A huge part of what makes this look so gorgeous is the depth at her root. You can see that at her base she has purple highlights which slowly transitions down to full on lilac. Keep in mind that a pastel purple like this is typically only achievable on hair pre-lightened to a level 9 or 10.
12. Lived in Magenta
This bright pink and purple hair is great for anyone looking to make a statement but would work best on someone with neutral to warm undertones.

Having that depth at the base creates a beautiful contrast and can work really well for individuals with naturally medium to dark brown hair.
13. Purple Ice Queen
