Pastel Pink

For a look that turns heads, choose an all-over application of pink like this beautiful style. Casual waves and layers add dimension to this single-color look. Whether your hair is long or short, cotton candy pink is a sweet shade for spring and summer.

Pink and Purple Ombre

Rather than transitioning to caramel or blond ends, ask your stylist to use a dreamy shade of pink or purple. Consider coloring your roots a shade of burgundy to complement the lighter ends. An ombre look is easy to grow out, so your pink and purple hair should last and look gorgeous for months with a few touch-ups here and there.

Subtle Shine

For those with naturally dark hair, very subtle coloring will allow pink and purple hair shine in the sunlight. The nuances of a deep magenta color catch the light and make the hair look shiny and healthy.

Hints of Orange

Choosing pink highlights that are closer to the orange side of the spectrum lets you get a multidimensional look with tons of texture. Deeper purple lowlights complement the salmon pink tones for a playful style.
