HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR PERFECT HAIR COLOUR

Okay, so the major deciding factor when choosing your perfect hair colour is your skin tone. So, before we get into how to choose your perfect hair colour, let's take a look at the characteristics of each different skin tone!

SKIN TONE TEST

Much like makeup, we choose shades depending on the undertone of our skin. To determine whether you have cool or warm undertones, do this quick test! Take a look at the insides of your wrists. If your veins appear more blue, you have pink/cooler undertones. Otherwise, if they pull more green, you have warmer/yellow or golden undertones.

The second key factor is the shade of your hair. Whether you are the palest of pale, or the darkest of dark, this plays a big key when wondering how to choose your perfect hair colour.

GENERAL GUIDE

  • If you have olive skin, you have a warm/golden undertones. To compliment this, choose rich tones like beigy blonde, caramel or rich browns. Highlights always look beautiful with olive skin!

  • If you have pale skin, chances are you have a cooler/pink undertone. If so, stick with cool shades such as cherry red and icy blonde. These ashier shades will suit perfectly with your skin tone.

  • If you have medium to light skin with honey undertones, warm shades are your colour of choice. Go for copper, reddish brown or honey blonde shades.

  • If your skin is dark, go for auburn, golden brown or rich black hues. These richer shades will compliment your deep skin tone.

SWITCH IT UP

We had recommended basing your hair colour of your skin tone. However, you can choose certain shades to warm up your complexion or create the illusion of more pale skin! If you do have pale skin, why not go for a rich colour to warm up your skin! And if you're looking for more pale, porcelain-like skin, go with black hair! Contrasting hair colours can make a big difference to your overall appreance!
