Things to Consider Before Dying Your Hair Pink:
Before you actually dye your hair pink, there will be some things you will want to consider first:
- Do you want highlights or do you want to color your entire head? Highlights can be trickier to place than allover color, but cause less damage to your hair.
- Also, do you want to combine pink with any other colors? This can be tricky as well but can give a beautiful dimensional effect to your hair.
- And, what kind of pink are you trying to go for? Lighter pinks will require your underlying hair to be bleached to a lighter shade, which may mean more damage.
These are all really important questions that you will want to ask yourself before you actually dye your hair. (And as always, if you’re at all unsure about DIY, always go to a salon for color!)
And, don’t worry if you have light or dark hair because there are many different ways that you can dye your hair to get the perfect pink shade that you want.
There are many different ways that you can incorporate pink into a fun new hairstyle, so I have put together this list of 17 gorgeous pink hair ideas to help you find the perfect pink hair look for you!
