The Breakout Quarantine Hair Color Trend No One Saw Coming

Since most hair salons remain closed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people are turning to at-home color. This might lead you to believe that root touch-up kits and subtle, natural-looking box dyes would be in the highest demand, but the biggest quarantine color trend is actually shaping up to be a whimsical shade of pastel pink.

Of course, considering the fact that it's mid May and pink is a universally-flattering shade for every complexion, plus how many DIY options are already available, it makes perfect sense.

For proof, we've rounded up some of the biggest stars that have gone pink in quarantine. From trendsetters like Dua Lipa and Keke Palmer, to Bravolebrities like Teddi Mellencamp, scroll ahead for everything you need to know about the self-isolation hair trend. Plus, shop the best semi-permanent dyes and temporary rose-gold tints that can help you cop the look from your own bathroom.

Teddi Mellencamp

The RHOBH star (and new mom of three) just showed off a fresh rose-gold dye job, referring to it as her post-baby transformation. "After having a baby, I always do something drastic with my hair," Mellencamp captioned her latest selfie. "This time, I thought pink!"

Overtone Coloring Conditioner

The reality-show star and accountability coach credited her subtle quarantine tint to Overtone's Coloring Conditioner in the shade Pastel Pink.

Gellar dyed her signature blonde hair an ombré pink in an effort to humiliate her kids. Whether or not embarrassment ensued is unclear, but the internet was most certainly in full support of a pink-haired Buffy.
