Purple is an eye-catching hue that looks fantastic on everyone, from young children to adults. This vibrant shade works wonders with any hairstyle, especially against brown locks. Before dyeing your hair purple, it must be healthy. Damaged or dry locks cannot withstand dye well and won’t hold onto the new hue for long.
Dark Blue to Purple Ombre
If you still need to get ready for a complete purple hair color change, try opting for a stunning blue-purple ombre shade on your long strands instead. It will transform you into a mystic princess with soft waves cascading down your neckline. Rather than opting for dark blue shades on light blonde locks, try creating an eye-catching purple ombre by dyeing only the top part of your strands a darker blue and coloring the bottom section more delicate violet or lavender hues. Finish this look with a shoulder-length bob haircut, and move any longer bangs to one side to complete this stunning smoky blue-purple hue! A periwinkle purple ombre hair color will compliment an olive skin tone beautifully and produce an eye-catching gradient effect. Perfect for short or medium strands you want to style into casual, fun looks, this hue can create a peekaboo purple ombre on long strands by only applying color to half your locks while leaving the other half blonde or brown.
Dark Brown hair with Purple Highlights
For those who want an exciting pop of color but are unwilling to commit fully to purple hair color, a dark-to-light ombre with purple highlights is a perfect solution for adding some flair. Not only is this look visually striking and Instagram-worthy, but it gives off a seductive vibe, which is sure to garner you numerous Likes on social media. Darker purple highlights pair perfectly with brown hair colors to create a striking ombre effect. To achieve this style, lighten your lengths first before adding purple streaks that get darker towards the ends and lighter at the roots. For a subtler take on this trend, opt for peek-a-boo purple highlights that only become visible when your hair is down. This option is especially ideal if your workplace requires dress code rules to be observed; ask your hairstylist to add hidden purple highlights throughout different sections of strands for depth and dimension in your style.
Dark Brown hair with Purple Lowlights
Purple hair can make for an eye-catching combination when accented with lowlights. This ombre-to-purple style features an ombre gradient of dark to light with purple highlights in her bottom layer, adding fun and excitement to this long locks look. Utilizing sectioning and balayage techniques, this stylist combines shades of chocolate brown, light honey, golden chestnut, and purple highlights that are subtly placed so they do not overwhelm her brown locks. Pastel purple hues can vibrate the waves of those with cool skin tones, especially if combined with blonde highlights such as these gorgeous peek-a-boo highlights on this short stacked bob. If you’re ready to try something different, try this purple dip-dye style! The striking violet hues add an eye-catching pop of color to this brunette’s classic lob, and its incredible lavender streaks framing her face are irresistible, making this the ideal way to show off your seductive side without going overboard.
Dark Brown hair with Pink and Electric Violet Highlights
If you’re an ambitious punk rock princess, this bold purple hair color idea may be right up your alley. Combining deep purple shade with magenta highlights creates an eye-catching style that stands out. Complete the look by styling in big curls. If pastel violet is your style, ask your stylist to add delicate highlights throughout dark brown hair for a soft yet striking nymph-inspired look that looks beautiful with waves. This color works for all seasons and occasions with its warm and cold tones. Longer locks may feature shades of purple, but shorter bob cuts can still benefit from its hue. This example showcases a rich plum hue that transitions seamlessly into soft shell pink and pops of bright orchid peek-a-boo highlight for an anime-inspired fairy look that is entirely captivating. This style would look even better in protective styles such as braids or locs for maximum impact!
