Forget about the classic, dull hair colors. This season is all about getting out of your comfort zone.
But does that mean that you should follow these trends blindly, without giving them a second thought? Or maybe you should find a balance between the trends, your preferences, and hair colors that are flattering for you? I think we both know the right answer. It’s time to adapt the current hair craze to your taste.
First Things First
Before you choose your favorite hair color trend, think of your:
Skin tone
Is your skin fair or dark? What about the undertones? Do you have a warm or cool undertone? All of this plays a crucial role in choosing the right hair color.
Eye color
The next important thing on the list is the hue of your eyes. You want a hair color that will make your eyes pop and accentuate their beauty.
Hair type and texture
Not all hair types and textures bear frequent color retouches. If you have naturally thin hair, you might reconsider your decision to go platinum blonde because bleaching will surely damage your tresses.
Budget
Please, keep in mind that most of these hair color trends should be done by a professional. Hair salon visits cost money, especially if you go for a shade that requires regular maintenance. And let’s not forget the hair products you’ll have to buy to keep your color alive at home.
