Hair Color Ideas

 

1. Ash Brown

Your naturally black tresses would pair well with diffused notes of silver and brown. Also known as mushroom brown, ash brown is a variant of brunette hair that is inclined towards the many shades of grey. Think of it as a love affair between the brown and silver highlights on the cool side of the spectrum. We feel inspired, already.

2. Auburn

How about tricking people into thinking you’re a natural redhead? After all, like they say, fake it till you make it. Try weaving in brown-based auburn if you’ve got fair skin with pink undertones. What good does that do? It won’t wash out your complexion by counteracting paleness or extreme redness.

3. Golden Ombre

Want to take a walk on the golden side without going all the way in? Golden ombre could be your answer. When you weave in sun-kissed hues of butter, gold and honey they create magic for fairer complexions, while creating a dramatic transition from black to gold. This hair colour trend is still going strong and, in fact, is officially the popular first colour choice among Indian women. Need we say more?

4. Platinum Blonde

Tis the season to flaunt platinum blonde tresses! Following the week up to the big theatrical release, Barbie – we saw the stunning Margot Robbie flaunt her voluminous blonde locks in a couple of hairstyles. From wearing it wavy to donning it in an artistic updo, the hair colour against her light skin tone really popped on the pink carpet. If you have a light skin tone, this cool shade with a silver or pearlescent tincture won’t create a harsh contrast against your face – and will instead hug it!

HAIR COLOURS FOR WHEATISH COMPLEXION

Well, we think it resembles a cup of lightly brewed coffee. So if you go ahead with this one, you should know your decision already smells good.

3. Burgundy Red

If you’re looking to take on the red-hair-don’t-care challenge but are far from ready to commit (which happens to the best of us), try some wine. And by that we mean – try the universal favourite, wine-inspired colour, straight from France. Burgundy red leans toward brown with overpowering hues of red and purple but still isn’t as in-your-face as the rest of the red family. Safe and chic, right?

It also captures the natural light, enriching and elevating your overall look and appeal. To make this hair colour pop further, opt for intricate layering or tight coils and see the magic unfold.
