Pink balayage gives hair a natural-looking rosy or pale red hue. Depending on the intensity of the tones, this hair color can give you an effortless romantic style or a bold look that stands out.

Elle Bruno, a hair colorist from Nutley, NJ, shared her top suggestions for ladies trying this fashion color.

💡 Key Things to Know First

• Hair goals can be unrealistic in one session, so be patient.
• Understand how much maintenance will go into your desired look. Make sure it’s the color you can keep up with and enjoy in the coming weeks.
• Come back to the salon two weeks after the initial service.
• Avoid washing the hair every day to prevent fading. Washing it with color-treated shampoo and conditioner is key, along with cool water.
• Redkens Acidic Bonding shampoo and conditioner are great. And, FUSIO-Dose by Kerastase, too!
• Here’s a recap. During the consultation, these are the questions to ask your stylist:
  • What will the maintenance look like?
  • After achieving my desired look, how long should I wait before changing my hair color again? And to what shade?
  • Will this process damage my hair?
  • What products do you recommend?
  • Will this whole idea work with my budget?

Make sure you wash with cool water to preserve your color.

Dusty Pink Balayage on Wavy U-Cut Hair

If you’re looking to add pastel to your blonde hair, try a pastel pink balayage. For more tame, you can use rose gold as a contrasting color to your soft pink highlights.
