Blue and purple are great for highlights. But you can experiment with midnight and galaxy hair blends as well.

Quick Tip

A blue color tone with green or purple hues suits best on people with warm complexion to balance their golden or yellow undertones and if you have cooler complexion pure blues will be best for you.

Before You Get Started

• • Getting your hair colored blue and purple will require multiple rounds of bleaching if your hair is dark.
  • Licensed hairstylist Andrea Claire says, “Use shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair, formulated with UV protectors. And avoid excessive sunlight to prevent discoloration and fading.”
  • She also recommends using cool water to wash your hair and help maintain these colors that can otherwise fade quickly.
  • She adds, “If your stylist recommends any treatments to maintain hair integrity, go for it! You can never be too careful with hair color chemicals.”
