If you have a lot of gray hair and it makes your complexion look dull, it's time to change your hair color.Make sure you choose a color that works with your skin tone and shade.Determine the shade of your skin, then figure out what the undertone is.Find out what hair colors work best with your skin.The right hair color can make you look better.
Step 1: Consider the shade of your skin.
The shade of your skin is most likely pale, medium, olive, or dark/deep.This is helpful in choosing a hair color.You don't want your hair color to look washed out or not match your skin tone.
Step 2: Find your skin color.
If you don't know what your skin's undertone is, you could be in trouble.Stand in front of the mirror and wear a white shirt.If possible, stand in bright lights.You can determine the undertone by looking at the veins on your wrist.You've got cool vibes if the veins are mostly blue- purple.If they're mostly green, you have warm and neutral undertones.
Step 3: Think about the color of your skin.
Asking yourself a few simple questions will help you determine your skin's undertones.Are you better in gold or silver?You have warm undertones if you have gold.If you have silver, it's cool.What color of eyes do you have?You have warm undertones if they're green, brown, or hazel.If you have blue, grey, or green eyes, it's probably cool.
Step 4: Pick the right colors for your skin.
If you want your hair colors to look good on you, they should be at the opposite side of your skin tone on a color wheel.If you have golden skin, then an ivory blonde or an ash or mocha brown would look great on you.If you have cool skin, copper red, golden blonde, or honey brown would look great on you.If you have a neutral skin tone, then you will look best in neutral shades.
Step 5: Any warm tones need to be balanced.
If you have warm skin, choose a hair color with rich chestnut or cinnamon shades.It will help balance out the warm and yellow tones in your skin.If you have a warm, golden undertone and a lighter shade of dark skin, you can choose any hair color you want.Highlights with a red base can accent golden colors.
Step 6: Warm your skin up.
If your hair is cool, choose a hair color with warm highlights.If your hair is already dark brown or black, you want a warmer shade to add more depth to it.
Step 7: On a color wheel, choose a shade that is different from your skin tone.
You can use a color wheel to find a hair color that looks good on you.If you have pale skin, opt for warm colors, such as golden brown and copper reds.If you have tan skin, opt for cooler hair colors.
Step 8: For your hair color, choose a deep rich base.
If you have warm yellow hair, choose a hair color that leans towards chestnut, dark golden brown, auburn and mahogany.Then highlight with a red base.You may end up overemphasizing your yellow undertone if you choose a blonde base or blonde highlights.
Step 9: You can choose a color base for your hair.
If you have pink or blue tones, look for a base of brown, red, or blonde.Pick highlights that look like honey-wheat or ash.You will be able to contrast your coolness with this.Dark skin can benefit from a burgundy, cherry, or garnet hair color.They can be used as a base color or highlight color.The red hair color gives your skin a smooth look.
Step 10: You can choose a warmer hair color.
Choose a golden color for your base if you have warm or yellow skin.Pick a honey blonde, auburn, chestnut, or mocha color.If you want to bring out the warmth of your skin tone, try a warm red color.
Step 11: You can pick a hair color.
If you have olive skin, choose a hair color that highlights the cool tones.Pick an ash, platinum, copper, or violet red.If you have dark olive skin with cool undertones, avoid choosing a light ashy blonde or something similar that will contrast.
Step 12: Make your eyes look better.
Choose a color that will highlight your eyes if you have a warm eye color.If you have hazel eyes, choose a hair color that is reddish in hue in order to bring out your eyes.
