Permanent Hair Dye

As for the semi-permanent hair dyes, it typically lasts for a month or two and can be changed if desired upon fading of the color. For the temporary hair dyes, these colors wash out after one to two sessions of shampooing and are meant for short-term use on a certain occasion.

Identify Your Color Personality

Either you belong to the warm or the cold category based on the color and tone of your eyes, skin as well as hair. Cold categories include hair colors ranging from the blue, deep dark, brown, platinum blond. The eye color resembles the same shade ranging from black, dark brown, gray-blue, and hazel. The skin color in this category ranges from dark brown to medium pale with golden or bronze undertones. Warm categories include a hair color of deep brown with reddish or golden highlights, blonde, gray-yellow, and golden blonde.

As for the eyes, colors range from golden brown, green, blue-green hazel with golden brown flecks. For the skin tone, color ranges from light brown with pinkish or golden undertones, peach, white and pale with golden undertones. The rule of thumb here is that when you belong to a certain category, whether you stay in the same category and pick colors within the range as identified by the category, or neutralize prominent warmth or coldness by trying to use colors that are opposite the category but not too far from the shade of the eyes and skin.

Added Highlights

For those who are quite conservative in altering the color of their hair, adding highlights is a great way of adding a style and tone to a plain monochromatic hair without losing the natural shade of the hair completely.
