How to Choose Hair Color

General rules on how to choose hair color:

Changing one’s hair color is one of the most noticeable ways to change one’s look or to look younger; the problem is how to pick a hair color that is right for you. Although many hair color companies or salons usually push for a certain hair shade per season, one should really decide based on ones’ eye color and skin tone rather than what is popular.

As a rule of thumb for stylists those with light eyes and olive skin should choose colors in the honey colored variety. Warmer tones will look too orange on them. Rich chocolate browns complement those with olive skin but have dark eyes.

Using caramel highlights in tandem with the chocolate brown base color gives the hair more depth and makes it look livelier.

For those with pale skin, some tips are as follows: the baby blonde range should be utilized by those with lighter colored eyes. This enhances their natural skin shade and makes them look healthier. For those with darker tinted eyes the golden blonde tones will make them look rejuvenated while paler colors will make them look washed out.

Darker skinned individuals should enhance the luxuriousness of their hair color. For those with a lighter eye color, a choice from the chestnut range of colors will be able to bring out the contrast of light on dark.  You can even try highlights.

For those whose eye color is dark, hair color like chocolate brown will make the hair more sumptuous looking and its shine will bring out the richness of one’s’ eye color. When thinking about a hair color keep these basic color tips in mind and remember it is not what is popular but what looks best for you as an individual.
