CHOOSING THE RIGHT HAIR COLOR FOR YOUR SKIN TONE

You probably know your skin tone from experience. But if you aren’t sure, it can be easy to figure out.

Skin is divided into four types: fair (pale), medium (light brown/olive), tan and dark. Your hair color can fall on any of these spectrums. Blondes tend to have higher ratios of skin-to-eye than brunettes, while redheads typically have lower ratios of skin-to-eye than brunettes because they tend to have freckles more often than brunettes do.

The best way to determine your ratio is by looking at yourself in the mirror and measuring how much of your face is covered by either eyes or skin tones:

Skin Tone

Knowing your skin tone is key to understanding how to match it with a hair color. If you have warm undertones, your skin looks best in copper or golden shades. Cool undertones look great in platinum blonde and ash brown hues, while neutral skin tones can wear any color!

Eye Color

Your eye color can change with your skin tone. For example, if you have light skin and dark hair, then people will be able to see the blue of your eyes more clearly because there is such a contrast between the two tones. If you have dark hair and light skin, then that contrast will be less noticeable and the brown of your eyes will stand out more.

The same goes for eye makeup; if you wear any kind of eyeliner or mascara (which most women do), that can make a big difference in how much attention gets drawn to your eyes. For example, black liner can make it seem like you have dark brown eyes even though they’re actually green!

FACE SHAPE

• To determine your face shape, look in the mirror and use your hands to trace out the contours of your face.
• If you have a narrow face: Hair color that helps minimizes this is a dark brown or black. This will give some definition to the jawline and make it appear more slender.
• If you have an oval or oblong shaped face: A color that blends well with these features is light brown, which creates dimension without making them stand out too much.
• If you have a square or rectangular shaped face: Go for ash-blonde shades of blond as this has neutral undertones which will not draw attention away from the finer details of your facial structure like it would if it were dyed too light or dark. The goal here is balance!

Hair Texture and Density

You have to consider your hair density, too. Hair density is a key factor in determining how much hair each strand of hair will have. For example, Asian people often have more dense (fuller and thicker) hair than other ethnicities do. When choosing a color for darker skin tones with medium or coarse textures, try a shade that’s closer to your natural root color instead of one that’s too dark. If you’re blonde-haired with fair skin and green eyes, don’t go for deep burgundy or wine shades unless you want an ombre effect!

If you have thick curls on top of a light complexion but thin strands at the bottom where they meet your scalp, then there’s no point in using highlights because they won’t show up anyway!

There are many factors to take into account when choosing the right hair color for you.

There are many factors to take into account when choosing the right hair color for you.

• Your skin tone: The most basic of all is that your hair color should suit your skin tone. It’s crucial that you don’t choose a hair color that makes you look washed out or sickly, because this can be very unflattering.
• Your eye color: If you have brown eyes, it’s likely that any colour will work well on them, but if you have blue eyes then maybe try a soft shade of blonde or light brown; however, if they’re green then avoid reds and oranges!
• Your face shape: This is definitely something worth considering before choosing a new look for yourself; for example if your face is round then maybe try balayage as this will help elongate it and give it an overall more slimming appearance. If you have narrow features then short layers with accentuated cheekbones would be best suited to complement them!
• Hair texture & density: The thickness (or lack thereof) of one’s locks also plays an important role in determining which colors will suit them best – those with fine hair may find themselves overwhelmed by anything too bold whereas those with thick strands might get away being slightly more experimental due to their ability to carry off bolder styles without appearing too heavy-handed about it!
