Hair colour can not only completely transform your whole look but it can make a huge difference when it comes to how you feel about yourself.
Did you know that our locks have the power to brighten complexion, add dimension and even make us appear younger? It’s a minefield though ¬– with so many colours to choose from, how can we pick the one that’s perfect for our skin tone?
Let’s break down some tips to help you pick the perfect shades.
Firstly, it’s important to determine your skin tone. While there are many different ways to do this, a simple trick is to look at your wrists. If your veins appear blue, you likely have a cool skin tone. If they appear green, you probably have a warm skin tone. If you can’t tell, you might have a neutral skin tone.
Unsurprisingly, if you have a cool skin tone, colours that have cool undertones will suit you most whereas warmer tones are likely to wash you out. Ash blonde, brunette with cool tones, reddish-brown, black and platinum blonde are your friends.
If you have a warm skin tone, you’ll look great with colours that have warm undertones, such as caramel, auburn, honey brown and golden blonde. Cooler, ashier shades might clash with your skin tone and make you look sallow.
If you have a neutral skin tone, you’re lucky as you can pretty much pull off any hair colour. However, you might want to experiment with different shades to see which ones make you feel most confident.
In addition to your skin tone, there are a few other factors to consider when choosing a hair colour such as your eye colour and your lifestyle! Ultimately though, it’s important to choose a hair colour that you know you’ll feel amazing wearing day after day. Don’t pick a hair colour if you think you might feel self-conscious until your next hair appointment.
The best way to find your perfect hair colour is to consult with a professional stylist. We can assess your skin tone, eye colour, and lifestyle to help you choose a shade that’s flattering and suits your personality.
