[Hairstyle] The Best Hair Color for Your Skin Tone

Sometimes, we just need a change our hair color. Do we want to go brighter and bolder? Lighter or darker? It's really nice to play with hair color, but it's even better when we play to our attributes. A color that looks hot on your best friend may make you look washed out, and skin tone has a lot to do with it.

Determining Your Skin Tone

This can be difficult to do on your own, but most people fall into either warm or cool tones. One way to figure out your tone is after washing your face to remove all impurities, preferably in a well lit room with natural light, hold a yellow and red piece of paper and then a white, green, silver and blue piece of paper against your face.

If your skin looks more flattering with yellow/red paper test, then you’re mostly in the warm family. If your skin looks best with the green/blue/silver/white paper test, you’re mostly in the cool toned family.

Another trick is to hold your wrists out and facing up under direct sunlight. If the blood vessels seem to be greenish in color, then you are a warm tone. If they appear to have a bluish tint, then you are a cool skin tone!

If your skin tones are warm, then cooler hair colors are your best bet. These include ash browns, beige, champagne blond, dark reds such as auburn and violet and dark cool brunettes.
