Black and pink hair is a very popular trend, followed not only by young representatives of subcultures of both sexes, but also by adult women. This color scheme allows you to create a stylish, but at the same time discreet look. Photos of celebrities and ordinary girls from Instagram are the best confirmation of this.
Who is black and pink for?
Black and pink hair suits a lot more people than people think. It is only important to choose the right shades.
By age
Emphasized unnatural shades on women after 45 look like outright kitsch. Bold colors will only accentuate age and wrinkles, instead of returning the look to its former youth. Refined, the lightest ash and pearl pink shades are considered an acceptable exception to the rule.
And although they are recommended to avoid a contrasting combination of black and pink, it is best to consult with a stylist, since a combination of the right techniques and shades that match the color type and appearance features sometimes gives a wonderful stylish and rejuvenating effect.
By color type of appearance
Black and pink hair is well suited to the cold summer and winter color types. It looks especially good for young guys and girls of the Winter color type. For them, their natural hair color is often black. Naturally, a provocative combination of black and pink shades will suit them.
This is clearly evidenced by photos on the Internet, where girls with fair skin and dark eyes look most impressive.
It is not recommended to dye their hair black and pink for people of the Spring and Summer color type. With them, the soft, dull appearance of Spring will look even paler and even somewhat painful. It is not always advantageous that they set off the light, often freckled skin of the Summer color type.
Black and pink staining techniques
Black and pink hair (photo examples clearly demonstrate the difference between the techniques) can be dyed using several techniques that allow you to achieve different effects.
There are many techniques for dyeing hair in black and pink, but the following are especially popular:
| Highlighting | Coloring | Ombre | Balayazh |
| Only individual strands are painted pink | Strands are dyed in several close or contrasting pink shades | Hair is dyed along the entire length with a gradual transition to another color, but the color change occurs at approximately the same level | Using the gradient technique, individual strands are colored from the roots, which creates the effect of highlights in the hair. |
It is easiest to dye individual strands in pink at home using the highlighting technique or just the ends of the hair. In the latter case, professionals advise to tie the hair in several tails and comb them well at the base before bleaching. This will help to avoid getting oxygen to the hair roots and scalp.

What to do if you don't like the result
Even taking into account age, color type and color matching, it is difficult to predict whether the results of an experiment will be successful. And even if you manage to achieve the desired shade, there are no guarantees that you will not want to give up too radical a change in the image.
First of all, it should be remembered that the color, even the most persistent, does not paint over the entire hair at once. This takes time, which means you can still try to wash the paint.
To do this, you can use a special hair dye remover. It should be remembered that this remedy is quite aggressive, so it must be used carefully, remembering the safety rules and in no case should it be left on the hair longer than the time specified in the instructions.
If it is not there, you can use the tools at hand: mix 1 part of baking soda and 1 part of shampoo and thoroughly wash your head with this mixture several times. Alternatively, you can try replacing the product with anti-dandruff shampoo. Instead of a commercial paint stripper, you can make homemade paint.
Natural products used in masks to remove hair dye:
- lemon;
- kefir;
- yogurt;
- soda;
- honey
- olive or sunflower oil.
The easiest way is to apply honey to your hair at night, wrap your head with plastic and a towel and rinse in the morning. A kefir mask gives a good result. In 1 liter of fatty kefir, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and salt, mix.
The mixture is applied to dry hair, wrapped in polyethylene, left for an hour, washed off with warm water and shampoo, and then the procedure is repeated. If it was not possible to wash off or reduce the saturation of the paint, you will have to solve the issue radically - to repaint your hair.
In the case of a pink tint, you can tone down the red pigment with an ash blonde. Or go from the opposite - darken the curls with a homemade hair mask. To do this, 1 part of natural yogurt is mixed with 1 part of coffee, cocoa or black long tea and applied to the hair.
To enhance the effect of sweeping, you can wrap your hair in plastic and tie a terry towel over it. The procedure should be repeated several times. Photos of celebrities with pink colored hair have flooded the internet lately, as it is one of the youth trends.
Even Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams shocked the audience with pink strands and a black leather jacket. But before deciding on a bold experiment, you should consult with a stylist or use balms and tonics to make sure that the new image does not cause discomfort and is in harmony with the color type of the appearance and the chosen image.
