Understanding your skin tone: Your skin tone is crucial in determining which hair colour will look best on you. Skin tones generally fall into three categories: warm, cool, and neutral.
Warm skin tones: If you have golden, yellow, or peachy undertones, honey blonde, caramel, and copper will add warmth and brightness. Earthy tones like chestnut or chocolate brown are also flattering.
Cool skin tones: Cool skin tones with pink, red, or blue undertones look best in ashy or cool hair colours like platinum blonde, ash brown, or blue-black, which balance your skin’s coolness.
Neutral skin tones: Neutral skin tones can pull off a wide range of colours, from rich browns and soft blondes to bold reds and violets. Choose balanced shades that complement your complexion without overpowering it.
Matching hair colour with eye colour: Your eye colour can also influence how a particular hair colour looks on you. Certain shades can make your eyes pop and enhance their natural beauty.
Blue eyes: Blonde shades with cool undertones, like platinum or icy blonde, highlight blue eyes, while light brown and copper create striking contrasts. For green eyes, red-based colours like auburn and copper, as well as warm blondes, can enhance their intensity.
Brown eyes: Brown eyes are versatile and suit many hair colours. Rich chocolate, warm caramel, and deep burgundy enhance their warmth.
Hazel eyes: Hazel eyes, often with a mix of green, brown, and gold tones, are highlighted by warm browns, golden blondes, and red tones.

Considering your personal style and lifestyle: While your skin tone, eye colour, and AI technology are important, your personal style and lifestyle should also guide your hair colour choice.
When choosing a hair colour, consider maintenance, your professional environment, and personal expression. High-maintenance shades like platinum blonde or bright pink require frequent touch-ups, so if you prefer a low-maintenance option, select a colour close to your natural shade or one that blends seamlessly with your roots. Your workplace can also influence your choice; in conservative settings, natural tones like soft brown or dark blonde offer a polished look without drawing too much attention. In more relaxed or creative environments, you might feel comfortable exploring bolder colours.
Ultimately, your hair colour is a reflection of your personality. Whether you opt for striking hues like bright red or pastel pink to stand out or stick to timeless shades like chestnut brown or honey blonde for a classic look, make sure it aligns with how you want to express yourself.
The role of hair texture Your hair texture impacts how a colour and style look and how easy they are to maintain.
Fine hair: Fine hair can look thinner with very dark or light colours. Consider highlights or lowlights to create dimension and the illusion of fuller hair.
Thick hair: Thick hair holds colour well and can carry rich, deep shades. Multi-dimensional colours with highlights can break up heaviness and add movement.
Curly hair: Curly hair reflects light differently, affecting how colour appears. Softer, warmer shades tend to enhance curls. The AI-powered curl type detection tool provides personalised colour and care recommendations.
By understanding the nuances of colour & style and how they interact with your features, you can find a shade and cut that enhances your appearance and makes you feel confident. With AI-powered tools, exploring countless options and finding the perfect match is easier than ever, ensuring that your next hairstyle is exactly what you envisioned.
