I love purple.
It’s my favorite color.
And although I might not have the courage to dye my entire hair purple, I don’t mind getting a few streaks in.
Now, if you’re looking for purple streaks in brown hair or black hair ideas, I got you.
I’m going to also cover a few ideas that include multiple complementary colors (in case you want to throw some reds and pinks in there) and I’ll try to include different shades of purple so you can mix and match.
I’ve included links to the purple hair kits as well, and although I’ve tried to be as precise as possible, it’s difficult to get the exact color shade.
