Expert Answer

Take a look at the veins on your wrist to see if your palate is warm or cool. Cool-toned skin tends to make your veins look blue, while warm-toned skin makes your veins look green.

Expert Answer

Think about your personal style preferences. Do you naturally gravitate to warm-colored clothes, or cool-colored ones? Are you a fan of gold jewelry, or do you prefer silver? Honey or gold-blonde hair might be good if you prefer warm tones and gold accessories, while a cooler blonde tone might be better if you're a fan of silver.

Question

If I only want to dye it once and then let it grow out, would it be better to ombre my hair?

Community Answer

Possibly. Ombre is more on the ends of your hair, but it can be to the roots, depending what color it is.

Question

Is there an age limit for getting your hair dyed?

Community Answer

There isn't an official age requirement, but if you're a child, most stylists will not do it without your parent's permission.

Question

I have dark brown hair and pale skin. Would caramel highlights look good?

Community Answer

Light brown highlights would look better than caramel, because caramel would be too much of a contrast.

Question

Would I look good with blonde hair if I am tan?

Community Answer

Yes. There are many blonde women who are tan and look good. That said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone has a different opinion.

Question

I have a pretty pale complexion, and my hair is a golden brown color. Would blondish highlights look nice?

Community Answer

Blond highlights will make you look even paler than you already are, so unless that is the look you want, go for darker highlight like a red, blue, purple or even an darker shade of brown.

I have naturally dark brown/black Asian hair (never dyed before). My skin is a bit gold/tan, but not super dark. Any suggestions for color?

Question

I have dark brown hair, but paler skin. Would red highlights work?

Community Answer

Yes. But keep in mind that it would make your hair look darker than it already is against your skin.
