The 15 Best Rose Gold Hair Ideas to Inspire Your Own Color

Out of all of the pastel hair colors out there, rose gold never goes out of style. The shade is a perfect mix of gold, blonde, and light pink, which makes it a great introduction color for anyone going pastel for the first time.

But, the number one reason to try rose gold hair? Because the color is super customizable, there is a ton of ways to wear it. Take Lucy Hale's rose gold highlights on her brown hair, Maisie Williams's rose gold blonde hair, and Katy Perry's rose gold highlights on her blonde hair as a few examples of how Hollywood is embracing the hair color trend.

"Rose gold hair color is balancing the perfect mix of blonde, gold and light pink," says Maddison Cave of David Mallett salon in New York. "It looks a little different on everyone and may require more pink or gold depending on the color you are starting with."

Cave says there are a few things to consider when going rose gold — namely, your eyes, skin tone and natural hair color. Fair skin, for example, calls for warming up your base color, known as a base bump, before adding a pinkish gold gloss.

"If your skin tone is darker or olive, I would suggest some ombré highlights and using a more heavy duty, demi-permanent color on the previously lightened pieces," she says. Also important? Bringing pictures of people who have a similar skin tone to yours to let your stylist know what you are seeking.

"[Photos] help to communicate the exact shade you are looking for, but don’t be afraid to be open to your colorists' creativity," Cave says.
