The 90s are back in fashion. With their ambiguous combinations and bright colors. But everything that comes back to us from the catwalks of past years has a modification adjusted to the present. So the acid colors have changed to pastel. As you may have guessed, we will talk about hair and fashionable shades.
“Why is dyeing in unusual colors so popular now?” you ask. And we will be happy to answer.
Girls with light hair color are tired of being the same type. And I want to not only declare myself, but also attract attention. Previously, blondes had one problem: depending on the tone, every blonde beauty wanted either “warmth” or “coldness”. And we are not talking about climatic conditions. Thanks to the best stylists and colorists, that same “sweet” pink burst into fashion. But these are not cloying notes, but rather various shades of a pleasant, delicate color. Of course, for such a radical change in image you need to be either a teenager or a very creative person. What about everyone else? Choose the right tones!
What the owners of blond hair and glossy magazines called him
The pink shade itself is warm. This tone is typical for most girls in our strip. They match perfectly and will look great, even if the color is applied starting from the roots - the hair will become more caramel with “strawberry” ends. The secret is that the dye does not have yellow or gold inclusions, making this pink ideal for platinum blondes.

How to get it at home
Blondes can use toning shampoos and conditioners. For example, the well-known Tonic from Rocolor offers two color options: “Pearl Pink” and “Smoky Pink”, which fit quite well on light curls. L'Oreal Colorista balm also creates a gorgeous muted pink color on the strands that completely disappears from the hair after the 5th wash. The only drawback of this product is that it does not cover darker roots at all.

The advantages of tinting products are that they are gentle on curls and are relatively cheap. But, unfortunately for many fair-haired girls, the shade lingers on the curls for a maximum of 4 washes.
Important point! If you have dark hair and want to give it a pink color with the help of tonics, give up this idea, since the product will only be able to show the pigment on natural light or artificially bleached strands.
For girls who want to retain the pinkish pigment in their hair for a long time, we recommend ready-made solutions. Almost all famous brands of hair cosmetics include various shades of pink marshmallow in their palette. Among them:
- L'OREAL. Cosmetics offer beauties pearl blonde, peach sandalwood, mango, mauve, denim and violet smoke. New is the shade “Pink Panther: Pastel” numbered S01.
- Estelle. This manufacturer has in its arsenal many popular shades of pink: rosewood, rose gold, light pink, lilac, violet and some others. Estel DeLuxe SENSE color corrector is also offered, which is applied to a lightened base.
- Kapous Professional. Cream paint has poor durability. The manufacturer offers purple blond, very light pink blond, and peachy pink.
- Revlon. Among the pink shades, you will probably like champagne blonde. Although there are very few ready-made solutions to immediately turn pink, the manufacturer offers color corrector balm Nutri Color Creme under number 005.
- Ecmi-color. The brand boasts an extensive palette of pinks: vanilla sky, rosewood, Beaujolais, frosty nut and some others.
- Crazy Color. For girls who want to shock, you can choose rich colors: lilac, lilac, violet, lavender, pastel pink and many others.
- CONNON CANDY. You can find the bubble gum color Cotton Candy Pink from the manufacturer.
- Manic Panic. In the palette of bright colors you will find the following shades: fuchsia, pink candy and mystical lilac. This professional dye is suitable for extravagant girls who want to stand out from the crowd.
- Concept. An inexpensive permanent dye that can create lilac, violet or fuchsia color on your curls.
- Palette. According to the manufacturer, the pigment of its dyes is washed off only 24–28 times. Paint Palette Fitoliniya 220 “Pearl Blonde” will provide your hair with a pale pink tint.
- LADY in Color. Unfortunately, this budget dye weakly colors the hair and is quickly washed off. In addition, there is only one shade of pink - Pink Blonde. You are unlikely to be able to cover your gray hair.
If you are going to go the route of professional coloring at home, you need to purchase purple and gold mixtons, and use blonde as the base of the coloring emulsion. Tinting components are added in small quantities. If you want a delicate “marshmallow pink” color, then add more gold mixtone. If you want to get warm shades, add a couple of drops of red mixton to the dye.
For those who want to have a more gentle effect on their curls, you can try low-resistant ammonia-free dyes. The color on the hair lasts only a few weeks, but the effect on the curls is really minimal.
You will not be able to achieve pink color with the help of any fruits, plants or herbs. So immediately discard the idea of using cinnamon and other gifts of nature.
Color Features
All shades are very unstable . This is due to the lack of supporting elements in the paint. The multi-colored dye is applied on top of the hair and is washed off very quickly, without lingering. If the hair is straight and smooth, then with daily shampooing, the bright pink color will last a week or a maximum of one and a half weeks. To maintain color, it is recommended to use special shampoos designed for colored hair.

Who is the color suitable for?
Pink blonde doesn't suit every girl's appearance. The shade is extremely demanding. Therefore, in some cases it can only emphasize flaws in appearance and add vulgarity to the image.
Let's figure out who would suit pink blonde:
- The color is characterized by warm tones that look organic against the background of delicate pink skin. At the same time, by adding purple tones, the color can be adapted to the appearance of girls who have pale, cool-toned skin.
- The implementation of the idea looks like the best option for fair-skinned representatives of the fairer sex. On naturally tanned and dark-skinned ladies, the color will look ridiculous and even funny.
- Pink blonde harmonizes with greenish, gray and blue eyes.
- Rich pink color suits girls with expressionless facial features.
Coloring techniques
It is worth noting that this coloring is not for brunettes. On a dark canvas, the color will not be visible at all. Before you succumb to the pink temptation, you will have to lighten your hair completely or partially. It depends on the desired result. And there is simply no universal approach to coloring. Each girl has her own original color .

Disadvantages of color
There are several obvious disadvantages to dyeing your hair pink blonde. Such shades quickly lose their expressiveness as a result of pigment washing out. Therefore, girls who resort to such solutions have to regularly update their color, tinting their hair approximately every two weeks.
To preserve the original shades, the use of cosmetics to fix the color is also required. Therefore, maintaining the image requires quite impressive expenses.
Let us recall the color types:
Spring – fair skin tone with peach undertones;
Summer - light, yet cold complexion;
Autumn – dark skin, often with freckles;
Winter – almost transparent light skin.
Thus, for those with freckles whose skin tone is warm caramel and whose color type is more like “Spring,” a warm strawberry blonde is perfect. It can be peach or golden. And for the “autumn” type, the color of rose gold will fit perfectly.
For girls of the “Winter” and “Summer” type, we recommend choosing a cold tone. Ideally, there are purple notes. The lavender shade, obtained from a bright violet, suits those with white skin, blue eyes, or whose facial features can be called sharp. This is a real treasure for fans of cold blonde. The pastel purple dye will leave behind a frosty trail . Isn’t this what many fair-haired beauties are waiting for?
Strawberry blonde for short hair
Strawberry hair color in a more saturated, bright version is quite a shocking color. But only white skin, as well as regular facial features, will go well with this shade of hair.

A more or less saturated shade is suitable for a classic short bob. Ombre coloring from ash to strawberry blonde will be an excellent solution for short hair lengths.

California blonde
Among the fashion trends in the blond range is Californian dyeing. It represents a transition from one light shade to another. Individual strands are colored in such a way that the roots have a deep dark shade, turning into bleached ends. The technique is somewhat reminiscent of highlighting, but the result is not such a sharp contrast. The hairstyle looks noble and elegant.
California coloring has a number of advantages:
- no need to use foil;
- the procedure lasts a short amount of time, as lightening by only a few tones is required;
- no additional volume is created at the ends;
- there is no unnatural change of shades.
From an aesthetic point of view, this coloring looks best on dark brown hair. But light blondes will also be able to rejoice and be surprised by the change in their appearance. After coloring, it is important to tone your hair. Ultimately, you need to achieve the effect of burnt hair. This is a relatively safe method of creating a new image. This coloring can be seen even on the red carpet on the heads of Madonna, Brigitte Bardot, Patricia Kaas and many young stars.
