Purple balayage is magical. Balayage itself is a wonderful way to control the color added to your hair. Stylists who do balayage can add the faintest, subtlest streaks, not to mention their ability to blend the color with your base hue or natural shade.

Purple itself shows up in every new fantasy hair trend. You see it in unicorn hair, mermaid hair, the peacock style, and the oil slick trend. It’s having a much-deserved moment, so why not make the royal shade the focus of your hair?

How to Slay with Purple Balayage Hair

You will slay with purple balayage hair. You just have to take the first step. You won’t believe how much more confident you feel or the sheer number of compliments you’ll receive.

People love fantasy hair, as it turns out. First, think about what hue you like best. Do you love amethyst? Are you wild for wine?

From smoky blue purples to bright electric shades, just choose what complements your skin tone and then hit up your hairdresser.

1. Light Purple Balayage

Rather than choose a harsh color for your baby face, opt for a light shade of purple for balayage. On a medium length blunt-cut hairstyle, it’s all the style you need.

2. Purple Balayage on Blonde Hair

Ready for a major change of color? If your hair is already blonde, you’re all set for a dark purple balayage with light pink to add additional fun. Load up on curls and you’re good to go.

3. Dark Purple Balayage Hair

Katy Perry once rocked dark purple balayage on a curly short haircut and so can you. Worn straight or with lots of volume, it’s a head-turning look.

4. Purple Balayage on Brown Hair

For women with naturally brown hair, just add a balayage of light purple for instant gorgeous color. Use a wide curling wand for large waves like this or pull hair into a half updo to show off the color.
