Top 10 Hair Tips to Know When Coloring Your Hair

HAIR TIP # 1

The color of your eyebrows compliment your skin tones. Use their color as a starting base to move a couple shades lighter or darker.



HAIR TIP # 2

Add hair highlights around your face and go darker towards the back.



HAIR TIP # 3

Have hair highlights put in underneath your natural colour so you won't notice the regrowth.




HAIR TIP # 4

If you have frizzy hair, there are a couple extra things to consider. Darker colors can mask frizzy hair by giving it a healthier, smoother look. Avoid extremely light hair highlights, and choose warmer tones that reflect more light and take the focus off the frizz.






HAIR TIP # 5

If you look washed out without makeup its because your hair and skin tone don't match anymore.


HAIR TIP # 6

Don’t go solid blonde. Add a subtle contrast to your skin tone with some soft lowlights to the blonde color to give depth and warmth.  Stick as close as possible to the natural “base” color of your hair as it is now - not what it was like in your 20’s or teens.



HAIR TIP # 7

Severe dark hair can emphasis the lines on your face by reflecting darkness.



HAIR TIP # 8

When in doubt, don't make a radical change. You can minimize possible bad results by coloring only a few shades lighter or darker than your original color.  Check out how the depth of your eye color can determine how dark or light you should go.



HAIR TIP # 9

You can play around with everything from black hair color to strawberry blonde as long as you go with temporary hair color - save the major hair coloring decisions until you're ready for permanent hair color.



HAIR TIP # 10

If you are looking for something less dramatic and more natural, choose a color that is within two shades of your natural color. This will be a pleasant change, and you’ll still recognize the person you see in the mirror.
