#1: Rich Blackberry Purple Hair
This is a blackberry color balayage with a dark color at the roots and bright purple hair tones from mid-lengths to ends. It has a brown base with Jack Winn Pro Color melted into a custom mix of Pulp Riot deep purple tones over pre-lightened hair. This purple-black hair features long layers for the haircut. With this type of color, your hair will also need to be lightened to achieve the brightness of the purple, so they typically take around 4-5 hours for the first service.

#5: Long Hair with Purple Eggplant Balayage
This is a rich eggplant purple balayage, and the vibrancy complements natural dark brown hair. Adding soft waves helps show off the blend between the natural and violet balayage/ombré style. Considering this dark purple hair dye, consider how often you want to come for a color refresh. With most fashion colors, they fade faster. However, out of all the fashion colors, dark violet lasts a little longer, like this eggplant hair color.
