Before you ever dye it, you will need to bleach it.
As said before, the more bleached out your hair the brighter the color.
But I'm not suggesting you to bleach your hair three times in a row in one day.
/DON'T/ do that. You'll kill your hair.

But if your mom knows what she's doing ((With bleach and dye)) then it should turn out fine.
For me, I had to go to the salon to get my hair bleached and dyed blue. Because I wasn't chancing ruining it.
But if you ((And your mom)) know what you're doing, then go for it at home. It'll definitely be a lot less cheaper.
But I WILL suggest a dye for you.
Special Effects.
It's amazing. I've ONLY heard good reviews for it. Everyone I know that's used it ((And that's a lot)) love it and will never use another dye.
And, from personal experience, the colors turn our bright, and are amazing.
And it's a semi-permanent dye. And there are a few different colors of purples for you to choose, or if you want to do a different color, they have all types.

Even though you didn't ask about dyes, I just thought I'd recommend it.
Hope this helped. :]

if you are doing just the tips your mom can do it if you were to get highlights then you should go to a salon.

You will need to bleach your hair in order to have the color. The tips have to turn very blonde before you have the purple show. The more blonde the hair the lighter the color.

And do not wash your hair with warm water once you color it. It will completely wash it out. Good luck. :)

it doesn't matter if you get it professionally done or not, if your mom knows what shes doing you should be fine, and you can even get the dye at hot topic, which is where i got mine. but since your hair is black, your going to need to bleach the hair you want to be purple first, which will damage your hair, but if you want the purple to come out, you'll need to do this.
