Pink hair has become an increasingly trendy look on runways and Instagram feeds of fashion icons like Dua Lipa and Kaia Gerber.
Bleaching hair to achieve a light pink shade requires patience and skill; professional help should be sought due to being an intense process that could damage the locks.
It’s a sign of hope.
Dying your hair pink can add a bright splash of color and bring hope during this pandemic.
Pink dyes come both temporarily and permanently; permanent ones contain chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, which break down melanin from your natural melanin deposits to alter its hue; temporary dyes, on the other hand, are safe, quick solutions for changing up your look quickly and safely.
Kaia Gerber recently went full bubblegum pink (with pastel pink mermaid waves!), as has Dua Lipa and Demi Lovato. At the same time, for those not ready to embrace such bold color choices, there is also mauve blonde available as an alternative option.
Although some online commenters criticized the poster, most supported her choice to wear pink as it’s an easy and cost-effective choice that fades quickly if one becomes bored with its appearance.

Pink has quickly become celebrities’ go-to hair color choice during the coronavirus pandemic, from Kaia Gerber and Madonna to Dua Lipa and Abbey Roberts experimenting with bubblegum or rose hues.
While this might seem bold initially, it can look incredibly chic and suit any skin tone perfectly.
However, if your locks start dark, creating the desired pink hue takes some work. Both Aviles and Elena recommend bringing reference photos – even if they are different – as this gives the stylist an idea of what you are after and helps avoid mistakes such as an unexpected neon or muddy shade.
Experts advise applying a color-depositing mask to protect strands from damage and limit shampoo sessions for maximum vibrancy. And for those who still need to get ready for full-head pink, plenty of safe tints are easy to apply at home.
It’s a sign of fun.
Pink hair has made waves recently. From Dua Lipa’s pastel mermaid waves to Kaia Gerber’s neon pink transformation (courtesy of Guido Paulo), pink strands have become an Instagram trending topic.
Bleaching hair can be a painful process that can leave it fragile. With proper care, however, your locks can remain healthy even with color added, says Elena.
To maintain healthy strands even with color, she advises using a sulfate-free shampoo, which is gentler on your scalp and provides regular treatment with hair oil to keep glossy and vibrant strands.
Pink is an easy and enjoyable hue to experiment with because of its youthful, playful vibes and low commitment requirements; wash or fade out when ready for something different. Indulging in pink will leave you feeling empowered and beautiful, perfect for millennials wanting to stand out amongst crowds.
It’s a sign of change.
As we’re constantly bombarded by images of beautiful women with blonde locks, it can be refreshing to do something different and try something out-of-the-box – like pink hair! A vibrant color can transform an entire appearance and boost confidence levels instantly.
Kaia Gerber, Kate Hudson, and Dua Lipa have been seen rocking this trend recently – but if pastels aren’t your thing yet, mauve blonde looks can still add some pop.
According to colorist Brit King from Larry Kings London Salon, brunettes should take a more subtle approach to pastel trends. She suggests using Josh Wood and Moroccanoil color-depositing masks for “a soft, rose gold hue.”
Additionally, less frequently washing your hair will also slow the fade process; just be sure to use a heat protectant when running a hot iron over bleached locks; this will prevent it from drying out too rapidly while maintaining healthy locks.
