#19: Brown and Magenta Balayage
This hair color is a brown and magenta balayage created by hairstylist and colorist Jillian Leigh Meehan of Hauppauge, NY.
“High fashion colors (bright, bold shades), even on brown hair as the base, require more maintenance,” notes Meehan. “Bright colors like this require lightening hair to achieve this look. So if having your hair bleached is something you’re not looking to do, then a magenta may not be for you. High fashion colors are meant to fade, so you must get your color refreshed every 4-6 weeks.”
Also, Meehan says to kiss warm showers goodbye. “It’s recommended to shampoo your hair with cold water when rocking these bold shades. Any heat will speed up the fading process, whether it’s from the temperature of your water or curling iron.”

#23: Light Magenta Hair Color
Light magenta hair color is so radiant. Any babe who wears shadow roots and magenta hair can shine brighter than others. If roots have a darker tone, the reddish color pops even better.
#24: Bright Magenta with Violet Roots
A bright magenta is guaranteed to look exciting with long beachy waves. With darker roots, they create a shinier shade of magenta.
To keep its radiance, use color-locking shampoo and conditioner. A Hair Color Lock Shampoo is one of the best options. Get some color-refreshing hair products, too. Try Celeb Luxury Viral Magenta to add a pigment to your hair.
“This hair color is a bright magenta with violet roots color melt technique. If you want a vivid color, rinse the hair with a magenta celeb viral shampoo,” says stylist Alondra Castaneda of Pasco, WA.
She adds, “Your hair type is important, too. If you have oily hair, you need dry shampoo or wash your hair more often. By doing that, the color rises faster, so that is when a shampoo with additive color comes in handy. If you have dry hair, you need more of a moisturizer conditioner.”
