Fuck yeah, dude. I love your inclusion of “not old lady purple”, because my first thought was, “Oh, yeah. They do that.”
On that topic… Why do old ladies dye their hair old lady purple? For years I thought each incident of it was just an accident… Like, maybe old ladies try to add a bit of maroon to their hair and it doesn’t play well with the gray, so it comes out purple… But I no longer think that’s the case.
They are using dye to go full silver or light grey, maybe all the hair hasn’t grayed or its at different shades. They use a toner to get the last of the darker colors out of the dye but, incorrect toner levels leave behind toner color, usually purple or blue.
Source, I dye my hair many colors for many decades and tried the silver myself.
