How to Choose the Right Hair Color for Your Skin Tone

Warm, cool, or neutral? Discover how identifying your skin's undertone can help you select the most flattering hair color.

Changing your hair color is one of the quickest ways to dramatically alter your appearance. But picking a shade based solely on a Pinterest board can sometimes lead to disappointment if it clashes with your natural coloring.

Find Your Undertone

Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they look blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. If they appear greenish, you have warm undertones. A mix means you are neutral!

Cool Undertones

If you fall into the cool category, icy blondes, ash browns, and striking raven blacks will make your skin glow. Avoid brassy or yellow-toned blondes.

Warm Undertones

If you're warm-toned, rich golden blondes, chestnut browns, and vibrant coppers will beautifully complement your complexion.
