Andy JonesOnce a color seemingly reserved for goth girls and pop stars, pink hair is now making major headway in the world of fashion. It’s been seen all over Hollywood on big stars including Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Kate Hudson, Rachel McAdams, Cyndi Lauper, and even Helen Mirren. It’s a trend that is certainly no longer confined to the young and the restless as it’s becoming more and more socially acceptable and less of a fashion faux pas that is sure to get the side-eye from the rest of the world.
55 Hair Ideas that Will Leave You Pretty In Pink
Pink hair is particularly appealing to the masses because it’s so incredibly versatile. There are dozens of different shades and techniques available to suit any aesthetic, satisfy even the most staunchly professional atmosphere, or accent literally any style or cut. Pink can be done peekaboo fashion, where only a section of hair underneath gets the color and you get to choose if it shows and how much. There are highlights or streaks, balayage or ombre options, all of which can be barely-there or loud and proud. Pink can be done just as a super subtle tint or a vibrant, bold statement. Heck, there’s even pink mermaid hair if the other choices don’t quite suit you.
Pink is the ultimate, utterly perfect feminine color and is making waves and trending across the globe. It’s beautiful, unique and stylish. If there’s a downside to this hair color trend at all, it’s that it will almost always require a fair amount of bleaching before the color can be applied. Those delightful hues won’t show up well over dark or even medium colored hair so unless you’re already blonde, prepare yourself for a long processing time and intensive moisturizing aftercare.
Don’t let that dampen your enthusiasm for luscious pink locks though! An excellent stylist can do magic with any color and they’ll tell you the best products for keeping hair healthy after coloring. Now let’s get to the fun part and take a look at the wide array of pink hair options out there.

For a stunning all-over color, this one is amazing. This shade tends to complement any skin tone and fits well with any season, hairstyle, or age. Also, any all-over color is going to be somewhat lower maintenance than balayage or ombre applications, and that’s always a bonus.
