About Purple
On dark hair, purple gives a sheen that shows only in the light. For a vivid, noticeable purple, the hair needs to be lifted to a medium level. The color is usually applied as semi-permanent dye and fades within a few weeks, though purple pigment tends to fade into pretty lilac tones.
It suits cool and neutral undertones very well and makes green and hazel eyes pop. With bold cuts like a side shave, wolf cut or mullet it looks punk, and with long waves it takes on a more fairytale feel. Applying it to a beard creates a bold but cohesive look.
Does purple show up on dark hair?
On unlightened dark hair, purple usually shows only as a subtle sheen in the sun. A vivid purple needs lightening. In Mane, you can see the result on your own photo.
What’s the difference between purple and lilac?
Purple is dark and saturated; lilac is light and pastel. Lilac needs more lightening and fades faster. You can try both on the same photo.
