Lilac Hair Is The Romantic Color Of The Moment

When it comes to hair color, the possibilities are endless these days.

You could spend hours pinning looks on Pinterest and liking styles on Instagram and would find thousands of unique ideas to try.

Every now and then, one of these looks breaks into the mainstream and right now, we are obsessed with lilac hair.

This light and playful purple has stolen our hearts with its dreamy and romantic vibes.

As you can see, lilac hair is a pale purple hue.

It sometimes gets confused with dusty lavender, but this color has cool undertones and is more purple than pink.

Both colors look amazing, though, so don't worry too much.

There is more to this look than just dyeing your hair purple.

We want to avoid flat color at all costs!

This subtle ombré seamlessly transitions from a darker purple to lilac. Definitely pinning this pic to my hair inspiration board!

This color is so eye-catching.

Even though it's a cooler tone, this color really pops. Pair it with some neon accessories if you really want to make a statement.

There are also subtle ways to wear this color.

You could ask for balayage highlights to change up an ashy brown color. I am loving this combination! It's unexpected, but it works!

You can even add just a hint of lilac.

Just give your ends a little color and... you're done! It's a low-risk way to add some playful color to your look.

It's also possible to tone down this color into a dusty blond hue.

When the light catches this hair color, you'll see the lilac tones throughout. It's so subtle but so chic.

Even celebrities can't resist lilac hair.

Nicki Minaj basically has a new hairstyle every day, but she recently showed off her lilac hair, complete with bangs and a cascading, gradient ponytail. Yaaaas, Queen!

Cardi B styled her lilac hair into an adorable pixie cut.
