Here’S A Simple Way To Figure Out The Best Hair Color For Your Skin Tone

Do you ever wonder why some hair colors look amazing on you and some just really really do not suit you? Have you ever looked at a picture loved someone's hair color got it done on yourself? Had it looked the same as the picture, but then suddenly realized how much you hated it on your face and on your skin yeah. So have i? What is it about hair color that can look so good on some people and so bad on other people? And how do you know in advance if a hair color is going to suit you today we're going to be going through a few of the key principles when it comes to understanding your skin tone and what hair colors best suit? Your individual skin tone now watch until the end, because i also have a super awesome hack for you that's going to let you know without a shadow of a doubt if a hair color is going to suit you or not suit you immediately before you actually commit, And do it let's go. The first thing we're going to talk about is finding your skin tone. There are three categories of skin tone: there are cool, neutral and warm. Now i want you to keep in mind that if you have cool skin it does not mean that you have to be light-skinned to have cool skin, and if you have warm skin, it does not mean that you need to have medium or dark skin. To have warm skin warm and cool does not equate the level of the skin how dark or how light you are. Take a look and even screenshot. This chart that i found you can see here that you can be light with cool, neutral or warm tones, and you can be medium with cool, neutral or warm tones, and you can be dark with cool, neutral or warm tones. I often feel like people get this really mixed up. They think, oh because i am medium skin tone, then you are automatically warm skin toned. That'S not true, and if you are black, it does not mean that you automatically also have warm skin. You can be black skinned with cool skin. You can be extremely porcelain with warm skin. There are a few tricks to find out if you are warm cool or neutral and we're going to go through them right now. Let'S talk about cool skin first, so the first thing that i want you to do is go over to the window and look at your wrist veins. If you have a cool skin tone, your veins are going to be blue or they're going to be purple. The next thing that i want you to do is to think about whether you gravitate towards silver, jewelry or gold jewelry. We often know instinctively what looks good on us and that's why we always gravitate to wear color or another color or you wear a color, and someone says: oh, my god that color looks amazing on you. Jewelry is something that gives away if you're, warm or cool right away. Do you gravitate towards silver jewelry? If you always wear silver, because you don't like how gold looks on you, you are very likely cool skinned people with cool skin tones, look good in light or white metals such as white, gold, platinum and silver. The next one that is a dead giveaway is the white paper test, so go to the mirror. Take a piece of white paper. Put it right up against your face. If you see pinkiness, rosiness or even a bluish tone compared to the whiteness of the paper, you are very likely cool skinned. Another one that's a good indicator, but can't be used alone because it can kind of go either way, but it it is. Typically, a good indicator is the tan test. So if you go on vacation you're out in the sun a lot a lot more than you normally are, are you almost guaranteed to burn to a crisp? If you are someone that burns very easily, you may also have cool skin, and finally, you want to look at your eye. Color eye. Color is another dead giveaway if your eyes are icy and they are cool like green gray, blue and that dark cool brown that we see. I love that color. My mom has that eye color. Then again, you are also likely to be cool skinned. Now, let's move on to our warm skinned beauties test number one again is the vein test go on over to the window. Look at your wrist under the natural light. If you tend to see green or olive, then you are likely warm toned. The gold or silver test, if you are really really inclined to wear yellow gold, rose gold, anything that's a little bit like rusty in nature. Then you are likely warm toned. The white paper test. If you go to the mirror, you look at yourself beside a white sheet of paper. If you see yellow or golden tones beside that white you're very likely again warm toned the tan test. If you go on vacation - and you don't really worry about burning - you - always tan - really easily, then again likely to be warm and finally eye color. Your eye, color, does not have to be dark, like i said previously in terms of skin, just like your skin doesn't have to be dark for you to be warm your eyes, don't have to be dark for you to be warm, but typically in someone with warm Skin we see colors like gold, yellow orange honey or a very warm brown eye if you've gotten to this point - and you are all over the place in these charts and you're like i don't know i tan easily, but i have icy eyes and i look pinkish Here but i love wearing gold and you are just all over the place and you are very likely a neutral skin tone when it comes to the vein test. Your veins could either be blue or green when it comes to the gold or silver test. You can wear anything gold and silver, look equally good on you and you go back and forth between them all the time without ever thinking man. This doesn't look that good on me with the white paper test. When you look at yourself with that white sheet of paper, you think i can see a bit of pink, but i can also see a bit of warmth. I can see a little bit of coolness. I can also see a little bit of gold in this. You know you're not really here, nor there there's just a combination in the skin that you can't really put your finger on and when it comes to your eye, color your eye color can be literally anything. It can be cool brown. It can be warm brown, it can be green, it can be icy blue. It can be anything now that we know if we are cool, warm or neutral skin tone, we can start analyzing. What type of hair color will look the best on us now? We can make this really complicated and make several different subcategories of this tone, with this eye who's better with this or this lightness or darkness of this with this is better with this. We can make this really complex or we can keep it really simple. For the sake of this video, i want to give you a really simple, foolproof way to get great hair for your skin tone that absolutely cannot go wrong. The biggest piece of advice that i can give you is, if you match your skin tone to your hair color, you will very likely actually, like a hundred percent, sure likely that you will come out with a flattering end result. So what does that mean? That means, if you are a brunette with warm skin, you want to go towards tones that are warm brown, honey, chestnut golden brown. All of those will be really suitable. If you are a redhead with warm skin, then you want to do reds. That, again, are warm. Like copper, based, reds, any type of red that pulls orange and does not pull violet anything that you know, you can really feel that sunshine quality in is going to look great in your skin. If you are a blonde, you want to go towards honey, blondes, warm blondes, beigey blondes, all of those golden hues that again are going to complement your skin. Now, if you have cool skin, then you want to do the exact opposite. So if you are a cool skinned brunette, you want to do cool tones, no orange and no red. So you want to think mushroom brown. Mushroom brown was all the rage for 2021 and now 2022, it's still really hot and it's a really ashy brown. It'S a brown that is very blueed out. There is no golden hue in it. There is no warmness to it. If you want to have red hair as a cool toned person, then the violet reds look really good on you, so those nice cool purple based reds, will look significantly better than like an orange or a warm red and blondes with blonde. You will look really really good in icy shades, ashy shades, silvery shades and those really smoky blonde shades that again, are very, very in style. I found a really great chart that outlines some of the best colors on myhdhair.com, i'm going to pop it up here and you can take a screenshot of it if you want to refer to it later and if you have neutral skin, you can really experiment. You can wear so many different types of hair, colors, they'll likely all be pretty flattering on you. It'S just going to depend on what you feel better in now. I just wanted to add that i hesitate making these videos that are so black and white and concrete, because there are exceptions to every rule and color theory can sometimes get bogged down because oftentimes when it comes to fashion and when it comes to self-expression. You really do have to do what makes you feel amazing. That means, if you are a warm skinned girl and you want platinum blonde, do it, and if you like how it looks, then that's all that matters. You have to do what feels good and what looks good to you and what allows you to express yourself. One key point that i like to add with this is that if you feel like you need to wear a lot of makeup when you have a hair color, it's often because that hair color is tonally, not perfect for your skin. So this has happened to me when i go very, very, very dark with my hair like this is really the darkest i can go because i'm so warm skinned. If i go even darker with my hair, like a really true black, i find that i really do need to wear a lot of eyeliner. I need to really contour more heavily. I need a lot more blush. I basically need to balance my makeup to balance the hair as soon as you get into that territory where you're like man, you know i like the hair color, because i really need like more makeup, you're, probably in a zone where the tone of your hair is Not suiting the tone of your skin and you're trying instinctively to make it work and to balance it, if you don't mind doing that, if you love having an expressive, hair color and you don't mind, balancing the skin with the hair, all power to you, you do You feel like your best self and live your best life now, if you're really wanting to know if a hair color is going to suit you before you commit to it, and you still don't know you've done all the tests you're like i don't know, i just Don'T know it's such a big change or whatever right, you're scared, there's an app that i recommend that you guys get that's really going to help. You see what hair color is going to look like on you. This app is called face app and you can get it in the apple app store. This is not sponsored. I just have loved playing around with this to kind of figure out what hair color is going to suit. You know clients of mine or myself, so what you want to do is you want to go into the app put your photo in there and you want to click on the hair color portion. Now, when you get to the hair color portion, you can alternate everything you can make your hair light. You can make it. You know like a level two light or a level three light or a level four light or a level five. So you can really see how your hair changes, the lighter you get. You can make it darker again from a level one all the way to a level five which is like a deep dark black, as you can see that black really doesn't suit. My skin tone you can play even with the brown shades you can play with the colored shades in case you want to try a fashion, color and see how that's going to suit your skin tone. When you get to this section here, you can even slide the scale back and forth, so you can see how it looks like when it's really really really dark and saturated or a little bit lighter, but still that tone. So you can really get a good understanding of how your skin tone is going to change, based on what you're doing with your hair.
