The year may have started off with a bang, but the color everyone’s buzzing about is soft and sweet. While peach (and really all shades of apricot & coral) – is trending right now, it’s also timeless and super wearable, so don’t be surprised if it ends up becoming your new signature shade.
Who Looks Good In Peach?
The answer might surprise you – everybody! With the balanced warmth of orange & pink, it’s suited to bring out the best in every skin tone, from cool to warm, fair to deep.
How Do I Choose The Perfect Shade Of Peach Hair Color?
To keep this pastel shade as vibrant as it can be, we recommend pre-lightening before you add any color, especially if your hair is naturally dark. The lighter your hair, the more vibrant the color will be. We offer some great lightening kits like the Strawberry Leopard™ Lighten Me Up Kit, that includes everything you need to get started. If you’re worried your darker hair might make things a bit harder, we have great kits that deposit color on any level of hair, like IGK’s Color Bright One Step Bleach & Color Kit in Coral Crush.
After you lighten, go in with one of these fun peachy shades, like Uberliss Bond Sustainer Peach Hydrangea Hair Color, or you can save on your color with ion® Color Brilliance® Permanent Brights Salmon Crème Hair Color. If you need help finding the perfect shade, be sure to reach out to a Sally Associate or check out a Licensed Colorist OnDemand for the best tips and tricks on everything hair color.
Not ready to completely commit to peach? No problem! Don’t sweat about dying your whole head – you can always add fun a pop of color with dip dye on your ends, or a money piece for stylish strands.
How Do I Keep My Peach Hair Color From Fading?
Like any other color, make sure that you use cool water when washing your hair (or at the very least rinse with it), along with color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to keep it from fading faster. We recommend ion® Color Defense® Sulfate-Free Shampoo & After-Color Sealer to extend your color while increasing your hair’s softness and shine. You can also use a color-depositing mask to help keep your color looking fresh, like our Wella Peach Blush Color Fresh Mask.
It’s also important to protect your hair from any heat and sun damage that could fade your color faster. It might be a good idea to put down the heat tools, or at least use them in moderation with the help of heat-protectant products. We recommend our very own Strawberry Leopard™ UV & Heat Protector Cream for the best of both worlds of protection.
What Other Ways Can I Rock Peach?
If the idea of colored hair seems like too much to keep up with, don’t worry! There are still plenty of ways to try out this peachy-keen color, from warming up makeup looks with glossy 2-in-1 cheek & lip tint to beautiful manicures. Whether you use it as a chic base color with OPI’s Got Myself Into A Jam-Balaya shade, or for unique shimmer and shine with FingerPaint’s So Avant-Garde shade, peach is the perfect color to let your creativity shine.
