Like many other once-fashionable options we've left behind (CC'ing low-rise jeans), pink hair was once a major Y2k trend. But now that we're cooped up at home with no need to step into an office, we're all given the chance to experiment with NSFW shades on our strands.

Which is why you may have noticed an uptick of bubblegum-pink heads of hair flooding your Instagram feed lately — even a few of our favorite celebrities are joining in on the fun. Between muted pastels and vibrant neon shades, there's a shade of pink that will definitely catch your eye. So, if you're ready to play around with your tresses, give some of these pink hair dyes a try.

If you're searching for the perfect pastel pink, then this hair dye is your best bet.

Think of this as more of a tint than a committed relationship to a whole new color: It leaves behind just a tinge of pink to give your hair a cool new look, so it doesn't come with dryness, brittle feel, or the baggage that comes with most permanent hair dyes. Plus, its damage-free color is gentle on strands, so it washes out gradually and fades gracefully.
