Well, pink has always seduced and inspired us to dream. Yes, today more than ever, vibrant pink hair is dominating beauty trends. And yet, if you’re looking for a more subtle way to experience la vie en rose, our suggestion is to go for a powder pink shade. Brighter than a soft pastel but without the boldness of neon tones, powder pink is the perfect combination of ballet pink, cotton candy, and rose petals – a delicate yet vibrant shade with a perfectly romantic balance.
Today, we encourage you to discover 12 ways you can dye your hair in powder pink. From soft balayage to icy pink “glass” hair, here are all the ideas you need for your next salon appointment…
12 Powder Pink Shades to Try
1. Ash Blonde with Powder Pink Highlights
A shag haircut and a powder pink hue? The perfect pair! Think ’70s vibe with a modern color twist. If you already have an ash-blonde base, you can achieve this shade without bleaching or damage, using SHINEFINITY. Ask your colorist to apply a pink glaze layer – the result will be a translucent veil of blush tones with a stunning shine. Take home the Color Fresh Mask in Rose Blaze for quick refreshes between salon visits.
2. Powder Pink Glass Hair
Nothing shines brighter than glass hair, and this shade defines radiant health from roots to tips. Illumina Color delivers a natural and youthful result, while SHINEFINITY adds a touch of pastel pink brilliance. Finish with ULTIMATE SMOOTH Miracle Oil serum for instant smoothness and up to 3 days of protection.
3. Powder Pink Highlights on Brunette Hair
Just like rose gold hair, pink-on-dark bases has moved beyond trend status. This subtle, ethereal version is perfect for beginners in bold color. On naturally dark hair, pre-lightening is needed — ideally with BlondorPlex for stronger hair and up to 97% less breakage.
4. Pastel Powder Pink
Perfect for festivals, this dreamy look is easy to achieve: apply Color Fresh Mask in Pink Blush on pre-lightened hair and leave it on for 10 minutes. It’s simple, damage-free — just apply, wait, and rinse!
5. Cotton Candy Powder Pink
Want something softer than bright pink? Choose the cotton candy hue, with a bold fringe and the rest of the hair in a subtle pastel. Achieve it by bleaching to light blonde and applying the Rose Blaze mask twice for an elegant face-framing effect.
6. All-Over Powder Pink Hair
The demi-permanent Color Touch shade is perfect for a uniform yet dimensional pink. It includes a metal purifier for extra shine and intensity. On curly hair, pair with NutriCurls Curlixir Balm for defined, nourished curls.
7. Powder Pink with Violet Tones
Blend icy pink with violet accents for a wintery pastel look. This bold color block is ideal for extra flair. Achieve it with Koleston Perfect for intensity and chromatic richness.
8. Powder Pink on Platinum Blonde Base
This cool-toned hue is ideal for a romantic look. Healthy hair is essential – use ULTIMATE REPAIR mask with AHA and Omega-9 for deep hydration.
9. Powder Pink Pixie Bob with Fringe
Powder pink applied to tousled layers creates a playful, textured pixie look. Use EIMI Sugar Lift spray for added volume and movement.
10. Powder Pink Balayage on Dark Hair
On naturally brunette and curly hair, powder pink balayage involves lightening the mid-lengths and ends. Dark roots add depth and volume, while the pink tones applied with SHINEFINITY offer a gorgeous glowy finish.
11. Powder Pink on “Bronde” Hair
For a natural look, combine powder pink with brown-blonde hair. Dark roots and pink strands create a sun-kissed effect. Add soft waves with EIMI Ocean Spritz for a relaxed summer look.
12. Peach Powder Pink on Natural Brunette Hair
Peach-toned pink is trending! This warm shade flatters all skin tones and works on blonde, red, or brunette hair. Create it with SHINEFINITY glaze for an incredible shine.
