The Right Hair Colour

A report by Hairdressers Soho

The right hair colour can greatly enhance your facial beauty and also highlight your hair style. You no longer are at the mercy of the hair colour that you were born with as there is a lot of colouring hair dyes which are safe and very easy to apply. These come in every possible shade, but how does one know which will suit the best? Hairdressers Soho can consult with you on a suitable and flattering colour.

The choice of Hair colour will mainly depend on your skin tone and colour, and also on the colour of your eyes. People with black or brown eyes having dark or golden skin should go for shades of bronze or caramel. The point is to go for darker shades than your skin tone. Pitch black colours should be avoided and also very light shades. For people with fairer complexion having blue, grey or green eyes, should select cool brown or ash blonde shades. Fair people should avoid colours which will make too much of their reddish complexion stand out.

Most people like to have a blonde Hair colour, but not many are suited for it. If you see people who are blonde naturally, they will have the right skin tone for it. If you are dark skinned, definitely avoid this colour. If you have brown hair with medium skin tone, go for blonde shades that are not too light. Many skin tones are suited for red shades in Hair colour. For women with a pinkish skin tone the red shades suit the best. Even people with darker skin tones can go for the right shade of red.

If you are new to hair colour and not sure, then you should first experiment with semi-permanent colours that come off in a few washes. Any hairdressers in Soho can put in a semi-permanent shade. The other colouring product available is a permanent colour which does not wash out. You can use this one when you are sure of what you can wear or when touching up on grey hair. While selecting the colour do not choose solely by the colour you see pictured in the book or on the box as it can be quite misleading. Hairdressers Soho can give you suggestions on shades and whether or not they should be a solid colour or contain a combination of colour and highlights.

Hairdressers Soho are seeing highlighting is now returning as a popular trend and people are using actual hair colour products to put streaks of colour that stand out within the natural colour of their hair. It is advised to go for the semi-permanent type of hair colour for this, especially when it is your first application.

If you have dyed your hair with semi permanent colour and it does not suit you, make sure to wash off the colour completely before you apply something else. For people who have used permanent colour it is always better to get professional advice from a hairdresser in Soho before having another colour applied on top of the existing dye, as it can damage the health of your hair.
