2. Rosy undertones

People with a rosy undertone and light skin will also look good in blondes and platinum. Ash blonds will definitely look good with rosy skin hues. Darker base shades might dull the complexion and therefore should be avoided.

3. Bluish undertones

Those with very fair and icy skin with bluish and green undertones should avoid blondes though. For this skin shade, the best hair colors are dark colors such as blacks and browns that complement the greenish tinge in the skin by making it glow. Even colors such as mahogany with purplish and red tinges will complement this skin tone and will bring some life to the dark base hair color.

4. Bronze undertones

Fair skin with a bronze undertone will always look good in coppery and chestnut tones. People with this skin tone will also look good in brown and red undertones in their hair.

Best hair color for gray hair

Gray hair is a pain for all and especially if you are a young woman, premature graying can be a hit to your self-esteem and can actually make you look older than you are. Dying your hair is the best option to deal with gray hair and while a lot of options are available in the market to self-dye your hair you can always opt for a professional to dye your hair as it will give you the best results and will also give you an idea on what hair color will suit you best and what colors are relatively easier to maintain.

Dye the gray

A lot of women opt for streaks or highlights to cover the gray hair. The color options such as ombre, blond or chestnut streaks are usually popular as they not only cover the gray but also blend in well with the grays when new roots come out. Another easy fix for gray hair is to choose a hair dye which matches your natural hair color. While you might have to touch up your roots every 20 to 30 days, this is a low maintenance, easy and manageable fix for gray hair especially if you have a busy work schedule.

Best hair color for blue eyes

Blue eyes are one of the rarest colors in the world. It is also the most striking color when it comes to eye colors and to recognize what hair color will look best with blue eyes you must factor in your skin tone as well. Usually warm and natural browns complement blue eyes but a bold and electric color can always make your blue eyes pop, it all depends on personal preference, skin tone, and your age. While younger girls and teenagers with blue eyes can rock an electric blue or blood red to bring out the blue in their eyes, older women may want to opt for something more somber.

Knowing your tone

Women with warm skin tones and blue eyes should consider sticking to warm browns and warm blondes as it will not only complement their eyes but also their skin tone. Women with a much cooler skin tone and blue eyes might want to consider ashen tones in browns and blondes. They will also look good in platinum, shades of blue and lavender. For an olive skin tone and blue eyes, the best colors include shades of mahogany, dark browns, hazelnut and even bright colors such as green and purple will complement your blue eyes.

Best hair color for green eyes

Green is one of the most beautiful eye colors in the world and choosing the right hair color to bring out the color in your eyes is therefore very important as it will either dull down or brighten up your complexion and eyes. One of the things that you must do while choosing the right hair color shade that goes with your eye color is to identify the undertone in your green eyes. If you have hazel undertones then a warmer hair color will suit you better. If you have a cool and bluish undertone to your green eyes then a cooler color will make your eyes stand out.

Knowing your tone

Your skin tone also plays an important role in determining the right hair color. People with cool and pale skin and green eyes are likely to look good in platinum, ash and strawberry shades. Burgundy and purplish shades will also complement this combination of skin tone and eyes. For a warm skin tone and green eyes, blondes are your best friend. A nice golden hue to your hair will accentuate the green in your eyes. You might want to try champagne and caramel colors to get the perfect Barbie look.

Conclusion

Choosing the perfect hair color is all about knowing your skin tone and then deciding on an ideal shade that will bring out your complexion. Eye color also plays an important role in determining the perfect hair shade and should not be ignored when choosing a hair dye. It is always best to consult a professional hairdresser before dying your hair because the wrong hair dye can not only make you look sallow and washed-out but may also dull down your facial features and can make you seem older than you are.
