At times we all get tired of wearing our natural hair color, and we may want to be spontaneous and try something different. You may not know it, but it’s very important to choose a color for your hair that compliments your overall appearance. When you want to switch things up for your physical appearance, you have to make sure that it compliments other aspects of your body as well.
Consider your skin tone:
Your skin tone is the first thing that you should consider. You may be surprised, but the veins in your wrist can help with your hair color decision. According to wikihow.com if your veins are blue your undertone is cool, if they are green your undertone is warm, and if it is somewhere in between your undertone is neutral. If your skin tone is extremely pale, dark colors can make you appear even more pale, and if you have a yellow hue, deep reds and dark browns are often safer.

Consider your clothing color:
It may be hard to believe but the color of your clothing plays a big role in choosing your hair color. According to wikihow.com, if you look good in red, orange, golden, yellow, olive green, or rust, warm tones such as golden brown, golden blonde, etc. will work best. If you look good in bluish red, fuchsia, black, royal blue, or pine green, hair colors such as platinum, ash blonde, burgundy, and jet black will look great. Finally, if red purple, charcoal grey, periwinkle, or teal fits, neutral tones like sandy blonde, beige blonde, chocolate brown, and mahogany will work well.
Consider your eye color:
If you don’t consider anything, make sure you consider your eye color along with your hair color. Hair color with warm tones like red, gold, and auburn shades are best for people with brown, green, or hazel eyes. This is because these particular eye colors have a yellow base. Hair color like light gold or ash are cooler-toned colors and are best suited for people with blue or grey tones. These eye colors have a blue based compared to having a yellow or brown base.
