Cotton Candy Peekaboo
Pale pastel pink hidden under dark hair, milky and soft rather than bright, with a trace of warmth in it.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
Pastels are diluted pigment sitting on almost-white hair, which is exactly why this is both the softest looking and the shortest lived shade here. The panel reads as a pale blush when the hair moves and can vanish completely in low indoor light. With so little pigment holding on, it lightens with every single wash, though it usually gives you a pretty faded version of itself for a week or two before it goes.
- Undertonecool, neutral. A soft blue-pink carrying a little warmth, it stays gentle against fair and light-medium skin rather than pulling color up into the face.
- Starting pointThis only works on hair lifted to a very pale level nine or ten, so dark hair means bleaching the panel out fully before the pastel goes on.
- UpkeepFour to eight washes per application in practice, so most people mix the pigment into conditioner and re-apply at home instead of booking a salon visit.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Cotton Candy Peekaboo against your own skin tone first.
