Bright-hued hair is a look.

If youre feeling cold feet, test out the purple waters with a warm plum tint like this one.

Its fail-safe, and the relaxed, tousled style works flawlessly with the warm hue.

Try a deep burgundy tint if youre a little nervous to take the purple plunge.

Dark Purple Hair Rich and Subtle

@ghostlystyle

Its still statement-making and stylish, but slightly more subtle than a neon hue with its reddish undertones.

We cant guarantee you wont eventually be inspired to go bigger and brighter, though.

A violet afro?

Purple Haze

We’re loving the bold purple under-layer that peeks through this blonde color.

Blended with dark roots, the hue says unpredictable, yet polished.

Just confirm you have the rightdeep-conditioning masksfor your color-treated hair, and a good curling iron, too.

Dark Purple Hair Subtle Reverse Ombré

@carolinehairtime

We love the look of a curly bang, even more so when the hanging coils are purple.

With blue and juicy cherry undertones and purple swirls of color, this is a professional-level color job.

@lizalovelylocks

A closely cropped violet ‘do might be our dream hairstyle.

Ombre Braids

Purple ombre braids are the perfect noncommittal way to get started on the purple-hair trend.

Keep your roots natural and try out extensions andvoilayou can test out the look, no strings attached.

Slicked-Back Bob

An ultra-rich hue styled with a side part and sleek, straight pieces?

A color this bright will require more maintenance and touch-ups, but we think it’s worth the commitment.

Ask your colorist for natural roots, combined with streaks of amethyst and peaks of pink throughout.

Not to mention, the cascading curly waves are giving us major waterfall vibes.
