    Wash your hair with cool water, and condition your hair from the roots to the ends. Keeping your hair moisturized is a big part of maintaining your color, because the stronger you keep your hair cuticle, the better it's going to be able to hold onto the shade.

    Possibly, but only if you have hair that's already fairly light. If you dye your hair pink or any other fantasy color, try not to wash your hair as often to maintain the color. When you do shampoo your hair, use sulfate-free shampoos that are complementary to the color you chose.
  • Question
    Should I dye my hair myself or ask a stylist?
    Community Answer
    It would be safer to let your stylist do it the first time. Coloring your own hair can be tricky sometimes, especially with a strong color as pink.
  • Question
    How long do permanent dyes last?
    Community Answer
    Permanent hair dye is permanent, but the color usually starts to fade after around one or two months, depending on how frequently you shampoo. You can just re-dye the roots as needed if the color isn't too faded.
  • Question
    My hair is bleached red. What color will it turn if I mix pink and blue semi-permanent dye into it?
    Community Answer
    Since you have red hair, pink and blue will make it purple. If you don't want to risk it, cut a small piece of hair, and try this.
  • Question
    My hair is blonde, but it's not white-blonde, it's a slightly darker shade of blonde. Will the color show up?
    Ashleigh Wampler
    Community Answer
    It will show up, but the color might not be as vibrant as you want, so you should bleach it if you want a bright pink. If you've already bleached it I suggest using a toner so the dye will fade to a lighter and lighter pink instead of an orangey-peach shade.
  • Question
    I want to dye my hair pink, but I can't find pink dye in any of the drug stores. Is there is a way to mix 2 other colors to get pink?

    Yes, try a deep red with a white or blonde.

    Is there a way to color just some of my hair pink?

  • Question
    How do I dye my hair naturally so it washes out?
    Community Answer
    You can use Kool-Aid mix, just make sure your hair is wet. You could also use Jello mix but it doesn't work as well. Lastly, you could use a washable marker and just color on your hair. I used a purple marker on my dark brown hair once and it worked really well.

    You don't have to use professional hair dye; you can choose from liquid, chalk, shampoo, or powder dye. However, professional dye typically offers better results.
  • Question
    I bleached my hair twice to dye it pink, but it turned out yellow and orange. Should I dye it pink now, use purple shampoo, or tone it?
    Nastya Shmelëva
    Community Answer
    You can use purple shampoo to tone it or consider bleaching again. Otherwise, the pink may show orange tones.
  • Question
    How will pink dye show up on my bleached hair with fading brown dye if I don’t remove the existing color first?
    Nastya Shmelëva
    Community Answer
    The pink dye likely won’t show up well unless you remove the existing color. Once you do, the pink will show up much better.
  • Question
    I have dyed brown hair. Will this concept still work?
    Nastya Shmelëva
    Community Answer
    As long as you remove the brown color or bleach it beforehand, it should work.
  • Question
    How can I make my thin, dark hair a vibrant pink instead of just a tint?
    Nastya Shmelëva
    Community Answer
    If your hair is dark, you may need to bleach it first to achieve a bright pink color.
  • Question
    If I bleach my hair and tint it, will it return to the bleach color or my natural hair color after the tint fades in 4 weeks?
    Nastya Shmelëva
    Community Answer
    Bleach will remain in your hair until it grows out or is cut. After the tint fades, your hair will return to the bleached color, not your natural color.

    The duration depends on the dye type: chalk lasts one day, semi-permanent dye lasts about 3 washes or 2 weeks, and permanent dye can last indefinitely.

    How do I dye my grey hair pink?

    Community Answer
    You need to first bleach the parts of your hair you want to dye, and then apply the pink dye. It might be best to ask a hairstylist to do it.
  • Question
    I've tried to dye my hair silver and pink on my already-bleached hair (done by a hair stylist), but when I wash it, the color is very faint and lasts for a day or two. How can I make it last longer?
    Community Answer
    If you get it permanent, then it should stay in longer. Wash your hair with cold water, and don't wash it the next day after going to the salon.
  • Question
    I have black hair. And my hair is really healthy but I don't know about bleaching my hair. What should I do? I am also deciding to do a partially blue dye.
    Top Answerer
    You cannot dye black hair directly because if you dye black hair, you cannot see the dye color. That is why you have to bleach it first before you dye it.
  • Question
    What does "bleach" mean?
    Top Answerer
    Bleaching literally means to put bleach on your hair. It lightens your hair. Consult the article Bleach Your Hair for details.
  • Question
    Do you have to use the toning shampoo? And what does it mean when it says to not leave hair lightening on for longer than recommended?
    Community Answer
    You do not have to use the toning shampoo if you don't want to. However, you may get a warmer shade than you expected if you don't use it and sometimes it may be unpleasant. If you leave bleach on for longer than recommended time, it may damage your hair.
