Why It Works

Rose gold hair blends warm blonde with soft pink to create a peachy-golden-rose tone that is one of the most universally flattering fashion hair colors. Its warmth suits a wide range of skin tones—from fair to medium—and the blended nature of the color means it fades gracefully through shades of strawberry blonde and honey blonde. It is less overtly pink than pastel rose hair and less boldly blonde than honey blonde, occupying a uniquely flattering middle ground.

How to Style

  1. 1

    Lighten hair to a warm level 8-9 blonde as the base.

  2. 2

    Apply a rose-gold toner or gloss with warm pink and golden undertones.

  3. 3

    Process for 15-20 minutes until the rosy warmth is evenly visible.

  4. 4

    Rinse with cool water and apply a moisturizing color mask.

  5. 5

    Alternate between a pink depositing conditioner and a golden one to maintain the blend.

Pro Tip

Rose gold is actually a mix of pink and golden tones — ask your colorist to apply it over a warm blonde base (not cool/ashy), or the pink will appear washed out.
