30 Purple Balayage Hairstyle Looks
Whether you’re attempting to revitalize your hair and make it into something stunning, searching for a simple change, or simply entertaining the idea of dying your hair to an unnatural color, purple balayage is a super trendy color that all of your friends are sure to adore. Purple is such a versatile color in that it can be used in a multitude of different hairstyles, from sleek to sweet. Additionally, it’s a perfect go-to color for anyone who is just venturing into dyes because of its beautiful results but is also an incredible option for advanced hair lovers to do something breathtaking with. Here are 30 purple balayage hairstyles that will make you drop everything and drive to the hair salon.
1Blunt Cut Long Bob
We love this hairstyle because of its universal aesthetic; even those who don’t dye their hair will respect this purple balayage as beautiful and radiant. The teased look of the cut adds an illuminating effect to the purple ends and are absolutely showstopping. This balayage will work well with any base color, but looks particularly divine with one that is dark brown or black.
2Purple Gradient Waves
This hairstyle is a great fit for anyone looking to take advantage of multiple colors of dye in their look. This style adds a lot of depth to the hair, as accentuated by the curls, and has much intrigue, as it can look different from any angle and highlight a specific color with each updo. This works very well for those with blonde bases, but can also transfer over to those with darker hair. Because you don’t have to dye the roots, you can let this balayage grow out and become even more effortlessly amazing.
3Purple and Gray Mix
This elegant color is so on trend right now, with many celebrities adopting the “luxe gray” look. The purple undertones within the hair develop a certain richness in color and sophistication that result in marvel. This is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to be unique in their hair color but also needs to maintain a professional look for their line of work.

We love how this balayage begins as a tranquil indigo and transitions into a calm lavender near the bottom. This look is for those who wish to be seen as carefree and creative; it adds a youthful glow and innocence to any woman. Because of the palette, this balayage will look best on those with dark eyes and eyebrows.

This pastel purple color with hints of lavender near the bottom is glamorous and will evoke many compliments from your friends. Designed for women who are going after a more manicured look, this balayage gives women the chance to put their makeup skills on full display. The more volume, the better, and these layered curls contribute even further to that aesthetic.

19Iridescent Glow
The amazing aspect of this hairstyle is that it makes the use of so many different colors of dye without seeming like a mess. All of the colors coordinate beautifully and look very soothing; even though the hair is dyed, it doesn’t give off the same loud vibe that artificial colors sometimes do. This hair looks most complete with a dark base and trying a pair of purple contacts may give your look an additional polish that is stunning.

21Refined Pigtail
Your purple balayage will look winsome when styled with angled bangs and low pigtails. We absolutely heart this hair because of its effortless transition from purple at the top to a radiant blue. Carrie Sleutskaya, Project Runway contestant, blew up the dyed hair industry by also making her brows the same gradient as her hair.
22Pale Glow Updo
This knot is bold and refined, making for an avant garde and couture style. This hairstyle gives you two options: up or down. You can dress it up with dramatic makeup and a sleek wardrobe, or dress it down and style your look in minimalist form. We recommend either, as you’ll command the room either way.

This works well for those with dark hair with no red accents.
