deciding a perfect shade of blond.
What skin colour are you ?
People who are born with blonde hair have the ideal skin tone to be
blonde adults. This however does not mean that you can not be blond if
you do not have natural blonde hair. Few simple tips and some
professional help can make you look as natural blond as any one else who
is born with natural blonde hair.
A professional can determine the true skin colour. However, simple
self guidelines can also establish the skin colour. Dark olive or golden
skin and brown or dark eyes are classified in warm category. People with
fair skin and blue or green eyes are considered in cool category of skin
tone.
What shade of blond suits you?
Once the skin tone is determines, it is easier to identify the shade of
blonde hair colour which complements most to the personality. Warm skin
people should pick golden shades as caramel and bronze in a darker shade
than their skin tone. It should not be a light shade of golden. Shade of
black is a complete no in the case of warm skin tone people.
Warm or medium skin tone people have more choices in shades of blond.
Apply the appropriate shade keeping in mind that the roots would show up
as lighter you go. A stylist can sum it up by narrowing it down from the
wide range available in shade of blond. The shades of platinum blond or
yellow tone blond should be avoided.
Cool shade tone people should opt for ash blond and cool blonde hair
colour. Do not use colours as gold, auburn or copper. It is important to
stay as close to your natural hair colour as possible for a better
upkeep of your hair and colour. Good to keep in mind that hair colouring
lightens the natural hair colour so many levels on its own. If colouring
is done at home, don’t go for two to three levels down to your natural
hair colour. The stylist should opt for a medium blond and add in some
lighter blond highlights for a tan effect.
Do’s and don’ts
- Do not pick a colour by the picture on the box or by an
advertisement in the television. It could be misleading.
- Always consult a stylist who can be the best person to advice
the right colour as per the skin tone.
- Going along with age is important. At 18, any thing can be
pulled off but as you grow older, right combination of skin tone,
lifestyle should always be kept in mind.
- Ensure to invest in the best product. Good branded shampoo and
conditioner for coloured hair is crucial. A good product restores
the damage by repairing its sheen and silky feel.
- A test strand should be done before going for complete hair
colouring. A mistake on mismatch colour can be very annoying.
Another test which should be done is for any possible allergy
reaction of a colour to the scalp.
Blond colour is the way to go in today’s fashion world. Good
product, good pre and after care tips can make it stay beautiful for
a longer period. |
