Purple hair color variations surprise us with their numerousness and versatility. And taking into account the increasing popularity of purple hairstyles, we think that it is time to discuss this topic in detail. So, today I’m going to share some cool looks with purple hair. We assure you that you will be amazed with the number of options since you can try anything out on the scale from light highlights to ombre. Of course, it is true that in order to achieve a flawless look you should find a professional hairdresser but it is also possible to succeed with some ideas on your own. The key point is to know what you want and we are here to provide some inspiring ideas!
From Purple to Dust Blue Ombre Lob
I have to admit that purple hues do look good, but they look more heavenly when paired together with dust blue in this ombre lob. Created by Kristina Dunn, a popular hair stylist, this lob is a great choice if you want something sleek and visually appealing. When styling, use a high-quality flat iron from the roots of your hair to the ends to get this sleek finish.
Blue and Purple Mix
It’s always very easy to transform long hair, whether going for a shorter cut or trying out new hair color. Other than incorporating deep waves into your style, make a different choice by combining purple and blue to create this masterpiece. For a more natural result, use a medium-barrel curling iron to replicate this style.
Ice Blonde To Purple Ombre
Ice blonde to purple ombre is like a transition from cold to full of life and color. The ice-blonde hue makes your look luscious and silky and has an air of depth. To style this, start by straightening your hair from the root to the mid-length before using a curling wand to finish the tips with loose waves. The waves can start from where the purple hue begins for a smooth transition.
Purple with Green Face Framing Highlights
Kristina Dunn, a popular colorist and professional stylist, takes coloring to another level with the purple combination. While blonde is often used for face-framing highlights, Kristina replaces blonde with green, and the pair really complement each other. Although the purple and green tones look a little muted, if you want yours different, you can always inform your colorist.
Deep Purple Waves
If you love purple but don’t want to move far away from a tone that’s still calm, dark purple has a depth of its own; we can’t seem to keep to ourselves. I love these purple waves by Kristina Dunn because they allow you to explore while still being subtle at the same time. A color like this looks great on individuals with medium to dark hair and warm or cool undertones.
Purple Wolfcut with Bangs
This time around, don’t just get a new cut but also try new colors—who knows, you’ll love them more than we do! So, add a touch of magic to your wolf cut by asking your stylist to add dark tones of purple. It’s a fun way to be creative with your style without being too extra. You can create this tousled wavy result with sea salt spray on damp hair.
From Purple to Magenta
If you love styles that stand out, this purple and magenta combo is for you. I also have to say that this color would look good on someone with a neutral to warm undertone. The dark purple at the base of the hair draws more attention to the magenta waves in beautiful contrast, and this easily works well for individuals with medium to dark brown hair.
Purple Lilac
Starting with dark roots makes these lilac waves created by Amber Yancey, a color specialist and educator, gorgeous. Her base starts with deep purple before fully transitioning into lilac, which is why the hair has so much depth. Note, however, that this pastel purple shade can only be created on a level 9 or 10 pre-lightened hair. The formula for the hair color is Pulp Riot Hair dye using Elixir + Lilac + a few drops of Blue Muse + Jam shades.
Purple Magenta with Black Blue Tips
Although most times, dark shades usually begin at the root of the hair, there’s no fixed rule for it! So, if you have thick hair and want to make it more glamorous, this purple magenta with blue-black tips will compliment the texture of your hair. Styling it sleek and straight draws more attention to the color gradient. Hair created with Pulp Riot hair dye, Jam + Smoke + Noir shades.
Purple Hair with Baby Blue Accents
Using purple as your main and base color also leaves room to play with other hues. You can have little highlights in baby blue or lighter purple tones. Properly placing the blue accents can take the style from average to perfect and compliment your features better.
