Pink hair dye is a great choice for punky refreshing hair! But listen up cotton candy head, here are some tips if you want to dye your hair pink.
The easiest way to get your hair dyed is at a professional hair salon. Many people, however, use pink hair dye to dye their hair at home. There are great pink hair dyes on the market. Manic Panic, La Riche Directions and Punky are good choices.
This first thing to think about is how pink hair dye will interact with your current hair color. If you have blonde hair you should get excellent results without pre-bleaching. Pink hair dye will come out in a sharp and vibrant pink. If your normal hair is brown or black, however, you will need to bleach your hair first. This is a more involved process.
Keep in mind that pink hair dye does not lighten your normal hair color. Only bleaching products that contain ammonia or peroxide will lighten your hair color. Rather, pink hair dye coats your normal hair with pink pigment and this pigment naturally washes away over a period of time. So if you have black or brown hair, just imagine mixing it with pink pigment. Not a good look! Some people with dark hair color are able to use pink hair dye to give their hair a pink tint. If this is what you are going for, you may want to experiment with pink hair dye on your hair. But if you want a bright and clear pink color, you are going to need to bleach first.
If you bleach your hair, understand that it will be permanent until your natural hair color grows back in. So it will take longer to undo the effects of your hair coloring adventure than if you just used pink hair dye.
You may want to bleach your hair even if you are are a blonde. Even though you will get great results without bleaching, bleached hair will absorb better absorb the pigment of pink hair dye. This will make your hair coloring last longer.
Pink hair dye can last anywhere from 2-8 weeks. How long it will last depends on a number of factors, including the condition of your hair, how much sun your hair gets, the kind of water in your home, and the types of shampoo and hair products you use.
