To say it’s been a big month for pink hair would be an understatement. If you thought this season’s influx of grey tresses left little room for candyfloss hues, think again, because the catwalk and celebrity Instagram feeds are breathing fresh life into the trend.
It’s good news for us; we’re pretty partial to a pop of pink on the festival circuit and – should we borrow Devon Windsor’s technique – it could mean the end of dark roots. Well, sort of.
The model shared a throwback selfie from Maxine Simeons’ SS15 show this week, revealing a splash of bubblegum pink along her centre parting. Hairstylist Laurent Phillippon created the look by painting on pigments, but we recommend misting Bumble and Bumble’s Spraychalk in Blush, £15, for a wash-out tint that sets in seconds.
Pink was popping up on the Resort 2016 runway, too, with Fernanda Hin Lin Ly championing pretty, Pepto-tinted strands at Louis Vuitton.
Light hair? You’re in luck; it’s so simple to replicate her faded tint with the supermarket's spectrum of semi-permanent dyes that wash out in days. Try Bleach Super Cool Colour in Rose, £5, or L’Oreal Paris Feria Pastels in Pink Panther, £5.89, for a macaroon mane that takes just 15 minutes to process.
But can we really brave pink away from the catwalk? Well, in a word, yes. Kaley Cuoco and Nicole Richie have both been sporting the shade in their pixie crops, with the former even streaking a matchy-matchy blush hue through her brows. And, perhaps our favourite display of pink hair came from cooler-than-thou Abbey Lee Kershaw (up top), who rocked a blend of rose and mermaid green tips on a night out this week. Talk about dreamy.
