i think it would look really good. just keep in mind that if you have natural blond highlights, it will take a really long time to get the pink out of your hair even if you dye over it.

The process of changing light brown hair with natural blonde highlights to vibrant pink highlights can sometimes be a tricky one. If you have naturally light brown hair, the process can be easier than if you have chemically treated light brown hair. Chemically treated light brown hair does not hold bleach as well as naturally light brown hair does.



Make very certain you know what you are getting before purchasing the dye. Try to find images of a regular person with pink highlights. I often use google Images. To make sure someone else has used the product before I you try it on your own hair, just to make sure your not getting ripped off. I personally recommend getting Paul Mitchell閳ユ獨 Ink Works. Since you will be highlighting it pink, I recommend getting their Red hair highlighting dye. For some reason, this dye turns pink instead of red.



You don閳ユ獩 need an expensive lightener or bleach, especially if you have chemically treated hair - as this will become expensive. You can even use one of those five dollar blonde hair dye kits that come in your local pharmacy or grocery store.



Follow the directions in the box of the bleach. If your hair seems to have not lightened enough, leave it in for up to ten more minutes, but no more. Even if your hair still looks dark, you can always work with it more later.



On bottles of Paul Mitchell閳ユ獨 Ink Works, there really are no directions, so I recommend putting it in your hair for 20 minutes or longer until the hair is the color pink you want. If you have a bottle that comes with specific directions I recommend following them.



For only highlighting pieces of hair on your head, separate the strands you wish to be pink. Pull through a cap and keep them separate from your light brown hair and bleach those strands. When you go to dye it, it閳ユ獨 okay to miss and get the spots next to the highlights. I recommend even covering your whole head. If your hair is light, the pink won閳ユ獩 show up one bit on the pieces that you are not attempting to dye.



Wash your hair in lukewarm water when you are done processing your hair. Follow it by conditioning with the deepest conditioner you can afford. Deep conditioners help lock in the dye and keep your hair silky and smooth and prevents breakage later.



If you feel your hair didn閳ユ獩 get the brightness you wanted it when you dyed it, a little more work is required. When your roots start to show or the pink fades after two to four weeks, bleach your hair again. If you do this, it will brighten up the parts that were a bit darker before without damaging your hair. Dye it pink again, and keep following this process until you have your entire head of hair the color you want. If you have chemically treated hair on the bottom and virgin hair at the top, I recommend dying your hair from the bottom up so that less dye is used, and the color doesn閳ユ獩 look uneven each time you do it.
