Purple / Black Hair

Hayley’s purple hair is both the most drastically different and the shortest-lived of her many hair colors, making it’s only public appearances at Z100’s Jingle Ball and KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas in December 2008.

Hayley’s bangs are still a bright red, but the rest of her hair is a very dark shade of purple that often looks black. It looks most purple under stage lights.

I don’t really care for this on her.
But i mean… she might be running out of ideas for hair colours. She’s dyed her hair so many times but wants to continue surprising her fans with fresh ideas.
I just personally like red better.

Time August 3, 2009 at 9:42 pm

I would like this look a lot better if her bangs were longer.
The short bangs make the top of her head look narrower… and because she has a lot of jaw and cheek, and not so much forehead… it just really makes her whole face look a bit like an egg.
I’m definitely in favor of the long bangs. Much more flattering.
The color is cool, though.

Comment from ChelseaSmile

Not my favorite, I think this colour is a bit too dark for her very light complexion. It looks very vampire like or something, it does not suit her whatsoever.

i love it! it suits her BECAUSE she has a very light skin, so it brings out the contrast. but i didnt like the short bangs, and the 2 colors togheter ( i mean when the 2nd color is only on the bangs. the orange yellow mix is awesome cause its not only her bangs)

She doesn’t dye her hair for her fans. If she were to do that, she wouldn’t be blonde right now. I’m pretty sure it’s because SHE thinks it looks cool and thats all that matters.

she should have gone for a side fringe rather than a solid fringe, and i hate the length of it!
It’s wayyy too short and jagged cut..
i love Hayley, but tbh, this was a mistake!

When I met Paramore, my hair were exactly that color, only the fringe longer and orange, not red. Hayley told me she liked it a lot and I was so happy. :)

Then, the next december, she did the same and I was like… woooh, did I influence my favorite singer in the world?

Well, didn’t she say that it was supposed to turn out *black* and red? I am pretty sure I remember her saying that in one of their videos. So then the purple was actually just an accident?
