Finding the Perfect Shade for Your Skin Tone

We’re about to drop a hot take here so, keep an open mind and hear us out, will you? Here it goes: everyone can look good with brown hair. It’s all just a matter of finding the right kind of brown to wear. 

Thinking of dyeing your hair brunette? Well, there’s no better time than now. Brown hair is no longer a rebellious statement, it's a mainstream trend! With a spectrum of brown shades to choose from, finding the perfect shade for your skin tone can feel overwhelming so why don’t you let us help you find the right shade of brown for you? 

Understanding Your Skin Tone:

The first step is identifying your skin tone. Look at your veins on your wrist:

• Cool Undertones: If your veins appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. This means your skin has pink, blue, or reddish hues.

• Warm Undertones: Greenish veins indicate warm undertones, with skin that leans towards yellow, golden, or peachy tones.

• Neutral Undertones: If you can't decide between blue and green, you might have neutral undertones, the lucky ducks who can rock a wider range of colors.

Now, let's match your skin tone to the perfect brown:

Cool Complexions

Embrace the boldness with cool-toned browns like ash brown, mushroom brown, espresso and mocha. These shades will complement your brown undertones and create a striking contrast. Think vibrant taupe or cool chocolate hair color with some highlights.

Warm Complexions

Opt for warm-toned brown with blonde undertones. These shades will harmonize with your golden or yellow skin and create a sun-kissed glow. Think soft caramel, cinnamon, chocolate or even terracotta.

Neutral Complexions

Experiment with a wider range of browns, from cool-toned bronde to warm-toned beige.  You can even explore bolder shades like tan or champagne for a truly eye-catching look.

Pro Tips for Brown Perfection:

• Consider Your Hair Type: Fine hair might benefit from lighter browns that add volume, while thicker hair can handle bolder, darker shades.

• Think Maintenance: Brighter browns will require more frequent touch-ups. Consider a darker shade if you prefer a lower-maintenance approach.

• Embrace the Consultation: Consult a hairstylist! They can analyze your skin tone, hair health, and desired look to recommend the perfect shade and application technique.

Brown hair is a fun and expressive way to showcase your personality.  With these pro tips, you'll be rocking the perfect brown shade that flatters your unique beauty!
