Strawberry shortcake, cotton candy, sparkling rosé – call this shade what you will, but the delicate pink updo is our guilty pleasure when it comes to color transitions. These vibrant pink locks steal the stage with their peachy goodness, leaving the web hungry for the stylist’s secret color formula. We can’t blame them, because we’d like a piece of that, too.

It’s no surprise that hairstylist and beauty salon owner Kara Williams, aka @haircolorkilla, keeps her formula to herself, giving her fans only a glimpse of what goes on behind the chair. Get ready, because she ate this hair color transformation and there were no crumbs left behind.

Experts say that vibrant hues and bold colors will take over this year amid the growing desire for self-expression and bold styles. Kara Williams is jumping on this rising trend and mastering it with an expert hand. The colorist opts for a rose gold base by combining a light blonde deep copper shade with a light golden copper blonde shade for the roots.

The permanent cream hair color offers exceptional gray coverage, so it also works well with the client’s naturally dark locks. The bleached ends are easier to tame because they absorb the pigment faster. The colorist blends the roots with the peachy pink shade to create a melting effect with a lived-in dimension. The final color perfectly complements the model’s caramel skin tone and emphasizes coppery undertones.
