Lilac, lavender, and violet — oh my!
By Sam Escobar, Good Housekeeping
Lilac, lavender, and violet — oh my! If you've always dreamed of trying this pretty shade, this is all the inspiration you need.
If you don't want a
totally solid 'do, add a contrasting color to the under layers — and
what color complements pale purple hair more than pastel pink?

If you're too afraid to
bleach all your hair but still want to rock a vivid color, ask your
stylist to just dye the bottom half of your hair.
Visible roots are super
popular right now, so rather than rushing to the salon the second you
have a bit of brown at the top of your head, let it grow out for an inch
or two and enjoy your trendy look.
Love blue and
purple? You don't have to pick just one! Try blending them together for
bluish purple (dare we say "blurple"?) shade that's totally unique.
This shockingly bright
color isn't easy to achieve (and is probably tough to maintain), but if
you absolutely love wild shades, it's worth the effort.
Short hair looks
especially cool with an unnatural shade — plus, if you don't like it,
it's way easier to grow out than if you have longer locks! This smokey
pinkish-purple will make your eyes stand out, especially if you love to
wear purple makeup.
If you love having dark hair but are sick of brown shades, try using a deep purple hue all over your hair. It's less drastic than a pastel color, but still offers a big change.
For people worried
about dyeing their hair an unnatural color, adding a little dash of
purple to just one side of hair is an easy way test the waters.
This juicy color is the
perfect shade for someone with a warmer complexion who's not afraid to
go big and bold with their hair color.
[post_ads]Few beauty trends are
as delicate and pretty as the pale purple hair that's all over Instagram
and the red carpet alike. Pastel hair isn't easy to maintain, but if
you follow these pro-approved daily hair tips, you can get your dyed locks as healthy as this style star's in no time.
Highlights and
lowlights are typically applied to blonde, brown, and red hair, but you
can use the same concept on your wilder hair colors, too, making it look
that much more "natural."
Channel your inner sci-fi hero with a striking purple color. Chop your hair into a chic long bob with straight across bangs to copy this cool look to a T.
Get a little peek of
purple by coloring just the bottom inch or two of your hair. For the
front sections, start the purple at eye level to make your peepers stand out.

Out: brown hair with
blonde highlights. In: brown hair with sparkling purple highlights! If
you love the look of dark hair but want a little extra oomph, ask your stylist for thin purple streaks throughout.
The ombre hair trend is showing no signs of stopping, but it is
getting more creative. If you want to try this stunning color gradient,
dye the top portion of your hair a deep espresso brown and transition
it into a dusky deep violet.
This shimmery, almost metallic color of purple is a totally unique shade that's so elegant in any updo. Bonus: If you love the look of gray hair, this will likely fade to a silvery gray shade, so you can try that trend out, too.
This pastel purplish shade smoothly styled with simple beach waves looks so good, it's almost like she was born with it. Almost.
For a striking two-tone
hair combo, use shimmering magenta on the top half of your hair and
transition into a bright violet towards the bottom.
The colombre hair trend is the perfect style for people who want to add a funky shade to their 'do, but don't want an allover solid hue.
Solid dusty purple is so chic when cut into a simple long bob.
Bonus: This style still looks cool with a little bit of grown-out root,
so you don't have to be too fussy with immediate upkeep.

If you want to be extra bold, use multiple shades of bright plum and violet to create one fierce color combination.
If you have a short hairstyle and have always wanted to experiment with a funky unnatural shade, an allover lilac color looks totally glamorous.
