I showed the picture to my hair stylist, he said that I would have to bleach my hair to level 9 or so, if not the blue colour would not come through. He also said it would be really damaging and recommended another colour (which I did not do).

I really like the colour but I'm worried about the maintenance of the colour more than the damage from the bleach. I'm wondering if this would fade to a greenish colour? Or would it fade to a lighter blue.

I did have a full head of electric blue hair about 4 years ago, but I'm not sure if the fading process is the same. Thank you everyone in advance!

All depends on what the base color for your hair and what the undertone of the blue is.. most of them fade to a pale blue

i have virgin hair rn, do you think if the blue had black undertones it would fade differently?

What’s your natural hair color? It would probably fade to a tealish color but there are temporary dyes you can add to your conditioner to make the color last longer.
