What is the most basic principle of hair color theory applied to hair? It's choosing between warm and cool shades—and with the dizzying variety of color for hair available, choosing can sometimes be confusing. The best way to make pleasing hair color choices is to determine whether your natural coloring—hair, eye, and skin tones—is in the warm or cool range of colors. Answer these questions, or better yet, have your best friend give you her opinion, since her opinion is likely to be more accurate:
YOUR EYES ARE
Deep brown or black-brown (Cool), Golden brown (Warm), Gray blue or dark blue (Cool), Green, green blue or turquoise (Warm), Hazel with gold or brown flecks (Warm), Hazel with white, gray or blue flecks (Cool)
YOUR SKIN IS
Very dark brown (Cool), Brown with pink undertone (Warm), Brown with golden undertone (Warm), True olive (most Asians and Latinos) (Cool), Medium with no color in cheeks (Cool), Medium with faint pink cheeks (Cool), Medium with golden undertones (Cool), Pale with no color in cheeks (Cool), Pale with pink undertones (Cool), Pale with peach or gold undertones (Warm), Freckled (Warm), Ruddy (Warm), Brown or bronze when I tan (Cool), Golden brown, when I tan (Warm)
YOUR HAIR COLOR IS
Blue black (Cool), Deepest coffee brown (Cool), Medium ash brown (Cool), Deep brown with gold or red highlights (Warm), Medium golden brown (Cool), Red (Warm), Strawberry blond (Warm), Dishwater blond (Cool), Golden blond (Cool), Salt and pepper (Cool), White (Cool)Gray with a yellow cast (Warm)
