Coral Reef
Coral pink at the top fading into aqua through the ends, two shades that meet somewhere around the mid lengths.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
The join is the whole look: where coral meets aqua the overlap turns a muted salmon or a dusty teal depending on how much of each lands there, and a clean blend needs both applied at once. Coral is a warm pastel and aqua is cool, so the hair changes temperature as it falls. Aqua fades to pale mint and coral to a peachy blush at different rates, so it drifts out of balance rather than fading evenly.
- Undertonewarm, cool. It carries both directions at once, warm at the face and cool at the ends, so it works across skin tones as long as the coral half is the part sitting near the jaw.
- Starting pointBoth shades are semi-permanent pigments that only show on pale blonde, so anything darker than a level nine needs bleaching from root to tip.
- UpkeepExpect to re-dye every three to four weeks, refreshing the aqua more often than the coral, and wash sulfate-free because both pigments sit on the surface.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Coral Reef against your own skin tone first.
