Red-violet hair is a bold hair color shade featuring hints of red and violet. Women with natural hair colors, lovely brunettes, and blondes experiment with this stunning hue for a vibrant and brighter look.
Red violets come in a variety of hair color shades, and achieving the right balance of warm red and cool violet tones is essential to best complement your skin tone. Dark skin tones and eye colors pair easily with this shade. For lighter-skinned ladies, be aware that too much purple can accentuate the yellow undertones in your complexion.
This ultra-sophisticated look exudes a strong and mature feminine vibe that is sure to attract attention, so be ready to stand out!
If you’re looking to elevate this hair dye, consider adding blonde highlights to enhance its appeal, especially if your hair is short.
For a more understated look, think about an ombre, which looks fantastic on both long and medium-length hair.

#1: Aubergine Ombre Balayage
This is the “berry ombre balayage.” The loveliest thing about this look is the multi-tonal violets. Styling it with waves helps to show off the different colors.
The balayage technique is low maintenance, but the vibrant color is not. This isn’t always as negative as the fact that it’s quite temporary because it means you can play around with having different tones. You should try and shampoo less and use color-protecting products. I would recommend Pureology by L’Oréal, as all its ranges include color-protecting technology. It should be suitable for most hair types and all face shapes. However, you can tailor the balayage to suit your face shape depending on how low or high you want to start the blend.
#2: Deep Purple to Blush Gold Ombre
This look offers a striking yet ethereal hair color that requires considerable time and skill to perfect. The gradual fade from dark to light is executed elegantly, adding a stunning volume to the hair.
#3: Dynamic Red-Violet Hair
This red-violet hair color features an electrifying magenta hue that is a bolder interpretation of the pink hair trend for this year. Showcase this eye-catching color with a simple half-up loose braid using your long mane!
#4: Rich Red-Violet on Brown Hair
This look was achieved by pre-lighting a few foilaged pieces and shadowed roots in a deep but striking red-violet color melted with Wella’s new Color Fresh Creates shade in Next Red. The key to a beautiful red is creating multi-dimensional tones that play off of light reflection. I used Wella color for all.
The cut is a complete razor cut to add texture and movement to her stunning color. Also, add a few beach waves with iron to show off that dimension! Sun exposure will fade reds quickly, so use products with UV protection and wear hats. It could be a better color for someone spending less time at the beach or pool. It’s good for light to medium skin tones, and a medium to dark natural color is best. Color placement and cut should work together to create this gorgeous redhead!
#5: Vibrant Cherry Red and Deep Violet Shades
This look is a foilayage since I used a combination of foils and the balayage (hand-painted) technique. I adore how well the raspberry highlights enhance the base color. I always enjoy finishing my color services with curls, making everything stand out! Satisfied clients remind me why I love this profession!
You will have to visit the salon more frequently. Since red tones tend to fade quicker, a red color molecule is larger than other color molecules. It doesn’t penetrate the hair’s cortex as deeply as other color molecules. It’s more high maintenance in that sense, but regarding the foilayage I created, it will grow out beautifully.
#6 Crimson-Violet Copper
Red hair shades like this crimson-violet copper tone offer a vibrant twist on classic elegance. Ideal for medium-length tresses, it flatters heart-shaped faces and infuses life into mature strands. Though red pigments may require frequent salon refreshes due to their swift fade, the strategic foilayage approach promises a graceful grow-out. Suited for straight, medium-density hair, the curls highlighted in this hue exude a dynamic charm.
#7: Burgundy and Purple Balayage
I love the dimension in this violet-red hair color. I balayaged her to a caramel tone and covered the balayage with Pulp Riot Jam which gave her that vibrant plum shade! I trimmed and point-cut her ends to give her a textured appearance, and I curled her with my steam iron and straightened the ends for that stylish look.
This hairstyle and color would suit anyone who is bold enough. Remember to use vibrant, gentle shampoo and conditioner and wait two days after the process to wash. Soft waves and choppy ends would be adorable for purple-red hair color.
#8: Deep Red-Violet
This rich version of burgundy is a fantastic choice for women with long wavy hair who appreciate the tone but prefer something a bit muted. Just remember that reds require upkeep but are truly rewarding!
#9: Vibrant Red-Violet with Highlights
It’s always the perfect time for rich, stunning auburn shades with touches of blonde. This hairstyle created by Stylist Kristen is incredibly smooth, radiant, and ideal for daily wear.
#10 Deep Red-Violet Shades for Medium-Length Hair
A vibrant color with an elegant touch – this nearly purple shade enhances warm undertones across fair to tan complexions.
#11: Vibrant Red-Violet Shades
This look embodies a “raspberry plum.” I styled it with loose curls to enhance volume and highlight the red violets in the color, making them stand out. Reds can be a challenging shade that fades quickly, but there are some strategies to maintain its longevity, such as washing it in cold water and using professional products to ensure it stays protected and vibrant. Viral Shampoo is an excellent pigmented shampoo and conditioner that refreshes the color between services to keep it looking radiant.
#12: Vibrant Red-Violet
A striking radiant red layered hairstyle like this may require considerable upkeep, but the attention you’ll draw is well worth it—style with waves and dark roots for a more multi-dimensional and glossy finish.
#13: Ombre from Red to Violet
I got my inspiration for this red and purple hair ombre from a flower called “Fuchsia.” It has that stunning transition from bright red to purple. The greatest part about it is how unconventional it is. You don’t typically see the lighter/brighter color at the top of the ombré into a darker color, especially with reds, but it just works beautifully together. I was captivated by it, and the subtle V cut I gave my client just added an overall look, a nice flowy effect!
Just do it! Life is way too short for dull hair, so embrace it and try this purple and red hair. Just make sure to take care of it! People way too often leave the salon with a head full of vivids, but no products, then need clarification why the longevity wasn’t the best. Half the work of upkeep is at home. You need good shampoo and conditioner 100%. I also recommend good heat protectants, even if you don’t use heat on your hair. I think of it as a sunblock for your hair. Protection is key!
#14: Intense Red-Violet
A striking way to experiment with a fresh hue without the dedication of a full transition and the need for extensive upkeep. A shoulder-length cut with soft waves like this offers an excellent base to showcase this look.
#15: Crimson-Purple on Extended Locks
The most enchanting hairstyle you’ll encounter today – this crimson-purple hair is striking with smooth and flowing strands that will inspire you to experiment with different styles. Buns, twists, and braids are just a few of the looks you can explore with this enchanting hair.
#16: Shades of Magenta and Violet
This rich red velvet root cake hair is making us crave purple locks! Pair with a chic side-swept bob and a daring angled cut, and you’re set to shine!
