Cool or Warm ?

Bored of that image which is reflected off from the mirror when you stand in front of it every day? 
Frustrated at how tired and regular Jane that image portrays?
Desperate for a change, ANY change, which doesn't requires too much $ ?


Answer: HAIR COLOUR CHANGE!  (Like, what's new right!?)


As with my normal routine, 3 months has passed and it's my time mark for a hair colour change. Difference with this round, instead of going to my hair salon, I've gathered up an enormous amount of guts (like as if we can quantify guts) to DIY ! It's relatively very simple, really, mix two bottles of agents, give it a good shake and spread it evenly out from roots to ends and wait for 15mins. Straight forward. And especially fabulous when all hair salons have closed for the day (i.e. night time) and you literally can't curb the desire to colour your hair.


Any time. Any where. Any place. At the mercy of your decision.


However before you rush out to buy any DIY hair colouring kit, please spare a few minutes to understand yourself better. Know what type of skin tone you belong to, and what are the colours that'll complement your look and what colours are your worst enemies.


Ultimately we want the hair colour change to bring about a radiance and glow to our physical appearance, or unless you are aiming to look more haggard and tired. Generally we're divided into two broad skin tones - Cool and Warm. Because there are colours which are able to bring out the best with the respective skin tones, and the reverse applies too. That'll help a lot in your decision making for whatever colour change.


I've extracted off from Google search on the characteristics of each skin tone, so you guys can save the trouble of doing so.


**********


























Cool Tone people have one or more of these characteristic
Colours of your Eyes are-
Deep brown or black-brown 
Gray blue or dark blue 
Hazel with white, gray or blue flecks

Skin Tone-

Very dark brown 
True olive (most Asians and Latinos) 
Medium with no color in cheeks 
Medium with faint pink cheeks
Medium with golden undertones 
Pale with no color in cheeks
Pale with pink undertones 
Brown or bronze when I tan 


Natural Hair Color:
Blue black 
Deepest coffee brown 
Medium ash brown
Medium golden brown 
Dishwater blonde
Salt and pepper
White


For COOL tone people, a few hair colour shades can look gorgeous on you are:-
-Shinny black hair
-Cool ash browns
-Cool blondes, shades ranging from mink to platinum / icy white
-Most neutral, ash / beige bases should work fab.


And hair colours a Cool skin tone person should AVOID are those gold, yellow, red and bronze tones. These tones are warm in nature and if you colour your entire hair with these offending tones, chances are, you'll look tired and haggard.

Warm Tone people have one or more of these characteristics

Colours of your Eyes are-
Golden brown 
Green, green blue or turquoise  
Hazel with gold or brown flecks

Skin Tone:

Brown with golden undertone 
Pale with peach or gold undertones 
Freckled 
Ruddy


Natural Hair Color:

Gray with a yellow cast 
Natural golden blonde


Hair colours that will look best on Warm Tone are:-
Those dark warm rich browns, chestnuts, golden browns and auburn. Those warm gold and red highlights. Gold blond shades will look gorgeous with your skin tone too. Basically, any colour that carries a red-orange / gold base will be fabulous!

However, Warm Tone people should AVOID hair colours of those blue, violet, beige and ash.

Now that you have understood the type of skin tone you belong, you have taken a step closer in finding the right suitable colour for your hair! :)


Next entry up will be my journey to obtain a hair colour tone as close to ash brown, using over-the-counter DIY colour kits.


STAY TUNE!
