Rose gold is an attractive feminine hue that complements many skin tones, especially neutral tones. It works especially well when combined with neutral bases for an earthy and sun-kissed effect. Brunettes with long locks can also embrace this trend by weaving rose gold highlights through their strands to achieve loose waves or braided styles.
Straight Hair
Balayage is an advanced hair coloring technique in which colorists use hand-painted highlights to achieve a natural, sun-kissed effect on client strands. Balayage works for all lengths and textures, making it the go-to choice of many clients.
Straight haired women looking for something different may benefit from a pastel rose gold balayage, with its soft pink tones adding warmth and femininity while complementing various complexions. Depending on its tone, this look may be romantic or bold depending on personal taste.
This look works equally well on long and short haircuts, as evidenced by Kate Hudson’s rose gold pixie and Halsey’s long bob with rose gold streaks. Longer strands allow more opportunities to show off balayage to emphasize its peachy-pinky hue; weaving it seamlessly through each strand or strategically placing it to frame the face. To maintain vibrant shades we suggest using IGK Legendary Shampoo & Conditioner products that protect and strengthen each strand for the optimal look.
Brunette Hair
Rose gold balayage, with its technique that seamlessly blends shades, looks incredible on brunettes. This style can be done all-over or used as an accent color throughout their locks – straight hair makes this shade particularly stand out and works especially well when tied back or pin-up into romantic styles.
As rose gold balayage is a warm-toned hue, it suits all skin tones equally. However, warmer pink variations tend to work best with olive or dark complexions while blush or bubblegum colors suit light skin tones more effectively. If your client is uncertain which shade they wish for their appointment, bring images with them so their stylist can identify what look they’re after long-term.
Balayage and ombre are similar techniques that both involve adding peachy-pink rose gold hues into natural hair color, but there are subtle distinctions in terms of placement and underlying shade – for instance, an elegant classic blonde base faded to rose gold shades creates timeless sophistication, while pairing vivid auburn plum hues with pastel rose tones creates dramatic statements.
Dark Hair
For those with dark hair, it is key to provide plenty of inspiration when visiting their colourist in order to help them understand your desired look and take their advice – they have experience and training that allows them to know which hues work best with their skintone over time.
Rose gold is an especially flattering shade for those with warm skin tones, providing a stunning accent color when applied as part of a balayage style. This soft metallic hue complements most complexions beautifully and can create stunning effects when added as an ombre effect to hair color strands.
Balayage involves hand-painting highlights onto your hair to achieve an authentic sun-kissed effect, creating natural and subtle highlights that blend in seamlessly. Balayage can work on all lengths and textures – light blonde locks will benefit from adding some rose gold hints for an elegant feminine style, or go bolder with champagne rose ombre that gradually transitions from roots to ends for added dimension and depth without altering its original shade too drastically.
Blonde Hair
Rose gold is an eye-catching color to consider for blondes looking for something different in their locks. The pinky-peach hue provides a lovely feminine aesthetic when used in balayage or ombre techniques.
Balayage highlights are applied by hand-painting them into your hair, creating an alluring, natural sun-kissed effect that can be tailored to suit both your complexion and personal style. Warmer variations of rose gold work well for olive and deeper skin tones, while cooler pink-blonde shades such as millennial pink can provide the ideal complement for fair, cool-toned complexions.
Rose gold adds a soft glow that suits all facial structures when added over a blonde base, from the chin-length bob to shoulder-grazing pixie. Pairing rose gold with either wavy or curly textures adds dimension and contrast for maximum effectiveness.
