Superstar pop singer P!NK is the go-to celebrity when it comes to styled pink hair, and when she burst onto the stage in the early 2000s, she appeared on stage with pink highlights in her hair.
Celebrating this fact, we raise a glass to any woman who adds pink to her hair, as it’s vibrant, daring, and extremely flattering if you get it right.
To help you, we’ve put together some tips to consider before adding pink tips to your hair, as well as some hair styling ideas that will help you work pink into your hair this year.
Pink hair tips for healthy colored hair
Before we introduce you to some pink hair styling ideas, follow these tips to keep your hair healthy and hydrated when you add color:
Start with your skin tone
Like every other hair color, pink comes in numerous tones. Peachy pink is a great look for warm complexions, while cooler complexions will suit a powdery, pastel pink.
Prepare your hair for coloring
Before coloring your hair, it should be in a state of being great heath. Adding color to your hair will change its chemical make-up and will cause unhealthy hair to dry out. So, before coloring your hair with pink, hydrate your hair with a hair mask and use conditioners to lock in the moisture.
Choose the right products
After adding pink tips or highlights to your hair, use the best products to treat and care for your hair. Look for shampoos and conditioners that have specifically been developed for colored hair. Also, use an ionic hair dryer like the Laifen Swift Special to prevent your colored hair from drying out.
Pink hair ideas to try this year
If you’re sold on the idea of pink tips in your hair, here are some trending looks to try in 2024 to add vibrancy to your style:
1. Chocolate raspberry
Brunette hair with pink tips is one of our favorite looks, and the chocolate raspberry style is hard to beat. You can go for pink tips or add pink accents to your brunette hair, depending on your preferences. The idea is that your brunette hair creates a solid base, and the pink accents add a chic, flirty look without being too overbearing.
2. Blonde hair with pink tips
Long blonde hair with pink tips is one of 2024’s most daring looks and delivers a wonderful contrast. We think that bleached blonde hair works best with pink tips, as the contrast is particularly striking. Consider styling your hair in beachy waves that run down your back, adding pink hair tips to the bottom quarter of your hair for an incredible look. Here are more blonde hair colors.
3. Rose gold
Pink hair tips on blonde aren’t only for those with bleached, almost-white hair. In fact, rose gold is another stunning color option that will turn heads for all the right reasons. Rose gold is a warm, peachy shade that features darker roots with pink highlights and it’s perfect for women with darker skin complexions. This is also one of the most subtle ways to wear gold hair, which is a good option if you’re apprehensive about adding this color to your locks.
4. Black hair with pink tips
Dark hair and pink tips are the perfect contrast, showcasing your lighter and darker side. If you have naturally dark hair, you can add pink tips to your hair with ease. We recommend a short style for an eye-catching look, but you can also add pink tips to your long, flowing black hair. Bear in mind that if your hair is not naturally black, you will probably need to dye your hair, which will add time and expense to the process of adding pink tips.
5. Dirty blonde hair with pink tips
Dirty blonde is a favored look among women with darker skin complexions and it’s a combination of blonde hair with brown highlights. As is the case with bleached blonde hair, pink tips can work wonderfully when added to dirty blonde hair, adding a stark contrast between the darker, richer tones of your primary hair with the light and vibrant tips that finish off your look.
6. Bright pink tips
Do you really want to make a statement this year? Dropping all subtlety, you can go for bright pink tips that will capture the attention. We think that bright pink tips look great on women with short, spiky hair, and they’re a brilliant way to rock a look that is unique and eye-catching. Bright pink tips work well with darker hair tones, as the striking contrast in tones is one of the best things about creating this hairstyle.
The bottom line
Before you settle on the type of pink to add to your hair this year, remember to hydrate and nourish your hair. Nourishing your hair before coloring it is crucial, as it will help to protect your hair as the color is added and will prevent it from drying out.
Then, as we’ve introduced in this article, there are so many incredible styles and shades of pink to add to your hair, depending on the look you’re hoping to achieve. You can keep it subtle with our chocolate raspberry recommendation, or you can go all out with bright pink tips on dark hair; the choice is yours!
