Warm weather and cool pastel hair is just around the corner…
After months of hiding under your favourite cozy winter clothes, it’s finally time to shed some layers and let your hair bloom with some of the season’s top spring hair trends. While in 2021 we saw a rise in curtain bangs and an embracing of shadow roots, for 2022 we are expecting some soft pastel shades as people head back to the salon.
Let’s take a look at the pastel hair trends to try this spring! Be sure to show a picture from below to your stylist so they know just the right shade to whip up for you. We’re positive one of these Spring 2022 hair trends will have you immediately booking your next appointment!
1. ballet slipper Streaks
A little Frenchie from Grease, a whole lot of whimsical style. You can ease into your pink hair fantasy with just a hint of it. Tint your hair with some pastel pink streaks and add a brighter contrast to your already chic look. Have some fun by asking your stylist to add pastel pink strokes to your mid-lengths and ends.
2. seafoam blue
This is a pastel mane with a mission; a striking masterpiece that sees a bold icy blue segue into something that’s both soft and impactful. If you want to live your blue fantasy, do it in a way that makes people stop and stare. Like a breath of fresh air and as soft as seafoam, this pastel blue will splash life back into your look.
3. Princess Peach
Embrace the peachy hair trend with a pastel monochromatic style. It will bring out this juicy tone in full shine, making you the person with the most delicious hair in the room! Plus, it’s a nice way to dabble in the realm of pastels without stepping too far out of your comfort zone. When doing a fantasy colour like this, it’s important to take care of the health of your hair and prevent damage from hot tools.
4. SMOKED LILAC
To be honest, if those years in lock down has taught us anything, it’s that everything goes when it comes to hair colour. So, if you’ve grown tired of the same old blondes and brunettes, why not try a vibrant lilac ombre? Live out your mermaid fantasy and ask for ash blonde roots with some lilac infused ends (you can thank us later). And the best part is it will fade into a stream of purple as it grows out!
5. Robin’s Egg
Robin’s egg blue fits perfectly into the vibrant, true-blue family. There’s no undertone of mint here—just glorious, bright hues. It looks especially stunning on those with pale skin tones. Consult with your trusted colourist for products that will help prolong the beauty of your unicorn blue strands.
6. Dip Dyed Ends
There are two ways to celebrate Spring: run through a field of sunflowers, or dip-dye your ends with a bright and unexpected colour. While pastel hair colours have been sweeping our generation since the start of the year, going fully blue may not be for everyone. This look is basically the hair colour equivalent of dipping your toes in the water without getting drenched. Case in point: these bright pastel blue ends with red hair. The blunt bob and face framing bangs makes this look runway ready!

7. Rose Quartz
This pale rose gold is a subtle way to hop on the celebrity-approved hair trend. Plus, you’ll get away with few salon visits as the colour will look pretty even as it washes out. A mesmerising blend of pink, red, and blonde shades, rose gold hair is undeniably one of the prettiest pastel hair colour trends. For added wearibility, go for a dusty rose look with natural roots. This will extend the longetivity of your dye job and give you a smoother transition as your hair grows.
8. Face Framing Highlights
Another way to just whisper colour into your hair? Applying a pastel colour to your bangs is the perfect way to brighten the hair framing your face. Yup, those bright pastel face-framing highlights all over Instagram are here to stay for Spring 2022. Perfect for a grungy vibe rather than just straight up My Little Pony. Plus, it’s much easier to upkeep!
