Pastel hair colours: 13 mesmerizing looks to convince you to try the shade
These pastel hair colours are almost too pretty to handle!
If is isn’t obvious to you already, we at All Things Hair are pretty obsessed with pastel hair colours. Day after day we swoon over gorgeous images of pastel hues and, well, we just can’t get enough of them!
Pastel shades have always been somewhat popular, however, recently we have seen more and more people jumping on board the fun and quirky trend. Especially good for summer, pastel hair colours are the only look you’ll need to rock for the whole year.
13 pretty pastel hair colours to inspire your next look
1. Cotton candy
Cotton candy pink is super pretty and perfect for ladies with naturally light hair. This hair hue has been spotted both at Milan Fashion Week for the No.21 catwalk show and on hair chameleon Rita Ora, so you know it’s a style worth trying! Credit: @lorietherrien
2. Golden pink
This golden pink hue is as rich as it is gorgeous. Keeping the roots vibrant, this Instagrammer has then opted for an icy-ends finish, with the tones seamlessly melting together. Pretty cool, right?! Credit: @lorietherrien
3. Rose gold
Anything rose gold has pretty much been trending over the last year (makeup, home accessories and even our iPhones have been given a precious-pink update), so of course we had to include a rose gold hue.

Editor’s tip: If you’re thinking of dyeing your tresses to one of these stunning pastel hair colours, remember to switch your current wash and care system to one formulated especially for coloured tresses. We particularly love the TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Shampoo and Conditioner, which will help to maintain your hue’s vibrancy.
