If you’re ready to change up your look but love your hairstyle, try switching your color. A new hair color will completely transform your appearance to take you out of your routine. If you aren’t sure which to pick, the staff at the Fountain Spa in Ramsey will help. A professional stylist will recommend colors that will complement your natural skin tone based on a couple factors. To help you start thinking before your consultation, here’s a guide with a few tips for selecting a hair color that will look stunning on you.

Determining Your Skin Undertone 

When it comes to finding a hair color that complements you, your skin tone may be a determining factor. Those with warm undertones have yellowish hues and typically tan without burning. Those with cool skin, on the other hand, have pink undertones and tend to burn instead of tan. 

To figure out your skin tone, look at the veins on your wrists. If they appear greenish, your skin is warm-toned. If they look blue, on the other hand, your skin is cool. If the veins do not appear either green or blue, you may have a neutral skin tone, which is a blend of both.

Choosing Between Warm & Cool Colors 

Generally speaking, people with warm skin look best with warm hair colors, which are those that have a red, orange, or gold undertone. Examples include chestnut brown and strawberry blonde. Those with cool skin, on the other hand, look stunning with cool hair colors, which have black, blue, or grey undertones. Popular choices include jet black and ash blonde. 

After determining whether you should opt for a warm or cool color, it’s time to choose your specific shade. To do this, consider the natural tone of your skin. If you’re pale, a day spa stylist might recommend lighter colors, like varying degrees of blonde, to complement your skin. Those with a medium skin tone have more flexibility and can effortlessly rock both light and dark colors. If you have darker skin, consider dark colors like black and brown to bring out the shade of your eyes and skin.
