Interested in getting pink hair color? One of the questions I get asked the most often is how I maintain mine. I’ve had pink hair for about two years now. To be specific, I have blonde highlights, brown roots and then a pink tint on top of that. I’ve had every shade from pastel pink to rose gold to bright pink hair colors and they have one thing in common….they fade easily. After a lot of advice from my hairstylist, and some trial and error…. I’ve found a pretty good routine to keep my pink hair color fresh.

I do go to the salon for a color refresh about every five weeks, so this is the in between salon visits routine.

Foam Dry Shampoo: This is the BEST dry shampoo type for colored or dry hair!

Pink Hair Color: How I Maintain Mine

  1. Cold Water Only: ?This is a must do. Say goodbye to the hot water….on your hair at least. Hot water opens the hair shaft, and pink hair color (or any other) will fade more quickly. So, I wash my hair with icy cold water.

  2. Heat Protectant and Minimal Heat Styling: ?Heat (like the heat from a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron) can also cause color fade. I use a microfiber towel to remove MOST water from my hair when it’s freshly washed, then use a heat protectant while blow drying or heat styling.

  3. Dry Shampoo and Dry Conditioner to extend time between washes: ?One of the most important steps to getting pink hair color or any hair color to last? Extending the time between washes. For dry or oily hair, a great dry shampoo will make a huge difference. And for dry hair like mine? A dry conditioner is also an important tool. Lately? I’ve been using items from Pantene’s new sulfate and paraben free Waterless Collection. The Pantene Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam is great for refreshing hair without drying it out. I love love love the foam, it contains B5 and is free of sulfates and parabens. My usual steps? I use Dry Shampoo Foam (along with Pantene’s Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist) starting on day 3. With my dry hair, I’ve found it’s better to wait until then. I use the dry shampoo foam on the roots of my hair (dispensing a small amount into my palm and applying a section at a time to my roots with fingers) and then spray the dry conditioner mist only on the ends. I wait about three to five minutes, then brush through my hair and style as usual.

  4. Pink Depositing Shampoo: ?When I do shampoo, I use either a color depositing shampoo every other week (I wash every 5 to 7 days) or my hairdresser will mix a custom toner to use in conditioner. This helps keep pink hair color fresh.

🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀ ⠀ Thi 🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀⠀This weekend we flew to Sacramento and then road tripped north to see my family up in the mountains.  It was so much fun to spend time together, and it reminded me….we are ALL one of these people on a toad trip.⠀⠀Bonus points to the VERY nice road trip vehicle we had…..the team at @MazdaUSA lent us a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus and it was AMAZING (it even had a wireless charging dock for our phones). It made my snack stops even better (yup, we tried Dutch Bros for the first time and OMG we need them to expand to more Southern California locations ASAP).⠀⠀So, which are person are YOU on a road trip? ⠀⠀#familytravel #drivemazda
….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
