#3: Vivid Violet

These gorgeous head turning purple tones are no joke and neither is the maintenance. A look as bright and solid as this one requires a touch up about every 4 to 6 weeks. Before committing to this color make sure it fits into your routine.

#4: Pastel Purple Hair

This stunning hue of pastel purple is such a unique color and can take years to perfect. A color like this has to be applied to hair that has been previously lightened to the color of a banana (remember the science of color levels, do you?).
