How To Choose The Right Hair Colour

By on November 16, 2011

Hair colour has become a rage with more and more women opting for coloured hair than ever. It has become a fashion statement and has very little to do with grey coverage.

Choosing the wrong hair colour can not only make you look horrendous but also spoil and damage your mane. It is therefore very important to choose the right hair colour to go with your overall look.

Tips To Choose The Right Hair Colour

Choosing A Brown Colour

Browns do not look too good on every one and one has to be selective in the selection of browns as a hair colour. If your hair lacks the vibrancy that a brown hue needs, it is better off staying as close to natural as possible.

Choosing A Brown hair Colour

Browns are also a better bet than other hair colours, as they are easy to maintain. If easy hair care maintenance is what you are looking for then choosing a warm brown may just be what your hair needs.

Damaged Hair

A dark brown is a good option for dull and damaged hair, as darker shades tend to hide the damage pretty well. Make sure you choose a colour that is closest to your natural hair colour or a shade or two darker. Olive skin tones look great with deeper shades of brown. A toasty brown goes well with fair skin.

Brunette Hair Colours

If shades close to black are what you are looking for it is better to go to a professional hair stylist who will help you select one. Go in for single and deeper monotone if your hair is one length.

This will give your hair colour a luxuriant look. If you have wavy hair then colour the tips of your hair with a colour that is a shade lighter then what you use all over your hair.

Brunette Hair Colours

If you are not able to get the perfect colour, it is ok to blend in a warm tone with a neutral tone to get the right hue. Shiny brunette hair is best without the use of hair spray, which tends to spoil the hair colour.

A dark black hair colour can be offset with brilliant black mascara and jewel tones for eye makeup, which makes the hair colour, look vivacious and brilliant. If your complexion appears too pasty, use shimmer and bronzer to make your skin come alive.

Reds Hair Colour

This is one tricky colour. Red hues look brilliant but it takes a lot to carry off the colour. Reds look best on rosy and pink complexions, which are brilliantly contrasted with a deep red monotone in the hair. Women with darker golden and olive skins may have to scrounge around a bit to find the perfect red colour that will look nice on their skin tone.

One golden rule to red hair is not to be self-conscious but to carry it off with panache. Red is a mesmerizing colour and can invite many stares. So choose red only if you can handle the attention. Red hair colour looks best on well-cared-for hair.

Reds Hair Colour

If your hair is dry or damaged, the red colour molecules will simply not stay on your hair and will be washed off in no time. The best tips to care for red hair is to wash them as infrequently as you can and go in for deep conditioning treatments that will moisturize dull and dry hair.

This will make the colour look more ravishing. Use tepid water and mild shampoos to wash hair. Do not heat style red hair. Cover and protect red hair as it oxidizes very fast.
