How To Find The Perfect Hair Color For You


Finding the perfect hair color for you is about understanding your skin tone and what looks best on you (or, well, what you truly like!)

You also have to take into account your eye color, natural hair color, and desired style to find a good fit.

In this article, I will outline how to figure out which hair colors are best for you!


 

Finding The Perfect Hair Color.

• Pick up your mobile phone or PC and try searching for "perfect hair color for…" irrespective of the browser you're using; it will auto-suggest, perfect hair color for blonde, perfect hair color for

dark skin.

This shows that ladies change their hair color frequently, but most are not doing it perfectly. You can't just decide your hair color by looking at your complexion; of course, it's part of the criteria but finding the perfect hair color goes beyond your skin complexion.

Speaking with a trichologist might be the best option for you but trust us, we have some good options for you too!


~~Let’s have a look at how you should proceed with making that choice.~~


Identify Your Skin Undertone.

•This is where most ladies get it wrong.

The fact that you're black in complexion doesn't mean black hair will fit you, and also, the fact that you're light-skinned doesn't mean your hair color should be creamy.

All these are misconceptions.You can find a perfect hair color for yourself only if you identify your skin undertone.

● Skin Examination

This is one of the perfect ways of finding the hair color that will fit you.

Make sure you carry out this examination on a bright day and in a well-lit room.

Try searching for colors like gold or pink around your body; if gold is dominant, that indicates that you have a warm undertone.

If pink is dominant, then you have a cool undertone.


In some rare cases, both gold and pink seem to be evenly distributed throughout the body, which means there is no dominant color. This means you have a neutral tone.

Then, you've very little to worry about as your skin tone goes with various colors.

Amazing, right?



● Wrist Examination

This is almost similar to the skin examination, only that you will be on the look for purple and green colors on your veins.

Make sure you carry out the examination in a well-lit room and regulate your body to be at room temperature while fixing your eyes on your veins.

If you notice a purple color, then you have a cool undertone.

If you notice a green color then, you have a warm undertone.

If you can't establish a color, you have a neutral undertone.

Eyes Examination

Lastly, the iris test can also help you determine your undertone. If you have a gold-like then, you have a cool undertone, and if you have a blue-like or green-like

iris, then it means you have a warm undertone.






 

Choosing A Color.

•Going through the write-up, you will notice we have three different types of skin tones:

1. Warm

2. Cool

3. Neutral

A neutral tone goes well with most colors, while warm and cool tones will require a little bit of finding to get the desired shade.

For a lady with a warm undertone, try out:

Dark brown

● Auburn

● Chestnut

● Caramel honey blonde

● Honey blonde

● Warm gold

● Golden brown

● Golden blonde

● Ginger

● Butterscotch brown

● Copper

These are the perfect hair colors for your skin tone to stand out in the crowd.


Also, colors like blue, violet, or purple will wash your skin tone.


So, avoid using such hair colors.

For ladies with a cool undertone, try out;

● Cherry

● Champagne blonde

● Burgundy

● Strawberry blonde

● Cool dark brown

● Raven-wing blacks

● Espresso

● Cool ash browns ● Chocolate brown

● Icy white

● Ash brown

These are perfect hair colors for your cool skin tone.


Ladies with a cool skin tone should totally avoid colors like red and yellow.


Now, you have all it takes to find the perfect hair color for yourself without having to book a session with a trichologist, but your eyes' color will determine the final hair color.


For a lady with a warm or cool tone, you could choose honey blonde or any hair color that fits the cool tone, but your eye color will make it pop or appear natural.


This shouldn't be mistaken for the eye examination.They are totally different.


So, pick a color that matches your skin tone, cross-check with eye color, and voila! You're good to go.
