Pink hair is a vibe all on its own, but it's the hairstyle that takes it to the next level! Whether you're rocking cotton candy pastels or bold magenta, the right cut and style can transform your pink locks from pretty to absolutely iconic. 

Ready to serve looks that'll have everyone asking for your hair care secrets? Let's dive into the pink hair styles that are about to become your new obsession.

Pink Hair Pigtails: Y2K Princess Energy

@Gemvonschweetz in Electric Paradise, Frosé, Virgin Pink, Cosmic Sunshine, and Sunset Orange

Nothing says "I'm cute and I know it" like pink hair pigtails! This playful style brings major nostalgic vibes while keeping your hair out of your face. 

Perfect for festival season, casual hangouts, or when you want to channel your inner pop star.

Start with clean, brushed hair and part it down the middle using hair clips (or in a zig-zag to add extra personality). 

Gather each section at ear level or slightly higher, depending on your vibe. Secure with cute elastics like cute scrunchies, colorful hair ties, or even some sparkly accessories to match your pink aesthetic. 

For extra texture, add some loose waves before styling.

Pigtails with pink hair scream confidence mixed with playfulness. You're giving off major "I don't take myself too seriously, but I'm still serving looks" energy. It's the perfect style for anyone who wants to feel youthful and fun while making a statement.

Pink Hair Claw Clip Updo: Effortless Chic

@Sammchristy in Diluted Virgin Pink

The claw clip updo is the ultimate "I woke up like this" hairstyle that somehow looks intentionally gorgeous. With pink hair, this messy-but-make-it-fashion look becomes an instant conversation starter. 

It's casual enough for coffee dates but elevated enough for dinner out.

Flip your head upside down and gather your hair loosely at the crown of your head. 

Don't worry about making it perfect – the messier, the better! Twist the hair slightly and secure with a large claw clip. Let some face-framing pieces fall naturally, and don't stress about flyaways. 

They add to the effortless charm. Pro tip: A little dry shampoo beforehand gives you that perfect "lived-in" texture.

This style says "I'm low-maintenance but high-fashion." You're giving off major cool girl energy, someone who looks put-together without trying too hard. Perfect for those days when you want to look cute but also need your hair out of your face.

Pink Hair Bob: Timeless with a Twist

@Skylastormx in Virgin Pink

A pink bob hairstyle is the perfect marriage of classic and edgy. Whether you go for a blunt cut, textured layers, or an angled asymmetrical bob, the pink color transforms this timeless cut into something completely modern and fresh.

This one's all about the cut, so you'll want to trust a professional stylist with your vision. Bring reference photos and discuss whether you want a chin-length bob, a lob (long bob), or something in between. 

The key is finding the right length for your face shape. For styling, use a hair serum and round brush while blow-drying for smooth, sleek looks, or add dry shampoo for lived-in vibes.

A pink bob hairstyle screams sophisticated rebel. You're showing the world that you can be polished and edgy at the same time. It's perfect for anyone who wants to make a statement in the boardroom or at brunch; this style works everywhere and commands attention.

Pink Hair Space Buns: Galactic Goddess

@die4whitney in Transylvania and Virgin Pink

Space buns are the ultimate festival hair, but with pink hair, they become otherworldly. 

This style is all about fun, creativity, and not being afraid to stand out. It's Instagram-ready and perfect for anyone who wants to embrace their inner alien princess.

Part your hair down the middle using hair clips and create two high ponytails at the very top of your head. Twist each ponytail and wrap it around the base to create buns, securing with bobby pins. 

Leave some pieces loose for a softer look, or go full alien babe with tight, perfect buns. Add some hair glitter or fun accessories to take it to the next level.

Space buns with pink hair are pure main character energy. You're fun, fearless, and totally unapologetic about taking up space. 

This style is perfect for music festivals, themed parties, or any time you want to feel like you're from another planet (in the best way possible).

Pink Curly Hairstyle: Romantic Rebel

@Derekkildall in Virgin Pink

Pink curls are absolutely magical; they add dimension, movement, and serious fairy tale vibes to your look. Whether you have natural curls or create them with tools, pink curly hair is romantic with an edge.

If you have natural curls, embrace them with a good curl cream and diffuser. For straight hair, use a curling iron or hot rollers to create bouncy curls, then gently finger-comb them for a softer look. 

The key is not to make them too uniform; varying curl sizes look more natural and interesting. Finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep everything in place without making it crunchy.

Pink curls give off romantic rebel energy. You're soft and dreamy but with an undeniable edge. This style works for date nights, photo shoots, or any time you want to feel like a fairy tale character who definitely has her own motorcycle.

Okay, let's talk about red hair highlights for a sec, they're literally the hair equivalent of that perfect filter that makes everything look better. We've been obsessed with this timeless technique forever, and for good reason! Highlights add dimension, brightness, and that effortless "I woke up like this" vibe that we're all chasing. Now, you might be thinking highlights are strictly a salon thing, but plot twist: you can totally achieve magazine-worthy results right from your bathroom (yes, really!).

And as if we couldn't already love this hair coloring technique enough, here comes red highlights to make our jaws drop even more. We're talking about that perfect pop of warmth that can transform your entire look from basic to absolutely stunning.

In this blog, we're going to break down different types of highlights, show you exactly how to achieve them at home, and spill all the tea on the best color pairings for red hair highlights. Trust us, your hair game is about to level up.

Different Types of Highlights

Classic Highlights

Classic highlights are all about brightening your overall look, adding lightness and dimension, and creating that gorgeous sun-kissed effect, and what better shade to do that than red? This is the perfect look for anyone who wants to add some spice in a more subtle and timeless way. Think effortlessly chic with just the right amount of drama.

How to get the look at home:

1. Use hair clips to section out the pieces of hair that you want to be colorful. Pro tip: Weave in and out while sectioning so you're dyeing different layers and adding extra dimension – this is what separates amateur hour from professional-looking results!

2. Use brushes to evenly dye the sections with your desired shade of red. Bright cherry, dark maroon, or fiery red with a hint of orange are a few of our favorite choices! Pro tip: Wear a designated dye shirt, apply petroleum jelly around your hairline, and wear protective gloves to prevent staining (trust us on this one – red dye has a mind of its own).

3. Leave it in for at least 30 minutes (but longer saturation time doesn't hurt!). For the best results, cover your hair with a plastic cap and use heat or blow dry for up to 15 minutes.

4. Rinse your hair in cold water until it runs as close to clear as possible.

5. Style as desired, pose for a picture, and share your new look with us!

Chunky Highlights

Ready to make a statement? Chunky red hair highlights add bold contrast with a serious pop of color. This look was super popular in the Y2K era and gives off fun, youthful, and rebellious energy that we're absolutely here for. This is also a great look for anyone who's more low-maintenance since it's easy to keep up with – win-win!

How to get the look at home:

1. Use hair clips to section out large chunks of hair that you want to pop! Pro tip: Lighten your highlight sections with bleach before going in with red for extra vibrancy – this step is a total game-changer for getting that intense color payoff.

2. Use brushes to evenly dye the sections with your desired shade of red. Bright cherry, dark maroon, or fiery red with a hint of orange are a few of our favorite choices! Pro tip: Wear a designated dye shirt, apply petroleum jelly around your hairline, and wear protective gloves to prevent staining.

3. Leave it in for at least 30 minutes (but longer saturation time doesn't hurt!). For the best results, cover your hair with a plastic cap and use heat or blow dry for up to 15 minutes.

4. Rinse your hair in cold water until it runs as close to clear as possible.

Color Pairings That Actually Work

Natural Hair Color

This is the most common and foolproof approach since all you have to deal with is one shade and leave the rest of your hair virgin. Whether you're brunette, blonde, or already rocking some natural red tones, red hair highlights blend beautifully with your base color for a look that's striking but never overwhelming.

@colored_byvee used Wrath and Poison

Vivid Hair Colors

Here's where things get really fun! Analogous shades (colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel) are the best choice when experimenting with blending vivid colors because if bleeding occurs, they won't turn muddy. With color theory in mind, some of our favorite vivid options to go with red highlights are pink, purple, orange, and yellow. These combinations create that rainbow effect that's perfect for anyone ready to fully embrace their colorful hair era.

Not necessarily! As long as you mix red hair highlights with your natural hair color or shades that go well with them, like pink or orange, you won't have to worry about bleeding and muddiness. Wash your hair with cold water and color-safe shampoo and conditioner to easily maintain your red highlights.

Do red highlights need bleach?

Yes, depending on your desired outcome and how vivid you want your red highlights to be, you will need to bleach first. We always recommend performing a strand test first to ensure you get your expected color!

Ready to Transform Your Look?

There you have it – everything you need to know about creating gorgeous red hair highlights that'll have everyone asking where you got your hair done! Whether you're going for subtle classic highlights or bold chunky statements, red is always a mood and never a mistake.

Blue plays well with almost everything, but our favorites are purple hair color for galaxy vibes, pink for that cotton candy aesthetic, and green hair color for full mermaid energy.

Ready to jump on the olive green hair trend that we’ve been seeing EVERYWHERE? This unique shade hits different. What we love about olive green is how it brings that effortlessly cool vibe while still feeling fresh and unexpected. 

This rich, earthy tone works year-round and honestly looks good on anyone with confidence. 

Stick around as we break down exactly how to get this head-turning color at home using Arctic Fox's vegan, cruelty-free semi-permanent dyes – your bathroom is about to become your personal salon!

What You'll Need for Your Color Transformation

Ready to make the switch to olive green? Here's what to gather:

• Arctic Fox Bleach Please Kit

• Mixing bowls and application brushes

• Gloves to protect your hands

• Alligator clips for sectioning

• Shower cap

• Arctic Fox’s Neon Moon hair dye

• Arctic Fox’s Iris Green hair dye

• Arctic Fox’s Phantom Green hair dye

• Color-safe shampoo and conditioner

Step 1: Prep with Bleach Please

Let's be real – this look is only achievable on pre-lightened hair. Arctic Fox's Bleach Please kit makes lightening your hair easier and less damaging than traditional bleach. Check out our detailed bleaching guide for all the do's and don'ts, or connect with our color specialists through our chat feature if you need personalized advice.

For the most vibrant olive green results, aim for a level 8-10 blonde base. The lighter your starting point, the truer your green will appear.

Step 2: Mix Your Perfect Olive Shade

Time to create your custom color. For a balanced olive green hair color, mix:

• 45% Neon Moon

• 30% Iris Green

• 25% Phantom Green

Pro tip: Always do a strand test first, especially when mixing colors. This ensures your olive green turns out exactly as intended and gives you the chance to adjust the ratio if needed.

Want to customize? For a deeper forest olive, add more Phantom Green. For something brighter with more pop, increase the Neon Moon percentage.

Step 3: Apply with Precision

Once you've perfected your olive green mix, section your hair with alligator clips and apply thoroughly for even coverage. 

Start from the back and work your way forward, making sure each strand is completely saturated.

Cover with a shower cap and let the color process for at least 30-40 minutes. 

Arctic Fox's semi-permanent hair dyes contain no harsh chemicals, so you can leave the color on longer for more intensity. 

Use this time to catch up on your favorite show or tackle some tasks around the house. Some dedicated color enthusiasts even let it process overnight for maximum color payoff!

Step 4: Lock In Your Color

When it's time to rinse, use cold water and color-safe products. 

Cold water helps close the hair cuticle, locking in color and preventing unnecessary fading.

For color longevity, wash your hair less frequently and always use color-safe shampoo and conditioner. 

Each wash will release some color, so minimize washing with dry shampoo to keep your olive green looking fresh longer.

Step 5: Style Your New Look

Now it's time to show off your new color. Arctic Fox's Money Hunny Hair Serum works perfectly for a sleek, polished finish that highlights your new shade.

Pro tip: Always apply heat protectant before using hot tools. Heat styling can accelerate color fade, so protecting your strands helps maintain that perfect olive green.

How to Maintain Your Olive Green Hair

The key to keeping your olive green hair looking fresh? A solid maintenance routine. Green tones are notorious for fading faster than other colors, but with the right care, you can extend your color's life significantly.

Preserve Color Vibrancy Without Drying Out Your Hair

• Wait 48-72 hours before first wash to allow color to fully set into hair cuticles

• Rinse with cold water only when possible to prevent color bleeding

• Use dry shampoo between washes – try Arctic Fox Road Trip Dry Shampoo to absorb oil without stripping color

• Add a few drops of your dye mix to conditioner for a color refresh during each wash

• Apply a UV protectant when going outdoors – sun exposure is the #1 cause of premature fading

Weekly & Monthly Hair Care Schedule for Olive Green Hair

Weekly Maintenance:

• Days 1-3: Style as usual, avoid washing

• Day 4: Cold rinse only (no shampoo) + color-safe conditioner

• Day 5: Dry shampoo refresh

• Day 6: Color-safe shampoo + deep conditioning treatment

• Day 7: Apply DIY color-depositing mask to refresh green tones

Monthly Maintenance:

• Week 1: Regular color-safe hair care routine

• Week 2: Hair mask to strengthen bleached hair

• Week 3: Regular color-safe hair care routine

• Week 4: Touch-up roots if needed with bleach + full color refresh

Color-Safe Products That Actually Work

• Daily Hydration: Money Hunny Hair Serum hydrates locks while also keeping flyaways at bay, leaving your hair silky soft and smooth.

• Wash Day Essential: Arctic Fox Color-Safe Shampoo is sulfate-free and pH-balanced specifically for vivid colors

• Between Washes: Road Trip Dry Shampoo absorbs oil without the lingering white residue that can dull your olive green

• Weekly Treatment: 

• Monthly Boost: Deep conditioning mask with added Arctic Fox color (just mix a tablespoon of your olive green formula into your favorite conditioner)

Remember that water is both friend and foe to colored hair. While hydration is essential, each wash removes some pigment. Finding the right balance is key to maintaining that head-turning olive green for weeks longer than the average color job.

Olive Green Hair FAQs

Can you get olive green hair color without bleach? 

On naturally blonde or very light hair, you might see some results. However, for a true olive green dimension, pre-lightening with bleach is recommended. Dark hair will only show a subtle green tint without bleaching first.

What skin tone looks best with olive green hair? 

Olive green is remarkably versatile. Warmer olive tones complement golden and warm skin tones, while cooler olive shades pop against fair and cool skin tones. Thanks to its neutral undertones, olive green works well across the spectrum.

What does olive green symbolize? 

Olive green represents peace, harmony with nature, and subtle sophistication. It's the perfect balance between standing out and staying grounded. Olive green hair color lets you be expressive without trying too hard.
