With the New Year comes the irrefutable desire to switch up your look. Haircuts and hairdos do change your look but do not transform it completely. How about waving that magic wand with a touch of new hair colour this New Year? Spruce up your look and reinvent yourself.
With a plethora of colours, shades and styles out there, picking the right shade and knowing exactly how you want your hair to look seems a tough call. Hair colours are not permanent, but they’re not easy to change up either. To make your task easier, we’ve rounded up some stunning colour options that flatter the Indian skin tone along with tips and tricks on picking the right shade for you. Read on for more inspiration and up your mane game.
ALL ABOUT COLOURS
Did you know that, how light or dark your skin is doesn’t matter when it comes to picking colours. While many of us are well aware of our skin colour, not many know about the undertone—the colour that is just below the surface of your skin. How do you determine your undertone? Simply observe the colour of your veins. If they appear to be more blue or purple you have a cool undertone. If they appear to be greener, you have a warm undertone. And if you can’t tell if your veins are blue or green, you most likely have the neutral undertone.
If the sun’s rays cause your skin to turn red and burn, you probably have a cool tone. But if the rays make your skin tan, you have a warm tone. Another way to find out is by putting on some jewellery. If gold looks better on you, you have a warm undertone, however if silver looks good on your skin, you have a cool undertone. And if you can’t decide which one looks better, you probably have the neutral undertone. With this, we hope we have dispelled the myth that ‘light colours look good on light skin and dark colours look good on dark skin’. Keep this in mind the next time you pick a shade for your hair.
