Choosing the Right Hair Color Shade

Having a problem with selecting the right hair color shade?

It is actually very easy to do if you keep in mind these two general rules:

1. People with lighter skin should avoid darker hair. It will make them look pale.

2. On the other hand, people with darker skin should stay away from trying lighter shades.

Here are some shade-specific tips:

- Black is easy color because it covers all hair types effectively. However, do not use it if you have pale skin to avoid a stark contrast.

- Brown hair color is very easy to achieve for most women. For unique look, mix varying shades with highlights.

- Hair holds onto red color just fine. But, if you are a blonde woman, you will need to go 2 or 3 shades darker to get a natural shade.

- When it comes to blonde shade, it’s best to talk to your stylist. Generally, if you have virgin hair, the process will be easy. However, if your hair has been permanently tinted, you will need several sessions to get good results.
