You are inspired by delicious veggies (and the eggplant emoji), and eggplant purple offers cool-toned allure. Eggplant purple offers more subdued and less intense hair color commitment options than warmer hues like mulled wine or burgundy. Request that your colorist apply an eggplant hue by hand over your brunette locks for an elegant yet low-maintenance look. For optimal protection of this new hue, include nourishing treatments such as acai palm and antioxidants in your haircare regime.
Dark Plum
Plum hair colors have quickly become one of the hottest fashion hair hues. Offering an eye-catching combination of red and purple tones that flatter everyone, plum hair colors make a straightforward statement while being versatile enough to wear techniques ranging from balayage to ombres and color melts. Plum shades warm any complexion, particularly those with blue or hazel eyes. They look particularly stunning against brown hair. People with darker locks can opt for a subtler variation on this shade with this look featuring an ombre that begins as dark purple and gradually transitions into lighter lavender highlights. For those who still need to fully commit to switching up their face, a magenta Marcel wave can add an eye-catching pop of color. Pastel purple streaks add a dimension that can be further highlighted with sleek braiding styles for an effortlessly cool-girl style perfect for wintertime.
Mahogany
Mahogany is an eye-catching hue with rich undertones of red and purple that will draw people in. Perfect for all skin tones, mahogany can add shimmer with just a dash of gold added for an extra shimmery style! Brunettes may apply a mahogany toner directly over their current hair color unless it’s very dark; otherwise, they should use our award-winning Blondor Freelights to pre-lighten first before applying the mahogany shade. Warm mahogany ombre looks gorgeous when applied to long, straight hair. For something extra, consider adding mahogany balayage highlights on your client’s roots and mid-lengths; this trendy technique gives a more natural appearance and works on all types of hair types – remember to use Color Me Organic demi-permanent hair dye to avoid dryness and breakage!
Light Plum
If you need more time to decide whether to commit to dark purple hues, light eggplant hair color might be your perfect match. With its soft violet tone and cool undertones, this golden eggplant hue complements warm skin tones ideally and is much easier to maintain than its deeper cousin. Brunettes can quickly wear the eggplant color trend by opting for the balayage look, which gradually fades from black to rich eggplant with magenta highlights for added brightness. To maintain the vibrancy and lengthen the longevity of your eggplant color, switch up your shampoo and conditioner routine for one that addresses explicitly color-treated hair, like L’Oreal Paris EverPure Repair And Defend Shampoo and Conditioner from L’Oreal Paris EverPure. Their nourishing formula contains acai palm and antioxidants to deeply nourish each strand, renewing them to leave stronger hair less vulnerable to damage – prolonging color vibrancy longer!

Eggplant
As its name suggests, eggplant purple is a soothing hue that complements brunette strands beautifully. It is a bold color choice, but its lesser maintenance requirements make this choice more feasible than warmer tones like mulled wine and burgundy. Give eggplant balayage a try as an all-over dye, or ask your stylist to apply hand-painted highlights on mid-lengths and ends – this look can look particularly striking when paired with brown highlights and dark brows! If you’re nervous about going so dark, try starting small with some eggplant highlights to test this trend without committingor. This way, you’ll know whether or not it works before taking the plunge! Whether you’re coloring or highlighting your hair, be sure to use shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for color-treated locks. We love Kerastase Bain Chromatique Riche Shampoo and Fondant Chromatique Conditioning Mask, which work together to preserve color vibrancy while prolonging results with weekly deep conditioning treatments featuring acai palm and antioxidants for longer-lasting effects.
