Pink blond, which is also sometimes called pearl or quartz, is a stylish and fashionable color that many have liked. It looks at the same time restrained and unusual thanks to light overflows in pinkish shades. In this article, we will consider who this color is suitable for, how to choose a shade, paint, and also how to care for dyed hair.
Who is going to?
Blond is a demanding color that is not for everyone. Despite the fact that many have at least once tried on themselves similar shades of hair, in reality, they look organically only on some types of appearance.
This is especially true for pink blond, since this color is initially brighter and more demanding.
The first thing that affects the perception of hair color is the condition of the skin. If you are planning to paint in a blond with a pinkish tint, you should consider a number of nuances.
- Pink blond requires, first of all, very well-groomed skin. The fact is that light tones make a special emphasis on the skin of the face, so imperfections can become even more obvious. This is especially true for redness - since pink pigments are present in the paint, it will emphasize any irritation on the skin.
- Blondes and blondes are usually people with a light complexion. It is pale skin that most naturally looks with a blond - so your hair will never look like a wig. The Scandinavian type of appearance goes well with any blond.
- Dark skin can sometimes look good with blond too.. Peach and olive skin tones and pinkish hair will look very bright and exotic. However, they may be unnatural visually.Choosing such a stain, keep in mind that this is always an experiment - the result can both please you and disappoint you.
In addition to the skin, the condition of the hair itself, as well as the haircut, is important. Here, stylists are advised to proceed from the following principles.
- Like skin, the hair for the strawberry blonde should be very well-groomed - you choose a catchy color, so you will be focused on attention. It is worth considering that even if the condition of your hair is currently in good condition, brightening dyeing can significantly damage the health of your hair - you will need very careful care and good smoothing products for styling.
- Mostly blond choose owners of straight hair, not curly. Firstly, ethnically blondes were more often women with straight hair, and this looks as natural as possible. Secondly, curls can look casually in such a bright color. Finally, the structure of curly hair is often more vulnerable to dye when the hair is initially softer and thinner.
- Short haircuts with a pink blond look very interesting and bold. For example, it is a pixie, a bean or a square. In this combination, you can easily create a bright, bold, but feminine image.
- Graduated haircuts on long hair can also look very interesting: due to the difference in the length of the strands, the light will play differently on your hair, creating interesting overflows of paint. Pink blond is a complex and composite color that changes depending on the lighting. A competent hairdresser will be able to create an interesting effect based on a cascading haircut.
- Despite the fact that the color is bright, it is very versatile for any styling and hairstyles. Complex pink hairstyles, laid soft curls, braids and pony tails will look good on a pink blonde.
- Sometimes pink blond is used for shatusha or balayazha - these are options for dyeing, based on soft highlighting, which allow you to create the effect of hair burnt out in the sun. Pink blond goes well with straw or ashy shades - depending on which shade of pink you choose.

Paint selection
First of all, you need to decide whether you are going to do the coloring yourself or go to the salon. One way or another, it is better to choose a professional paint. As for the brand, you can read reviews or consult a consultant in the store - different brands are good for different types of hair, so there is no universal solution here.
Please note that if your natural hair color is light, you can simply choose a paint that brightens 1-2 tones to blond. Paint pigments will interact with the pigments of your hair, so in the end, the shade can turn out a little darker, warmer or colder than shown in the example.
If you have dark hair, you need to bleach it - It is very important to correctly observe the technology and recommendations on the packaging with the paint in order to minimize damage to the hair.
If you go to the salon, usually in the salon they work with specific brands of paints - accordingly, the colorist will offer you only what is in the range. If you trust the reputation of the salon, you can trust the master. If in doubt, choose a salon that works with those brands whose products you have already used - this may give some kind of guarantee that the paint will suit you.
Staining options
The easiest way to get a pink blond is a one-color staining with paint of the corresponding color. This is easy to do even at home: on short hair, you can easily distribute the dye on your hair yourself, and for long hair it is better to ask a friend for help. You will need gloves, several mirrors for better visibility, and a timer to pinpoint time.
If the correct technology is observed, the color will turn out to be even and beautiful - such a coloring is suitable for both caret and graded haircuts.
Often make an ombre or sombre with a transition from dark to strawberry blond. The advantages of this type of dyeing are many: firstly, you will not spoil your hair by bleaching too much, and secondly, such dyeing will not fundamentally change your image.
If you are inexperienced in self-staining, to create a transition, it is better to contact the salon, however, it is quite possible to make such an option at home. It is enough to stab the locks of hair at the same distance and apply the paint only to the lower half - in all the nuances follow the instructions from the specific manufacturer. For an ombre with a clear border, you need to apply the paint evenly, and for an ombre with a smooth transition, the paint at the tips must be kept longer than in the middle of the strands.
Similarly do fashionable staining with dark roots. This is convenient, because the hair will grow back imperceptibly, and you do not have to constantly tint the roots. To create the effect, simply apply the paint not from the roots, but a couple of centimeters below.Flat hair clips will help to align the length of all strands.
Soft highlights - shuttle and balayazh - it is better to do in salons. For them, you need to highlight the strands and wrap it with foil under the dye, while on the rest of the hair apply another dye or leave them in a natural color. The output is a soft transition that resembles hair that is burnt out in the sun. This gives the hair volume and shine.
Follow-up care
Many people know that, unfortunately, the blonde is very quickly washed out - this applies primarily to pink shades. Proper care is very important if you want to preserve the color for a long time: it can remain saturated and attractive for more than a month, if you take care of your hair correctly.
Consider the main important points in caring for a pink blond.
First of all, you need special shampoo and conditioner for colored hair care. It is better if they are products of the same brand as your paint. Sometimes you can find tinting shampoos that allow you to maintain color for a long time, but their use is recommended only if the shade completely matches yours. Pink color is very moody and complex, it can easily be interrupted by an ordinary blond.
Traditional shampoos for colored hair have two goals: wash your hair with maximum care without drying it, and maintain color. They act very gently on the hair follicle, leaving it sealed to preserve pigments.
Conditioner balm should be moisturizing and nourishing. This is especially the case when you lighten dark hair before the blonde. Discoloration inevitably causes damage to the hair, it becomes thinner, prone to dryness, brittle. therefore it is necessary to nourish the hair along the entire length.
However, even if you choose good products, remember that the more often you wash your hair, the faster the color is washed out.
It is not necessary to wash your hair every day, if you do not use varnish and hard fixation products, it is enough to wash your hair 2-3 times a week.
Since hair after dyeing can be damaged, various indelible care products will not damage moisturizing oils and serums. In addition, it is worth paying attention to styling products. You may need it Shining and smoothing mousses. Thanks to these tools, the hairstyle will look well-groomed and neat. In addition, with smoothing agents, hair is less confused and, accordingly, less mechanically damaged.
