And here we are with our top picks for styling your rose gold hair color!
But, before we jump into our list, let’s see how you can color your hair rose gold at home

- Bowl
- An old towel
- Rubber gloves
- Sectioning clips
- Rose gold dye

How To Color Your Hair Rose Gold At Home
- Drape an old towel around your shoulders to prevent bleach from getting on your clothes.
- Mix your bleach and developer (included in the kit) thoroughly in a mixing bowl.
- Partition your hair vertically and then horizontally to divide it into 4 sections and pin 3 ofthe sections up with sectioning clips.
- From the section left loose, pick up a 1-inch section of hair and start applying bleach to it from the ends first and working up the length of your hair with a coloring brush.
- Keep repeating the previous step until you have applied bleach to all your hair.
- Leave the bleach in for the time duration indicated on the box, making sure you check the shade your hair has reached every 10 minutes.
- Shampoo and condition your hair.
- You may need to repeat this bleaching process once more after a few days if you have dark hair to begin with and the color did not lift completely the first time around.
- Apply a toner to your hair and let it sit for the time indicated on the box before washing it off, to get rid of the orangey or brassiness tones of your hair (which usually happens when you have dark hair).
- Apply your rose gold dye to your hair following the same process that you did for bleaching your hair (except you don’t need to start applying your dye from ends first).
- Leave the color in for the time duration indicated on the box
- Wash it off with cold water until the water runs clear and then shampoo and condition it with color safe products.
- A good way to maintain your rose gold hair is to limit your hair washes, washing your hair with cold water, and adding your rose gold dye to your bottle of conditioner so that your hair color is renewed every time you condition it.
Phew! Now that you’ve managed to dye your hair rose gold, let’s look at all the beautiful and trendy ways that you can style it!
