Pink Hair Dye

Pink hair dye is a way to make a refreshing change to your appearance. This punky fresh color will wow your friends and give you a chance to really express yourself.

If you want to maximize your chance of having your pink hair dye turn out right, you might want to think about going to a hair salon. They are expensive but they have lots of experience dyeing hair. If this is not an option because of cost, understand that lots of people use pink hair dye at home with great success. There are some great products available. Look at products from La Riche Directions, Punky, Manic Panic, and others.

Begin with evaluating how pink hair dye will mix with what color your hair is now. Blondes will not need to bleach their hair and will go to pink very easily. If you have dark hair, however, going pink will require more work. You are going to begin with bleaching your hair.

To understand why this is so, you need to understand what pink hair dye is. Pink hair dye does not lighten the color of your hair. Only products that have ammonia or peroxide will do this. Instead, pink hair dye covers your hair will pink pigment. The pigment will wash out of your hair over time. So if you have brown hair, for instance, using pink hair dye without pre-bleaching is like putting brown paint on a pink surface. Probably not a good look for you! Some people just want a pinkish tint to their hair, and you can experiment with using pink hair dye on unbleached hair if you want to try this. But you will never get a vibrant and bright pink to dark hair without first using bleach.

Even some people with natural blonde hair decide to bleach before they dye. The pink hair dye will last longer on bleached hair because the bleaching process increases the absorption power of hair. The color may also be a little cleaner, although if you are a blonde you will do just fine by using pink hair dye straight out of the box without bleaching.

Do not bleach your hair without understanding the risks. It will damage your hair, even if done correctly. If done incorrectly, the damage could be permanent and irreversible. Make sure you follow the directions on the box correctly. Moreover, bleaching is permanent. The only way that you will reverse the effects of bleaching is to just let new hair grow out to replace the bleached hair.

Your new hair will last between 2-8 weeks. How long pink hair dye lasts depends on the type of products you use, how much sun your hair gets, the quality of water in your home, and what kind of condition your hair is in. Have fun with your new punky pink hair!
