Whether it was an impromptu decision or a sad heartbreak, if your recent google search includes something related to changing your hair colour, this is the article for you. We understand that selecting the right hair colour is a very tedious and mindful process that one needs to figure out based on their skin tone, the colour of your eyes, what tones your hair should reflect and your hair goals, etc. Besides, with the innumerable colour options that we have nowadays, which aren’t simply brown or blonde anymore, it’s a huge task to get the hair colour that suits you. However, worry not! We have compiled a list for you on how to choose the right colour for you.

Choosing The Right Hair Color Based On Yourself

As mentioned before, choosing the right hair colour is based on a variety of different factors, so here is how these factors determine your ideal hair colour:

-  Your Complexion:

The colour of your skin is one of the most important things that determine the hair colour you should have. The correct hair colour will compliment your skin and the wrong will make it look dreary and dull. Adjacent to that, you should make sure that the depth of the hair colour should be at least two or three shades lighter or darker than your skin. Let us now see how different hair colours flatter the different skin tones.

1. Warm Skin Tones: to figure out if you are a warm-toned person, look at the veins in your wrist- if they are greenish, you have warm-toned skin. Warm skin tones tend to shine with warm hair colour as well. If you still want to go lighter, choose a blushy, pinky blonde. Other than that, golden beige or buttery blonde are the best ones for you. For someone who wants to go brunette though or try shades of brown, they should gravitate towards caramel, butterscotch or clove shades. Furthermore, wheat blonde highlights would also look great on these people.
2. Cool Skin Tones: Someone with cool skin tones will show blue-ish, purple veins on their wrists. Some of the blonde shades that would look good on these people are platinum, beige blonde and baby blue taupe. Dark chocolate and espresso are the brunette shades that go well with this skin tone and, with reds opting for different shades having this skin tone, they should try merlot, burgundy and subtle shades of mocha. Highlights can be multi-coloured with hints for green and purple being the easiest to pull off.
3. Neutral Skin Tones: If your veins look a mix of blue and green or you can rock a purple t-shirt just as well as an orange one, then congratulations! You are the lucky one to have the most flexibility in choosing your hair shade. From super cool platinum to pale beige blondes or golden, amber blondes, you can choose any of these. Brunettes can opt for mocha colour strands and redheads can run the spectrum from auburn or strawberry blonde to cabernet shades.

-The Color Of Your Eyes:

No surprise here, but the colour of your eyes can bring out your hair colour and vice versa. Therefore, if you haven’t considered this before, your hair colour can help your eye colour shine. And based on the different types of eye colours, here is how you should choose your new hair colour.

1. Green Eyes: Ah, the rare species. Apparently, green eyes are found in only 3% of the whole population, but to match your unique eye colour, there are a few hair colours that you should be going for. A rich butterscotch shade, an auburn redhead, chocolate and black will successfully flatter you since these are all earthy, olive tones complimenting your eye colour.
2. Blue Eyes: These individuals can rock a hair colour with hints of orange and red. Therefore, strawberry blonde, platinum blonde, espresso and burgundy shades would look great on you. These colours will perfectly bring out your baby blue eyes and would look the most flattering.
3. Brown Eyes: Perhaps the most common eye colour will be this one. So, here are the hair colours that would look fantastic on you. Golden brown, mahogany, ash blonde and honey. These eyes have an array of natural tones in them and therefore, warm brunette shades look amazing on these people.
4. Hazel Eyes: If your eyes have shades of amber, blue and green, it’s safe to say that you are a hazel-eyed beauty.  Chestnut, cream blonde, hazelnut and copper are some of the hair colours that will suit you. They will provide a good contrast for your eyes and bring out the blue and green shades in them.

-Your Personality:

If none of these things sounds alluring or convincing enough to you, just go with whatever your personality demands from you. From vibrant rainbows to crazy blondes, make your heart content with going for whatever you want. Ask yourself this- do you want to be more daring? Or do you want to blend in? Whichever it is, just make sure that your hair colour makes you feel confident and beautiful.

Conclusion

Ultimately, all these are simply suggestions and the best part of hair colours is that it’s temporary. So whether it is a fun blonde or a funky green or even a subtle highlight, keep playing around with your hair until you find the right shade just for you.
