Pastel hair is the perfect balance of pretty and punk, and there’s a perfect shade for everyone. And because you’re embracing the natural fading of your color, you’ll save the time, money, and stress you would have spent trying to maintain a bright color. Today’s roundup is dedicated to beautiful pastel blue hair and some tips to achieve such a look.

Bleach

When dyeing your hair some colors, you can get away with starting with unbleached hair, but you can’t when using pastel colors. To achieve the light, pure look you want, you must strip out all existing hair color. The only way to do this is with bleach. Bleaching is by far the most difficult part of the process. If you have any doubts at all, see a professional! They can tell you what is possible for your hair and get you to the lightest shade possible with minimal damage. If your hair is already chemically processed, colored, or damaged in any way, I strongly recommend that you visit a hairstylist for this step.

Tone

No matter how much you bleach, you’re going to be left with some yellow or orange tones in your hair. Toning your hair is a way to balance these tones out. There are products just for this purpose, but you can save money by making your own, especially if you already have purple or blue and pink vegetable dye on hand.

Dye

First, pick your dye. Take out your white conditioner and mix in a few drops of dye until you get the color you want. Aim for one shade brighter than the result you want. Make sure you mix up enough dye to saturate your head completely. Apply the dye to dry hair, combing through until every strand is covered and you see some white foam. Wrap your head up again and leave it in as long as you can. Again, overnight is recommended. Blasting your hair with heat intermittently helps here as well. Unwrap, rinse in cold water, and condition.

Care For Your Color

Cool water, gentle shampoo, and deep conditioning are the key to preserving hair color. Revitalize your color every time you shower by mixing a drop of color in with your conditioner! If your color came out too bright, rinse in hot water or scrub with dandruff shampoo until you get the shade you want. Get inspired to rock beautiful blue shades!
