Choose hair colors that match your skin tone

If you are thinking about betting on new hair colors, know that considering your skin tone is the first step to ensure a harmonious look. Yes that's right! This characteristic can influence the choice of the best hair colors to compose your look. Those with warm skin tones, for example, tend to have a yellow undertone, which blends perfectly with warmer skin tones, such as golden brown, cherry red and medium blonde. On the other hand, women with cold skin tend to have a pinkish undertone, favoring cooler hair colors such as platinum blonde and ash brown.

Tip: to identify your skin tone, the trick is to look at your forearm. If it has greenish veins, your skin tone is warm. But if bluish veins appear, your skin tone is cool. Simple, right?

Consider your natural hair color before investing in coloring

After discovering the hair colors that best suit your skin tone, it's time to understand if they are the best for your hair. At this stage, it is necessary to consider the tone height of your strands to know whether or not they can achieve the desired nuance. It turns out that according to the rules of colorimetry, coloring is able to lighten only three tones. That is: it can help lighten the strands, but it is important to keep in mind that, depending on the shades in the box and your natural hair, discoloration may be a necessary process.

If your strands are already colored, the preparation for lightening must be done with pickling. This process, which removes artificial pigments from the locks, is a little more aggressive than discoloration. Therefore, it must be done in the salon, with a trusted professional.

Start hair color transformation step by step

If you intend to radically change the tone of your locks, the universal tip is to transition hair colors little by little to get used to it. A good way out for those who want to lighten their hair, for example, is to opt for blonde, golden or reddish locks instead of coloring all of the hair. Another suggestion is to lighten only the ends of the hair using the classic ombré hair. After that, you can increase the amount of locks in the desired hair colors until you reach the expected result.
