Been there, done that- having pink hair was truly my favourite hair colour (speaking from a hair dye enthusiast). To some, dying your hair pink may sound fascinating, entertaining but to others, it may seem frightening. Pink is such a fun and versatile colour to play around with where you can try out various techniques. Therefore, Beauty Insider is telling you all the hair colours and styles you can try out so you’ll always be pretty in pink!

Pink hair is making a comeback in the hair community. Your colour selections are also limitless when it comes to pink hair. You can go with a bright and deep pink or a gentler pink like rose or pastel. Whatever shade of pink you pick, it’s a lovely hue to experiment with and looks great on just about anybody.

Styles To Try

1. Pastel

A soft and muted shade of any fashion hue, pastel hair colours are a delicate and muted shade of any fashion hue. Pink has been one of the most popular hair colours in recent years. Pastels, in all of their many colours, are creating dramas on the streets and even on the red carpet! Moreover, many celebrities, like Halsey, Kylie Jenner, and Khloé Kardashian, are wearing pastels.

2. Balayage

Balayage comes from the French term balayage, which means “to sweep,” as in “to brush on a hair lightener to generate highlights.” Balayage is a free-hand highlight painting method that creates a smooth and natural gradient of lightness towards the ends of the hair. Additionally, this natural-looking highlighting technique isn’t only for blondes; it can be used to impart soft, sun-kissed depth to any hair colour.

3. Ombré

Ombre is a hair colour process in which all of the ends are impacted, and the transition between the darker roots and the lighter ends is quite quick. Moreover, ombre is a French term that means “shaded or graded tone colour.” The lightening chemical is applied freehand to the tips of your hair and then feathered upward to the midway of your hair with this technique.

4. Peekaboo

When colour is applied to the bottom layer of your hair, it is known as peekaboo hair colour. When you run your fingers through your hair, the colour beneath the top layer of hair “peeks” through, revealing a burst of colour. Your colourist will apply thin or chunky streaks of colour under the top layer of your hair if you want peekaboo highlights at the salon. Furthermore, this method has just gained popularity, and it looks great with pink.

5. Ashy

The term “ash” or “ashy” is used to indicate a greyish-blue tone in hair colour. Sometimes it’s all about the overall appearance, like adding ash to platinum blonde to achieve a silver-vixen effect. Essentially, ash just denotes a lack of warmth, and it’s excellent for balancing brassy tones. With superstars like Kim Seokjin, Hillary Duff, and Hailey Bieber, ashy has just become the newest rage.

6. Highlights

Highlights are created by weaving and lightening sections of hair from the root to the ends while leaving some natural hair in between. To avoid a streaky finish, certain sectioning procedures are required to ensure that hair is highlighted uniformly. Moreover, to keep weaved portions of hair separate from the rest of the hair, they are generally folded into foils.
