Pastel hair colors are a FUN way to change up your look – in spring to match the flowers, in summer to match your swimsuit, in fall to match the leaves, and in winter to complement your favorite winter coat! Want to know how to get pastel hair? You have tons of options, and here are twenty of our favorite ones right here! Fashion trends always reoccur with slight updates to make things look fresh. We have actively worn pastel colors in clothes, and now pastels have come to graze our locks. The best thing about any trend is the possibility to personalize it according to your taste. You may keep your natural hair color and get some complementing pastel highlights or go for funky pastel rainbow hair. There are numerous pastel-inspired hair color ideas below!
1. Lilac Bob with Peek-A-Boo Highlights
Blonde hair is a great canvas for all hair colors, especially pastels. This bob has purples and blues peeking out from under the silvery over layer. Match with darker colors in your outfit to bring out the subtle shades, and count on impressing all your friends!
2. Pastel Grapefruit Waves
This pale orange, which reminds us of sherbert, is a fun way to liven up darker blonde hair. Pastel hair is so much fun, and these almost yummy looking curls bring to mind warm summer afternoons outside with a sweet treat! Wear brighter colors, and be a shining star!
3. Just a Peek of Pastel Pink
Following the latest trend, there are usually less permanent iterations, including the more subtle one color streak on one side, a sort of racing stripes. Chunky, light pink highlights stand out against pale platinum hair so well!
4. Mermaid Hair with Purple Balayage
This style for long hair has a great purple accent, creating a glow around the base of the curls. Brown hair helps the purple to really pop when shown off. This elegant look can be worn with a flowing gown to conjure up images of a mermaid swimming in the ocean.
5. Textured Pastel Pink Hair
Pink hair is not everyone’s dream color, but we love this all over pink hair dye! Lighter natural colors work better with this shade, but if your colorist truly has skills, no matter what base color, you will get your results!
6. Lavender and Pink Curly Hair
A feminine swirl of pink and purple hair will make you feel like a princess every day. The lighter shades of rose and lavender flow together seamlessly. Show off the slight variation in color with large loose curls.
7. Metallic Toned Bob
Pastel hair doesn’t always mean bright colors. For a moody and ultra chic look, go with a mix of silver and copper. Warm and cool toned metallics can be blended, so don’t be afraid to be creative.
8. Pastel Rainbow Hair
You could make Rainbow Bright jealous with such a fabulous array of colors. Notice how the pink generously saturates the roots and gradually fades into lighter shades towards the tips, allowing the additional colors to fall in seamlessly.
9. Pastel Colored Undercut
To incorporate some pastels while keeping your look edgy, try adding thick chunky highlights on top of your base color. Go with a cut that allows a variety in your styling, such as this undercut with a shave on one side. The colors look great when combed over in a layered look.
10. Purple Ombre Hair Color
Want purple pastel hair, but can’t decide on the shade? Ombre may be your solution! Use a dark plum color for the roots and gradually work your way through the lighter hues to a pale lilac on the very ends.
