Pastels are pigment diluted into a conditioning base, so they wash over the hair rather than filling it and the blonde underneath shows through all three. The tones blend with soft edges, and where pink and blue overlap they make a lavender that reads as a fourth shade. These are the fastest fading colors there are: expect visible lightening after the first wash and a faded version of the same palette within two weeks.

Undertonecool, neutral. Nothing here carries gold, and at pastel strength the tints borrow whatever is in the skin, so they settle most easily on pink or neutral complexions.
Starting pointPastels only register on hair taken to a very pale, nearly white blonde, so dark hair needs full bleach and often more than one session to get clean enough.
UpkeepReapply the pigments through conditioner every one to two weeks, wash in cool water only, and keep a bond treatment going because the base underneath is heavily lifted.
