Haircolor How To: Jenny McCarthy's Hot Pink Hair

Jennymccarthy

Jenny McCarthy switched up her trademark blonde locks for bright, nearly-neon pink strands, debuting the hot new look at a recent appearance. According to Keratin Complex International Creative Team Member, Abraham Sprinkle, "With the demand of jewel-toned colors, hairstylists are facing the battle of not only how to execute it, but also [how to] achieve color longevity. It has become very easy for consumers to replicate these tones but after a few shampoos, they end up with an uneven, splotchy mess due to having to color over the bleached-out base required. As stylists, we have many strategies to combat this. Hot pink would use a combination dye molecule: Direct (which are what most consumers would use) and oxidized color; both types of dye help with the lifespan of vibrancy by driving one color deep inside the hair shaft while the other sets on the surface. The combination of these two act like an insurance policy against fading."

To achieve this bright level of pink-ness, Abraham worked up a formula that mimics McCarthy's new hue:
