How to Choose the Best Hair Color


How to choose the best hair color

For skin with pink undertones
Warm tones bring out the pink in our skin so if you’ve got redness to your skin, go for cool tones like champagne, sandy or ash blonde, or cool browns.


For kin with yellow undertones
If your skin is olive-toned or ashy, use warm gold or reds.


How about Red?
Red is the hardest color to maintain. The shade will change almost from shampoo to shampoo so be prepared for the fade.

For natural colors
To make the hair color look natural, choose coppery-reds versus blue-reds.
Think Irish setter versus red wine.

Test it before coloring
An easy way to see, rather than guess, what color your hair will come out is to take a strand test!
Take a stand of your hair from the nape of your neck and let the hair color sit on it for 20 minutes.
