subject: Hair Color Corrections - Right Hair Color For You [print this page] It is estimated that fifty percent of women color their hair at home, and most of them are unhappy about the outcomes. This brings us to hair color corrections. Correcting your hair color can be as easy as possible with the right hair coloring system. Moreover, finding the right hair color for you is not as difficult as you think. The rule of thumb is to stick to colors that compliment your skin tone, figure out if you're better off with single-process color or highlights, and then decide if you're going to pay someone else to do it or do it yourself.
For example, if you have a warm skin tone (gold, olive, coppery, deep golden brown, tawny, beige, creamy, peaches and cream, or ivory complexion), the best hair color shades would be dark gold, light golden blonde, dark golden brown, mahogany, chestnut, warm blonde shade, copper, strawberry blonde, light auburn, beige blonde, golden blonde, caramel, honey brown, and bronze.
Similarly, if you have a cool skin tone (olive, dark brown, dark olive, ebony, rosy pink, alabaster, rose beige, and pearly complexion), the best hair color shades would be dark brown, light brown, burgundy brown, cool brown, silvery blonde, pale blond, ash shade, whitish shade, ash gold, taupe, plum, and black.
For coloring your hair at home, the materials you need are the following: hair dye, hair-coloring comb and brush, fine-toothed comb with pointed end, giant hair clips, cotton balls, petroleum jelly, cleansing cream, plastic head cap, rubber gloves, old towels, old newspapers to protect the floors from color drippings, a watch with timer, and perhaps some magazines or books to read while waiting.
Once you have gathered all the items you need, you are all set to do those hair color corrections to get the right hair color for you.
