Using color on your hair at all really requires you to think through how you style. Color depositing masks tend to be the safest bet, although admittedly they aren’t very inclusive in their ability to work on all hair colors and textures. I’m personally not a big fan of using actual box dyes to get rose gold hair at home. Hair dye is such a tricky and fickle beast. I’d also be a little cautious using this product if you’re a true platinum blonde, as the lightest shades of blonde do soak up color more quickly (you may end up with a little more pink than you were bargaining for). Unfortunately if you have brown hair or really anything darker than blonde, the color won’t absorb and take. This product is definitely explicitly labeled for light to medium blonde hair only – and they mean business. It’s for that very reason that I set out to find the best way to DIY rose gold hair at home! The Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask in the shade Rose Gold is hands down my favorite way to get rose gold tones in my hair at home. Trips to the salon aren’t always convenient or affordable.

Rose gold color can definitely be done with a straight dye (I’ve seen photos of rose gold balayage circulating around) – but I really just wanted a “natural” rose gold look, almost as if just lightly kissed by the color.

When I went rose gold in a salon, my stylist made the call to execute our standard balayage appointment and utilize a rose gold toner to top it off. Adding a rose gold toner to your normal color appointment. Stylists can help you discern what styles and trends are right for you not just in the short run, but long term. My hair soaks up black and dark brunette for example – but it’s nearly impossible to go back to blonde without chopping off the majority of my hair. Not every dye color is perfect for every natural hair color. Different hair colors and textures can take on dye differently. I really recommend consulting with a stylist before making any dramatic color changes to your hair – always. Although I’m not typically a fan of super warm shades on myself, when I had my rose gold hair color done in a salon we opted for a slightly warm rose gold tone to flatter my skin.

Salon stylists can help you choose the appropriate rose gold shade for your skin tone so that it’s flattering. It’s definitely fun to dabble in at home color (we’ll talk about my favorite options later in this post), but sometimes this is where having a stylist with a well trained eye is best. Even within the pink family, there are more pastel pink shades, light rose shades, metallic rose gold shades, cropper rose gold, or even slightly more lavender shades. Rose gold can lean more gold or more pink. If you’re committed to the rose gold hair lifestyle – yay! You just need to think through what shade you’d like.

If doing rose gold highlights, you may not need as frequent root touch ups, but you might want toner to help keep the color looking vibrant and fresh. If you’re going full rose gold, your roots will need regular touch ups. From the initial color to any touchups you may want in the future, cost is definitely something to consider when making the call to go rose gold. That said – salon color inherently costs more.
