Peach pink is an especially flattering color for blondes, but even darker tones can sport the shade in an ombre fade or pastel strands. Just make sure your hair colorist uses sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that are safe for colored hair to maintain the vibrancy of your hue.

For the most vivid results, have your stylist bleach your strands to a level 9 or 10. That will ensure the pastel shades pop.

Shaggy Peach

If you’re a fire sign, electric peach hair will give you the fiery glow that reflects your vibrant personality. For a bolder look, ask your stylist for an ombre peach shade that fades into either a natural blonde or your favorite summer color (like orange).

If light pink doesn’t have the impact you want, try a more subtle tone that leans more toward magenta. This radiant hue looks stunning on long strands, especially when styled in tousled waves like this shoulder-grazing lob by Jenni Vehkaoja Opens in new tab. To create the magenta-inspired effect, she used a balayage technique and mixed 20g of Hyper Coral Opens in new tab and 10g of Nu-Dist Pink with a touch of Clear from Wella’s Color Fresh CREATE line.

Want to try the trend without committing to a permanent dye? Add a pop of peach to your brows with a luminous tint like Lime Crime’s Sushi Hair Tint in Muted Peach or Shrine’s Drop It Peach hair dye drops (but note these won’t offer full coverage). Or, for a super subtle color that still packs a punch, add just a streak of peach to your bob.

Red-Fading Peach

While pastel pink reigned supreme as the summer hair color trend of choice, there’s a cooler baby sister on the way for fall. Think of it as the more mellow strawberry blonde hue, with less pink and more orange tones.

A few streaks of peach on a darker hair color can add a fun pop of color without looking overdone. Celebrities like Busy Philipps, Salma Hayek, and Helen Mirren have all rocked this pretty shade to look fresh and glam.

For a long-lasting, low maintenance look, try a balayage or color melting technique to blend your new peach shade into your natural strands. This look will fade into a soft, blush-like tone that will flatter any skin tone. Plus, it’s a great option for those who want to avoid the hassle of frequent touchups. This style looks best on wavy or curly hair, as the color variance accentuates the texture. This faded peach shade works well for all seasons, but it will transition easily into fall if you want to switch up your look.

Soft Peach

After pastel pink dominated the summer of quarantine, its cool baby sister, golden peach, is ready to transition into fall. This warm, muted hue resembles the color of ripe oranges and apples and flatters any skin tone.

If you want to wear your peach pink hair in a softer shade, try blending it into an ombre or balayage. This color technique allows your stylist to create a gradual effect, and combines multiple shades to give you the exact look you’re going for.

If you have dark hair, a neon peach shade might be too bright for you. You can keep the hue a little more subdued by keeping your roots dark and fading them into a peach shade, like Kim Kardashian. Or, you can make the look more natural by combining it with a honeyed blonde base, like Ashley Tisdale. If you’re unsure about this trend, consider trying out a peach tint or rinse before making the big dye commitment.

Natural Peach

As the weather starts to cool down, a new shade of peach will keep your look fresh and summery. This smoky peach-gold combo pairs vibrant pink with platinum for an eye-catching color that looks especially gorgeous on blondes. It’s a great way to make a statement while keeping your strands healthy, says Frank Friscioni, co-colorist at Oon Arvelo Salon in New York City.

If you’re worried about the upkeep involved in a pastel hue, consider toning with a sulfate-free toner every few weeks to maintain your peach hair color. Also, use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner that are designed for colored hair.

Busy Philipps and Helen Mirren both sport the lightest shades of peach, proving that this hair color is a universally flattering pick for almost any skin tone. For a more dramatic take, ask your stylist to blend neon peach with rose gold, soft pink or even orange for a multi-tonal effect. This style works well for both warm and cool tones, but it’s particularly striking on ashy blondes, like Ashley Tisdale and Kim Kardashian.
