4 C’s of Going Pink:

Care and Condition:

Achieving the perfect pink hair takes a few steps from bleaching your hair to adding the pinkish hues. If you are ready to go pink, you need to make sure that your hair is in good condition not to dry it out. Also, once your hair is colored, you will need to use color safe hair products to protect both the color and the health of your hair.

Commitment:

Hair color is a commitment at any level, unless you opt for a temporary coloring or light pink hues. If you want an edgy look, it will require a time commitment on your part for touch ups and the like. So, make sure that you are ready to take the plunge!

Cost:

As stated earlier, depending on your commitment level, you will need frequent touch ups as well as deep conditioning to keep your hair soft and shiny. Ensure that you have the funds to handle this as it can cost a pretty penny to go bold with color.

Complexion:

With wide array of pinkish hues, you need to ensure that you find the shade that best compliments your skin tone and eye color. Bolder pink works best for medium to dark skin tones while those with a paler complexion should opt for pastel shades of pink.
