Choosing Your Perfect Hair Color

    Hair color selection isn't as simple as it use to be.  Once upon a time it was blond, red, brunette, or black.  However, now there are various shades of each color to choose from.  The wrong hair color can give you the blues and leave you red in the face!  The following will help you to go in the right direction in your decision.
Decision 01
    First you need to figure out why you are coloring your hair.  Are you covering gray, adding dimension to your natural color, or completely changing your image.
Decision 02
    Compatible colors for you are either "cool" or "warm" depending on your skin tone, natural hair color, and eye color.
Cool 
Eyes-Dark brown, black-brown, gray blue, dark blue, or hazel with gray or blue flecks
Hair-Blue-black, deep brown, ash brown, ash blond, platinum blond
Skin-Very dark brown, true olive, medium pale, medium with golden undertones, pale, bronze
Warm
Eyes-Golden brown, green, greeb-blue, turquoise, hazel with golden or brown flecks
Hair-Deep brown with gold or red hilights, red, strawberry blond, gray-yellow, natural golden blond
Skin-Brown with pink or golden under tones, peachy or peachy undertones, pale with gold undertones, freckled, ruddy
       If this doesn't help, let's examine your wardrobe.  Chances are you have a combination of cool and warm hues.  Clothing colors that look good on you and make you feel good may give you some indication.  For instance if you wear an olive drab shirt and it makes you fade into the back ground, then cool tones like ash blond are not for you.
