I need your help!

Whoever told bạn brown hair doesn't dye well purple, they weren't saying truth. my friend naturally has mid-brown hair and she dyed it a subtle purple color, and it looks ah-mazing. That kind of thing you're talking about would probably apply to people with say black hair trying to dye it light blonde.
on the side of the dye box it should hiển thị a color spectrum of how it's expected to look.
If bạn want purple hair, go for it. go for what ever color bạn feel like, then bạn will be less likely to be disappointed. don't worry about what anyone else thinks, cos I've seen it on brunette people and it looks fine :)
It would help if when bạn wash your hair the ngày before bạn dye it, that bạn use a deep conditioner to make it in good condition, then the result will look better.
