With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, people are doing tons of different things to show their support for those who are battling the awful disease. From tutus to tattoos to makeup looks, people are thinking pink and raising awareness in a plethora of different forms. It is pretty common for businesses to offer specific products that donate to the cause during this time of year. For example, H&M recently released bras designed for women who have had mastectomies and profits will go toward the cause. People also participate in various walks and events that are meant to raise money for breast cancer research.
With that being said, fashion and beauty are a way of expressing ourselves, and they can also be a tool for making a statement. During October, we can get the conversation started around breast cancer, and those who have or still are dealing with it, by using fashion and beauty. Whether it is a pink ribbon pinned on a jacket, a pink work uniform, or pink hair, when people compliment it or ask about it, we can use that to spread awareness.
And speaking of pink hair, that trend is taking over Instagram for the month of October and we are loving it. Many people have called up their hairdressers and asked for pink tips, pink pixies, and pink ombrés. Of course pink hair is a fun style statement year-round, but this time of year is a particularly good time for it — especially when we are using it to get people to donate or do a little extra research. So, we gathered 20 different pink hairstyles that everyone should totally try this month. Whether it's dye, a wig, or a temporary spray, pink hair may be just the thing to get people's attention and tell them about the importance of breast cancer research.
Pale Pink
For people who want a lighter look, this pale pink might be perfect. It is pretty and perfect for showing support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Rose Gold Bob
Rose gold has been a huge trend lately, so why not turn it into a bold hair look? This fierce rose hold hair is cut into a blunt bob.
Pink Pixie
Or how about a pink pixie cut to show support for breast cancer awareness? This hairstyle is effortlessly cool.
Pink Tips
Pink tips are a smart choice for this time of year because they are minimal commitment and a really fun touch.
Peachy Coral
For a more unusual shade of pink hair, try something like this peachy coral color. It's stunning!
Highly Pigmented Pink
People can have their support really stand out with a super pigmented pink color. This bright hair looks really pretty with the fall leaves.
Pink Space Buns
Whether one is rocking a pink wig or dyed their hair pink, the actual hairstyle can really make the color pop. These space buns and bang highlights are really distinctive.
Half Pink Half Purple
This style takes a different route with a half pink, half purple look. This idea can be pulled off with any two colors, but we like that she went with a soft pink and purple to complement it.
Pink Hair With Dark Roots
This bright pink top knot really stands out with the contrasting dark roots. This is another great hairstyle to try in October.
Subtle Pink Accents
For those who want something more subtle, but they still want to go pink for breast cancer awareness, try a really light pink highlight against blond hair. It blends really nicely.
All Over Magenta
Another shade of pink to try is magenta. This deeper pink color has a purple undertone and it's sure to turn heads.
Pink & Gray Hair
Pink also looks great with gray. This woman is showing her support for breast cancer awareness with some light pink streaks throughout her hair.
Pink Curls
Make it fashion! These gorgeous pink curls are raising awareness in the most stylish way. It looks incredible.
Pink and Orange Sunset
Another striking take on the pink hair is this colorful sunset look. It's a combination of a vibrant orange and a hot pink shade.
Pink Ombré
This pink ombré hair combines various shades of pink for a dramatic, stand-out look. The ombré hair trend is still going strong, so why not give it a fun, pink twist?
Thin Pink Streaks
Another simple, yet brilliant idea is to just add a few pink strands near the face. These can be done with dye or clip-ins.
Pink Top Layer
This look only has pink on the top layer of the hair. Although the bottom half could be left natural, we like the second fun color underneath.
Pink Balayage
This pink balayage is stunning. The different shades are the perfect mix and they are sure to get a conversation started about breast cancer awareness.
Pink Center
This look has pink focused in the center area, with purple taking up most of the length and sides. It is a more blunt ombré style and we're totally into it.
Pink Highlights
These ribbons of pink add a nice pop of color to her light blond hair. Highlights or peak-a-boos are a fun way to show support without dyeing the whole head.
