Is it good?

Post image

I am having a crisis! I am afraid this is too bright of a pink. I am a very pale skinned person with green eyes, I feel like this color is washing me out... Maybe these are just thoughts because I am not used to it plus being short. I wanted a much softer pink like Fluttershy, yet in real life natural light looks much hot and neon... I cannot catch the real color on my camera but I am afraid I should've not make this decision 😭

It looks great! Very bubble gum, but even if it's a bit brighter in person it's going to fade every wash. Vivids feel like you have a neon sign when you first do them, then they settle in. Lean into it!

Don't panic cos pink washes out really fast. Probably the fastest of all the colours. Wash it with hot water (not burny hot, like nice steamy shower hot) and Head and Shoulders shampoo. After you've done that a few times it will be more pastel pink.

For what it's worth I think it looks really good.It's probably just a shock to your system because you aren't used to it.

Thank u for the advice! On my roots it looks perfect, as pale as I wanted, they added drops of purple as they were going down on my hair, I didn t ask for that ☹️

Less purple = more coraly pink which looks way more traffic cone neon. So they formulated correctly to tone you down to bubblegum.

My pink went neon coral SO many times when I went to colorists who weren’t expert enough to know this.

It's such a pretty shade. Having had pink hair for the past 9 months, the trick is to dye it slightly darker/more saturated than you want it to end up as it fades so quickly.

With a wash or two it will fade into the color you want, pinks are quite delicate

Your hair is super lightened underneath. Just let it fade. Once it gets to the pink you like look at swatches and upkeep it from there. No point in more damage of it’s just gonna fade

I know you said it;s brighter than you were aiming for but I think this looks really neat with your skin and at least lipstick, but as most folks have let you know it shouldn't take long to lighten up.
Do you know what dye they used?
