A light pink hair color is a gentle and understated shade of pink. Common variations of this softer pink include bubblegum, cotton candy, pastel pink, and rose gold.

With such a vivid color, a skilled hair colorist should be sought out to perform the task because most home hair dyes won’t endure as long. After discovering the ideal light pink tone that complements your complexion, the next step would be to have your hair pre-lightened to a blonde to achieve a splendid vibrant result.

When washing your hair, it’s very important to do so with the coldest water to help the color last longer and condition very well.

Before your next hair appointment, take a look at these pictures of the best light pink hair color ideas!
