Colored hair is in. From those soft pinks to the light blues and purples, these hues have made their way into both women’s and men’s hair seen all over social media. From famous celebrities to famous Instagrammers, we’ve seen people rocking the trend, and perhaps you’ve been thinking about it yourself. Here are some tips if you’re thinking of dyeing your hair a pastel color:
Your Original Hair Color Matters
This isn’t just about whether or not you can pull of the pastel look. Your original hair color- whether you’re a blonde, brunette, redhead, or somewhere in between, will affect the process and overall look of your pastel makeover. For blondes, you’ll have an easier time dyeing your hair since the pigment of your hair is already light. Unfortunately for darker hair, it will be a greater venture, including bleaching your hair, to get your pastel color to show up.
Get Ready For Some Hair Maintenance
Your original hair color not only affects the dyeing process, but the upkeep of the color as well. If you have naturally darker hair, your touch ups will be more frequent with the bleaching and hair-dyeing treatments if you’re serious about having your pastels pop. Whether you have on section of your hair pastel, or a full head, the amount of times you wash your hair can also affect the color, and how much it fades. Try some hair products specifically used for color protection to help make your hair care routine easy and stress-free!
Sometimes Less Is More
We’ve seen the pastel look ranging from a fun twist on the ombre style to a whole-head hairdo. It’s important to take into account the two tips above, and it may help you make your decision on how much of your hair you want to be pastel-colored. Sometimes, less is more, especially if you’re testing the waters. Try doing a “peek-a-boo” strand in your under layers of your hair to see what color you like best, or perhaps the tips of your hair will work best instead of dyeing all of your hair.
At the end of the day, it’s all about what you want as an individual, and what will work best for your lifestyle.
