Unless you are toasted tan or lighter it won't look that great. I have dyed my hair purple before and colors like purple, blue, red only really work on people with a light skin tone and it looks great on people with a bright eye color.

Also keep in mind dyeing your hair purple or blue all over will cost a lot (more then other colors because of the process), it doesn't last long (first hand experience), and it is very damaging to your hair because your hair has to be bleached to a very light color and when you bleach your hair your striping it of nutrients.

When I dyed part of my hair purple it lasted longer then usual because of the dye my hairdresser used. If you do decide to dye your hair blue or purple get it done by a hairdresser who works from home.
a) it's cheaper
b) You have a choice of the quality of dye used.
and
c) they generally do a lot better job of it.

The real question here is, do you want people to take you seriously as a person?

Regardless of how nice or wonderful you are as a person, how you present yourself to the world determines what opportunities are available to you.

If you appear as someone who doesn't make mature responsible decisions, less opportunities will be available to you because people won't take you seriously.

Do you have any upcoming situations where you will be applying and interviewing for jobs? This is just one example.

I don't know if I fall under the tan group but I've done my hair blue and purple. My hair as we speak is blue/teal.
Looks good on me. It just depends how you get your hair done. Don't do just one monochromatic colour because then it looks basic.

Example: if your doing blue, have highlights of teal, turquoise & sometimes even green. Essentially do different shades of the colour you want.

Think it would look bette if you had one of the skin tones in the first two rows. If you have any skin tone in the bottom row, i would dtuck to your natural haircolor

In my opinion red tints look best with tan skin,

Hidden_P · Answer

I wouldn't if I were you.

Funkier colours are usually best on pale people because it's so contrasting to their skin tone.

If I were you, I would do a bold statement strip in the colour but not all over until you're sure it suits. So you could have like purple underneath, or purple fringe.

Purple would be better than blue.

Why not get both in an ombre look and then you can have both?

smilesarenice · Answer

Depends on your face TBH. Go with purple to start. I feel blue looks the worst on most people unless they have the face for it. I have tried almost every color in the rainbow and blue is the only color I can't really pull off without a balancing color

My skin color is like tan and I had green hair. It was gorgeous. It should look nice but you'll have to keep it up.

kms91 · Answer

Do it! The purple in the picture is a darker purple and would look good on just about everyone. I have reddish purple hair and I love it.

I've got tanned skin. Natural tan. South Eastern Asian color. And for me I prefer dark brown, or black. It look suits for tanned. but if you confident with another color, I pick purple

Blue doesn't seem bad. And don't let haters bring you down do. Do what you want! YOLO!

unicornsandglitter · Answer

if you want purple hair, then get yourself some purple hair. if you want it more natural-ish go with a warmer tone if you want like the pic- get cool tone.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah it will most likely look good, either way it washes out quick. I personally wouldn't dye my hair again I fucked it up.

steveguitar · Answer

Purple should be alright. Look at the guitar I made in my picture (not he best quality or lighting), purple body, gold hardware lol almost close enough to tan... maybe, but it should look alright. Um maybe try a streak that can wash out quickly

your skin color doesn't matter what matters is if you can pull it off it if it fits your personality and your style.

Jewishgem · Answer

I think blue would be pretty but it fades to like a weird green which is kind ugly. Unless you wanna deal with the maintenence id do blue but purple is a little better

Bright coloured hair looks fab on most people, what colour is ur natural hair? How are u planning to achieve such a vibrant colour?

Climber · Answer

Try it with coloured paper before the mirror, or photoshop a pic from you and change the hair colour. Then judge.

Your_boss960 · Answer

I think pastel purple would look great, but your skin has to be even.

terminallycute · Answer

I think it would look fabulous!!! I think you should always do what you want and you shouldn't worry if others wouldn't like it. Life is too short to have boring hair.
