The Craze Behind and Pink Hair
You might assume brown and pink hair is a new trend, but it’s not! According to Google Trends, the number of people searching for brown and pink hair started to increase around 2011 (same as brown and green hair!).
Choosing the Perfect Blend of Brown and Pink
Selecting the right shades for brown and pink hair is crucial. Here's what you need to consider:
Brown Shades: From deep chocolate to warm caramel tones, brown offers a wide array of hues.
For fair skin, go with a cooler shade like chestnut.
For warmer or darker skin tones, go with a caramel shade of brown.
Pink Shades: There are so many shades of pink to choose from, from soft pastels like blush and rose to vibrant colors like magenta.
If you have fair skin or a softer look, you may want to go with a lighter shade of pink.
For darker skin or a bold look, you may want to go with a more vibrant shade of pink.

DIY vs. Professional Hair Coloring: Which is Right for Brown and Pink Hair?
If you have brown hair, it can be a bit tricky to make the pink hair color show up. Therefore, you’ll likely need to bleach your hair first, and then apply the pink hair color. Due to this, I highly recommend you go to a salon if you want brown and pink hair.
However, it’s super easy to experiment with brown and pink hair.

How to Care for Color Treated Brown and Pink Hair
Once you have your gorgeous brown and pink hair, you’ll want to keep your hair looking it’s best!
Below are a few tips for color-treated hair.
1. Don’t Wash Your Hair for Two Days
After you’ve colored your hair, the first thing to do is to NOT wash it for two days.
2. Choose the Right Shampoo
Look for shampoos that say they are specifically for color treated hair. I personally love the L’Oreal Sulfate Free color-safe shampoos because they smell amazing and are affordable too!
3. Wash Your Hair Less
If you can stand it, try to wash your hair every other day vs. every day. This will make your brown and pink hair color last longer, and protect your hair too!
4. Apply a Weekly Hair Mask
A hair mask can do wonders for color-treated hair! It’s expensive, but I swear by Olaplex No. 3 Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment. It’s AMAZING!!

5. Protect Your Hair in the Sun
Did you know that the sun can dull gorgeous hair color? If you are going to be out in the sun a lot, wear a hat (which you should do anyway to protect your skin!). If need be, try a hair protectant spray for the sun- like the Wella Professionals Invigo Hair Color Protection Spray.
6. Get Regular Hair Trims
To prevent split ends and to keep your hair looking its best, opt for regular trims. I suggest every 6-8 weeks to keep your hair looking its best.
7. Use a Heat Protectant
Try to stay away from hair dryers and curling irons as much as possible. That heat can damage your hair! If you are going to style your hair, use a heat protectant. I like the L’Oreal Elvive Dream Lengths Heat Slayer Pre-Iron Spray Leave-In. It’s affordable and it’s a great heat protectant for your hair!
