A Violet Ombre

Layers and long side swept bangs enhance any medium-length hair; pair that with trendy loose curls, and you will be ready for a night out. Many shades are available for purple hair color, and this dark purple ombre hair color features deeper tones.

A Red and Purple Ombre

#3 Crimson and Lavender Hair Color

This is an ombré with a copper-based crimson at the root to the mid-shaft that transitions to lavender towards the middle to end of the hair shaft. It’s cured using a two-inch wand, wrapping each section around the wand one and a half times. The waterfall braid shows how fun and dimensional the color is.

The coolest part of this style is the translations of colors and the movement of the hair! It’s also good for women who want a fun color but want to lighten their hair sparingly. You’ll only need to lighten yours to a level 7 to achieve this vibrant lavender. Be patient with the lightening process and listen to your stylist. Also, the lavender used in this color is a direct dye and is not permanent, so if you shampoo your hair daily, it will fade fast. On the other hand, being as the color isn’t permanent; it opens a world of possibilities for other colors!

A Metallic Purple

#5 Vibrant Purple Ombre

This is a “Dusty Purple Ombré.” The most captivating aspect of this particular look is the intensity of the purple hue. Purple ombre highlights are very flattering on a variety of skin tones. Keep in mind the maintenance. You must keep washing at a minimum, use color-safe shampoo, lower the temperature on your styling tools, and reschedule a color touch-up with your stylist! Purple is an excellent color to experiment with if you want to enliven your locks, as it will gradually fade into a stunning blonde if you allow it. However, it won’t last long if you do not adhere to the guidelines above.

Also, keep in mind it may take a few visits before you attain this purple ombre hair hue. Anticipate spending around 5 hours in the salon chair. Consult your colorist first to create the ombré, then apply the purple dye. These purple ombre hair ideas will complement all hair types and textures, but it may take some time, depending on your starting color. The lighter, the better! It’s also a fantastic method to refresh an old ombré or balayage highlights!

After achieving this ombre purple hair, stay away from swimming and avoid washing your hair for the following couple of days. Using dry shampoo in between washes is best to prolong the color. To help keep hair healthy, use a leave-in hair treatment every two weeks. Maintaining colored hair requires considerable attention and dedication. However, the color is worth it!

A Platinum Blonde to Purple Ombre

#22 Transforming Platinum Blonde to Purple Hair

Creating a beautiful purple ombre hair color offers endless possibilities. Blondes can maintain their bright hue by incorporating a shadow root, which helps make regrowth appear more natural. The combination of purple ombré with lavender adds rich dimension to the hair.

Keep in mind that bright colors tend to fade quickly if you’re contemplating a purple and blonde hairstyle. Expect to notice a significant loss of the purple and lavender shades with each wash. For women who wash their hair daily or more than twice a week, this is an important consideration. Additionally, vivid colors often require considerable time and effort to fully remove. Therefore, when opting for a bold and playful shade, be prepared for a long-term commitment to your hair. But it is generally a choice that pays off beautifully!
