If you've been contemplating a new color, we've rounded up some of the best products to help you take the leap from the comfort of your home.

As someone who has dyed their hair about 10 different colors, and had more hairstyles than I can count at this point, I know there is something extremely powerful about not just a haircut, but a dramatic hair transformation. Maybe you're taking ownership of a new time in your life and marking it with a new look; ie: a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/celebrity-breakups-miley-liam-kylie-travis-2019">breakup</a>, new job, or moving to a new city. Or, like me, you could just be bored with the current state of your locks. Regardless of which category you fall in, a fresh perspective inside and out is good for the soul.&nbsp;
In taking this courageous leap of faith, many are turning to at-home kits and more recently,&nbsp;pink hair dye. As a note, in order to achieve&nbsp;light&nbsp;or pastel tones, it will require applying on light-colored hair. If your hair isn't lightened already, it will require one or more rounds of bleaching before adding color, which we don't suggest experimenting with at home - leave it for a professional or keep scrolling for some alternative options. Otherwise, read on for our product guide to achieve your next <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/scalp-hair-care">hair</a> color at home.

Whether you are looking to maintain your already colored hair, or applying a new color, the process of hair dying requires you to supplement&nbsp;your hair with extra moisturizing as coloring <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/chic-cbd-beauty-2019">products</a> can strip and dry hair. To maintain your healthiest hair while transitioning and maintaining color try a deep conditioning hair mask to treat dryness while also color safe.

An effective&nbsp;purple shampoo is important for maintaning the purity of a blonde hair color which is very important before adding in a color. The more yellow tones that remain in your hair before applying a color like a pink hair dye, the more likely your hair is&nbsp;to turn&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pap-attack-zendaya-is-your-tangerine-dream-2019">orange</a>. Prep your hair before beginning the dying process with a brass-eliminating shampoo like this one from Amika.

If your hair is a platinum to light blonde, and you're ready to fully dive into a pastel, millennial pink hair dye, this is for you. Pravana's pastel color range gets a perfectly vivid and even-toned dye but without total commitment. The temporary pink hair dye will stay on top of your already dyed hair for up to 4-10 hair washes. You can apply the product out of the tube and onto the hair without adding anything else. If you're scared to go too bright, you can dilute the <a href="http://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fashion-colors-2020-trends">color</a> with any white-colored conditioner. After, you can choose to refresh the color in a few weeks, or let it wash out completely.
