Want to change your hair color but not sure which shade will actually suit you?
You donât want to look like a TikTok experiment, but you’re craving something new?
The right hair color can take your whole vibe to the next level â it can highlight your style, skin tone, eyes, and energy.
Hereâs a simple guide to help you choose the right hair color based on your skin tone and personal style.
đ§ Why Does Hair Color Even Matter?
Hair color isnât just about looks â itâs part of your personality and overall impression.
The right shade can:
- Brighten your face
- Make you look younger
- Enhance your style
- Cover grays or dull hair
But the wrong one? It can throw everything off.
đ¨ Step 1: Know Your Skin Tone
đĽ Warm Skin Tone:
â Got olive, golden, or yellow undertones?
â Tan easily in the sun?
âĄď¸ Youâve got a warm tone
Best hair colors for warm skin tones:
- Golden brown, honey blonde
- Copper, caramel
- Warm-toned brown
- Lighter tones that pair well with gold
đ§´ Tip: Avoid cool blondes or silvers â they can wash you out.
âď¸ Cool Skin Tone:
â Got fair skin with pink or blue undertones?
â Burn easily in the sun?
âĄď¸ Youâve got a cool tone
Best hair colors for cool skin tones:
- Platinum blonde
- Ash brown
- Silver
- Dark chocolate with blue undertones
đ§´ Tip: Stay away from gold and overly warm shades â theyâll clash with your tone.
âď¸ Neutral Skin Tone:
â Somewhere in between? Not clearly pink or yellow?
âĄď¸ Youâre lucky â most shades will suit you
Best colors for neutral skin tones:
- Feel free to experiment! Blonde, brown, copper, silverâŚ
- Just make sure your hair color complements your wardrobe
đ Step 2: Think About Your Personal Style
Hair color isnât just about your skin â itâs part of your outfit, vibe, and overall image.

Business Look | Dark brown, black, natural shades |
