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 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 can mean your hair color lacks vibrancy.
The sections going purple usually need lightening first for the color to land with intensity; a colorist can lift just those pieces. Using special color care shampoo and conditioner when you wash your hair will help to keep it looking at its best.
1. Black Hair with Purple Highlights
Purple color on black hair is a gorgeous yet subtle addition of color, perfect for when you want to sport a new color but need to be professional at work.

Throughout this long black-and-purple loc style, purple strands add contrast. Wear your hair down for the color to be most noticeable, or gather it into an updo.
4. Split-Color Bob with Blunt Bangs
Scene hair consists of choppy, flat-ironed layers with a teased crown, long or short, usually with a bold addition of color. This style only features it on half the hair. It’s an unusual yet pretty way to display your purple!

Balayage is probably the most popular way to add color to a woman’s hairstyle. This look shows how great both a medium and light shade of purple look on brown hair, especially when ends are tinged with a bit of white.

On long black and purple hair with waves, the purple is dark and mysterious. On black hair, it’s the color to go for to spice up your traditional do; it also looks amazing when in a fishtail braided half updo or messy bun.

11. Purple Cornrow Bun
We think your current braided hairstyle needs an update! Weave in some purple braid extensions and wind up the braids into a large bun right at the crown of your head to get your new favorite statement style.
12. Sparse Purple Highlights
If your hair is naturally black, all you need to do for an easy update to curly tresses is have your stylist highlight three small sections of hair close to the bottom. Those peeks of purple will look ravishing.
13. Purple-Streaked Stacked Bob
To get your short black bob to look this light and airy, start with feathered layers. Then go for a bit of light purple coloring. Avoid chunky highlights to get this chic style.
14. Purple Half-Up Twist
Any special occasion where you need a fabulous hairdo will look even better with black and purple coloring! We love this loose, twisty half pinned look featuring dark purple streaks.
15. Loose Purple-and-Black Braid
Another hairstyle that boasts the half and half look is this lusciously long loose braid. The purple is woven in naturally so it isn’t a stark evenness of color and is more flattering.

With a black base of hair color, a dark purple balayage makes the waves on this long pixie stand out perfectly. To give some edge to your look, add an undercut or a fade.

Not only do the smooth, blunt lines of this short straight bob and cropped bangs flatter many face shapes, the black and purple coloring looks just beautiful on a medium skin tone and dark eyes.

How gorgeous is this sweet violet purple on the bottom quarter of a medium-length wavy black hairstyle? This is a great option for women who don’t want to commit to all over color.
20. Amethyst and Black Hair
A light amethyst is just the soft but moody shade of purple to complement your black hair. To get this sleek look, straighten hair and mist with a leave-in conditioner for shine.
21. Long Waves with Violet Streaks
When hair is given a special treatment of color, the result is a “glazed” appearance. The color melt is totally gorgeous with dark purple color over wavy black hair.
22. Grape Purple Ombre
The smokey appearance of grape purple ombre on black hair is just stunning. You can keep it strictly purple or blend in a little magenta for even more flattering color on long straight hair.
23. Smoky Lilac Waves
Have you fallen in love with both balayage and babylights? Add them both on your long wavy black hair by mixing light and dark purple!
24. Black-and-Purple Pull-Through Braids
Are you bored with your black hair? A medium shade of purple highlights will liven it up! And instead of wearing your mane simply straight, try some pretty pull-through braids.

Hair that is all one length tends to drag the face down. Ask your stylist for face-framing layers and black and purple colors to turn the overall look into one model-worthy style.
