Which coloring technique to choose?

Plum hair is an excellent variant for ladies with dull or tanned complexions. Dark shades of purple will flatter the face while intensifying the look. On the other hand, it should be noted that if your natural hair is brown and too dark, it may be necessary to bleach your hair before proceeding with the coloring (otherwise the effect would not be clearly visible).

For fair-haired and fair-skinned coquettish women, all-over coloring can create too much of a contrast. That's why, if you're tempted by purple shades, you can think of softer alternatives like pastel highlights or purple ombre.

Experiment with different coloring techniques including purple ombré and tie-dye in pastel shades

The plum color is a sensual and mysterious shade that seduces us with its many assets. Often found in nature, not only in the form of delicious fruits but also flowers of incomparable beauty, the key shade of the year is here to magnify our feminine look. Whether you have a strong personality to show or a romantic and dreamy soul, purple highlights will undoubtedly bring out your best qualities. Reading this, you are probably asking yourself the question: but is this trendy hair color really for me?

Variants of plum coloring

Normally, like every trend, the results of plum coloring depend on our morphology and especially on the association with the complexion and color of our eyes. Good news: thanks to its versatility, purple hair dye can boost pale complexions or blend perfectly with tanned skin. In addition, you have the possibility to choose among several partial or integral coloring techniques which are intended to sublimate the particular features of the face. Thus, apart from classic dyeing with a coloring product like that of L'Oréal Paris, you can also opt for balayage or shaded purple, tie and dye, ephemeral coloring in chalk, wicks or even colored extensions with clips.

Stylization side

Once the coloring is done, we move on to styling the hair. Obviously, the plum dye is enough to draw attention, but it never hurts to add an even more amazing note, especially if it's a special occasion. Among the hairstyle trends of 2021, we find the cut with bangs as well as the square cuts. Braids are always the essential element for a romantic look, a bohemian chic style vision or a casual hairstyle. Hair accessories and jewelry are also welcome!
