To achieve a beautiful pastel pink hair color, you'll need to lighten your hair to a very pale blonde, almost white. This is crucial to allow the pastel pink dye to show up properly. You can achieve this with bleach, using a 40-volume developer initially and then following up with a 30-volume developer a week later. Ensure you leave time between bleachings for your hair to recover.
Once your hair is light enough, you can start applying the pastel pink dye. To create a true pastel shade, mix your chosen pink dye with a generous amount of Neutral Mix. This will help dilute the color and create the desired soft pastel effect. Experiment with different ratios of dye to Neutral Mix until you achieve the perfect balance of pigment.
Here are some additional tips for achieving pastel pink hair:
- Use a direct dye. Direct dyes are a great option for pastel hair as they are semi-permanent and fade out gradually, which is ideal for maintaining the pastel color.
- Apply the dye to damp hair. This will help the dye to adhere better to your hair and create a more even application.
- Use a conditioner to seal in the color. After applying the dye, condition your hair to help seal in the color and prevent it from fading too quickly.
Remember that achieving pastel pink hair takes time and effort, so be patient and don't be afraid to experiment until you find the perfect shade for you.
