A deep, chocolate tone is perfect for fall but if you find one that has a dash of cranberry in it too you’ll get an extra layer of femininity to flaunt. And we’re loving this rich shade. (via)

2. Eggplant

So Lonely in Gorgeous showcased this darker shade of purple. Go for a warm and rich eggplant – maybe even with some sparkles – to highlight October.

3. Skin Tone

Over at Heart Over Heels you’ll find a beautiful, skin-tone shade that can act as your go-to neutral for the season. It isn’t too bright or light, evoking that sense of spring.

4. Army Green

Here’s a classic, green shade that will shine all throughout the fall season. Evoke a feeling of days and the nights with this gorgeous shade. (via)

5. Slate Purple

Here’s a romantic, slated purple that we’re drooling over too. We found this beauty on The Polish Squirrel and have been swooning over it ever since.

6. Peacock Blue

All Lacquered Up featured this peacock blue beauty and we couldn’t help but think of the fall, night sky and how perfect this would be to dawn this season. Your digits will pop!

7. Gold Glitter

Nails on the Go is where we found my absolute favorite pick on the list. A bit of texture and lots of glitter can be wore year round in the right shade of gold.

8. Royal

All Lacquered Up always has great ideas when it comes to color inspiration. And just because it’s fall doesn’t mean you can do something vibrant like this royal shade of blue.

9. Burnt Orange

Burnt orange is a classic autumn color and it looks magnificent on those fingers. Dip the digits in this offbeat shade and celebrate the changing leaves. (via)

10. Cream

We found this beauty on Pinterest and thought it was a nice, creamy white that can be used outside the usual realms of bright neutrals. It’s rich enough that it can set off your fall ensembles nicely.

11. Charcoal

Visit The Beauty of Life for a better look this charcoal color. Again, it’s a neutral that is versatile throughout the entire season while blending and topping off outfits nicely.

12. Mustard

The Crumpet showcased this vibrant, mustard nail polish color and it too is the perfect addition to your fall color collection. It’s got that golden tone we love for autumn but with a punch!

13. Forest Green

If you want a sexier shade of green than a muted army tone, go for something with a dash of forest. It’s more vibrant and feminine. (via)

14. Lilac

Bubbly Michelle shows us how to flaunt a pastel shade for fall. Not all of these light tones have to be fixated on summertime, do it in a way that autumn shines through as well.

15. Dusky Grey

Pointless Cafe shows off another grey tone that works for fall too, one that’s a bit more muted and romantic. If you like the haze, go with this shade!

16. Periwinkle

Blushing Noir gives us a powerful periwinkle that we can see floating throughout the sunflowers and hay. Carry your pumpkins in style with this one.

17. Wine Red

Here’s a wine red that we’re drooling over too. It’s a bit more traditional and sexy in terms of nail polish colors. (via)

18. Midnight Blue

Makeup and Beauty showed off this midnight blue and w’re in love. It catches the light beautifully and evokes a sense of the early nights that fall brings.

19. Taupe

We found this fabulous neutral on Pinterest too. It goes with a variety of skin tones and, of course, all year round you can use this one.

20. Black

Love Maegan featured a beautiful manicure and shows us how to do black in the most stylish and feminine of ways. Flaunt this around Halloween!

21. Fuchsia

If you’re looking for something with an extra pop of girlish charm, go with a deep fuchsia shade. It can blend well within the season and still have you feeling prim. (via)

22. Emerald

Nail Nerd shows us another fabulous green to dive into for the season. This emerald tone has a bit of glitter too!

23. Gunmetal

Over at So Nailicious you’ll find this texture gunmetal tone. We love this shade because it takes both blue and charcoal in its best form.

24. Rose

Here’s another feminine shade that we’re swooning for. It’s great for the season but has the romance we all crave. (via)

25. Merlot

And finally, here’s another shade of red evocative of a beautiful wine. It’s smooth, it’s rich and it works all season long. (via)

There are lots of ways to achieve these lavender hair color ideas. Hair chalks are great if you want a one-night affair with your pop of color, and you can opt for semi-permanent dyes for something a little longer-lasting.

Instagram / cassderosa

If you want permanent lavender hair, you’ll need to opt for semi-permanent and committing to re-dyeing it for as long as you want it to remain bright for.

2. Long, Lavender Pixie Cut

A great way to ensure your lilac and lavender hair lasts the distance is to mix and match your shampoo / conditioner / dye together. When you’re washing your hair, add some of your dye to your shampoo. It’ll add another layer of color and if you do the same with your conditioner, you’ll get double the effect.

Instagram / beautsoup

It’s a great way to keep touch-ups to a minimum, and also gives you the opportunity to take care of your look at home without resorting to running to a hairstylist when it starts to fade.

3. Smoked Lavender

Speaking of fading, these lavender hair color ideas are well known for fading fast so if you want a look as bright and bold as this, you’ll need to be prepared to keep up with the maintenance of it all.

Instagram / playwithscissors

The bright pop of purple will fade to a much lighter tone in just a few washes, and although pastel shades are in, if it’s not the kind of look you want, you might be disappointed. At least we warned you – these looks are high maintenance.

4. Lavender Ombre Hair

If you’re not quite brave enough to dye your entire head a bright pop of purple, lavender hair color ideas like this one are a great idea – an amazing lavender ombre with just the right amount of color on the ends.

Instagram / _coiffure_by_lindseyjade

It’s a subtle way to blend some color in with your natural color and style. If you want a way to wear color but without frazzling your hair completely for the summer, this is a great way to do it.

5. Lavender Updo

One of the best ways to show off the different shades of beautiful lavenders you have in your hair, a plaited or braided updo is definitely the way forward. Braids are back in, in case you didn’t see the Kardashian’s rocking them, and when you have multi-tones, it gives you the opportunity to show them all off.

Instagram / kellymccormickhair

This is a fabulous idea for two-day old hair. When you have colored hair, you can’t wash your hair as regularly as you used to because this will wash the color out faster. Curls can help keep the look going for a couple of days too, just speaking from a little lavender hair experience.

6. Vibrant Lavender

For a look as shiny and vibrant as this one, you’ll need hair that’s in good condition to start with. Otherwise it’ll just look as straw-like and fried as it did before you started to play around.

Instagram / mandistrands

The problem with bright and light colors like these lavender hair color ideas is that you often need a lot of bleaching or lightening treatments beforehand and these are well known for drying your hair even further, and causing more damage. Do yourself a favor and get a head start on the conditioning treatments. The healthier your hair is before you start, the healthier it will look when its finished.

7. Ice Lavender

Why not blend two shades together for a look that is both unique and bold? We love the way a pretty lavender shade has been cleverly blended into pastel and dusky pink tones towards the ends, a look you’ll only really get from hand-painting.

Instagram / caroline.anythingbutbasic

The idea of a look like this one and the hand-painted nature behind it, is to get it looking as natural as possible. It’s the same way you’d paint a balayage bronde (brown / blonde), just with brighter and more colorful shades.

8. Blonde Lavender Ombre

Blondes and purples look really great together, and that goes for the bolder shades as well as the more pastel and muted tones.

Instagram / hairbybeccy

If you want to get a beautiful pastel shade like this, dilute your bright purple dyes with conditioner – the more you add, the more pastel it will turn out.

9. Dusty Lavender Lob

The conditioner-dilution trick can definitely work with this dusty lavender lob. The lob, or long-bob, is very much on trend for right now, and is a great way to get rid of the dead ends of your hair, giving it a new lease of life for the summer.

Instagram / hairandharlow

If you’re going for the chop, you might as well liven things up by opting for a bright and bold shade too. This is bright and bold but still subtle, just one of the reasons why we love it so much.

10. Bohemian Lavender

If you have dark hair, don’t be afraid to let your natural dark roots shine through. The balayage / ombre look with lighter ends and darker roots is very much in style – all the celebs are doing it.

Instagram / dnalaburbana

Roots are just one of the things you’ll need to embrace when you choose lavender hair color ideas like these. You might as well learn how to rock them from an early point.

11. Lavender Mermaid Hair

If you have length on your side, use it to your advantage. This look has different light and dark shades of lilac and lavender blended together to give a multi-dimensional look – a great tip if you have thin or fine hair.

Instagram / salon202

When you add the waves and the subtle layering to the different shades and tones of color, you can make your hair look thicker and healthier. Who said colored hair had to look bad anyway?

12. Lavender Hair with Peekaboo Purple Highlights

This is such a stunning look, beautiful lavender hair with those peekaboo purple highlights. There are so many shades of ‘purple’ you could use to create a look like this. We say embrace them and use them all!

Instagram / natnatkittycatt

One-tone hair is often lifeless hair, so by using different shades and blending them together, you can create a look that definitely isn’t that.

13. Lavender Bob

People often think that short hair is harder to work into colored styles but this lavender bob shows you how to do it the right way.

Instagram / rubydevine

You’ve still got the ombre color, you’ve still got the clever graduation of color, but it’s done over a much shorter look than you’d expect. We’re in love with this look a lot. It makes us want to go for the chop ourselves!

14. Lavender Roots

When you’re growing out your lilac and lavender hair color ideas, don’t be so quick to rush to get rid of it, bleaching it out, or using color-stripping treatments.

Instagram / playwithscissors

Let the hair grow out gradually and just make a statement with your roots instead. This look could have been deliberate but it also could have been an ‘accident’. Sometimes the best hair looks happen by accident!

15. Pastel Lavender Pixie

If you want more of a pink tinge to your lavender hair color ideas, why not opt for this pastel lavender pixie look?

Instagram / jai_nice

Beyonce, Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Lawrence have all gone for a cut like this, but this time we’re daring you to do it with some color. Pixie cuts are better suited to heart-shaped faces, but with a little ‘tweaking’, you could replicate this to sort pretty much any face shape.

16. Wavy, Lavender Lob

Short hair and curls are often avoided but this look again shows you why that is so very wrong. This wavy and lavender bob is not only super cute and super girlie, but would only take a few minutes to style first thing in the morning too.

Instagram / hairbyashleylist

If you want a look that is rocking and super easy all at the same time, this is definitely the one to go for.

17. Subtle, Silver Lavender Hair

This look is amazing – a subtle silver and lavender blend using natural roots to ombre into different shades of silver-grey, lilac, lavender and also pastel and dusky pinks.

Instagram / thefoxandthehair

If you thought you couldn’t play around with these lavender hair color ideas just because you have darker hair, clearly you were wrong.

18. Lavender Hair + Dark Roots

It’s those dark roots again but we can’t tell you enough – it’s time to embrace your roots!

Instagram / emrahdemircii

Although darker roots were once thought of as a bad thing, they are now being worked into styles meaning you have longer between salon appointments. If it’s time-saving (and money-saving) you want, this is a great look to choose.

19. Dark Purple + Lavender Hair

Another ombre, this time working darker purples at the top and lighter, lavender shades towards the bottom.

Instagram / sadasalon

There’s those dark roots again. What did we tell you? It’s time to start listening to us – dark roots are in!

20. Brunette to Lavender Ombre Hair

Argan oil has proven to be a very big hit in the hair-art world recently and there’s a good reason for that – it’s super nourishing for your hair, hydrating it and moisturizing it at the same time.

Instagram / hairwithlinda

If you want to play around with lightening treatments before lavender-ing up your ‘do, make sure you condition it well. Argan oil is a great place to start.

21. Lavender Blunt Lob

We’re back to the long bob (or lob) again but this time, instead of soft layers and cute curls, it’s blunt, sharp and to the point. Again, a look like this is going to need to be performed on good condition hair so if your stylist says he/she doesn’t think it’s a good idea, it’s because it’s not a good idea.

Instagram / spectraltones

Sometimes you need to wait a while to get the look you want. You might need to treat your hair first if you want a decent look at the end of it.

22. Gorgeous Cut and Color

We’re definitely in love with this multi-tone shoulder-length cut, incorporating shades of pink and purple together to give an all-over look that still isn’t one tone.

Instagram / rubydevine

This hair would be thin and fine in any other style but because of the layers and tousled waves, as well as that three-dimensional and multi-shaded effect, it looks full, bouncy and definitely pumped with life.

23. Hand Painted Lavender Hair

For a more natural look, if you could even get natural from these lavender hair color ideas, you’ll want a hand-blended effect, otherwise known as balayage. Once your base / root color is on, the rest of the hair is colored using a brush and natural hand strokes rather than using foils or caps.

Instagram / hotonbeauty

This hand painted lavender hair is a perfect example of clever blending and natural brush strokes. Definitely one on our hit-list.

24. Lavender Hair + Dark Purple Roots

There are so many shades involved in this look, and we love the silver overtone you can see peeking through. The roots are darker purple (as we keep suggesting), and the lengths, although short, have strands or highlights of darker and lighter lilac and lavender pops.

Instagram / michelegrubbsstudio7

Another great one for short hair, and if you opt for semi-permanent, you could even copy the look with a number of other bridge colors too.

25. Bold, Vibrant Hair Color

And finally, the brightest, bold and vibrant one – the one that takes your breath away. This is another shiny beauty we’ve fallen hopelessly in love with, another one that shows that good condition hair is important.

Instagram / mvtoribriggs

Make sure you get a good trim before you opt for a bright color, preferably after the lightening and bleaching stage so you can get rid of the bits you’ve just damaged. A good trim has the potential to sort out so many of your hair’s problems, and if you’re going for a color that will pin point every flaw, you’ll want to make sure it’s picture perfect.

It’s not yet clear how this marriage of digital art with real-world hair styling holds up once you leave the salon, but plenty of people have already tried it out. What do you think of this new style?
