Before dyeing your locks, consult with a professional stylist who can assist in crafting an individual look tailored to suit your skin tone and complexion.
Apricot hair color stands out most strongly when applied to light blonde or platinum locks, though darker base shades could benefit from face-framing babylights for added dimension. If this is your goal, consult your stylist on adding face-framing babylights as a solution.
Rose Apricot
John Masters Organics Hair Milk with Rose and Apricot is an intensive leave-in treatment and styler designed to protect and soften strands, leaving them shiny and more manageable. Formulated from apricot kernel oil and organic rose water, this nourishing hair milk is suitable for all hair types while helping balance moisture levels, repair split ends, cleanse scalps and cleanse pores.
Light apricot blush pairs perfectly with olive skin, softening freckles and accentuating coppery tones in green eyes. Additionally, this shade looks wonderful on those with neutral complexions as it enhances pink lips.
Experts agree that for the perfect peach hair color, you should avoid either fiery orange or bubblegum pink hues and opt for more subdued combinations of both to get that soft peach hue that doesn’t look like an alien unicorn. Frank Friscioni from Oon Arvelo salon in New York City suggests this method as the optimal way of creating soft hues while not looking like one.
Pastel Apricot
Light shades like this one add a delicate blush of color to the cheeks, as well as brighten hazel or green eyes, complement freckles beautifully, and bring out gold flecks in brown hair.
Pink and lilac unicorn colors may dominate Instagram feeds, but another pretty pastel is quietly making waves: peach. As a cool-toned version of nursery pink, peach offers the ideal opportunity to try this trend without going overboard.
As with other vibrant hues, achieving the shade apricot requires bleaching. Garrett advises that those with naturally light or pre-lightened locks would benefit most as bleaching may be damaging.
No matter the base shade of your hair, regular touch-up appointments should be scheduled at least every 2-3 weeks to maintain an apricot hue. After these visits, be sure to use shampoo, conditioner, and a mask specifically formulated for color-treated locks to keep the color looking its best.
Raspberry Apricot
Raspberries add an inviting pop of color to your strands with their vibrant hue combining rich red and purple tones for an eye-catching look that showcases your fashion-forward sensibility.
Soft pastel tones of pink apricot make this hue pop on lighter complexions, such as Korean actress Park Shin-hye who recently rocked it by sporting rose apricot hair color that perfectly complemented her warm skin tone.
Raspberry hair color works wonders with medium and darker complexions, as SKY Castle star Kim Bo-ra proves. She chose a vibrant peach hue which brought an instant burst of life to her light brown locks while adding depth.
