Funny how we fuss over a bunch of dead cells! But, yes we do. Black or brown, hair has been the prime factor of cosmetic enhancement for everyone. You can color them, cut them, comb them or curl them, hair is the best accessory that can decide the way you look. If you have brown hair, wearing the same color at every occasion, for every look, can seem monotonous. Thus experimenting with brown shades is a great idea, to wear different looks and different hairstyles. Picking a hair color, can seem like a daunting task. But as you have your heart set on the idea of changing hair color, here's a professional guide to help you with right hair color for you.
Choosing Colors
First things first, the colors and the photographs on the boxes are highly deceptive. They do little to help you out. Thus, try another method of finding out. Talk to your friends and go to a hair salon to get the right opinion. The hair dressers are right people to get in touch with, if you want to make a bold statement of changing hair color.
Fair Skin
Fair skin is usually termed as a cool skin tone. A change of hair color can make or break the aesthetics of your complexion. Brown hair colors are available in a myriad hues and tinges. Avoid wearing gold, copper or auburn hair shades for fair skin. They will make your skin color look weirdly white. Instead, ash browns, ash blondes and deep brown, will give your skin a rosy glow. Rich shades of brown, such as chocolate, coffee walnut and mocha, will bring out the best in your complexion.
Olive Skin
Olive skin has warm undertones as well as cool undertones. If your skin tone tends towards the darker side, it's a warmer color and if it tends towards a pale blue, it's a cooler color. Depending on your skin color, you need to pick the perfect shade of brown. Once again, dark brown hair colors would be the safest bet. Medium brown with dark blonde highlights can also gel well with olive skin. People with olive skin, generally have dark eyes, so make sure you pick a color that complements your eyes as well. The ones with cooler undertones, can try experimenting with shades such as coffee or ash brown. The whole purpose of changing hair colors is to complement your eyes and your complexion, so make sure it serves that!
Dark Skin
Dark skin or sun kissed skin, is blessed with good skin complexion and condition. Dark skin or honey colored skin with dark brown eyes, has the hair colors at its feet! Nothing can go wrong. It's just a matter of styling your hair to get the look you want to wear. Beyonce's deep blonde and brown or J Lo's brown, name it you can wear it. If you have a blonde fixation, I suggest, blonde streaks would look better than a full blonde locks.
While selecting brown hair shades, run a patch test. See how it looks before you color it totally. A hair color must suit your eyes and your complexion and not just your whims and fancies. Finally, no matter what hair color you wear, carrying it with oodles of panache, will do the trick of locking the looks with your locks!
