Are you ‘dyeing’ to try something different, something bold and sexy? With the
Womentality Pink theme flowing through
the whole magazine this month, we have
decided to present to you some amazing ideas to try out.
So with that in mind, we need to start off
with light-coloured hair for the best and
brightest pink results. Unless your hair is already light blonde, you’re going to have
to use bleach or a blonde hair dye to
permanently lighten your hair.
Let’s begin with a quick overview of the
basics of dyeing your hair pink, or any
other unnatural colour.
Assuming you’re not already platinum-haired, you’ll need to go through a
permanent transformation and try life as
a blonde!
Colours like pink, blue, purple, green etc.
are translucent. This means that the
colour underneath, your base colour, will
show through the tint. Since these dyes
don’t contain any peroxide, they can’t
lighten your hair but they don’t damage
it either.
Excellent, now we know we can top up
our pink hair dye as often as we like without wrecking our hair. You will probably
find you need to recolour occasionally
because unfortunately there are no permanent pink hair dyes out there.
For a subtle hint of colour that looks great
with all skin tones, try some of these
shades:
Baby Pink, Candy Floss, Pastel Pink
Pastel dyes contain less pigment which
makes the colour lighter, but also means
it washes out more quickly. This is a great
option for anyone who gets bored easily
but keep in mind it may take several
weeks for it to wash out. Another thing to
keep in mind is that your blonde must be
very light and very even before applying
a pastel shade or the results will be undesirable.
