The gorgeousness of purple hair!

Prince, Kid Rock, D12, Doris Day, The Cure, Jimi Hendrix.  They loved purple so much they sang about it.  

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  People like purple.  I don't think I've ever met a person who could take issue with the colour purple really.  Not too girly, not too manly.  Not too childish, not too old lady.  Regal yet playful.   So it's not really a surprise that purples are a popular choice for makeup.  There really is a shade for everyone, regardless of skin type, regardless of age, skin tone or occasion.

Purple hair is a particular favourite of mine.  From lilacs to deep violets, from pastel to bright, I just love purple hair. I'm currently in that in-between styles phase, sticking to my New Year's Resolution from years ago to let my hair breathe between different colours, so my purple has now all but faded,but I am very tempted to give it another whirl!

And just look at the possibilities!

 

What do you think of purple hair?  Are you rocking it now, or have you rocked it in the past?  What shades do you prefer?

I love it as much as I love bright red (Just like the chick on Total Divas!) wish I could rock both hair colours but the maintenance would be a pain in the butt for me! haha

I have rocked it in the past. I prefer using dark and bright purples with my hair being a brunette. I've also had hot pink hair which was probably my favourite.

I love the colour and the trend, but somehow, I don't think it'll work for me

I absolutely love purple hair! I had it in a lighter shade about 3 years ago and instantly regretted ever changing it back again. Since, I've dyed my hair purple numerous times, it just seems to be my go to. Currently rocking a deep aubergine. Totally in love <3

I love purple, it has been the go to colour since I was a kid. One thing I have always wanted is purple hair.

Wow would love to have some dark purple streaks in my hair with black BUT I am in the process of lightening my hair as it's getting little grey so that wouldn't really work - not into the light purple as it reminds me of the granny rinses haha. I do wear purple eyshadow and liners (aubergine) and I love them!

I've had a few shades of purple in the last few years. My favourite was a very light greyish purple. Miss that colour so bad!

I want purple hues in my black hair! Not bright purple but just a tint of it. Too bad that hair dye irritates my scalp or I'd do it in a heartbeat...

I looove purple hair! I had the lower half of my hair dyed purple as a teenager but let it grow out. Recently, after many many years had passed, I decided to go purple in the section near my neckline again, I love that I can hide it if need be, I would love to go a full head of purple but being a busy Mum I don't have time for the up keep, and my super fine hair would probably start looking completely fried if I regularly died the whole lot, so I'm more than happy with my cheeky purple lower section peeping out :)

Purple is my fav colour so I definitely love this look! My fav shade is the pastel colour! Argh, I so want my hair like this!!!

I haven't tried purple it always reminds me of when I age the color from the 80s of most pensioners.... I spose some peps can rock it..... but I do have difficulty with how the hair colors are the choice of what the mature age would normally settle for.

Love the purple, would have liked to have seen some more mature ladies in your photos. It is something I would like to do but not sure whether it would fit into a professional setting at my age.

Purple hair don't care! I have had purple hair before I'm lucky enough to be able to have it either light or dark working in the hair industry. I prefer purple to reds I find it fades to a better shade you can still rock but then I love pink to so normally I'd have that mixed with purple.

Love it! I used to have reallly short black hair with a statement purple colour through the front, oh how I miss it! :( not so long ago I brought a lavander colour through La Richie directions (Gosh, that could be wrong) but wasn't brave enough to follow through after having my hair lightened for it.....one day, one day.

Probably wouldn't do it to my own hair, my kids would freak. It does look gorgeous though.
