What's Your Color? (Hair Color That is) 
 
by Anika Logan August 02, 2005

A new hair color is a fantastic way to breath new life into a tired old look. It can give your locks a lift not to mention your spirits. A good color can add pizzazz, drama and fun to your hair. But are there things you should know before you get started? Of course. Choosing the proper color can be tricky. Let me give you some pointers.

Natural Looking Hair

Hair color should look as natural as possible, not brassy or artificial but just right. The most important thing to do before coloring is to ensure that your hair is in the best condition possible. If not, it could be damaged further by the coloring process. For the best results, it is wise to stay within two shades of your natural hair color.

The Key to Finding an Appropriate Color

The key to finding a color that’s appropriate for you means choosing between warm and cool shades. Differentiating between colors can be confusing especially with the variety that are out there to choose from. The best way to make the right choices is to decide on what your natural coloring is in regard to hair, eye and skin tones. Do you fall into the warm or cool category? Get a friend or relative to help you answer these questions before going any further.
