With candy floss hues reigning supreme for Summer 2016, shades of pink have gradually made their way from the runway to the hair salon. This season, beauty lovers are adorning their heads with confectionery shades of pastel pink.

Recently, 18-year-old actress Elle Fanning transformed her icy blonde locks into a chic, rosy pink long bob. With her dainty bone structure and porcelain complexion, the girlish hair colour is certainly a gorgeous fit for the young star.

However, blush-coloured manes aren’t exclusively a look reserved for celebrity youth. On Instagram, hairstyling addicts have been embracing the trend in all of its glory. From darker pink locks accented with lavender ends to integrated tones of magenta and light pink, this hair trend is quickly making a splash.

While some hair chameleons may be experimenting with bold, funky pinks or combining their colour with other rainbow hues, you can also rock softly coloured strands. Rose, salmon and peach shades are just as striking, and can easily refresh blond locks. Meanwhile, brunettes may prefer vibrant fuchsia or hot pink streaks for a striking effect.

If you’re dreaming of 50 shades of pink this season, look no further than the many variations on this hair colour trend. Here are a few examples from social media to help inspire your ultimate summer hair makeover.
