Hair Color & More!!

Hair Color is a great way to subtly and sometimes drastically change your entire appearance. The right hair color can make you look fab with very little effort.

Chosing the right color for your hair tone can be more difficult than any other types. Women don’t realize that, what works on say Western hair, is not suitable for Indian skin tones. Common, how many times have you seen that very blonde aunty walking down the street and stared after her in horror.

First things first, you have to know your skin tone. Is it warm or cool?

• If you turn red and burn in the sun as opposed to tan, you’re probably a cool. 

• If you tan, you’re a warm. 

1. Natural colors, browns, reds and burgundy is favored for Indians. The undertone of the skin is very important when you choose a color. If you’re very yellow, you don’t want an ashy brown or gold, you will look jaundiced.

Indian skin tone can carry off both red and brown shades with elan. Just choose the shades wisely. Make sure that if you are too dusky do not go for very light brown and if you are too pale or fair, do not go for the darkest brown. Hair colour should be chosen keeping in mind your original hair. The hair colour should be only three shades lighter or darker than the original hair colour.

2. Brown :  Brown is probably the safest color you can go for. Again, go according to your skin. If you’re cooler, go for colors like mahogany. For warm skin, go for ash brown.

3. Burgundy : A very popular color that will look best on olive and yellow skin tones. It will suit darker girls.

4. Golden :Golden is not a natural color on anyone with Indian skin but people do love it!  A full head of blonde is not a winning look; it can make dusky women look very pale and sickly as well as olive ladies, even if they are fair. Cool skinned fair girls can pull it off, but it requires a lot! The best way to wear golden is with some brown tones and usually in streaks or highlights. Don’t go full gold. Not only is the gold “color” not flattering, it is also mostly bleach and very harmful for hair.

6. Black : Pure black is a no-no. Black makes your features appear harder and more haggard. It will look like a wig. Go for a dark brown instead.

Highlights and Low lights :If you go for all over hair color, do consider highlights or low lights. Not more than one or two shades lighter/ darker than your color. Adding highlights/ lowlights can add softness and dimension to your hair.

Ombre Hair Trend for Curly and Straight Hair:  You can get this gradient effect in Indian beauty parlours easily. Olivia Wilde, Jessica Alba, Khloe Kardashian, Lea Michele, Blake Lively, Sarah Jessica Parker..all of them rock it.

Unnatural colors have not been embraced by Indians as such. Unless you like a lot of attention, don’t go unnatural! Thin streaks here and there may be your best bet. Purples, plums and fire engine reds are the some of good hair colors for Indian skin that you could try on.
