~ Joseph Kellner

The reason why you should give more importance to skin tone rather than eye color, when finding best hair color for blue eyes, is that hair color as we see it is actually the reflection of light of the colored pigments, that are affected by skin tones, in the hair shaft. This is the reason that colored hair looks different in fluorescent light and day light. That is why choosing the right hair color, according to your skin tone becomes very important. To understand how to pick the best hair color for blue eyes, we have to first understand more about our skin tone.

Best Hair Color For Blue Eyes
Skin tones fall in two categories – warm or cool. The best hair color for blue eyes should be based on the category that your skin falls into along with the color of your eyes. If your natural hair color has red, peach or golden tones, then you probably have a warm skin tone. Besides that, freckles or an eye color with golden flecks is also considered a indicator of warm skin coloring. If you have black hair or blond hair with no golden undertones then you probably have a cool skin tone. Cool skin tones most often have pink undertones and appear almost colorless or like porcelain. Usually blue eyes with no hint of green or yellow usually indicates a cool skin coloring. Now that you have figured out what your skin tone is, it’s time to find out the best hair color to flatter your natural tone. Read more on.

Blue Eyes and Fair Skin: There are a lot of choices for people who are fair skinned. The best hair color for blue eyes and fair skin are warmer shades that help complement the skin tone. If you have fair skin and light colored eyes and neutral blond hair, choosing a hair color of warm chestnut shades and coppery reds are great choices. For fair skinned brunettes with blue eyes, hair colors for your skin tone are colors like honey brown or copper brown. Golden or light red highlights are great options for highlights that will embellish your natural brown.

Blue Eyes and Olive Skin: The best hair color for blue eyes and olive skin is to go for cool color undertones. If you have blond hair then it is best to go for beach sand, ash or beige colors. You can also use a blue black kind of color. For hair color ideas for brunettes with blue eyes, coffee or chestnut colors look best.

Three Ways To Update Your Color!

Three Ways to Update Your Hair Color!

ENRICH YOUR BASE COLOR 

Don’t try to cover up the color you were born with. Enhance it. Work with your colorist to figure out what hues are hidden below your surface. The idea is to find shades in your hair color’s family and bring out the warm, rich tones by adding more of that color. For example, if you have dark brown hair, chances are you also have some auburn/red in the mix. Bring those tones out by adding lowlights all over but always remember the under-tones of the customers hair. If you are going to warm up the base color after your highlights have been completed use a Green based tint and 20 or 30 volume to control the warmth. Never leave your formula on longer than 5 minutes after your application. You will acheive beautiful and natural base colors with this method.  ALWAYS USE A GREEN BASE COLOR!

Look to The Stars For Shades

Check out celebrities wearing the  hair color you covet, and observe how they switch their shades for the season, NEVER BE A COPY-CAT! Stay within one or two shades (darker or lighter) of your current or natural hue. And always remember you are dealing with artifical hair color the color will hold true for 2-3 weeks and then the fadage process will begin to appear. I recommend La Rose shampoo for cleansing the hair and preventing unwanted hair color fadage. La Rose Shampoo is a mild sulfate free shampoo, with coconut oil that gently cleanses the hair.  Essential nutrients restore the natural beauty of your hair and balances out deficiencies.

Now Customize It!

Now that you’ve narrowed down the shade you like, bring the photo along on your consultation so you and your stylist can develop a personalized look.  It’s also smart to ask questions. Talk about the colors in your wardrobe — are you more browns, grays or blacks? Pastels or bold colors? This will help inform how much of what color is placed where. Always remember to use the proper hair care for you hair color. In my salon we recommend Kalae Rose Hair Care. Weekly treatments are necessary for color treated hair, Kalea Rose Passion is the best you can use on the hair for treatments. Passion Conditioner is formulated with proteins and amino acids that mimic the “natural moisturizing factor” of healthy skin and hair. This product can be used as a daily conditioner and aslo as a weekly at home treatment. Follow up with Sleek Cream for a smooth luxurious finish. Sleek Cream leaves hair shiny and soft without heavy oils and build up.
