When most people think of changing their hair color, they usually associate coloring their hair with going from one natural looking look to another. But for those who step outside of the norm and dare to dip their toes in the water of unnatural, playful colors, the possibilities are endless. Why settle for copper hair (although we love this trend) when there’s a rainbow to choose from?
Of these colors, purple is one of the funniest and most versatile. There’s a shade that suits every skin and eye color combination, and it’s a bold shade that never goes out of style. So if you’re feeling encouraged to try something new, keep scrolling to find some of our favorite purple hair ideas. From Keke Palmer’s buzzcut to Kelly Osbourne’s multidimensional strands, there’s something for everyone.

We love a colorful buzz cut, so it’s no surprise that we’re big fans of Keke Palmer’s lilac shade. She adjusted her hair to her lips for a double swoop.
Katy Perry

Katy Perry has shown off her fair share of hair colors. From blue to platinum and black to this My Little Pony purple. We love how the shade looks when styled into this tousled bob and sharp cat eye.
Kelly Osborne
Long wearing her hair purple, Kelly Osbourne is taking breaks to go back to blonde and dabble in other unnatural hues like pink. We love this multidimensional iteration – featuring different shades of purple, ranging from lilac to bright purple and greyish hues. It’s also perfect for styling in long, loose waves.
Lana Kondor

We love Lana Condor’s purple peek-a-boo tresses, which she wore to the 2019 premiere of Alita: Battle Angel. It’s edgy, unexpected and fun.
Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion was always one to take things to the next level, embodying hot girl shit. Not only did she sport purple hair, but she also sported rainbow hair. The result: bold, beautiful and creative.
