How to find the Right Color to Highlight your Hair
While it can be very tempting to pick a hair color on a whim, you would be better of working with what nature gave you. Knowing what color is right for highlighting your hair can be difficult if you do not have the knowledge or experience. Luckily, that is what we are here to help you with. Read on to discover how to choose the best hair highlights for you.
What’s your skin tone? The first thing you need to do is determine what your skin tone is. There is a lot of confusing rhetoric and debate in the beauty world when it comes to skin tone. Because of this, you may not know what skin tone you have, especially if you have read lots of descriptions and nothing seems to fit you. It is a good idea to have a consultation with a skin specialist who will be able to tell you what skin tone you have. Skin tone comes down to interesting science. The amount of melanin in your skin determines whether you have a warm or cool skin tone. Warm skin has a yellow undertone, with orange-brown melanin dominant. Cool skin has a blue undertone, with blue-brown melanin dominant. Your natural eye color and hair color can help you to determine your natural skin tone.
Dark cool skin
You have dark cool skin if the following applies:
Your natural hair color is brown or black, with no red or auburn tones at the root
You do not have natural rosy cheeks
You have olive or clear white skin
There are a few highlight options available to you if you have this skin tone. Soft, ashed-toned highlights will look beautiful.
Light cool skin
You have light cool skin if the following applies:
Your natural hair color is dirty blonde, dark blonde, or light blonde, and at the root you do not have any visible orange tones
You have naturally rosy cheeks
You have light olive skin or fair skin, yet you tend to tan rather than burn
If this applies to you, balayage, beachy highlights will look beautiful.
Dark warm skin
You have dark warm skin if the following applies:
Your natural hair color is brown, carrot-top red, copper, or auburn, with red undertones at the root
Cheeks are typically without a lot of color
Your skin tends to burn easily in the sun
You have fair skin with or without freckles
If this applies to you, you can add richness and shine with highlights with an Auburn or deep red shade.
Light warm skin
You have light warm skin if the following applies:
Your natural hair color is golden or strawberry blonde with orange tones from the roots
You have rosy cheeks and may blush easily
You have peachy pink, creamy ivory skin with or without freckles
The best highlights for you are natural and bright golden highlights throughout your hair.
