Demi Lovato kicked off 2021 with a brand-new rosy pink hair color done by the ultra-talented Amber Maynard Bolt. The striking bubblegum hue looks stunning on the singer, who had previously been sporting platinum blonde hair with her pixie cut. It's worth pointing out that Lovato has repped pink hair several times in the past, though she's never tried a pastel shade like this. Here's hoping she keeps the rainbow color around.

Legendary hair artist Guido Palau was behind Kaia Gerber's pink hair transformation, which she debuted last summer during quarantine. Instead of giving the supermodel fully pink hair, Palau opted for a chic ombré look so it would fade nicely. This is a great look for beginners who may be hesitant to take the train to Pink Town.

Hair-color chameleon Halsey debuted rose-gold strands at the 2018 American Music Awards, making a decidedly different (and refreshing) change from the jet-black hair she was sporting before. This look couldn't be cooler on the singer-songwriter, and is a super fun option for fall.

Rita Ora only just debuted her new orange hair before deciding to play with even more color for the Fragrance Foundation Awards. Hairstylist Brent Lawler added hand-dyed pieces of hair in pink, red, lavender, and purple to the singer's messy bun, creating a look that reminds us of a bird of paradise flower.

If you want to try just a touch of pink, let this dye job done by Winnipeg hairstylist Josie Vilayvanh serve as some inspo. The hair is mostly kept a white-blonde hue, while the roots are colored a dusty pink that seamlessly blends out into the rest of the hair.

Move over, rose gold, this coppery goodness, done on hairstylist Mackenzie Myers by Charley Teague, is making the case for mixing pink with another metallic-inspired shade. Think of it as the perfect pink hue for the fall season with its cozy, spicy hues.

Like the classic tri-colored ice cream flavor, Fresh Off the Boat star Constance Wu debuted a new pink-haired look complete with dark roots and blonde tips. First, she had to lighten her naturally dark strands before adding a rosy dye to only the mid-section of her hair.

Hailey Baldwin tinted her blonde hair with pink, adding brighter as well as pastel streaks throughout. If your hair is already lightened like Baldwin's, you can easily replicate her look at home with Overtone's Extreme Pink Deep Treatment, which gently deposits color onto hair in minutes.

It's no surprise that Blac Chyna has a wig in this decade's most sought-after shade of pink. But if you're not a wig person and prefer a more permanent option, prepare to bleach your hair white-blonde before dyeing it this soft blush hue.

Bella Thorne is proof that you don't have to stop wearing pink makeup after dyeing your hair. Her electric magenta hue is an edgier take on the trend, and Thorne takes it even further with a perfectly matching lipstick. It's a pairing that works brilliantly against her skin tone.

Thanks to a shimmery temporary hair-color, hairstylist Mara Roszakara briefly transformed Cara Delevingne's blonde pixie into a silvery rose hue. You can try the look out for yourself with the Clairol Color Crave Hair Makeup, a Best of Beauty winner.

Every member of K-pop group BTS has dyed their hair pink at least once, but Jimin, in particular, is a repeat offender. Last year, he colored his hair a vibrant watermelon shade that left fans inspired.

Leader of K-pop group NCT 127, Taeyong, showed us all how to master the rose-gold hair trend when the "Cherry Bomb" music video dropped. (We dare you to watch the whole thing and not want to dye your hair a matching shade immediately after.) The rapper even colored his brows in the trendy hue.

Iggy Azalea decided to try something new, straying from her signature blonde for a shocking shade of pink. Take a look and you'll see that it's brightest towards her roots and fades into a white-blonde at the tips for a bright and bold ombré.

You don't have to bleach your whole head to achieve a pink look. Model Joan Smalls only dyed the bottom half of her hair and it looked stunning. If you have shorter hair, you can achieve a similar effect by adding in pink extensions.

You can ease into the pink hair fantasy with a hint of it like Kesha. Those with naturally light blonde hair can color their strands at home with a similar, barely-there shade using L'Oreal Paris Féria Smokey Pastels in Smokey Pink.

Yes, pink looks amazing on buzzcuts, too. Case in point: Television personality Kandyce Hogan showing us how you can add a shock of neon pink to a close crop. Here, her sides are shaved down and the pink adds a stark line of demarcation between the bright hue and her natural shade.

We can't be the only ones that think that Fernanda Ly's blush-to-creamsicle hair looks like melted rainbow sherbert, right? The model combined two pastel shades to create one deliciously gorgeous hue that looks good enough to eat. Anyone else in the mood for dessert?

Model Liz Harlan's bubblegum hair is unapologetically pink. The vivid shade will eventually fade to a softer hue, but it's sure to wow while it lasts. At home, you can recreate Harlan's hue with Lime Crime's Unicorn Hair in Bubblegum Rose.

Here's one way to go pink and make it look completely breezy and effortless. Avoid adding pink to your roots and ends like British singer Mary Charteris does here. The washed-out rose dye creates an almost tie-dye effect we're obsessed with.

Rainbow-haired model Irene Kim worked her dark roots to her advantage to create a gorgeous gradient of black-and-pink. The best thing about this particular dye job is you won't have to worry about touching up your roots on the regular.

For her pink hair transformation, Suki Waterhouse visited the U.K.'s popular salon Bleach London. Colorists there gave her a hue that was neither too bright nor too pastel. Instead, we've got a lovely mix of dark and lighter pinks that give a soft boldness to the look.

Cruella de Vil, eat your heart out. Nicki Minaj clearly couldn't choose between platinum and pink, so she went with both, rocking platinum on one side of her middle-parted hair and a petal pink shade on the other. We stan a multitasking queen.

Throughout her career, Pink has dyed her hair nearly every shade of, well, pink. Most recently, she's styled her hair shorter on the sides of her head (which she didn't dye), leaving it longer on top with a cool, violet-tinged pink hue.

Jaden Smith is low-key a hair icon, which he demonstrates here with this cool two-toned crop. You can still see flecks of blonde peeking through his rosé-hued hair, while the sides are serving full-on champagne. Drink it all up, folks.

Mel B has experimented with a lot of colors (even glitter), but her rosy Mowhawk is one of the daring hues she's played around with that we particularly love. Varying shades of soft pink remind us a bit of cotton candy, but the Mohawk style is what gives this look ultimate edginess.

A pastel pink that proves no matter your age, you should have fun dyeing your hair! In my opinion, play with a fun cut and pastel tone to spice up your aging hair. Tones like this require little upkeep to look good. The fade-out is flawless and you can use a simple toning conditioner if you want it to keep up!

Stand out in a crowd with a bright pink bob with a dark pink fringe. Sporting a trendy cut and color will show off your unique style. Fashion colors are fun to play with but do come with a hefty price tag. Be ready for the commitment of coloring every 3-4 weeks to keep your funky colors vibrant.

Go for a soft and blended color with air touch pink balayage. Fashion colors can look blended too when you do the right technique. Air touch is a high-lightening technique that will give your hair a seamless blend. If you want a fun pop of color ask for a blushing pink and make your locks stand out.

Baby pink hair dye is a subtle warm pastel pink color. It suits fair skin tones better, and for darker skin, a deeper pink is the shade to go to. Almost every hair dye brand has a baby pink color and its variations in their charts. Take for example Wella, which has come up with a take-home mask that moisturizes and nourishes hair and at the same time deposits pigments.

Sunset pink hair beams with radiance and vivid coral tones. Bubble gum pink hues blended into peachy, coral colors gives a beautiful ombre of deep pink into light, pastel pink tones. To live this color to the fullest, ask your stylist to make you as blonde as possible, giving you the perfect light canvas to make the sunset pink color vibrant and luminous.

Light metallic pink hair combines soft pink tones with cool undertones to give an icy light pink hair. Metallic pink hues reflect light and are filled with shine and brightness. Women with blonde hair are the perfect canvas for a light metallic pink color. Ask your stylist to use a light pink toner and cool additives to keep the pink looking glowing and shiny.

A peachy pink tone is subtle and elegant. Light peachy pink hair reflects warm rose hues that look beautiful on fair skin tones. A pastel, peach pink tone is a fun makeover for blondes looking to brighten and revamp their hair color.

Adding a light pink color to black hair can be a very strong hair color choice. The hue is perfect for ladies with dark hair that want something fun and extra. Be prepared to invest in more expensive hair products to preserve your color.

If you have a natural strawberry-blonde hair color, then request light pink highlights to create a seamless blend of orange to pink tones. This pastel pink hair would look very stunning on long hair with waves. 041b061a72
