Katy Perry vs. Kelly Osbourne: Whose Purple Hair Do You Prefer?

It’s a purple reign: both Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne dyed their hair purple this week, setting off a new mini-trend.

According to Perry’s stylist, Rita Hazan, the pop star’s longer hair is “purple velvet,” InStyle.com reports. “It’s dark and rich. It’s very punk rock. I love creating colors for her because she always knows how to rock it,” Hazan adds.

Osbourne went purple on Tuesday, Tweeting the process to fans. Earlier this year, after she added a bit of lavender to her gray locks, she told PEOPLE, “I think that I have an addiction to dying my hair, because I always like it to be different. I don’t like being compared to other people.” (Sorry, Kelly, we’re going to do it anyway!) Tell us: Who works her purple best, Katy or Kelly?

To be completely honest, I can’t stand Katy perry and really wanted to say Kelly. But it does look better on her. Not to mention I personally think Kelly’s lipstick clashes. Both of these girls dye their hair so often I honestly can’t take their beauty seriously. I think it’s much cuter when a girl has a fun time with color for a bit, as a fun experiment, just once or twice. But to constantly be changing hues from one rainbow shade to the next eventually gets boring, kind of contradicting the point in the first place.

Who cares what hair colour you have. If they can rock the look, then so can anyone.

Both hair styles are rad :)

Your 15 year old is old enough to make her own decisions regarding her hair

It’s just hair, it’s not like she’s cutting her arm off.

Don’t be ridiculous, dyeing hair a funky colour is NOWHERE in the same league as piercings and tattoos

If you haven’t tried going into a Sally Beauty Supply store, I suggest you try it. They have sreaevl brands that provide coverage for gray hair. I like ION and L’Oreal the best. They also sell something called Gray Magic. You put this stuff in with your hair color and apply to your head. It helps hold the color a little longer on those stubborn grays. I assume you are using permanent color, and keeping it on for the full time usually 45 minutes. To avoid damage to your hair, you really shouldn’t color your entire head just the new growth (assuming you use the same color). You can always run the remaining color down the ends for the last 15 minutes.
