Looking for hair color ideas? I am too! To bring in the New Year, I’ve decided to tweak my image with a new hair color. Nothing drastic but I ‘m trying to decide on a shade that will compliment my skin. So, what are the hottest hair color trends at the moment?

Well…When picking a new hair color, always find one that is best for your skin tone. Here are some DONT’S when choosing a new hair color.

  • For yellow undertones- Stay away from deep gold shades
  • For pale, translucent skin- No deep dark shades
  • Brown or Tan skin- Don’t go too blonde!
  • Pink undertones- Avoid deep dark shades too!

Using a temporary hair color treatment is a good safety measure. It washes out after a couple of washes. Another idea is going a couple shades lighter or darker than your existing hair color.

But which hair color is best for me?

A terrific way to find your perfect shade is by looking at celebrities hair and skin tone, magazines, and hair coloring books.

Brunette Hair Color Ideas

Is Brown Right for you?

Brunette is a very popular hair color idea because it looks great with most skin tones. There is some upkeep to stop it from looking faded out; but, there are several hair products that can help maintain your color.

Brunette is best if …

  • You’re already a brunette- Your natural color can be more vibrant by adding richer browns.
  • Want a low-maintenance hair color- The upkeep is fairly easy compared to other shades unless you’re naturally blonde. At-home kits are great for management if you hate frequent trips to the salon.
  • Damaged hair- Darker hair is terrific at hiding breakage and flaws because the color reflects light best.

Blond Hair Color Ideas

Is Blond Right for you?

Blond hair is not an easy color to use if you’ve done some permanent coloring in the past. It can be quite damaging to the hair if not done properly. Also, it is not a look for everyone so before you decide to grab the bleach, read these interesting facts on blond hair. Having blond hair needs a lot more management especially when your roots start showing (Not a good look). Also, your blond hair color can fade with frequent sunlight or heat. Going from brown to blond is very risky so if you do decide to go blond, let a professional handle it.

Blond is best if…

  • You’re naturally blond- You have the right skin tone to continue pulling off the look.
  • Cost of maintenance doesn’t bother you- It’s not cheap being a blond. Regular touch-ups and products are necessary. You’ve been warned!
  • You’re an attention getter- Blond is a popular hair color and has been known as a shade most men prefer but this is often debatable.

Red Hair Color Ideas

Is Red Right for you?

Red hair is being requested more and more these days. People usually associate red hair with being plump and freckly but that is not the case at all! It’s a very sexy look and more celebs are firing up their hair. It’s certainly a great color for someone who likes to be the center of attention. Trust me… you’ll get stares!

Red is best if…

  • You have pink undertones- With so many shades, red can look great on most women but best on women with pinkish or cool skin.
  • Loves the stares- Like I mentioned earlier, people will turn their heads so you must have confidence to pull off this look.
  • You hair is fairly good- The red color grabs on to your strands better if they’re not dry or damaged. The more healthy it is, the more radiant your hair can become.

  • I love my hair and I take care of my hair. If it were dry or damaged, dark colors are best but I like putting highlights and lowlights too. Ladies are really into hair :)
  • dyan
    well im a natural red head and i get complements but i feel like my hair is just to boring and is getting old, i would love to go blonde but a darker color under the blonde maybe brown or black i like that look but idk if it would look good on me ive been told it would but im just not sure?? what do you think??
  • Dgnfdgnfsjmfdsj
    well, i love red hair its really pretty, maybe instead of dyeing it completely you could just dye it dark brown under the red, my friends hair is like that and it looks really nice

    I hope this helped :D
  • What about pale skin with black hair...it can look stunning! Just ask Dita Von teese!
  • Hi there! I agree that jet black is great on pale skin because it has that bluish undertone and can give the appearance of extra glossiness. Jet Black is the only exception. I love Dita Von Teese "snow white" look but her skin is more fair than pale. Deep dark shades like soft black has brown undertone and it looks best on olive-skin not fair-skin.
  • ah you see i have what id consider incredibly pale pink coll toned skin, although on my face no veins show up..no freckles either. Its whats called alabaster skin i think. Anyway ive always been complimented when i have raven black hair, more so than my natural blonde hair which always made me look drained.
  • I checked your site out which is great by the way, and your skin is very similar to dita's fair-skin. I think Jet Black hair is the only exception for dark shades on pale skin. Any black color with brown undertones would not be a great choice. It just wouldn't compliment your fair skin enough.
  • Um......who said men prefer blondes? It's actually been proven that brunettes are more of what men like.
  • diane
    uhh men perfer to marry brunettes and date blondes but we all know they love the freakiness of redheads so come on guys lets not get it confused
    thanks.

    Different men prefer different things in women. Who has actually proved that men like brunettes better? Not you, so please keep your blonde-hating comments to yourself.
