Experimenting with color is one of the best things about having hair. Since it first started showing up in salons, ombre hair, a look of two-toned hair, has been on-trend and in demand. There is no shortage of color combinations a woman can ask for, but the prettiest might be pink ombre hair!
This color comes in many shades, flattering all skin tones, and will glam up whatever hairstyle you are currently rocking. You’ll want to save this list of gorgeous looks for pink ombre hair for your next trip to the salon!
Pink Ombre vs. Pink Highlights
If you’ve ever wondered what the difference between an ombre and a highlight is, then we’re here to take away your confusion!
Pink ombre means hair that is dyed so the base color melts gradually into pink. Pink ombre hair requires you to have two different shades of hair and one shade gradually transforms into the other along the length of the hair.
On the other hand, when you get pink highlights, certain locks of hair from different parts of your head are dyed pink! In this case, there is no gradual shift from one color to another.

15. Pastel Multicolor Ombre Lob
If you’re looking for a bit of whimsy to spice up your ombre choice, incorporate purples and light blues to make your pink stand out. Not only is this “unicorn” ombre hair super cute, but it’s also daringly different so you probably won’t see many others rocking it.

This purple to pink ombre dye job is perfection, as the pastel pink and lavender colors really complement each other. The best thing about this ombre is definitely the subtle pink highlights that frame the face and are incorporated throughout the purple.
20. Deep-to-Light Pink Ombre
This pink ombre dye job features a gradual lightening of the hair from root to tip. Starting from black, the hair graduates to fuchsia and continues on until it reaches light pink at the ends.
21. Pink Ombre Lob with Short Blunt Bangs
The bright pink ombre gives an electric dimension to this hairstyle that already has a matte black base. The short bangs give it a bit more edge, while the curls are soft and girly, which means that this hairstyle has everything you need for a strong, authentic look.
22. Cotton Candy Ombre on Honey Blonde Hair
While an electric ombre looks eye-catching and bold, it is important to think how your ombre is going to blend into your hair even after it’s washed out. If you have honey blonde hair, a shade of pink that has a little bit of a yellow undertone will be a great match.
23. High Ombre on Dark Brown Hair
This high pink ombre hairstyle can only be properly executed on good quality hair. It starts with fully lightened hair before a bright pink toner goes on top, which is why this dramatic look is best left to a professional colorist.
Afterward, you can just use a flat iron to curl these gentle curls. Keep in mind that a bright pink toner washes out relatively quickly, so you should also maintain the color every few weeks.
24. Low Pink Ombre on Mushroom Brown Hair
If you don’t want to commit to a bold hairstyle but still want to try something exciting, then you should definitely try a dark pink hair shade. It covers only a few inches on your ends, and if by any chance you don’t like it or get bored of it, you can always chop the ends off. Above the pink ends, the mushroom brown stays soft and muted, with subtle lighter ribbons visible through the loose waves.
25. Face-Framing Pink Ombre
If you want to experiment with pink ombre hair without the damage or permanence of bleaching and dyeing, there are hair chalks that you can apply to the hair (that don’t rub off on your clothes) to achieve a similar look.
All of these looks for pink ombre hair will have you feeling confident. Once you decide your favorite color combination, it’s just a matter of heading over to the salon to make it happen!
How to Get Pink Ombre Hair at Home
If you’re interested in ombre hair but don’t want to pay hundreds to get it done, it can be achieved at home.
Also keep in mind that darker hair (brown or black) has to be lightened at the ends before pink will show up clearly, which is a step best handled by a colorist. If you try the process without bleached ends, it will not show.
Pink hair dye typically lasts for about 3-4 weeks before you need a touch-up, but if you wash your hair multiple times a week, it may fade even sooner than that. Some women book salon appointments every two to three weeks to revive their coloring, so keep that in mind before dyeing your hair.
