The Easiest Way for Blondes to Have More Fun!

I love pastel hair.  Love it.  On a near daily basis I see pastel shades when browsing Instagram or Pinterest, screenshot them and send them to my hairdresser, telling her I *need* to have baby blue hair.  I want to rock granny-grey-chic.  The mermaid in me needs to try green.  The My Little Pony in me wants lilac locks.  I could totally pull of soft 

And yet, I never go through with it.  Why?  Maintenance mostly.  See, I love experimenting with my hair, but I loathe the upkeep.  I also like to change my mind.  A lot.  And often.  I don't want to wait for things to grow out and fade.

As often happens at BRHQ, a product landed on my desk and my mind was blown.  The Schwarzkopf Live Colour Pastel Spray.  Lasting three washes this easy to use spray is perfect for those of us that want to experiment with pastels and inject a little fun into our lives, without commiting to that loathesome word. Maintenance.

The instructions are simple.  Spray on to towel-dried hair, blot of the excess with a paper towel and style.  The colour will last up to three washes and will not damage your hair.  

Other ways of acheiving the pastel look include mixing a fashion colour with conditioner, applying it and leaving it on for around 5 minutes, or until you get the depth of pastel desired.  Or of course - heading to the salon and getting a pro to do the job for you.  

No matter how you choose to go pastel, one thing is for sure, you'll need blonde hair (natural or prelightened).  This one's kinda non-negotiable.

Ok, so now we know how to get the pastel look - what kind of fun looks can a blonde gal create?  Here's some of my favourites ways to add a pastel flair to your hair!

Half and half is beautiful! If I could be bothered with the up keep I'd have pastel hair!

I have worn Schwarzkopf's lilac blush pastel dye. I just did the ends of my hair. I thought it looked really cool. I would love to try pink, blue or green.

21st October, 2016

I did the survey and only clicked grey - I meant to click blue as well. The colours in these photos look fabulous!

21st October, 2016

I love these looks, but not for me. I have finally found my colour [after all these years].

21st October, 2016

I love the look on someone else. Just because I'm not blond. But if there was like temporary fun purple hair that I could do and wash out in a couple washes without having to bleach my hair of course I'd try it.

I like first look. She is looking fabulous in light pink hair.

21st October, 2016

I like the free and easy streaks...also the pastel blended with gray. I'm definitely inspired.

21st October, 2016

LOVE!!!!

21st October, 2016

Love the subtle pastels. I have black hair and am looking to do a variation of pastel with silvery ends.

21st October, 2016

I like all of these looks except the starting pastel at the roots. Not so sure about that one. My favourite is the pastel mixed with grey, I think that is just gorgeous!I would be very keen to try going pastel, especially given how temporary it is. I'm going to dye my hair blonde in a couple of weeks, so once I'm light blonde these would be really really fun.

I love pastel hair. The maintenance is the problem for me. I like all these looks here.
