With so many hues, shades, tones, and tints of every color to choose from, as well as a mix/blend of these, finding the perfect hair color can be a struggle. Below are 3 tips to help you find the hair of that fits you best.
1. KNOW YOUR SKIN'S UNDERTONES
Your skin has either warm, cool, or neutral undertones and it aids in choosing which color direction to go. If you don’t know your undertone, take a look at your wrist. If your veins are more on the green side, then you have warm undertones. If they’re blue or purple, you have cool undertones. If it doesn't fall into any color and blends in with your skin, that means you have neutral undertones. People with warm undertones should go for shades like chestnut, dark auburn, or rich chocolate. Cool undertones are complemented by gold, caramel, or honey shades. Neutral undertones can pull off jet black, espresso, or blue-black.
2. CHECK OUT A CELEB
If you’re not too sure about your undertones, you can always find a celebrity with a similar skin tone and look at the hair colors they’ve had over the years. Maybe you have warm undertones like Beyonce or JLo. Or neutral like Selena Gomez and Kerry Washington. How about cool undertones like Anne Hathaway and Mindy Kaling? With so many public figures to draw inspiration, from actors and singers, to social media influencers and internet personalities, you're sure to find a color or a few colors that will look amazing on you!
3. YOUR EYES!
It may come as a surprise but your eye color can actually help make your hair color look more natural, as if you were born with it. Deep browns and burgundy are ideal for blue eyes, especially if you want them to stand out. Green eyes are highlighted with rich browns, coppery reds, and soft blondes. Golden browns, copper, and ashy or strawberry blonde typically look best with brown eyes. Warm colors like hazelnut and rich auburns will make the golden flakes in hazel eyes shimmer and glisten.
We hope these tips help you find that perfect hair color match.
