Meet the next best thing to shiny, blonde hair that celebs like Katy Perry, Blake Lively and Kate Hudson adore. Read on for our guide to caring for beautiful rose gold highlights.
Colour
If you’re thinking about topping up your blonde hair with some pink highlights, good news – this hair trend is perfect for everyone.
“This hair colour will look great providing you get the right shade that matches your skintone and eye colour,” says Barney Martin, Pantene’s Ambassador and Hair Expert.
Darker skin tones can get away with bold pink and medium blonde colours, whereas lighter skin tones are best suited to light pink and sandy hues.
Condition
Rose gold hair should shimmer in the light and give off a golden sheen – like a halo around your head.
“I would recommend a shampoo for dyed hair as this will extend the colour life of the hair,” continues Martin. “It’ll also help to hydrate, improve texture and prevent colour fade.”

Care
Don’t forget to look after your hair with a weekly treatment mask, as coloured hair can dry out quickly.
“A treatment works to instantly repair and protect against extreme damage. It should also rehydrate the hair, add moisture and seal the cuticle to make hair look shinier,” says Martin. Try Pantene Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle Treatment, from $2.99
“Sun and saltwater can ruin a good hair colour,” says Martin. “Rinse your hair with water and put in a leave-in conditioner before you get into the pool or ocean, or invest in a hat to protect your colour from the harsh sun.” Try Eleven Australia Miracle Hair Treatment, $24.95
(No) Commitment
If you’re worried about changing your hair colour, you can simply “try on” the trend with washable hair makeup. This one from Redken uses water-based ink which dries instantly and won’t rub off on your clothes, and washes out with normal shampoo.
