Discover Which Shade is the Best Hair Color for You?

Your skin tone has been handed down to you from generation to generation. The hue of your skin affects more than just whether you burn in the sun or tick a certain box on the census, as you may not immediately notice. Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment that gives your skin, hair, and eyes their color. It also determines which cosmetic colors you suit the best and the most flattering hair color. To choose the best hair color for your hair, consider the following:

Undertones vs. skin tones

It may be more challenging to determine which colors look best on you than if you have a fair, medium, or dark skin tone. The skin exterior color, undertone, and tone are all present. Finding your undertone, or the subtle shade that lies under the surface of your skin, is the key to choosing your perfect hair color.

How to Determine Your Skin Undertone

The three hues referred to as undertones are neutral, warm, and cold. Neutral undertones are often balanced between blue and yellow and look closer to the skin surface tone. Warm undertones make the skin appear peachy, yellow, or golden. Cool undertones have a blue, pink, or red tint. 

Your Eyes Count

Cool skin undertones are often seen with light brown or grey eyes, and naturally, brown or black hair matters with ash undertones. You have warm undertones if you have strawberry blonde, auburn, brown, or black hair with touches of red, copper, or golden tones and brown, amber, or hazel eyes. Knowing this will enable you to choose the best shade for your hair color.

Take a Look at your Jewelry Selection

Whether glitzy or subtle, your jewelry selection might reveal your skin undertone. Jewelry made of silver, platinum, and rose gold, as opposed to gold, often flatters complexion with cool undertones more than warm undertones. You may probably infer that you are neutral if your jewelry collection contains a variety of metals. Such jewels will enable you to choose the best shade for your hair color.
