Christian Vierig via Getty Images Pastel and candy-colored hair shades are super-popular, but theyre not the easiest to maintain. Pastel and candy-colored hair has been trending for a while now. And thanks to stars like Cardi B, who recently showed off rainbow-hued tresses on Instagram, and Lady Gaga, who walked the 2018 Golden Globes red carpet with an icy blue do, it seems to be experiencing a renaissance Were here for it. Seriously, we could spend hours scrolling through Pinterest boards and Instagram feeds dedicated to colorful hair.) But for those looking to take the leap into a world of whimsical hair colors, there are a few things to know. And while it can be done in one sitting (sometimes), its often a very long process. In order to help you decide whether the pastel and candy-colored hair trend is for you, we spoke to three experienced stylists to find out everything you need to know about elevating your natural hair (or wigs, as the case may be) to My Little Pony status. The process tends to work best on virgin hair Before you even head to the salon, you should know that the steps you need to take to get to a pastel or candy-colored hue will work best on virgin hair (meaning it hasnt been colored at all). Louis, told HuffPost, Its a lot harder to bleach through artificial color than it is through virgin hair. For darker hair especially, that can get a bit tricky because its already harder to bleach darker hair, she added. But if its layered with color already, that presents a whole other challenge.

Sometimes I try to encourage people to do more strategic placements, rather than bleaching out their whole head, Ford said. Youre most likely going to need to lighten your hair to start In order to achieve a pastel hair color, Emaly Baum, a hair color specialist based in New York City, said hair has to be a very pale yellow or else you wont be able to achieve the tone you want. Getting to that pale blond is basically about setting yourself up for success. However, If youre looking for a more creative fashion color something thats a little brighter, deeper and more jewel tone you dont need to be as blond to start, she said. Ford said she encourages clients with darker hair to opt for those brighter colors because it wont require as much bleach and therefore wont cause as much damage to the hair. For those with naturally lighter hair, going platinum isnt as difficult, which makes pastels a little more attainable, she said. The initial process could take all day Results vary from person to person, but according to the stylists we spoke to, its possible to get pastel or candy-colored hair in one salon session. However, the process is bound to be long, especially if (you guessed it) you have darker hair. The longest process involved is bleaching the hair, Ford said, noting that it could take anywhere from two to six hours, depending on hair density, length and color. She added that she has done bleaching sessions that took even longer. When it comes time to apply the color, Erin Hriczak, a hair colorist based in New Jersey, said for the more complicated, multitonal looks, it can take a couple of hours. But for most people, she said it probably takes about an hour to apply color and about 30 minutes for it to set before it gets washed out.
