Customer review: "In love with the drop it collection. It's so easy to use and you can achieve so many different shades. My absolute go-to!"

Crazy Colour's semi-permanent dye has the most gorgeous pastel lavender result, with no dullness in sight. You can even mix a little of the dye with conditioner to use as a hair mask, making the colour last longer than 8 washes.

Customer review: "This colour is stunning on freshly bleached hair! I get compliments daily on how beautiful the colour is! I put it on neat once per month and add a splash to my conditioner every time I wash it to keep it topped up!"

This little pot packs a lot of punch. Described as more of a conditioner than a typical hair dye formula, this long-lasting semi-permanent dye from La Riche means no dry ends for you. And at such an amazing price, you can always keep a tub in the shower caddy every time you want to wow the world with some lavender lusciousness.

Customer review: "Love, love, love how easy this is to use. Personally, I jump in the shower, wash my hair and put on plastic gloves. Then I use a squirt of conditioner and a tablespoon-sized scoop of lavender dye. 50/50 approx. I mix it in my hands and rub it all over my head. Have a little sing-song, maybe shave my legs. After 5 mins, wash off. Silky soft hair in a lovely lilac shade! If I want it darker I'll do a 10 per cent conditioner, and 90 per cent dye mixture… So easy. I love this brand and it's a great price!"

You can't go wrong with L'Oréal. This Colorista semi-permanent dye uses chroma-cream technology with a conditioner hair-mask base. This makes sure your hair is less damaged from the dyeing process and gradually fades over 1-2 weeks. With its tube-bottled design, it is super easy to apply, with beautiful results.

Customer review: "Easy to use, thick consistency and nice scent. My hair is naturally silver grey, I was worried it might not take as hair softer when silver, but it's now a lovely shade of lilac and very soft due to conditioners in the product. If your hair is past shoulder length, I would say you need two. Will be buying again."

Schwarzkopf has been known for years to be an expert in bright, playful colours. With this semi-permanent Lilac Crush colour, you can try the shade for up to 8 washes, which means you don't have to commit long-term if you change your mind. If you want to keep topping up, this product comes as a 3-pack, so plenty to go around.

Customer review: "Love the colour, the dye was like a paste and was quite difficult to spread as you see I have short hair and had to use the whole 3 boxes to make sure all of my hair was covered as the paste was hard to spread over. But absolutely love the colour. Great value for money"

This Bleach London semi-permanent colour creme is all over Instagram and TikTok and is a favourite of the likes of Lou Teasdale and Lottie Tomlinson. Apply to bleached and toned blonde or very light blonde hair and if you've got long locks, it's best to use two bottles.

Customer review: "I do love this colour despite how gentle it is! It needs your hair to be very light to take. It is also very sensitive to differences in your hair colour meaning it causes a noticeable gradient (however I think this improves the look and is rather pretty)."

If you're after a brand that is good for your hair AND the environment, manic panic virgin snow is the one for you. Manic Panic semi-permanent hair colour contains no animal ingredients and uses superior ingredients.

Customer review: "Nice and easy-to-use hair toner. It makes your hair very shiny and light but doesn’t dry it out."

This hair toner from Revolution Beauty comes in so many shades, but the Lavender Fields is the one we've got our eye on. Perfect for a bleached blonde who wants to switch things up, these toners last for 2-15 washes. Reds and purples take longer to wash out so there's even more leverage for your locks.

Customer review: "Super happy- Great pigmentation, I love the smell, it's nice and pleasant. And the colours fix very well on the hair, lasting longer than other brands and brighter. It also made my hair so soft and hydrated. I would highly recommend and I will buy it again."

Toners are often used in hairdressers to banish yellow and brassy tones from bleached hair. Some have been created so they not only do that but give an ashy lavender tone to your hair - just like this Bleach London Grey Violet Toner.

Customer review: "I bought this toner after dyeing my hair blonde, as I wanted a change! It was super easy to apply, just like applying hair dye. My hair was more purple-toned after washing the toner off, and it seemed to be more intense towards the front of my hair than the back (not sure why- it was applied all over). It also did not colour the roots of my hair at all, even though they were blonde to start with. After washing my hair a couple of times, my hair is more grey/silver now and I love it! The violet came out after one wash but I love the grey colour so it didn't matter to me. This is my first time using a toner and I would definitely use it again."
