1. Silky Long Layered Hair with Violet Bob
A stunning all-over violet hair color will look totally silky and eye-catching– paired perfectly with bold jewelry and dark lipstick, this hairdo will turn heads.
2. Flashy Mauve Thick Curled Hairstyle with Purple Highlights
If, instead of wearing a solid purple hair color all over, you’d rather intertwine that eye-popping hue with a natural-looking hair color instead, try this thick, bouncing hairdo! Whether you’ve got naturally dark hair, or you’re planning to dye your locks darker, you’ll finish off this flashy style by weaving in strands of light-to-dark violet hues.
3. Tumbling Curls Highlighted With the Best Purple Hair Colors
Long-haired gals who love to wear your hair dark and curly, this one is for you. Use an eye-catching violet hair color to highlight your naturally dark hair, and every time the light hits your strands, you’ll be radiating violet vibes. Curling your sleek, tumbling locks at the very ends highlights this head-turning effect.
4. Cool Grape Jelly Tinted Waves with Purple Highlights
This hair color is more of a cool purple; it reminds us of those smooth, polished jelly amethyst stones you find in crystal shops. Which means that it’ll pair perfectly with purple jewelry! We love the way that this amethyst hue fades from subtle at the root to brighter at the tip– it’s a barely-there, yet stunning effect that’ll leave you loving the way you look.
5. Sleek Shoulder Length Hair with Purple Highlights
This tint strays away from the grape jelly color and into a brighter, slightly warmer hue. However, rather than going with an allover, bright fuchsia color, the model here has layered hair this purplish tint on top of her naturally dark hair. It gives her a dazzling, yet subtle finish– perfect for a low-key, shoulder-length straightened style.
6. Best Pastel Purple Hair Shades with Fuschia Ombre Curls
The ombre effect is wildly popular, but why stick to a typical dark caramel hair color when you can try purple, instead? Some of the best purple hair styles are those such as this one, which fades from a natural dark hair color to deep purple, to almost-fuschia at the very ends. It makes for a bright style that works beautifully with long hair.
7. Glossy Deep Purple Middle Parted Hairstyle
This sleek, loosely curled, tumbling hairstyle is tinged all over with purple, with a few hints of glossy white blonde hair color hidden among the thick locks. This will give you the impression that you’ve got glitter hidden in your hair as you shimmer in the sun– perfect for ladies who want to turn heads wherever you go! Go with ombre nails to complete this look with style.
8. Deep Purple To Pink Long Bob With Curled Ends
If you want to look gorgeously, adorably feminine, this is one of the best purple hair ideas for you! Thick strands are dyed purple all over– but instead of sticking to a single solid hair color, you’ll rock deep violet on top, fading to a light lavender at the tips. This is a gorgeously versatile look to style up or down!
9. Loose Raven-Tinted Mid Length Curls
Perhaps you’d like to try one of these pastel purple hair ideas, but you’re not ready to tint your whole head a bright violet. Try this dark raven color instead! It’s a deep, blueberry-esque hue, with just enough purple to be noticeable– subtle and classy, yet unique and stand out at the same time.
10. Best Deep Purple Hair Ideas with Sleek Layered Pinkish Ombre Waves
This pastel purple hairstyle really includes three colors woven into one– can you tell? It starts with a naturally dark color, then fades ombre-style into a gorgeous violet. At the same time, though, you’ll notice dark pinkish strands interspersed throughout the dazzling purple waves. This will create a stunning shimmer when you’re soaking up the sun!
11. Glimmering Bright Purple Hair Dye with Ombre Curls
Yet another ombre dark purple hair cut, and yet at the same time, this one’s totally unique in its own right! We love the way this model flaunts tight, glistening curls, adding stunning shine to her eye-popping light purple hair curls. These bouncy violet locks will have you catching eyes and collecting compliments no matter where you go!
12. Dazzling Magenta Highlighted Bouncing Locks
These magenta highlighted locks stand out from the crowd of purple hair ideas because their tint is slightly different than those we’ve mentioned before. Rather than traditional violet, you’ll rock a more pinkish, magenta color here, woven into a naturally dark base color, for a totally glistening finish!
13. Raven-Colored Curls With Flashy Deep Purple Bangs
If you liked the raven-tinted locks we showcased in #9, but you’d like to flaunt a little bit of extra pop in your purple hair style, try throwing in a strand of light purple hair to frame your face! This is a mix of several different purple hair ideas, which we think is brilliant– it’s subtle in the back, and flashy in the front, so you get the best of both worlds.
14. Deep Violet Colored Cascading Waves
This dark purple tint is subtle yet stunning. It’s not quite the electric violet in some other purple hair styles mentioned here, so it works well for women who want a more understated, yet still sophisticated deep purple hair color. Wearing this tint with long, thick, flowing waves will have you looking dashing day or night!
15. Sweet Merlot Tinted Tumbling Curls
We love the way that this purple hair style reminds us of a soothing glass of merlot. It’s upscale, it’s classy, yet at the same time, it’s unique, courageous, and bold. This cool tint pairs pleasingly with any cool-toned dark lipstick, such as a dark red or purple.
16. Charming Princess-Like Lavender Toned Color
This delicate dark purple hair idea reminds us of sweet-smelling lavender, and it looks absolutely alluring on either long or short purple hair.

18. Dark Cherry With A Hint Of Blueberry
This dark purple hair style is for the ladies who want to look natural, with just a hint of purple to spice up their style. A sweet purple hair highlights naturally dark brown and black hair. Then, throwing in bright pops of violet here and there subtly, but delightfully, ties the whole dark purple hair color together without looking too over-the-top.
