Blackberry hair is a fun look perfect for brunettes

Blackberries are delicious and truly stand out from the rest of the berries in the patch. Freshly picked, they are the perfect mouthwatering addition to jam, scones, pies and many more sweet treats.

While it’s not quite blackberry season yet, you can get a head start with blackberry hair color.

Berry Good

Megan Schipani, a Maryland-based hairstylist, painted a sultry blackberry hue on one of her clients and shared the stunning snap on Instagram.

This deep purple hue has a lot going for it. Unlike the brighter shades dominating Instagram, this one doesn’t require a platinum base to shine.

It works well on darker shades that have some highlights. Plus, it is easy to maintain and doesn’t require constant touch-ups.

“My client came in telling me that she was a busy mom who needed low-maintenance color that was still fun,” Schipani told Allure.

The stylist’s answer was blackberry. And it seems straightforward enough to recreate, so you can request it at your next appointment.

How To Get The Look

Schipani described how she did it in her Instagram post.

After achieving just enough balayage highlights, Schipani used L’anza Vibe hair dye in a shade of “violet with a hint of blue.” She painted the new hue over her client’s lightened locks.

Schipani left the roots untouched so the color is low maintenance. Finally, she capped it off with L’anza’s Healing ColorCare Trauma Treatment to keep strands healthy and add shine.

Take a look at the pretty results below:

The key with purple hues is to match the shade to the client’s skin tone, so keep that in mind for your next appointment.

Tasty Tones

If you’re following the latest hair trends, Schipani’s name may a ring a bell.

Not long ago, she created oh-so-craveable peanut-butter-and-jelly hair. This “hair sandwich” hue also uses berry tones, but adds in natural brown tones for more variation.

Wine Not?

Other stylists have also been trying out “mulled wine hair,” which is absolutely stunning if we do say so ourselves. As you can see in the tweet below from Glamour, it’s a little redder than blackberry hair.

Would you try blackberry, mulled wine or a more vivid violet on your own hair?
