Hair color is not just to hide your gray hair. Most women find that a new hair color improves their mood and makes their hair look beautiful. However, which hair color suits your hair best is often the confusion. Here is a guide to choosing the most flattering color for your hair.

You may be a color newbie or a pro, but that’s not a good enough reason to choose the blondest or blackest color for your hair. To get the best idea of hair color, check out some childhood photos. Going back to your childhood hair color is a great way to get your youthful glory.

Sure, you want to try a new color that you’ve never had before, but just check your complexion and eye color before that. While fair-skinned people with light eyes can easily pull off the widest range of hair colors, the wrong dark shade can ruin the look. People with a warm or olive skin tone should not wear hair colors that are too light. Golden tones look more flattering on women with an ash-pink skin tone.
-
If you’re not sure what hair color to choose, try a temporary dye. While temporary colors wash out with a single shampoo, demi-permanent colors wash out in 18-20 washes. Since these colors do not have ammonia, they do not penetrate deeper into the hair shaft. You can use them to get gold or red highlights or have darker hair, but you can’t lighten them with them.

Permanent colors can give you your desired shade of blonde, brunette, shiny black, or red hair with easy-to-use at-home color kits. However, to shade three different shades from your natural hair color, you must visit a professional hair coloring salon.

If you want to dry a darker tone, it is advisable to take small steps. Do not try to go from a blonde person to a jet black person, you may not like the immediate transition. Try darkening a few shades at a time. Also, dark tones can make you look older than your age.

Red is one of the boldest and most difficult colors to achieve. Blue reds tend to look unnatural. Instead, go for cedar reds, which are typically warm, bright colors. Henna, made from a plant, is a great way to add a red hue to your hair.
-
While the new trend of blonde hair with dark roots is all the rage, it’s hard to pull off. Instead, ask your stylist to bleach your natural color and then apply a new blonde color. Then you can go two or three shades darker if you want.
-
Highlighting and soft lighting can be tricky when done at home by amateur hands. To avoid uneven results, visit a salon and request highlights and highlights. While deep color adds depth, lighter shades make your hair more vibrant.
-
Gray coverage can be done with both permanent and semi-permanent colors. If you have recently started to go gray, try a semi-permanent color. If you have more than a quarter gray, try a Stinger semi-permanent color. If your hair is mostly gray, choose a permanent color every six weeks.
-
You can have glamorous hair by dyeing it with the right type at home. Don’t let the bleach sit in your hair for too long, as it will leave your hair brittle and porous. Read the instructions before coloring.
-
If you plan to get a perm or straighten your hair, allow 7-10 days between chemical treatments and hair coloring. Do a strand test to see color reactions on permed or straightened hair.
-
If you’ve tried going too light or too dark, you might end up with a not-so-glamorous result. Instead, head to a salon to fix the problem rather than do it at home.
-
If you’re pregnant but still want to dye your hair, wait until your second trimester. Also, avoid dyes with ammonia or peroxide. Highlights are a great way to add zing to your hair without touching your scalp.

Colored hair needs a special area. Use shampoos and conditioners specially formulated for colored hair. Avoid strong sun rays or heating hair tools. Red colors tend to fade quickly under heat.
