Pink – The “Practical” Party Hair Colour

It’s a crazy shade, only lasts a week, and you need to bleach your hair for it. But because it’s so crazy, it’s also a whole lot of fun. And when the pink fades, it turns into beautiful blonde highlights. See how these five women rock the colour.

It’s a crazy shade, only lasts a week, and you need to bleach your hair for it. But because it’s so crazy, it’s also a whole lot of fun. And when the pink fades, it turns into beautiful blonde highlights. See how these five women rock the colour.

1. @salonvim – add fuchsia streaks if you want some pink on dark hair.

2. @instahairloom – a definitive cut makes pale-pink hair edgy.

3. @karlko – coral pairs well with pink too.

4. @rachelsaw – no need to bleach all over for pink on reddish-brown hair.

5. @blowplusbar – pink adds more texture to lightcoloured hair.

A TOUCH OF COLOURED EYELASH EXTENSIONS

They’re unexpected. They make your eyes prettier. And they’ll last through party season. Add them to the outer eye corners or in between lashes. Just don’t add too many to one area; the effect should be subtle. If you have fine or sparse lashes, ask for black lash extensions to set a fuller base first. Not sure how many coloured lashes to ask for? A good lash specialist will be able to advise you.

Where to go:
