40 Most Popular Pink Hairstyles
Pink Hair Buzz Cut
Cropped short hair can be an excellent vessel for pink hair color. However, you need to have a thick head of hair for it.
You also must be careful when doing this hairstyle as you must bleach your hair very close to the roots.
This is necessary because the hair will be cut short.
Pink Side Bangs
The nice thing about side bangs is that they have many dimensions. You can color the top with a pastel pink hue and leave the undercut portion uncolored. This gives this hairstyle fun and boyish charm.
Pink Mohawk
If you have already decided to go all-in by getting a mohawk haircut, you might as well have it colored hot pink. This will make an already ostentatious haircut even gaudier. If you are going with this style, sea-salt spray is a great styling tool that can keep your hair in place.
Pink Slick Back With Shaved Sides
This hairstyle is equal parts serious and fun. The slicked-back hair and shaved sides give off an aura of stylish professionalism.
However, when you combine it with pink hair it somehow softens the stern look.
Pink Taper Haircut
This works in the same way as with the side bangs hairstyle. Color the top with whatever pink hue works with your skin tone but leave the sides untouched with bleach and dye.
Pink Hair and Beard
This is not for the faint of heart. Committing to coloring your hair pink is not that big of a deal. However, bleaching and dyeing your facial hair is on a whole other level.
It takes a lot of bravery to even attempt this look, as it can easily make you look obnoxious. You can bleach your beard at home, but always be very careful.
Pink Afro Hairstyle
This look is as hard to pull off as it is to do. Ask hairstylists about how difficult it is to bleach and color afro hair and they will tell you so many stories.
On the other hand if you are willing to spend quite a bit for the service and you are okay with the upkeep you will be getting a great hairstyle in return.
Pink Wavy Long Top Hair
One of the problems with pink hair colors is that it is high-maintenance. However if you pair it with a laid-back hairstyle like the long wavy top it will still look nice even if you let your hair color fade.
Celebrities That Rock Pink Hair
Justin Bieber
JB’s known for rocking a messy hairdo and he would sometimes change things up by adding color. However, when he colored his hair a soft pink, his fans all berserk.
Jaden Smith’s Pink Hair

Kanye West

You wouldn’t think that pink would suit Kanye, but he is the type that has enough swagger to pull it off.

Selby and his girlfriend, actress Maisie Williams, like to coordinate their wardrobes when going to events.
When they attended Sophie Turner’s wedding, they dyed their pink hair and wore GoT-inspired outfits.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Pink hair is eye-catching. If you are the type of person who likes to be the center of attention wherever you go, having pink hair will undoubtedly do that.
- Pink hair makes clothes look different on you. If you have ever wanted to change up your wardrobe, but it always seemed like the clothes you chose looked weird on you, try changing your hair pink. You might be surprised at how clothes will look at you now.
- It looks good on men. Contrary to what others believe, pink hair also suits men. It is not only for women as men who wear it also tend to look good and bring out their appeal.
Cons
- You cannot turn it off. Coloring your hair pink may not be permanent, but it will take a long time before it can return to its original colors. Also, take note of the unprofessional hairstyles to avoid, especially if you are working in a corporate environment.
- It will damage your hair. Coloring your hair requires you to bleach it first, which may cause severe damage.
This can leave it dry and frizzy for the first couple of weeks. During the first couple weeks, you should apply hair oil for health and growth, allowing your hair to recover faster.
How to Maintain Pink Dyed Hair
Step 1 – Start With Healthy Hair
Before bleaching and dyeing your hair pink, ensure it is as healthy as possible. A couple of weeks before the big day, use hair supplements that can ensure healthy hair.
Also, you should use a hair tonic. Hair tonic has multiple benefits that can make your hair more resilient to damage.
Step 2 – Get a Trim as Soon as You Can
The coloring severely damaged your hair, so there will be many split ends. As soon as you finish coloring your hair get it trimmed using premium hair cutting shears to stop the split ends from spreading.
Step 3 – Don’t Wash for the First Week or so
The coloring process already dries your hair. Washing it with shampoo will only damage it further. The leave-in conditioner is perfect for colored hair. Just wash your hair using plain water and then use this product afterward.
Step 4 – Use a Toning Shampoo
When it is okay to wash your hair use a toning shampoo to retain the color of your hair, keeping it brighter and longer.
