Choosing Natural Hair Color Dye is a Dilemma for Both Men and Women
Hair color ideas are all around us and can be a little confusing with many mixed-messages regarding correct hair color choices. For instance, there are a lot of myths floating around about hair color and personality. However, there is no need to become despondent. Just follow a couple of steps to complement natural beauty, as well as, using hair color theory and you should be completely satisfied with your Lustrous Henna® hair dye choice.
3 Steps for Hair Color Ideas that Complement Natural Beauty
- Think about why you want to color your hair and what do you want to achieve.
- Learning how to and then selecting a color that will enhance your natural beauty. (See “Hair: Color Theory” below).
- Seriously consider your commitment to your look. Lustrous Henna® hair dye can last usually from three weeks to two months, depending on your hair growth and the time it takes to fade.
Hair: Color Theory
According to color experts, our overall facial features give us a great deal of help for hair color ideas. Let’s apply the following color theory for enhancing hair color ideas using Lustrous Henna® hair dye:
Our facial features are usually divided up into two categories: Cool and Warm. Collectively, our eyes, skin and natural hair coloring determine whether we are in the warm category or cool category.
Cool eye color: dark brown, black-brown, gray-blue, dark blue, hazel with white gray or blue flecks.
Cool hair (natural) color: Blue-Black (or jet black), deep brown, ash brown, ash blond, platinum blond.
Cool skin tone: very dark brown, true olive, medium pale, medium with golden undertones, pale, bronze.
Warm eye color: golden brown, green, green-blue, turquoise, hazel with golod or brown flecks.
Warm hair (natural) color: deep brown with gold or red highlights, red, strawberry blond, gray-yellow, natural or golden blond.
Warm skin tone: brown with pink or golden undertones, peachy or with peachy undertones, pale with gold undertones, freckled, ruddy. Of course, hair color ideas might be hard to obtain if you don’t remember what color your natural hair is or if you regularly use tanning beds. Therefore, if you think about what colors currently complements your facial features -in your wardrobe- this should be able to determine if you are warm or cool. Blue, green and violet are cool hues. Red, orange and yellows are warm hues.
Most complimentary hair color for warm skin: golden, rich brown and redder coloring.
Most complimentary hair color for cool skin: ashy shades of brown (instead of red-browns), black, light colors.
Caveat: Hair color theory is very basic. Remember, you are: uniquely you. Your complexion might be more of a combination that doesn’t ‘fit’ into a basic category. There is no true “cookie-cutter” template on cool or warm individuals. Still unsure? One safe way to choose the correct color* is to think of your skin tone, eye color, natural hair color and even your hair color -as a young child. Can you remember what color was reflected from sun rays on a bright summer day? Use these factors to help you today with your own natural beauty.
If you’re still unsure about what Lustrous Henna® hair dye shade to use, then do the following: Save some hair from your comb or hairbrush until you have enough test for color. Do a color test on your saved hair; hold against your face while looking into mirror, to ensure that you will like the results. In review, think more about skin tone, eye color and your natural haircolor and highlights, then choose the Lustrous Henna® hair dye shade that naturally suits you and your natural beauty.
*Since Lustrous Henna® is in Powder form, the powders can be mixed to create a desired shade, it is better to do a strand test. When you do a strand test make sure you document the ratios for future reference.
