What color should I dye my hair?
Work out whether your undertone is warm, cool or neutral, answer a few questions about upkeep and how bold you want to go, and get three shades to try on your own photo before you dye.
Look at the veins on your wrist in daylight. What color are they?
Your undertone matters more than how light or deep your skin is.
Find your undertone
Look at the veins on your inner wrist in daylight: mostly green suggests warm, mostly blue or purple suggests cool, and a mix suggests neutral. Gold jewelry flattering you more than silver also points to warm.
Upkeep and boldness
Shades far from your natural color show roots sooner and may need lightening first. If you want low upkeep, stay within two levels of your natural color; if you want a statement, copper, cherry or platinum make the most change.
Try before you buy
Take the three suggested shades to the fitting room and compare them on your photo with your skin tone checked, then bring your favorite to your colorist.
