12 stunning photos that show why purple is the new ombré

Brunettes around the world have been dip-dyeing their hair nonstop since the ombré craze swept the globe, but for the adventurous of heart, purple might just be the next hair-color revolution.
For those not in the know, ombré hair is a color fashion trend that had as rapid a fall as it did a rise. Its effect is created by having a base color at the root of the hair that fades to a lighter color at the tips, sometimes even going all the way to blonde. Usually this is accomplished by dip-dyeing the hair.
