Blue, green and purple balayage

@kristine_olive

She adds, “In my experience, I find that young men tend to like very bold bright colours, while middle-aged women prefer the deeper shades which are still very fun colours. For older women, I find they tend to go for pastels, which is great because they don’t usually last very long, which makes it fun without the commitment.”

Dark purple and bright blue with dark roots

@karlalalahair

This is a metallic blue-purple hair color custom designed by hairstylist Karla Arechiga of Brea, CA.

Arechiga wants you to understand the importance of at-home hair care products when using blue and purple highlights, and to make sure you make time for color maintenance.

She explains, “This look calls for sulfate-free and paraben-free color-safe shampoo and conditioners to ensure the richness of color stays put for as long as possible. These vivid colors tend to fade a bit faster than permanent color, resulting in more frequent visits to the salon to keep it fresh.”

Lilac and Blue Silver

“Creative coloring should be maintained every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain color renewal,” says Bargallo. “You also have to take into account the type of hair and the condition of the hair! Always ask for a 2-year history of the hair to see if the hair can achieve the color the client is looking for.”
