ENTITy shares the good and bad of dyeing your hair pink.

When your mom said that she wanted you to be more feminine, you had one idea. Think. Pink.

The pink hair trend has survived the ’80s, the ’90s and even now. You can be a soft pastel pink indie lover or you can be a raging fuchsia pink-haired rebel without a cause. Anything pretty much goes.

But wait, does going pink make you go bald? ENTITY has the latest on whether or not pink hair will leave you blushing or raging red.

You first need to consider your hair color now.

If you have luscious blonde locks, then you could probably pull off a DIY version of this look. Many YouTube videos depict blonde-haired ladies going hard in the pink.

If you are a brunette maven, though, the journey to be Gwen Stefani in her “No Doubt” days will not be a simple one.

And If you are a woman of the dark side, then you need to have an encounter with Mr. Bleach. However, bleach severely damages your hair. So, before your stylist puts in that dazzling shade of pink, they need to completely strip your hair of its natural color.

Also keep in mind that you may not be able to get the exact same pink hair in the photo you find online and absolutely love. If someone with naturally blonde hair dyed their hair with a light pink color, using the same color on someone with naturally dark hair won’t lead to the same shade of pink. The person would have to bleach their hair first.

So when you’re looking to go pink, consider your natural hair color and think about how much damage you’re willing to put up with.

Pink fades way faster than you think.

You walk out of the salon with a full head of a pink lemonade-like hair color. You just spent $200, but you’re very pleased. After all, it was worth it so you can rock pink hair for at least six months, right?

Not quite.

You can rock your hair, but it won’t be for six months. It will be pretty rad for about two weeks. That’s about it. If you’re not a cash cow, spending that much money for something that won’t stay vibrant for very long may not be worth it.

Blogger Kelsi of the Brighter Sides, writes about why she stopped going pink. According to her, it took way too much upkeep to stay the vibrant color.

“It is sooooo high maintenance! I’m not a very high maintenance person in general (I guess that depends on whom you ask), so the pink was a lot more upkeep than I would have preferred,” she said. “I had to get my roots bleached and retouch all of the pink about every five weeks, and it took five hours or so every time. That’s a big time investment for me.”

Pink stains everything.

Say goodbye to that beautiful white ruffled blouse of yours. Very pigmented hair will rub off on everything, reports MTV. For the first few washes, especially if you do it yourself, your room will look like something out of “My Little Pony.”

In order to avoid this, you’re going to have to make sure to wash your hair well enough and take the necessary precautions. You know, probably don’t sleep on white sheets for the first few weeks.

Overall, I’m not here to detour you from your mermaid-inspired hair color. I mean, who doesn’t want to look like a fairy princess, am I right? It is important to know what you are delving into, though.

And if you do not have faith in your hands to do the magic, opt for the Salon, especially on your first try. And of course, don’t forget to get a consultation before.

Until then, unicorn on ladies and gents.
