Best Blonde Highlights on Dark Brown and Red Hair

19. Plum at the Roots

Ah, here’s a complicated masterpiece. At a glance, it looks all pink, doesn’t it? Raspberry fades to bubble gum fades to an icy blush. Look at the roots where the ombre begins, though. That’s pure plum, friends.

20. Punk Meets Goth

We cannot get enough of this plum hair. The plum isn’t the only color, as you can see. It’s not even quite the central color, only because every hue works together. The icy gray base is flawlessly frosty, livened up by tendrils of lavender, bright purple, and plum.

21. Wine Roots

Can you think of a combination more luscious than wine and plums? We can’t, either. In fact, right now we’re craving a bowl of ripe plums and a big glass of Merlot. Just us?

22. Plum Oil Slick

You know the oil slick trend, right? Here’s a take on it that utilizes shades of purple. There’s some burgundy in there, as well, and a few raspberry highlights, but deep plum and dusty pastel steel the show.

23. Born This Way

Plum hair color as subtle and nuanced as this one appears natural. The phrase “natural hair color” makes us think of blonde, brown, black, and red, but the multifaceted richness of this hue seems natural enough to us. Frankly, if the hair you wear looks as if it sprouted from your scalp looking the way it does, you know you’re on the right track.

24. Super Pigmented

Is it just us or is this an exceptionally vivid shade of plum? It’s still not as blindingly bright as purple, but that’s a good thing. It’s a bit warmer than Burgundy, as well, which enough blue tones that it won’t leave you looking sickly and sallow.

25. Dark as Dusk

Full disclosure: this is an edit from a Kylie Jenner fan who, somewhere out there, experiments with the infamous model’s hair color. We’re not mad at it. Although Jenner’s never experimented with this pitch-plum hue before, at least not to our knowledge, she really should. It’s rather becoming.
