Tips on going pink

Thanks everyone! I’m going to give special effects a go! I’ve tried Manic Panic and was really unimpressed with the staying power.
Sounds like dry shampoo will be a must in summer! Thanks!

Hi beauties!

I’m hoping for some recommendations on the best pink hair dyes?

Thanks!

I’ve used special effects for pink before, the colour holds for ages and even when they fade they don’t turn into a hideous colour. Manic panic has already been mentioned.
You can also get sparks and crazy colour but I haven’t had the best experiences with them (I have only used them on non-bleached hair though as I can no longer have bold colours)

If you want an in salon solution, Wella free lights and Instamatic Colour are absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

personally what I’d probably do if I was to dye my hair a bright colour now, would use a colour that goes well with my natural hair, bleach the ends only and have it like an ombre kinda look.
easier, less product needed for reapplication (save a bit of money), and not all the hair would be damaged from bleaching and easier to grow out 🙂

were you wanting bright or pastel?
you’ll need blonde or bleached hair for good results.
manic panic has a product you can mix with any of the shades to make it pastel.

special effects hair dye is really good!
I love cherry bomb, which is what I used when I had bright red hair a couple of years ago..
they have a few pinks as well.
I think you might have to buy online.

manic panic is a very popular brand as well and I’ve seen it stocked at price attack.

keep in mind, bright colours hair dyes like this, will need a lot of upkeep!

only wash with cold water and wash your hair as little as possible.
it sounds gross, but I was typically only washing my hair once a week! unless I got really sweaty or something like that.
I wasn’t using any hair products other than dry shampoo so at least there wasn’t any product build up.
dry shampoo was my friend 🙂 it was definitely the best way to avoid washing out the colour.

and I was re-dying my hair at least once a month.

so not exactly a cheap / easy thing to keep up, but it looks awesome so what do you do 😛
