Hair color is one of the first aspects other people notice, so choosing the right hair color is very important. Some people feel that you should only stick with your original hair color, but if you are feeling adventurous then you may look into dyeing your hair. Read on to learn how to choose the right hair color.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Hair
  • Hair Dye
  • Gloves
  1. Step 1

    In choosing the right hair color the first thing you should do is consider your natural hair color. Your face and appearance were genetically created so you should start with your original hair color and utilize a color wheel to move slowly away from your original color. For example you would not want to go straight from white hair to black hair.

  2. Step 2

    After you examine your hair color you should determine what colors go with your eye colors next. When looking at your eye color you should choose a hair color that goes with your eyes whether they are dark or light. Dark eyes work well with black brown or red hair and light eyes work well with white, blond, or sandy hair.

  3. Step 3

    The final factor in choosing the right hair color is to look at your skin tone. When determining hair color based on skin tone you need to decide if you have warm or cool tones. Cool tones include extreme tones like pale or dark and they work well with darker hair colors. Warm tones include more even skin tones which work with full bodied hair colors such as brown or auburn.
