Looking beautiful

As for the selection of the actual hair color that is right for you, keep in mind your skin tones and eye color. Hair color that complements your natural skin tones will help you to look your best. If you have an olive, reddish brown, light or rosy skin tone and eyes that are hazel, blue-gray, green, or blue, for example, choose cool colors. For you, hair colors of complimentary tone will generally contain the word “neutral” or “ash in the description.

You will want a warmer depth to your hair color if you have medium golden, golden brown or darker hair.  In addition, warmer colors will compliment you if you have eyes that are deep brown, brown, or hazel. You will want to check the hair color packages you are going to use for words like “warm” or “reddish” on the descriptors.

Perhaps you do not wish to make a dramatic change. If that is the case, there are still rules for making your selections. For instance, if you are coloring merely to highlight your natural hair color, choose the shade you can find that is closest to your natural hair color. If you want to subtly lighten your hair, look for a shade that is approximately two levels lighter than your natural color, which will provide subtle and natural change. If you want to cover gray, consider, once again, a shade close to your own natural hair color. Your other option is to use a color that is one shade lighter than your hair to turn the gray into highlights.

Hair coloring can be valuable and fun. Use it to hide gray, give yourself a makeover, or just go with a whole new look. Be sure, though, before making the plunge, to find the proper color for you. Use your skin tone, natural hair color, and eyes to make a decision that will have you looking your very best. With proper care and color selection, you can create a new look that is natural and complimentary.
