The second part of winter when the weather is brutal and the holidays are in the rearview mirror can give you the doldrums. If you're searching for a way to brighten those grey days, might we suggest you get some pastel in your life? Pastel hair color is an unexpected way to liven up your look, and with a literal rainbow of colors to choose from, you can go from Robin's Egg Blue to Powder Pink before the snow even melts. Another great thing about pastels is that depending on how much color pop-age you want, you can go soft and subtle or can't-miss-me vibrant. It's all you! Read on to discover some ideas and tips to get a pastel hair color that will make you look even more amazing.

Start Small

Like any coloring situation, going pastel may not be something you want to dive into head first (pun intended). Maybe start with a piece of hair underneath or some color on the ends just to see if it's your thing. If it turns out you're really feeling the pastel vibe, you can always go further or even try out a different color without making it a huge endeavor. For those who add color to their tips, throwing some curls in the mix will add great dimension to the look. Grab the NuMe Classic Curling Wand, which comes in 19mm, 25mm and 32mm barrel sizes—prefect for creating tight ringlets, beach waves and everything in between.

Or Go All In

Maybe tiptoeing into any situation is not your thing—especially when it comes to your hair. If you're the all in type of gal then go for an all over color that is certain to earn you some wows. With a plethora of fabulous hues to choose from, the sky's the limit in terms of what you can do. A bold step like this does come with the caveat of needing to make sure you nourish and care for your hair even more than usual. Try the Mane Goals - Deep Repair Mask, a protein mask designed to hydrate, restore and invigorate even the most distressed, under-nourished hair.

Be Indecisive

Maybe you're here for allllll the colors and think picking one would be like picking a favorite child. If narrowing it down is totally out of the question, why not just go for multiple shades? It's probably a good pastel hair color idea to pick ones that blend well together to create a spectrum-like, gradient effect, but even with that, your options are endless. Make sure you keep your hair well moisturized as even the softest colors have the ability to dry out strands if you're not careful. Our White Truffle Serum will make a great addition to your hair care routine to get the pastel hair color you want. Its top-quality ingredients make it the ultimate dry hair treatment and serum for repairing and protecting your hair with a touch of shine.

Pair It

Once you have a color that's to dye for (see what we did there?), why stop with that? Pair it with a dope cut that highlights your best features. So not only are you showing off your amazing hair but your incredible self! With a sleek cut such as this, your straightener will become your BFF so make sure she's a good one, like the NuMe Megastar. With its one-inch tourmaline ceramic plates, the Megastar will have your pastel locks smooth and your style even smoother.
