Considering putting a curse of pink in your hair in 2026? Pink hair can be spotted as the top statement of 2019, both in the soft and the bold gradient shades. You like subtle or prefer to plunge into vivid colors, there is a pink appearance to each style. We are going to check out some of the newest pink hair trends that are sure to have you excited to get something new and exciting!

Vibrant Pink Waves with a Modern Touch

This appearance is one of swagger. The hair color mixes easily the dark pink tones of rose with the lighter, pink tones almost pastel that blend together in gentle waves. The hair is natural and voluminous in nature with a fresh and bouncy touch. The haircut is very close to the shoulders and this gives the perfect balance between the length and movement. Combined with a black leather jacket that is smooth and neutral makeup, this appearance is nonchalantly stylish without being too flashy. It is the ideal statement dress that one would choose, in order to immerse into the world of a high-end pink color, without discouraging the mascot of classy style.

In order to sustain this appearance, the use of color-safe products is necessary so that the pink could not fade away as fast. A moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as the Hydrate Shampoo by Pureology will keep your hair either moist or your color fresh. A heat protectant will also be desired in case you are using curling irons to style your hair, to maintain the color longer.

Through my personal experience, the trick to being able to sport such vivid pink hair is to ensure that whatever you are doing to your color is professionally done. At-home dyes may work, but a visit to a salon also guarantees that your color will stay and it will look good. In case you are not certain about the commitment, you can always use a semi-permanent dye to test the waters.

Playful Pastel Pink and Blue Combo

Such lighthearted pastel combination is a dream play mix to those who enjoy the combination of light, whimsical hues. The pastel pink is then merged to the tips in a small blue that forms a soft ombré and is fun and fresh. The hair is worn in loose and beachy waves that provide it with an already cool appearance. The half-up bun is an added youthful energy and makes the whole appearance spontaneous and playful as though it was something you have worn out on a free weekend with your friends.

It takes gentle care to keep this pastel perfection especially when using colour-treated hair. A sulfate free shampoo will also help preserve your color. Besides, a leave-in conditioner could be used to avoid any dryness that might be caused by excessive washes.

In regards to styling, I am in love with the thought of a more natural beachy wave style, with a curling iron having a larger barrel, your hair will look that carefree. Then do not forget to add a light mousse to make it full and have those curls staying in place without the crunch.

Chic Blunt Bob with Soft Pink Hue

This rough bob has a traditional cut which is raised by a light and gentle touch of pastel pink. The hair worn is cut just below the chin being straight, sleek without any layers hence having a sophisticated, structured feel. This delicate shade of pink is the right amount of color to be added without taking over the natural beauty of the bob. It is the ideal type of style that a person wants to have a low-maintenance and smooth appearance that does not look shabby.

Such kind of style will require slightly extra care as far as keeping the color fresh is concerned. To prevent fading, I would give a suggestion of adding a color-enhancing conditioner to maintain the pink color. A heat protectant is also worth using, particularly when you prefer to use straighteners or blow-drying to create a bob-length cut. A frizz control serum will be used to maintain the sleekness.

I have always been a fan of blunt cuts as they can be so timeless, and the pink hue is something that is having fun and modern. To make it look more professional, your stylist may assist you to get that perfect pink tone without making it either too extreme or too subtle.

Soft Pink Pixie Cut with a Touch of Retro Charm

The stamp of this pixie is confident and lovely, courtesy of the sweet pastel pink that makes the style a reality. The hair is cut short with bangs framing the face and a top which is slightly longer in the top. The cut itself is soft and romantic with the light pink shade and at the same time edgy enough to appeal to a person who likes making bold decisions. It is a style that best suits a person who is in need of a big change something dramatic but comfortable.

To keep it healthy with this kind of short and vibrant cut, I would advise a routine of trimming every few weeks so that the pixie was always kept very sharp. In order to maintain the look of pink, apply a deep conditioning treatment to counter any drying effect of frequent styling. The wetter your hair the longer will be the color.

Within my experience, pixie cuts are a great solution to be able to stand out with minimal maintenance. I have noticed this type of pastel pink to be particularly nice in combination with fresh and clean makeup appearance. And in case you feel like changing it at some point, you can always go with blush pink or rose pink to give this look a warmer touch.

Soft Pink Ombre with Waves for a Modern Vibe

This ombré pink is also soft and can be played with but at the same time it is subtle. The hair is very rich and neutral brown at the roots and turns soft and pastel pink toward the ends. The waves create a beachy, carefree feel that is life full of energy, which provides this appearance with a cool, contemporary touch. It is an excellent haircut that allows the wearer to test the pink hair trend by dipping the toes but not all-over.

The soft ombré appearance needs some little maintenance to keep the pink in a fresh appearance. A shampoo with the ability to shield color is necessary to maintain the color and a nourishing mask once a week will make your hair soft and shiny. In order to maintain the appearance of the waves, spray a salt spray or texture spray to achieve that beachy look.

I adore the versatility of an ombré dress such as this. It is an easy way to add dusty pink to your outfit and when you are a brunette, it is a terrific choice that will not demand constant application. Besides, ombré is a great style with a large variety of hair styles: long waves, short bob, etc.

Soft Pink Curls with Fringe

A bright but carefree interpretation of the pink hair trend, this soft pink hair is a light but promising hairstyle in which the hair is voluminous and features soft curls that fall down in loose waves. The hair is dyed with light and pastel pink, which is harmonized with the soft touch of the curls. The fringe gives the style a weird twist and helps to frame the face as well as focus the eyes. Combined with a plain olive green t-shirt, such an outfit is easy to wear and rich in character. It is the type of hairstyle that can easily convert the casual days to night outings and can be free to explore your mood.

The maintenance of curly and pastel colored hair entails keeping it moist. A nourishing shampoo and conditioner will be desired such as Olaplex No. 4 and No. 5 that will ensure curls are held together and the soft pink color is retained. It is also prudent to apply a curl cream to keep your curls in shape and bouncy.

As an individual, I believe that this is a very playful and at the same time sophisticated method of rocking pink hair. Its fringe itself is a surprise twist that adds the outfit a bit of additional personality, and in case you are seeking a fun and carefree style, it may be perfect. Besides, the pastel pink is subtle enough to allow those who are not so confident about committing to something that is so bold.

Short Pink Bob with a Bold Contrast

This is a short and asymmetrical bob with a dramatic contrast between thick and deep pink roots and the pastel pink tips. The haircut is smooth and contemporary in form with a visible change in color giving it an outstanding appearance. The hairstyle feels edgy due to the straight and sharp lines of the bob, which are then palmed with the soft and cool end of the pastel pink colour as it fades off to a more dynamic effect closer to the tip. This is a fresh and trendy look because the emphasis is made on the colorful hair, and a casual gray sweat and minimalist style are used.

To achieve this daring appearance, I would recommend a color-safe shampoo that would aid in preserving the brightness of the pink colors, and a deep conditioner that would ensure that there would be no dryness caused by the color therapy. The better you conserve the color by keeping your hair intact, the longer will be the color without wearing out too soon.

I think this is a great bob as it can easily be styled by everyone who is willing to make a statement but at the same time wants to have a low-maintenance hair. The color contrast is also an exclusive touch and in case you prefer edgy appearance, this will certainly be something to be tried.

Romantic Pink Hair Updo with Elegant Accessories

It is a beautiful romantic hairstyle to wear all your pastel pink locks and have a touch of grace with the crystal shaped hairpins which is in the form of a heart. The hair is also loose and voluminous with soft curls pinned in place so that the pink color can shine through. The light pink color is the perfect mix of sweet and glamorous with the help of the sparkling accessories. The white top which has off the shoulder gives it a feminine touch and this makes the white top the ideal attire to be worn in a formal occasion or even in a date.

Speaking of the preservation of soft pastel colors such as this, it is all about the gentle attention. In order to prevent the fading of the pink, apply sulfate-free shampoo, and apply a moisturizing mask to your hair once a week to preserve the softness and moisture of your hair.

I completely like the mixture of the updo with such minor accessories; it boosts the pink color and makes the atmosphere more upscale. It is a wonderful choice because it provides you with the opportunity to wear something elegant and at the same time be on the pink trend.

Ombre Pink and Black with Soft Waves

This is a gorgeous ombre with deep dark black at the roots and soft pink on the tips to give a dramatic effect, but in a balanced manner. The hair is in soft waves and it makes it look relaxed and effortless which is a contrasting factor to the sharp transition of the color. There is a sense of depth with the dark roots and boldness and sophistication with the pink tips. The hairstyle is ideal with the plain black tank top hence it can be worn on any casual and night-out event.

In order to make this ombre appearance as maintained as possible it is necessary to have trims regularly to maintain the shape of the waves and ensure that the color does not fade. You will be interested in getting a thorough conditioning treatment to make your hair well and the pink bright as well.

This is one of my personal favorites of ombre style since with this type of style, one can play with color without necessarily being fully dedicated to one shade. The juxtaposition of the black roots and the pale pink ends is a one of a kind, and it is an ideal introduction of the pink hair world to a brunette.

Casual Pink Waves with Denim Vibes

This careless, to a little disheveled appearance is ideal to those individuals who would like to have pink hair casually but in a cool manner. The hair is cut in loose waves, with a darker shade at the roots and the ends of the playful pastel pink. The hair is also volumized by the loose waves, and the natural, light makeup is a perfect match with the casual denim jacket. This fashion is young, trendy, and suitable to a person who does not want to be too bold with his/her pink hair.

To preserve this natural and beachy appearance, I would apply a texture spray to make the waves look better and more voluminous. As well, it is necessary to apply a color protective spray to ensure that the pink does not fade fast, in particular, in the cases when you wash your hair frequently.

I believe that this style is so enjoyable as it is not the one that forces a person to invest in a neon pink but still gives an opportunity to enjoy the color. The pastel pink is not too bright to make people stare, yet, it is soft and can be worn in daily life.

Pink Ombre with Soft Waves

This appearance combines the two worlds in a bold color and at the same time soft and voluminous waves. The hair has deep pink roots that run progressively into a creamy and nearly white pink at the ends forming a gorgeous ombre effect. The gentle waves also introduce texture and motion and make the style alive and fresh. The manner in which the dark color runs to the light makes this style deep, and the waves make it careless in look and style. It is an ideal combination of the people who want to show their more bold side but with a more feminine touch.

In order to take care of the ombre styles, I suggest color-protecting shampoo to keep the pink color intact. However, a deep conditioning treatment may be used to ensure that your hair remains soft and smooth since in some cases, ombre color may make the hair dry, particularly at the light ends.

It is a confident style that is not too over the top. The dark roots form a natural foundation whereas the light pink ends make a wild and youthful contrast. As an individual, I believe that this pink ombre is excellent to a person who would enjoy the concept of a bold color but a softer transition.

Soft Pink Half-Up, Half-Down Look

This half-up half-down, half-down hairstyle is serene and elegant in the right amount of color. The pastel pink hair is plaited into loose waves, which makes it soft and flowing. The highest part is loosely twisted into a small half-up bun which is, in a way, playful and makes the style look younger. The light blue sweater is soft and muted in its pastel shade, which perfectly matches the serene light blue and makes this appearance so soothing and comfortable to wear at practically any occasion.

In the case of pastel pinks such as this, it is important to keep your hair moist. Maintaining the color will be done by using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and also makes your hair soft and smooth. In addition, a leave-in conditioner or a light styling gel will help to hold your waves in place without making them heavy.

This half-up is the best way to wear a hairstyle as it is practical and stylish. It is the best option of flaunting your color with minimal maintenance on the hairstyle. Besides, the pastel pink color is so universally flattering, and thus on those new to colored hair, one of the color choices that is perfect.

Blue and Pink Gradient Bob

Here is an interesting approach to the pink trend! This short bob has an incredible gradient that shifts to deep blue at the root of the hairstyle and soft and candy-floss pink at the ends. The bob is smooth with a straight shape and it is a modern sharp look which is very contrasting to the soft colors. The gradient color is well blended and the blue and pink colors can easily blend in together. The denim jacket is minimal, which gives this style an added cool and playful fun.

To sustain such a gradient, both colors have to be given keen consideration. Being color safe would mean using a shampoo that is safe in your hair so that both the blue and pink areas are vibrant. I would also recommend that one apply some leave-in conditioner or a detangler to help the hair remain soft and not to become tangled.

The pink to blue gradient is a very bold appearance. Personally, I am attracted by the combination of such opposite colors in this style and the fact that it is so cohesive. It suits any person who is in need of something that is out of the box, yet trendy.

Braided Pink Waves

This is a flirtatious braided hairstyle that adds some fun to the radiant pink hairstyle. The hair has been arranged in gentle waves and then two small braids on either side of the head have been brought together behind the head. The pink shade is vivid and deep and the ends of the hair reveal the bright pink shade. The appearance is a balance between an organized and carefree look, which is ideal for a person who wants a little more of an edgier appearance and at the same time likes the loose feel of waves.

The only thing about keeping your pink strands hydrated and healthy is this style. I would use a color protecting leave-in spray, but that would also assist in tangling the hair prior to braiding. Do not overwash it, and that will result in loss of color.

The best thing about this braided pink bra is that it is juvenile and fun yet it possesses a classy boho touch. This is the best solution in case you are a person who likes to combine texture and style at the same time, but you want to wear bright pink and have your hair adorable and sportive.

Deep Pink and Lavender Waves

This hairdo is an amalgamation of two of my favorite hair colors deep pink and lavender, forming an alluring gradient appearance. The hair is bended and swollen, the waves are styled loosely. The shade begins with a dark rich pink at the roots which is gradually blended into soft lavender at the tips. The richness of colors is very cozy and the lavender accents provide the appearance with a gentle and almost celestious touch. The outfit is a simple black top that leaves the focus on the hair really giving the colors to really shine.

A good color enhancing shampoo will be required to maintain these rich colors to appear fresh. I would recommend one that enhances vibrancy and also moisturises to make the hair soft. The color will remain strong and healthy by taking a fast treatment of deep conditioning treatment weekly.

It is a dramatic and beautiful show-stopping look. The deep pink and lavender blend is also very impressive and exudes the effect of depth and dimensionality. In case you would like to experiment with those colors, this ombre effect is a good option to make a bold and a very elegant statement.

Soft Pastel Pink Hairstyle

Such pastel pink appearance demonstrates a dreamy and almost whimsical look. The fine waves run smoothly upon the shoulders, the colour being fading away at the roots in a light blush, to stronger, more warm-blooded pink at the ends. To create the lob hairstyle, it is done in such a manner that makes it voluminous, and there is no movement, which makes the shade softer. The sheer of the white top is in contrast with the lighthearted color and forms a harmonious and easy appearance.

The trick with the pastel pink hair is that it should not be deprived of moisture when taking care of it. This can be found in sulfate-free conditioners and shampoos that shield the hair with color treatment, such as Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo. An effective color bettering medication every week will leave that pale, pastel shade refreshing.

This type of hairdo is ideal when you want to leave it on the low maintenance but still be fashionable. It is light, active summer, and springy. I am also personally fond of how this color is able to make your day brighter yet not overwhelming. When you consider having a pastel pink colour, you should only know it is a mild commitment. You won’t be disappointed!

Bold and Bright Pink with a Casual Edge

This picture depicts a bright pink hairstyle which is very bold and commanding. The bob is thick, and the waves are placed in a dishevelled way that reveals the bright shade. The pink color in this case is full and confident- this is the kind of color that leaves you with a sense of empowerment. The root shadow is minimal, but it provides more depth to the hair and the soft pink hues are youthful and playful. The black sweater of the model is also contrasted with the bright hair, and the vividness of the color is balanced with the easily stylish ambiance.

To wear such bright colors, make sure to keep your hair moist using deep conditioners since such colors have the tendency to dry the hair strands. To add more shine and have the pink look longer, a colour-locking serum like Pureology Colour Stylist Super Smooth is excellent to use.

This genre is about swag and flash. It would be an ideal fit since its wearer would require fewer hours to focus on his or her hair without having to spend as much time in the morning. The unkempt appearance makes it look carefree, I woke up like this and this is exactly my favorite when I want to look easy and stylish.

Light Pink with a Touch of Glamour

This is a more glamorous version of the pink hair trend, light-pink colors are combined into longer and flowing hair. A smooth finish and even ombre effect, in which the ends are shaded into a deeper blush, give a grace to this style. The black turtleneck in the model gives it a classy look and the mix of pink and her perfect make-up makes this hairstyle look stylish. The tiny ripples at the ends are also a texture, but will not spoil the smoothness.

In order to maintain this type of light pink, apply a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner. Redken Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo is used to seal in moisture and protect the color, add softness and shine. To achieve such a slick and shiny finish, you should also use a good smoothing serum like Kerastase Discipline Fluidissime Spray.

The style is to be worn in those occasions, when you wish to be sophisticated but a bit in the spirit of play. The light pink color is exquisite and the smoothness of the hairstyle speaks volumes. Personally, I like this appearance when going on a date or occasions where you want to be noticed but remain classy. It is a classy turn on a cool shade.

Vibrant Pink Meets Lavender for a Cool Trend

This pink hairstyle is bright and makes a twist to the cool with little lavender. The model is sleek and contemporary as the pink changes to lavender at the ends. The lavender added to this color combination creates a carefree, trendy feel with the audaciousness of pink being tamed by the light pink. A mix of the purple and pink color is ideal to an individual who might wish to try something new and different.

In order to sustain this color combination, apply a color-safe shampoo to sustain both pink and lavender color. A purple shampoo such as Fanola No Yellow Shampoo will be necessary in order to preserve those lavender hues and not turn them into more brassy.

It is a hairdo that can be used by people who are willing to stand out, but not that glamorous. The color combination is young, cool and ideal to people who desire to cut across a crowd. The juxtaposition of the pink and lavender is quite strong, yet light and playful.

Muted Pink with Subtle Ombre for Subtle Chic

The last glance is a softer pink tint, progressing to a little ombre of light and faded pink at the ends. The light pink blush also makes the hair look classy, but subtle enough to suit people who desire a touch of color, but do not want to be overdone. Strauss hair is very long and straight and the cozy green sweater of the model serves to give a slim look to the style, which is balanced and very comfortable.

Frequent trims and deep conditioning are necessary to have muted pink hair looking its best. An indulging masque such as Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask will assist in regaining the moisture, as well as maintaining your ends healthy and color.

This is a light pink with ombre, which is ideal to the person, who would like a change that is not so obvious, though it is also youthful in taste. Personally I think it is an excellent baiting to one who is new to pink hues. It provides the taste of the trend without a plunge into something bold.

Subtle Rose Pink Bob with a Fresh Twist

This rose pink bob is the perfect example of subdued glamour. With the smooth flow of the soft blush tones in the hair, it is cut to a sleek and straight cut with very thin layers allowing movement. The cuts are done above the eyebrows, and it looks modern and clean. The white and buttoned-up shirt of the model gives a taste of sophistication balancing the playfulness of the pastel pink hair. The outcome is a hairstyle that is both casual and professional, which means that it should be worn at different occasions.

To sustain this faint shade of rose pink, you will need some products which would maintain the color yet keep the hair healthy. It might be a good idea to use a color safe shampoo such as the Pureology Hydrate Shampoo which preserves both the moisture and the color. Deep conditioning once in awhile is also a requirement so that your locks can remain smooth and moist.

I also like the fact that this style is at the right playground between fun and sophistication. It is a low-profile but trendy appearance which I would completely rock both in casual and formal environment. Besides, the soft pink is so malleable; it is fresh but is not too obnoxious. It has a trendy look that is more sophisticated, and this is it in case you are in love with one.

Grey and Hot Pink Combo with Bold Impact

The following hairstyle consists of a bright combination of cool grey and hot pink. The hair is styled into an oblong shaped bob, the ends changing to a saturated bright pink that creates a great contrast with the dull grey mass. The hairstyle is of the edgy tone, soft and dramatic in choices of color. The shirt used in the model is neutral, and it creates a balance to the hair, which is vibrant and takes center stage in the model.

To maintain the pink color, it is essential to spend money on color safeguarding items such as Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo that will allow retaining the strength of the pink shade without making the grey fade away too fast. A leave-in conditioner that can be used to add moisture can also ensure that your hair remains smooth and frizz-free.

This combination of grey and hot pink is just right combination towards the person who wishes to portray his creativity and passion to wear bright colors. I believe that this appearance will appeal most to individuals who have no reservations about being noticed and would like to make a statement in their hair style. It is a fun, rough mixture, and frankly speaking, it causes me to want to do something like it!

Pretty in Pink and Lavender with a Playful Bob

Here we find a flirtatious bob in a beautiful blend of pink and lavender colors. The color flows in a smooth changing, soft pastel pink towards a lavender shade without any hard parts at the roots or tips. The color shape is made more perfect with the bob cut and the glasses worn by the model make everything look eccentrically intelligent. The natural, soft wave also makes things feel textured, as the entire style is energetic but sophisticated.

In order to preserve the pastel colours, a sulfate free shampoo such as L’Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Shampoo is a good option to preserve the colours without making the hair unhealthy. Excessive heat styling will also be avoided to preserve the integrity of the colour particularly the pink and lavender colour that is fragile.

I believe that this color combination is ideal as it is suitable to the person, who wants to play with pastel colors, nevertheless, desires some depth and richness. The pink and lavender blend so well with each other and the bob cut only adds more liveliness to the hair. I would most certainly wear this to a casual day out or any other event I want to have fun. It is childish yet refined.

Soft Pink Bob with a Pop of Colorful Vibes

This baby pink bob is the ideal juxtaposition between fresh and careless. The hair color is light pink with a tint of peach which seems summery and lively. The top is cut just above the shoulders and the ends are slightly textured which makes the style appear carefree. The jacket of the model is pink in pastel, which contributes to the playful aspect of the appearance, and the emphasis is made on the soft and delicate pink hair. This hairstyle is a scream of easy-going beauty with a bit of cheerfulness.

In order to maintain this soft pink in its finest condition, I would suggest the use of a color-protecting and lightweight conditioner such as Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner. It is fantastic to keep your hair soft and at the same time keep it nourished. Even a heat protector is necessary so that the hair does not fade or suffer styling damage.

It is a cool but carefree hairstyle that suits any person who likes the feel of waking up in a messy fashion. It is maintenance-free yet it is still charming. On a personal scale, I believe this would be an excellent option to a person who wants to get their feet wet in pink but without being too loud. It is very hinting, but it is interesting enough to be refreshing.

Muted Peachy Pink Bob with a Minimalist Touch

The last appearance is of a dulled peachy pink bob which is both simple and sophisticated in one look. It is a light, soft color with traces of peach turning into a light pink that is invigorating and soothing. The gentle look of the model and the sparse makeup are given in the defiant nature of the bob that is cut in such a manner that it increases the softness of the hair texture. The simple style of hair and styling will give this appearance a relaxed style of chic.

In case of such a muted peachy pink, it is important to use normal moisturizing and color protection. To keep the hair moist and yet maintain that fresh peachy pink look, I would suggest a deep conditioning order, like SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque. A hairspray that is light is also going to keep the shape of the bob without heavy coating on the hair.
