Amethyst is a deep, expressive purple inspired by rich gemstone tones. The shade adds intensity and character to the hair, ranging from a bold violet on light bases to a soft, luminous reflection on darker hair.
Mattie Amethyst is a vegan semi-permanent direct dye created for visible colour without long-term commitment. It coats the outside of the hair and fades gradually over multiple washes (up to approximately 14), without permanently changing the hair or requiring a developer. The formula is designed to deliver rich colour with a soft, even fade while keeping the hair feeling smooth and glossy.
On light blonde or pre-lightened hair, Amethyst delivers a vibrant, true purple result. On darker hair, it adds subtle violet depth rather than a full colour change, making it ideal for refreshing tone or adding dimension between permanent colour services.
How to use
Start with clean hair that is dry or slightly damp. Put on gloves before application. Apply the colour evenly to the areas you want to colour, making sure the hair is fully saturated for an even result. Leave the product on for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the desired intensity. For a deeper, more intense colour, the processing time can be extended. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Shampooing is not necessary immediately after rinsing.
Tips
For the most intense and true Amethyst result, apply the colour on light blonde or pre-bleached hair. To better understand how the shade will appear on your hair and how it will fade, it is recommended to perform a strand test before full application. Make sure to apply the product generously and evenly, as insufficient saturation can lead to patchy results. To extend colour longevity, avoid washing the hair immediately after colouring and use colour-safe or after-colour hair care. If a softer or pastel tone is desired, Amethyst can be mixed with Mattie Pastel Mixer before application.
