There are a plenty of best hair color options for you hair according to your skin tone

Are you bored with your hair color & want a change? Then you’ve come to the right place. Choosing the best hair color according to your skin tone is really important. From my experience picking up the wrong hair color can turn into a disaster.

We usually go for the hair color which we see on celebs but what’s right for them is not always right for you. First of all, you need to know about your skin tone & then pick the best hair color accordingly.

First Determine Your Skin Tone

To check your skin tone, whether it is cool, warm, medium, please follow the given steps:

1. Wash Your Face

To accurately determine your skin’s undertones, you first need to clear your face entirely. Remove all traces of makeup that may affect your natural skin tone.

2. Choose a Well-lit Room

As our skin tone appears different under different types of light, choose a room with a large window or another source of natural light before doing this test.

3. Do a Color Test

Hold a shirt in a bright blue shade against your face, then take it down and hold up a different shirt in a bright red shade. If your skin looks better against the blue shade, you likely have cool-toned skin. If it looks better against the red shade, you have warm-toned skin.

4. Observe Your Veins

If you’re still confused about, observe the veins in your wrist. People with cool skin tones have blue or purple veins, while people with warmer skin tones have greenish veins.

Cool hair colors go best with the cool skin tone! The best suitable shades are “ash,” “platinum” and “champagne”. But you can also pull off softer warm tones like light chestnut brown.
