Get it professionally

For those who are opting to make the change at the salon, you can give your stylist the exact directions from Appleton himself. The celebrity stylist shared the formula he used to get Stewart’s exact shade of rose gold. While the numbers may not mean much to you, whoever you get your hair done will be able to decipher it. He wrote:

“For a rose gold formula

• Hi-lights BlondeMe 9+ 20vol
• All over gloss
• 9.5-19 & 9.5-5 rose gold base
• Clear 0-00″

Do it at home

Dyeing your hair at home can be a simple, affordable way to refresh your look. Before you get started, consider your current hair color, as your natural or dyed base will determine how the rose gold shade looks on your strands.

If you have light blonde or gray hair: You’re already working with an ideal base for rose gold. A permanent or semipermanent box dye, such as L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference 8RB Medium Rose Blonde, can give you a more lasting color. For a softer, lower-commitment option, try a color-depositing mask, such as Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask in Rose Gold.

If you have darker hair: You’ll likely need to lighten your hair before applying a rose gold shade so the color can show up properly. If you plan to bleach your hair at home, carefully follow these instructions before coloring. Once your hair has been lightened, apply the rose gold dye according to the product’s instructions, paying close attention to the recommended processing time.

Want to test the color first? Start with a temporary option, such as a rose gold color spray or semipermanent dye. These formulas allow you to experiment with the shade before committing to a longer-lasting color.
