Have you ever wondered: "What hair color actually suits me best?" Perhaps you've already had a color analysis to discover which shades enhance your appearance. It's great to see what clothing and makeup colors do for you, but... the picture is only truly complete with the right hair color!
There's so much choice: blonde, copper, chocolate brown, honey, ash blonde... But did you know that more than half of all hair colors don't suit your natural coloring? 😲 Don't panic, in this blog you'll discover exactly which hair color will make your look shine.
Your natural color is the starting point
The short answer to the question "what hair color suits me?" is simple: your own hair color is the best basis. It matches your skin tone and eye color perfectly. But always the same thing is a bit boring, right? Fortunately, you can vary a lot, as long as you know what to look for.
When choosing a hair color, it's important to know whether you have a warm or cool color type. If you are naturally warm, then warm shades like gold, copper, or caramel will suit you best. If you have a cool undertone, then ash blonde or mother-of-pearl shades will be more flattering.
If you choose a hair color that doesn't match your natural tone, your skin might look pale, sallow, or even a bit sickly. And we certainly don't want that!
Tip: Stay close to your natural color. A shade lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler can make a world of difference.
Is your hair slowly turning gray? Then don't go too dark, a too deep shade can contrast harshly with your skin. Softer, lighter colors create a fresh, natural look.
The right hair color per color type
