Brown hair color is one of the most demanded hair color. It makes for a warm and vibrant look which is versatile all through the year.
The brown color is too broad and probably has the largest number of shades in it. Generally deciding a hair dye is not easy and when the choice is so wide as in case of brown shades it becomes more so. If you choose your shade looking at glossy film magzines and thinking that shade will come out perfect on me, wait if not carefull, you can be in shock. Once applied the same shade that looked perfect in the photo can come out totally different on your head and result in a hair disaster story.
During hair color selection, there are factors that are needed to be considered for selecting the shade that will suit you.The skin tone, the cut, the hair color, the eye color and existing hair color plays a vital part in the hair color decision.
First and foremost determine if you fall in the cool or warm category. Our skin tone guide will help you in this. Your choice of make up and foundation for the skin and face should compliment your hair choice and not oppose it.
Cool categories are the ones with light to dark brown eyes and skin, grey eyes, dark blue or hazel white eyes. The natural hairs are medium to dark brown, blue black and white. If you fall under this, it is best to use cool brown, blonde particularly platinum to icy white. You should stray from yellow, gold or red.
The warm category, these include eyes with golden brown, green or gold. Natural hair colors are deep brown or gold, red or strawberry. You should avoid violet or purple, blue and ash which will oppose your color. Shades like dark brown, chestnuts, gold brown and auburn look the greatest for warm people.
