Colour Analysis: how to choose the colour of your hair

Colour harmony or colour analysis is not just for choosing your garments or make-up but also helps in getting the colour of your hair right. Hair colour is easy once you know your season. Any dye colour or highlights should match your natural colouring. Nature is alway right!

Winter

If you are a winter means you might have olive skin, you tan easily in summer and your hair are brown to black and your eyes are either dark or very bright. This means you have high contrast and therefore deep colours suit you. Your hair are beautiful as they are. A winter should avoid blond and warm red. If you don’t like a uniform colour you could try dark blue or dark purple highlights.

Winters often gray prematurely often creating a beautiful salt and pepper effect. If you don’t like this look by all means colour your hair but remember to alway use ash brown to tone it and never let your hairdresser to use a colour that has warm in it.

Summer

If you are summer with light skin and light eyes then your hair colour should be cool and delicate tones. To avoid warm tones or colours that are too dark. You could choose soft hash nuances from light brown to blonde. A mix of ash and warm tone will instead suit a soft summer. 

Summers gray beautifully and they may wish to leave the gray for a naturally frosted look. If you are a summer that want to have contrast use a darker ash blonde to create a contrast with you skin.

Autumn

If you are an autumn means you probably stay tan all year around and that your eyes also go from hazelnut to deep green. You will look terrific in a warm red or warm brown highlights. To avoid bright and blonde highlights which will make you look older. Also to avoid black and ash brown as they might grey your beautiful golden skin tone.

When an Autumn hair gets gray it is often a yellow-grey and therefore less chic than a salt and pepper look. I advice you to tone your hair with deep colours like a chocolate brown, chestnut or mocha. If you don’t like a uniform colour you could ask your hairdresser for some highlights but always using deep and warm tones.

Spring

If you are a spring means you have a peach skin and bright eyes. Many springs have warm blonde or brown hair. You should avoid ash tones and instead use golden ones. Copper highlights might suits you beautifully as they would complement your brightness. To avoid instead black and ash colours as too cool for your warm skin tone. 

I advice to cover your gray hair unless they are completely grey or white. To cover gray hair you can use auburn, golden brown or golden blonde colouring. If you are a natural red hair please keep you hair red!
