How to Choose the Right Blond Haircolor for your Hair

Becoming a blond can be a life changing experience if you choose the right blonde haircolor for your hair, however, it can also be disastrous if you get it wrong. Blonds can have more fun when they have beautiful, shiny hair that compliments their skin and has the right underlying tones. Here are some steps for choosing the right blond haircolor.

Instructions

1. Pick a color that will compliment your skin tone. If you have a pinkish underlying tone, opt for colors that are have ash, beige or champagne color tones to eliminate red. For those with yellow undertones, use color with a blue-green base to counteract the yellow in your skin. If your face is pale and lacks color consider adding tint with red and gold tones to brighten your skin.

2. Go to a local beauty supply and test color swatches up against your face. Place them at your temple and around the eyebrow area to see how they compliment your existing hair tones and eye color.

3. Consider your natural color. If your own hair has certain tones that you do not want, choose a color that has the opposite underlying base (on the color wheel) to counteract those tones.

4. Pay attention to how many levels the color will lift. If your hair is a dark brown, you will not obtain a light blond with any color. Most colors will lift (or lighten) up to 4 levels only. If you need to lighten more than this, you may need to remove your existing haircolor with bleach before applying a color.

5. Purchase high lift or regular colors in a beauty supply where you can consult with knowledgeable associates who can help you to pick color tones that will compliment your skin and ultimately choose the right blond haircolor for your hair.
