Question How to do pink hair well? - 02-07-08, 09:56 PM

I really have no idea why, but I have my heart set on having pink hair at some point in time.
So far I've only seen one girl on the internet (from my searches) who can pull it off well without it looking horrid.










So, my question is..
How exactly would I go about dying my hair pink without it looking horrible? How would I take care of my hair? What would I need to do each day so it doesn't look too ridiculous considering it would be pink...?

Also, I believe in the first two pictures, the pink hair might be a wig on top of the black hair. I'm not a hair expert, though, so I could be wrong. Wig, hair extensions, or her real hair?

Just anything you know about dying one's hair pink would be super helpful

I really sorry i dont do hair, however a girl a work as bright pink hair and it looks fab, never seems to fade/discolour. She uses one of the permament wash in colours, i forgot the name. They do all bright colours and you can buy the hairdye in all supermarkets.

My daughter had pink hair for a while it was achieved by first bleaching her hair to a very light blonde and then adding a pink dye

Mmmm yes it looks fab,
she looks a bit like a young Victoria Principal from Dallas, lol x
a very pretty lass with lovely eyes ,
and on the last pic , I would say the fringe and top part is her own the rest has been added on by extensions and perhaps as you said a wig on the others ,

Lellipop is right about the colours used,

it looks like it could have been one of the crazy colours in pink on her own hair,

She is really STUNNING, isn't she !

I agree with one of the comments made, in some pics it does look like a wig or hair extensions... the texture just doesn't look like real hair. None the less, she def. can pull the colour off !

I think the problem with pink is that it does tend to fade quite quickly and you need to stay on top of it. I've seen a couple of people in my time who's hair has turned into a very pale pink / orangy colour because they haven't maintained it and it doesnt' look good.

As mentioned before, the hair would have to be bleached to remove all colour and then the chosen colour is applied.

I'm not a hair geek, but I would recommend that you have it done by a hair specialist instead of trying it at home.

again, id agree the main way to do it is bleach then pink dye, but some of the 'crazy colours' and fudge brand will colour it from your natural colour, which is obviously less damaging.

I would love it if everyone who is up for it would have a strip of pink put in their hair for breast cancer awareness day,
people could have a special offer pink bit ,
and all the money earned could go to the breast cancer fund x
