Why Pink Is THE Lockdown Hair Trend…

We’ve seen pink hair on the likes of Kate Hudson, Hailey Bieber, Fearne Cotton, Dua Lipa and Madonna who all gave themselves pastel pink makeovers to brighten up their locks, and now it seems pink is THE lockdown hair trend of the moment, with influencers everywhere opting to dye their hair funky pink, peach or rose tones. 

It’s no surprise that pink is the latest hair funky trend we’re seeing everywhere particularly during lockdowns. It’s a bright, eye catching colour that is likely to brighten up your mood, not just your hair and will help see you through until your next appointment in the salon. 

‘What’s great about pink is that you don’t have to commit as there are many ‘wash out’ semi-permanent options, so during a time when we are all restricted in so many ways, it’s a great time to be daring and experiment with a vibrant colour like pink!’ Says Josh Kelly, Founder of Hair Choice Extensions.

Katie Allan, Founder of MAYFIVE Hair says: ‘Following the last lockdown I’ve noticed more clients have been open to change, and this continues into 2021. Most of the colours required, such as a pink, are achieved with using toners. My top tip for maintaining the longevity of these colours is to use sulphate free shampoo. There are many shampoos available that are specific to certain hair colours to help add a glow and maintain your desired shade.  My main tip that many people often forget, is to rinse hair in cool water rather than piping hot or warm water. Warm water will open the cuticle and let colour molecules escape!’
