You might have heard of rose gold, but have you heard of dusty rose pink? It’s the middle-ground between light and dark pink with an ashy undertone, perfect for women who want something unusual yet still pretty.

Celebrity stylist George Papanikolas actually described the color as more of “a whisper than a shout of vibrant color.”  So whether you have short or long hair, curly or straight, you need to see why a dusty rose pink hairstyle should be your next reason for a trip to the salon.

Thanks to runways with models who rock the latest fashion designer’s creations, dusty rose came out of the shadows and blew everyone away. The color is now often seen on both celeb and hair stylist’s Instagrams everywhere.

When people realized the ashy shade mixed well with practically every other color out there, it took off even more, becoming a go-to shade to liven up any look with a touch of femininity. As you’ll see below, there are no limits to the way dusty rose hair can be rocked.

How to Get Rose Pink Hair

• If you have darker hair you will need a bleaching agent in order to lighten up your roots. If you have platinum hair all you have to do is purchase a rose gold or pink hair dye. Your purchased kit (bleached or dye box) will tell you the exact instructions when it comes to color mixing ration.
• Wear some old clothes and don’t forget hand gloves which will protect you from getting dirty. Mix your bleach along with your developer and shake the bottle vigorously after you are done combining these two products.
• Clip your hair in sections and work with smaller ones starting in the middle. Add your bleach to comb-through hair and make sure you dye your roots since these can bleach faster than the rest of your hair.
• Let the bleach sit for 15 minutes and then rinse it out. After your hair is completely rinsed out, do your rose gold dye next. It is very important for your hair to look golden, white, platinum, or silver before you apply a pink dye on top.
• If you don’t want to use hair dye you can also use a purple toning shampoo since it can penetrate the strands just as well. After you achieve your wanted color don’t forget to condition your hair and blow-dry per your preference.
