There was a time when purple hair was just for seriously eccentric characters. Nowadays however, we are free to experiment and play around with more exciting, vibrant colors than ever before.

Whichever way you choose to rock this vivid color, you can rest assured that you will stand out from any crowd when you wear purple highlights in your hair.

So, if your personality is fun, youthful and full of colorful pizzazz, why not show that off in your appearance by trying out vibrant streaks? Here are some of our favorite highlighted hairstyles in shades of purple.
