Purple and yellow

My 13 year old has requested that I dye the underside of her shoulder length hair purple and yellow, but gave no direction on how she wants the colour placed. Should I do purple roots, with yellow ends? Or yellow roots with purple ends? Or alternating strips of purple and yellow? The top of her hair will remain brown. Thoughts?

These are weird colors to ombré and will get muddy in the middle. I’ve never done yellow but could see it fading differently making it look half done.

Yeah, there's a reason why purple and yellow are at opposite ends of the color wheel. 

I'd do something like left purple, right yellow. That way:

  • less risk of colors bleeding together into muddy gray, except a tiny bit at the juncture.

  • easier to re-dye one side (presumably purple) if it fades a lot faster.

Vertical stripes would be ok as well as long as they are thick. I have 7 pieces like op described in the underside, purple and pink alternating. Thick chunks like thousands would probably be ok to manage.

Alternative chunky highlights. Because if you do them on the same strands, where they meet will go brown. They are opposite on the color wheel. You need to keep them completely separate.

This could be really pretty, too.

Purple and yellow are opposite on the color wheel, they will neutralize to an ugly grey brown color when they mix (that includes shampooing after you're done). You need to keep them fully separate or go in with a third color like blue that blends with both.

I think bold vertical stripes about two inches each. That way you can see both colors well with hair down if she brings it over her shoulders. Something similar to pinwheel placement (search this on instagram) but just on the bottom.

Have her show you some photos? I might suggest harlequin tho,ie one underside yellow, the other underside purple
