Magenta isn’t a shy color, and it’s not for everyone.

You should also know that magenta is a lot of fun, and so, so versatile.

And this is only the beginning of your magenta mane inspiration.

Afro hair in shades of magenta

One of the bonuses of going totally bright right from the start?

Raven locks are highlighted with dark shades of purple throughout, but the front?

That’s where the pink happens.

Long hair in solid magenta

Starting lower on the crown, delicate strands of magenta begin weaving their way down the hair length.

And why would you want to?

On the side

What goes great with magenta?

Dark locks with magenta highlights

Ink-black, with a little bit of dusty purple thrown in for good measure, and great style.

From root to tip, a bolt of the bright color slices through midnight locks for a show-stopper finish.

The color is virtually undiluted, like using a pink highlighter on a white piece of paper.

The palest of dusty pinks is the finishing hue.

When you put it against red, though, it’s the reddish tones that tend to pop.

Combine colors

Magenta goes with a lot of different colors, but pairs especially well with purple.

Half and half

Cruella had it all wrong, or at least half wrong.

Long locks are divided right down the middle.

It’s the old light-dark contrast, but upgraded for the fashionista with a rebellious bold streak.

Very bright magenta

And not an ounce of villainess to be found.

The final effect is a soft blend of colors that remind you of a dark-chocolate, raspberry-filled truffle.

Compared with the straight lines of the cut, the soft and sharp contrast is positively delicious.

Red, magenta, pink melt

A dark mane has a bit of grape threaded through lengths around the sides and back.

In front, though, it’s all about the magenta, streaming from the roots to the tips.

Who says green is the color of money?

Pastel fairy

A bouquet of pastel hues woven together is a fairy style.

Blonde and magenta have an ongoing love affair, too, and look spectacular together.

There’s even magenta tipping the edges of the fringe for an extra infusion of color.

you’re able to add a little or a lot even just the bangs if you want.

Under cover

Want to wow with a super-secret special surprise?

Try a layer of magenta underneath a different hair color.

half magenta, half black hair

Just lift the top layer up and add that bold hue to the bottom layer.

Fringe benefits

It’s all in the front, and it’s all magenta.

If you have bangs, you either love them, or are contemplating growing them out.

Along with the magenta, you’ll see a bit of red, yellow, green, and blue.

The finished look is all movement and texture.

What would it be like to duplicate those shades in your own tresses?

Jet-black locks contrast beautifully with a dark-magenta tone, especially when all tousled together.

But it can also be more subtle, simply walking into the room and talking softly in muted tones.
