For those who have dark hair and are starting with hair changes, a good bet is to use shades of dark purple, so as not to be so surprised by the change and not go radically towards discoloration in order to invest in a shade of lilac.

Photos, Ideas and Shades of Purple Hair
Pastel
Among the various possibilities to dye your hair purple and keep the tone in a pastel tone, the inspiration here is light and bleached hair, which highlighted the lilac applied along the locks and valued the soft color, which had variations in tones, but without losing the smoothness.
And in this case, the locks gained even more prominence in the bridal look with colored hair.
gradient
If the idea is to go beyond purple hair, it is worth applying the gradient technique and creating a gradual shade of purple along the strands.
In this proposal, the idea was to start with the shade of violet at the roots, and so the color becomes less intense until it reaches the ends, which are in a very soft and delicate variation of lilac.
faded
And for those who are worried about dyeing their hair purple and doing constant touch-ups to highlight the color again, a proposal is to also use a little bit of the faded color, which is a charm in itself, as it becomes softer.
In this proposal, bleached hair has blue roots and purple tips, and the faded result is light-based hair with soft colors.
With Blue
In the line of colored hair, it is worth mixing more than one color, as is the case with the combination of purple and blue.
As inspiration for this colorful mix, the idea here was to pull a shade of turquoise blue from the length towards the tips, which are purple.
The result is super happy and the effect of stuck hair is beautiful!
with rose
In the wave of the hair color duo, the bet here is on the combination of pink and purple, close colors, and that have a beautiful effect together!
In this case, pastel tones were the nuance chosen for the bleached strands, with pink starting at the roots, while purple hair appears at the ends in a lilac tone.
With Green
For those who are thinking about adopting mermaid hair, that is, a combination of beautiful and cheerful colors, this look is the perfect inspiration!
In the proposal, the purple hair starts at the root and goes up to the neck, then there is a light gradient of blue and the rest in a shade of light green.
The combination of cold and smooth tones left the result super harmonious, and it was only possible to reach the nuances with the discolored strands.
with black
If the idea is to risk a look with purple hair, but you still don't want a version that needs to bleach the entire lock, one solution is to mix your black hair with the purple tips.
In this case, black hair calls for a nuance of purple that matches the closed color, and violet purple was the chosen color, giving a beautiful highlight to the dark strands and a super modernized look.
With Smoky Root
If the idea is to adopt purple hair, but you don't want to worry about frequent touch-ups, it's worth keeping the roots in the natural color and just blending the roots with the rest of the dyed hair.
As a proposal for this, the inspiration here brings a hair with a long bob cut and dark roots, which was blended and continued the strands in a grayish lilac tone.
The edges
In the list of modern and lively hair, one of the inspirations is to follow the version with colored ends, so you don't have to worry about root retouching, and in case you get tired of the look, just cut the ends.
In the suggestion, the black hair was kept with the natural root color and the purple fluor appears in the frayed ends along the entire lock.
The frayed cut gives the impression that the hair has more painted parts, but in fact it's just the ends at mismatched heights.
In Short Hair
A short cut that matches the modern look of colored hair is the long bob, that is, shoulder-length hair.
For the modern proposal, long bob hair with dark roots has been dyed in an ombrΓ©-hair style, which extends from the length downwards, leaving the tips more colorful than the rest of the hair.
In Curly Hair
And who said curly hair can't be colored?! Yes, they can, and the truth is that the effect of curls gives an incredible look to colored locks.
In inspiration, the curly purple hair gained different shades of color that mix with each other and highlight the curl of the strands.
in brunettes
For brunette girls/women, purple hair is a great way to be bold and fresh. And it doesn't matter what the texture of the strands is and the shade of purple, after all, dark skin combines very well with purple locks.
If the idea is to follow a more delicate look and bet on a nuance that illuminates the skin, the pastel lilac tone is perfect, as shown in the photo.
However, if the idea is to keep all the hair the same color, root retouching should be frequent.
In Male Hair
And even men can bet on the look with purple hair.
The idea here is to use a very modern look, which starts with the cut with shaved sides and a shredded mohawk. In addition to the cut, the strands were also painted purple and had a grayish background, leaving the color cold and the result beautiful!
