How to Determine Your Skin Tone

The first step in finding the right hair colour for you is to determine your skin tone. Here's how:

1. Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you have cool undertones. If they appear green, you have warm undertones. If you can't tell, you may have neutral undertones.
2. Hold up a piece of white paper next to your face. If your skin looks yellow or golden, you have warm undertones. If it looks pink or rosy, you have cool undertones. If it looks like a combination of both, you have neutral undertones.
3. Consider how your skin reacts to the sun. If you tend to burn easily and don't tan, you have cool undertones. If you tan easily, you have warm undertones.

Warm Skin Tones

If you have warm undertones, your skin will have a golden or yellowish hue. Hair colours that complement warm skin tones include:

• Honey blonde
• Caramel
• Copper
• Auburn
• Warm brown

Cool Skin Tones

If you have cool undertones, your skin will have a pink or rosy hue. Hair colours that complement cool skin tones include:

• Platinum blonde
• Ash blonde
• Jet black
• Cool brown
• Burgundy

Neutral Skin Tones

If you have neutral undertones, your skin will have a combination of both warm and cool hues. Hair colours that complement neutral skin tones include:

• Chocolate brown
• Golden blonde
• Chestnut
• Neutral brown
• Warm highlights

Hair Colours for Warm Skin Tones

If you have warm undertones, you can experiment with warm shades like honey blonde, caramel, copper, auburn, and warm brown. These colours will bring out the golden or yellowish hues in your skin and make you look radiant.

Hair Colours for Cool Skin Tones

If you have cool undertones, you can experiment with cool shades like platinum blonde, ash blonde, jet black, cool brown, and burgundy. These colours will bring out the pink or rosy hues in your skin and make you look vibrant.

Hair Colours for Neutral Skin Tones

If you have neutral undertones, you can experiment with a variety of shades like chocolate brown, golden blonde, chestnut, neutral brown, and warm highlights. These colours will complement both the warm and cool hues in your skin and make you look balanced.

Tips for Choosing Hair Colour

Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing a hair colour:

• Consider your natural hair colour. It's always easier to go a few shades lighter or darker than to make a drastic change.
• Think about maintenance. If you don't want to spend a lot of time and money on upkeep, choose a colour that is close to your natural shade.
• Consult a professional. A hairstylist can help you choose a colour that will complement your skin tone and give you the look you want.
