So here are a few ideas on how to help you find that colour that is perfect for you.

Take in to account these helpful tips before choosing a colour.

We categorize our skin tone as being either warm or cool.           

Tones are based on the undertone of our skin , so look at the underside of  your arm and if your veins appear bluish you are cool toned and if they look greenish you are warm toned.

Cool tones
You have pink undertones to your skin – rose cheeks
You burn rather than Tan.
Your eyes might be blue , Grey or light green
You look good in bold colors like blue, red, pink or purple –Bright

Warm tones
You have yellow undertones to your skin
You tan instead of burning.
Your eyes may be brown, dark or green
You look lovely in browns, green yellows, orange

Lady’s with pink skin tones please avoid shades of red or golden blonde. Rather try to stick to ash tones. Ladies with a pale skin tone are lucky as they pretty much suit all hair colours.

If you are pale try not to go for black or very dark hair colours because it can make your skin look even paler then you are and you don’t want to look like casper!

If you have yellowish hues to your skin try to avoid yellow or golden tones.  It always best to stick to dark and rich reds and cool dark browns colours.

A hair color with warm tones like red or gold look best for people with brown, green & Hazel brown eyes. This is because eye colours have different bases (yellow) which suit different looks and colours.

Hair colours like light gold or ash tones are cooler and best suite people with blue or grey eyes. These eye colours have a bluish base tone.

Red /Mahogany Hair colours:
Women with cool or pink skin tones will pull this color off best.

Blonde Hair colours.
How do you know which is the right blonde shade for you? If you were light or fair as a child then you can pull blonde hair off .
The lighter your natural base colour is the easier it is becoming a blonde super star

Black or Brown Hair Colours
If you have darker and lovely skin these colours are amazing. Dark or olive skin tones works best with  black or browner shades.
