Rose gold pastel is a versatile hair hue that complements neutral and warmer skin tones. For people with richer shades of hair color, they should be pre-lightened to see it at its truest hue. To maintain this color, find a rose gold color conditioner.

Pastel Pink Ombre

This pastel pink ombre color was created by hairstylist Marisabel Romo of Chandler, AZ.

“The best thing about this hair color is the shine and contrast between the beautiful natural color and the way it transitions to pastel pink,” says Romo.

In order to get this gorgeous pastel-colored hair, Romo says you have to be at a level 10 blonde (inside of a banana peel). “It was easy to reach this on the model in the picture because her natural level is a 7 dark blonde. It is a long process when the hair is level 3 dark brown,” she explains.

Pro Tip: Be mindful you may have to return in about 2 weeks to refresh the color.

This is an uplifting, fun, and playful pastel rainbow hair color created by stylist Shannon Diamond of Scotland.

If you’re looking at fashion colors like these, Diamond says to think about its maintenance and wearability. She explains, “this image was captured four weeks after application and all tones used have beautifully morphed into lighter versions of what they originally were.”

Products like Matrix Biolage R.A.W. Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner or Matrix Total Results Keep Me Vivid Shampoo and Conditioner are key to keep this pastel color long-lasting.

Light Blue Pastel Tones

These light blue pastel tones are a really modern look and were created by hairstylist Carol Geiger of Switzerland.

She explains, “these hair colors wash out beautifully. After 2 weeks it will turn more green, and after 1 month, it turns into a light pastel mint color.”

Geiger says to consider that these types of color in hair don’t last very long. “They wash out more quickly than the natural colors like blonde or brown tones, so you probably have to go to the hair salon more often. You also have to bleach the hair until its white-blonde before you can do color like that, so your hair should be as healthy as possible,” she adds.

You have to be a woman who takes her time for the hair treatment because, after the bleaching and addition of the best pastel hair dye, your hair needs frequent treatments like masks, a good color-saving conditioner, and moisturizing leave-in & styling products.

Pastel Teal

This pastel teal color has a ton of versatility and it was created by hairstylist Jessica Jones of Brantford, ON.

“Ask your colorist to section out the two halves in a zigzag pattern so that depending on how you feel about parting your hair, it could look completely different,” says Jones.

She adds, “you must have your hair lightened to a very pale shade of blonde for the true tone to show. This takes patience and can be costly. Secondly, pastel shades do tend to fade faster than richer/jewel-toned colors.”

“These shades of pastel hair are for the type of woman who is always keen to try new things and doesn’t mind the maintenance and upkeep of the pastel life,” says Powell. “It also complements light or pale skin tone.”

Pastel Unicorn Hair

This pastel unicorn hair was created with Mydentity hair dye and its bonding sidekick, Olaplex! The colorist behind this look is Megan Campbell of Las Vegas, NV.

“While this pastel hairstyle is achievable using other brands, they were the foundation of this look,” says Campbell. “Ask your colorist to use the diagonal parting technique because it makes the color look different no matter where you choose to part it. Likewise, if parted down the center, it makes a ribbon effect. If you choose to part your hair on the side, then it will actually take on a more dramatic peekaboo effect.”

Pastel balayage will require toners, treatments, and glazes or full colors, all before the fun shades are even applied. Dark hair starting levels will take longer and require more steps to achieve pastels than naturally lighter hair will. Also, each visit will take between 5-7 hours to create the unicorn tears magic.

Furthermore, pastels are a fragile color in any color line. They all tend to fade fast. So, if this is the pastel unicorn hair of your dreams, Campbell wants you to know it’s considered a high-maintenance color and will require regular maintenance to maintain the pastel hues.

Platinum White Pastel Hair Color

This is a platinum white pastel hair color with an overtone to a slight pastel lilac root. It flatters women with warm skin undertones and was created by hairstylist Jaimie Brown of Marietta, OH.

If you have pastel-inspired hair color ideas, Brown says you really should have a natural level 7 hair or above. Plus, maintenance is something to consider.  Touch ups are needed every 5 weeks.

“Ask your colorist to send you home with a purple shampoo (Pulp Riot Barcelona) for at-home maintenance,” she notes. “Also, use an at-home conditioning treatment once a week and oil with a heat protectant.”
