How to Get a Perfect Color Match Every TimeWondering how to pick a hair color? Here are six questions to ask yourself before you color |
What Is Your Natural Hair Color? You might not love the hair color you were born with, but it's a good indicator of what hair colors will suit you. Experts say that the most flattering hair colors are within two shades of your natural color. For instance, a dark blonde could totally work pale blond or strawberry blond hair; likewise, someone with medium brown hair may look great as a deep brunette.
Colorist Nicole Berry of George the Salon in Chicago advises being conservative if you're using at-home hair color. "Don't go more than one shade darker or one shade lighter using at-home hair color," she says.
Your natural color may also give you a clue about whether to pick a warm or cool hair color. If you're a light, caramel-y brown, you would probably be an amazing golden blonde. If you have true blue-black hair, you could probably pull off an espresso brown.
