hey OP, so here's what you need for pastel hair.

Bleach the fuck out of it, it needs to be platinum blonde. Use a color stripper and bleach 3 - 4 times (depending on your hair type) over a month until you are golden blonde. Then use a toner (manic panic ultra violet mixed 1/16 with cheap conditioner is super cheap way to do it) to cancel out your brassy tones. You'll be left with either white or silvery hair, then you can dye it with 1/3 regular dye mixed with conditioner to get pastel color. However pastel requires lots of upkeep, as it fades really quickly. So either go for a more prominent color to begin with and let it fade (recolor once a month or two) or pastel straight away and touch up with deep conditioning + touch of color every week.

Also pink will never fade completely, I did my hair as pic related in about May and it's still clearly peachy in the ends. Going to try a color stripper but it's really stubborn. Pardon the neon lighting.
