Rose Gold Hair Colour in Abingdon
Rose gold has been a popular hair colour for several years now — and unlike a lot of trends, it hasn’t faded. It still manages the rare trick of being both fashionable and distinctive: enough people love it that it’s an established choice, but it’s individual enough that you’ll still stand out wearing it. Here’s an honest look at rose gold hair, and how to get a result you’ll love, from the team at Wisteria Avenue in Abingdon.
What rose gold actually is
Rose gold isn’t a single shade — it’s a blend. It sits at the meeting point of soft red, gentle pink and warm blonde, and the exact balance is what gives it that warm, flattering, slightly metallic glow. Shift the proportions and you can take it anywhere from a barely-there blush tone to a much bolder, more saturated pink-gold. That range is part of what makes it such a versatile choice.
All-over colour or highlights?
One of the best things about rose gold is that you don’t have to commit to a full head of it. You can take the whole head to rose gold for a bold, all-in look, or weave it through as highlights to enrich your natural colour with just a hint of the tone. If you’re rose-gold-curious but not sure about going all in, highlights or a balayage-style application are a lower-commitment way to try it — softer to live with and gentler as it grows out.
Getting the right result — and keeping it
Two honest things worth knowing. First, rose gold usually needs a lighter base to sit on, so depending on your starting colour your hair may need lightening first — which makes the consultation important, especially if your hair is dark or previously coloured. Second, like most fashion tones with pink and red in them, rose gold will gradually soften and fade between appointments. That’s normal — it often fades quite prettily — but it does mean rose gold is a colour you maintain rather than set and forget. Your colourist can advise on how to keep it looking fresh for longer.
Book your rose gold colour
Rose gold is a colour that really rewards working closely with your colourist — it’s a blend, and the right blend for you depends on your skin tone, your natural colour and how bold you want to go.
