11. Lilac and Silver Balayage
Purple-and-silver highlights define the magical allure of this mane. Add a touch of glitter to the roots to accent its unicorn-worthy style. Take small sections of your hair and wrap them around a 1.5” or 2” curling wand and hold for a few seconds. When you release them, you’ll have luscious curls.
12. Strawberry Blonde Hair with Lavender Highlights
If you opt for a warmer tone, lavender hair can be a perfect complement to strawberry blonde tresses. Going with a balayage shows off your natural hair color and the fun shade all at once. The contrasting hues set off each other, creating a style that is equal parts vibrant and chic.
13. Pastel Bob with Silver Highlights
Be a silver (and purple) fox. Big barrel curls will spotlight your ultra feminine style, while lighter ends accentuate the volume of your hair. The pale colors and choppy cut give it a surprisingly minimalist look, even though it dabbles in the season’s key trends—i.e. ombre bobs and pastel shades.
14. Large Waves with Purple Ombre
What do you get when you combine Lana Del Ray-inspired curls with a pastel ombre? Sexy Hollywood glamour with a pop of color. Despite its bold style, it’s actually a great choice for newbies to have colorful hair. Leave an ample amount of your natural hair color, so you can avoid touch ups and grow your hair out quickly if you choose to chop off the lilac.
15. Pretty Pastel Waves
Ready for waist-slimming locks, this light purple hair is the ultimate of long hair goals. Dark brown roots are melting, making their way into the wavy pastel lengths full of body and dimension. If you’re a brunette, don’t be shy to experiment with unicorn colors. Just make sure to fight the damage of bleach with oils and masks to keep your locks as lustrous as these.
16. Dirty Blonde Bob with Lavender Highlights
A cliche for a reason: sometimes less is more. Instead of going for the usual blonde highlights, piecey lavender strands give the same brightening effect and dimension— but with a bit more personality.
17. Wavy Locks with Purple Ends
Truly mesmerizing, lavender bits with a pinkish tone are woven throughout these soft tresses resulting in a girls dream style. The wavy strands, hitting mid-back, channel mermaid-like beauty. Recreate this beachy style by twisting your hair in a low bun overnight and simply letting it down in the morning.
18. Wavy Bob with Pastel Highlights
An asymmetrical bob with wispy layers makes way for a chic base to pastel purple hair. Instead of going with a full-head of lilac locks or doing an ombre, try dying the hair around your face to brighten up your look. Not always our hair can handle the potential damaging effects of hair dyes, so just adding color to some parts is an equally cool alternative.
19. Unicorn-Inspired Gradient Hair
Don’t be afraid to embrace the trend of purple hairstyles to the fullest extent. A gradient shag is a fun way to incorporate all your favorite pastel shades, from periwinkle to ashen purple and faded magenta. What’s more, dark roots will play-up your cool-girl style.
20. Lilac Bob with a Silvery Finish
What’s a chic match to silver? Purple, of course. The two-tone look mimics the natural dimension of a rich blonde or brunette, but in a palette that is oh-so-sweet. Whether your hair is long or short, straight or curly, as long as the two colors are evenly distributed throughout, anyone with confidence can pull-off this look.
