How to Choose The Best Hair Color for Your Skin Tone



Experimenting around with hair color can be so much fun and terrifying at the same time! But, have you ever noticed certain colors make you look a bit washed out? Finding the perfect hair color means finding a shade that helps you look your best and finding the perfect hair colors for your skin tone is actually easier than you think.


·     If you have a cool skin tone, most likely you have blue, green, deep brown or grey eyes and you look stunning in bright whites paired with silver jewelry. Hair colors with a cooler pigment base like black, auburn or ash blonde will make you look your best.

·     If you have a warm skin tone, you may have hazel, brown or green eyes. You look great in warm ivories, coral and other warm colors. You also look your best in gold jewelry and hair color with similar warm tones – like honey and golden blonde.

·     If you have a deep skin tone, you probably have dark brown eyes and you look your best in bright colors. The best hair colors on you include those same deep pigments – like chocolate brown and black.

I always dyed my hair black for years and I finally found the right blonde for my skin tone. which is the pictures in this post. I use redken salon color 8n in front half and 6n half head towards the back. I like the contrast.

What do you think?

 

 

 

Do you want to go blonde like Kim Kardashian?

 

 

Many people are scared to go lighter because of what hair bleach can do to the hair. If it is not done properly it can result your hair being damaged and even breakage. I have been a hairstylist for 13 years and I believe the stylist is the one damaging the hair if she/he is not properly educated. The bleach must be done to a strand test and timed to the desired lightness. Timing is important. Not only timed but the hair shaft must be lightned first, followed by the roots then the ends. Since hair tips are typically more porous (making color absorb more quickly) and hair near the scalp is heated by body temperature (quickening the color process). Then, work up to the roots and down to the ends. Following this will create minimal hair damage.
 

HELPFUL TIPS

• Test your chosen color on a sample of hair before applying the color all over. Choose an area hidden underneath the top layers of your hair.

• Shampoo and deep condition, then wait a couple of days before coloring to allow the natural oils in your hair to build up. Your hair’s natural oils protect during the color process. Also condition your hair weely after the service.

• Trim your hair about 6 to 10 weeks. Trimmimg the ends will eliminiate split ends.

I am thinking of lightnening my hair too and if i do I will post my pics here as well. Good luck on your hair color project and I hope I helped you to decide. :)
