Black and purple hair can create a gorgeously dark and brooding look. Women who want a dark hairstyle with an air of mystery should consider dyeing their hair with one of these interesting color schemes. You can express your individual style with the amazing color scheme and the haircut that you choose.

 

How to Style Combining Black and Purple Hair Color

Always use a good quality hair dye to dye your hair in black and purple color. Using cheap hair dye will mean your hair color lacks vibrancy.

You may need to bleach the parts you want to dye purple to help to give the color some extra intensity. Using special color care shampoo and conditioner when you wash your hair will help to keep it looking at its best.
