AF Blog — Virgin Pink

Pink hair is a total vibe, but when you're ready for a change, we've got good news – pink is actually one of the easier vivid shades to remove! 

Whether you're prepping for a new hair color adventure or just need a break, here's your guide to fading pink hair color.

How to Remove Different Types of Hair Dye

Before we dive into hair color removal, let's break down the dye diversity and how to kick each type to the curb! Understanding your specific hair color commitment level is key to saying "thank u, next" to that shade you're over.

How to Remove Permanent Hair Dye

Permanent color is the ride-or-die bestie that doesn't know when to leave! Since it penetrates deep into your hair shaft, it's definitely the toughest to remove. Our best advice? Chat with a pro stylist who can create a custom exit strategy with minimal damage. But if you're in DIY desperation mode, try washing with warm water and clarifying shampoo or whip up a vitamin C hair mask to gradually fade that stubborn shade.

How to Remove Semi-Permanent Hair Dye

Semi-permanent dye gives you that long-lasting color relationship without the hardcore commitment! This dye only coats your hair shaft instead of moving in permanently, making it your easier-going color option. Ready to break up? You've got options! Try a vitamin C mask for gentle fading, up your washing game with clarifying shampoo and warm water, or go for a bleach bath if you're feeling bold.

How to Remove Temporary Hair Dye

Temporary dye is basically the color fling of hair products! This no-strings-attached option washes out super easily. Just step up your shower routine with warm water and clarifying shampoo, or take a dip in the pool or ocean—that chlorine or salt water will have your color saying "bye, Felicia" in no time!

Hair Type Considerations

Let's talk about hair types, bestie! When it comes to color removal, your strands' natural texture will completely impact how you should approach the process. Not all textures play by the same rules, from straight hair to curly, each hair type needs its own special brand of TLC.

Straight Hair 

Straight hair tends to withstand damage more than the rest of the bunch! However, a lot of straight hair babes tend to have fine, thin strands which can be a challenge of its own. This resilient texture can usually handle the more intense color removal methods like bleach baths without throwing a major tantrum.

Wavy Hair

Wavy babes, you're in the middle ground! Your gorgeous texture has decent resilience but still needs a bit more care than your straight-haired friends. Vitamin C hair masks can be your BFF for color removal, it's effective without being too harsh on your waves.

Curly Hair

Curl squad, listen up! Your beautiful spirals need extra love during color removal. Going too aggressive can mess with your precious curl pattern (and nobody wants that drama!). Keep it gentle with more frequent warm water washes using clarifying shampoo, your curls will thank you for the soft approach!

Easy Ways to Fade Your Pink Hair Color

Wash, Rinse, Repeat!

Frosé fading

Turn up the heat (literally!) by washing your hair more frequently with warm water and a clarifying shampoo. 

The warmer water opens up those hair cuticles, helping the pink pigment release faster. A couple of extra washes a week can make a HUGE difference!

DIY Vitamin C Magic

Vi fading

Mix crushed vitamin C tablets with your shampoo for a super-effective fading treatment! This gentle acidic mixture helps break down those semi-permanent hair color molecules without the damage of harsh chemicals. 

For best results: After applying, wrap your hair in a shower cap and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly and following with a deep conditioner or hair mask.

Take a Dip!

Electric Paradise fading

Planning a pool day? Your chlorinated or saltwater swim session can help fade your pink hair color! Just remember to use our Money Hunny Hair Repair Serum afterward to keep your locks healthy and hydrated!

Last Resort: Bleach Bath 

Virgin Pink fading

For a more dramatic fade, try a gentle bleach bath. Mix a small amount of Arctic Fox White Powder Bleach with shampoo and a splash of developer for a milder, more controlled color removal. 

This diluted mixture is less harsh than straight bleach but still effective at lifting that pink pigment. For best results: Consult with our color specialists for personalized help and perform a strand test first!
