Hair Color Tips and Hints.

Finding the right color for your hair isn't as easy as you think. There are many factors to be considered. I will always recommend a professional stylist for chemical services, but I know many of you like to go down that hair color isle and venture out alone.

Your complexion should determine the shade you choose.

Dark or Olive Skin:

If you want to do an auburn color- cool colors fit best- anything too warm can make you appear orangey.

Rich browns and cool reds will look great on deeper complexions.

If you want to go blonde- visit your stylist! This is a pro-job only!

Medium Tones:

Keep cool and ash browns in mind when selecting a shade.

Lighter eyes? Cool reds look fabulous! If they are darker, think of mahogany hues or mocha highlights, cinnamon shades too!

Fair Skin:

Honey Blondes, neutral blondes. Warm colors.

Warm Brunettes, warm reds- avoid cool reds on fair skin.

• Don't ignore the shade guide- trying to go too light on dark hair will lead to brassy, copper penny hair. Pale blonds will absorb color very differently than brunettes.
• 
  
• Don't go too drastic- very light hair going dark brown or black can be shocking and will require professional help to correct.
• 
  
• Don't change your color right before a big event- give yourself time to adjust or if need be- time to get it fixed.
• 
  
• Don't run out of product- it's better to have too much than not enough- trying to stretch one bottle of color on thick long tresses will result in blotchy uneven color.
• 
  
• Don't try to change color on previously colored hair- Go to a professional. Saving money on that $10.00 color can lead to hundreds with color correction.
