Best Hair Color For You
Hues are colors that exist within a spectrum of tones and trying to decide on which color looks best on you is not always easy. Your complexion will thank you for the proper hair color shade you choose.
It all comes down to which hair color is most flattering, it’s all about undertones in your skin and what you would like to emphasize. Your colorist and you will need to find out which color brings out your eyes and skin tone to give you the best look.
Color Analysis
Basic consideration of skin tones comes down to this color analysis:
- Look for specific colors. Cool tones skin has blue or olive undertones and warm-tones skin has yellow and gold.
- Check Your Wrist…If your veins are blue or purple you are likely a cool-toned, if you veins are green you are warm.
- Look at Your Eyes…If you have gold or warm colors in your eye you are warm, if you have blue or greens you are usually cool.
Pick a tone that’s opposite from your skin’s undertones. For instance, those with warm undertones might opt for a cooler color and vice versa. If you have neutral skin, everything looks good on you.
