Home hair colouring kits have come a long way! In fact, newer and advanced formulations now mean that almost anyone can achieve that brilliantly shiny, long lasting colour desired.
The first step in any DIY colour makeover is to determine which shade will suit you best. To achieve this, the two most important factors to consider are your skin tone and natural hair colour. The second step is to decide whether you fancy going lighter or darker. Whatever you decide, as a rule, it is usually best to stay within two or three shades of your natural hair colour for natural and most feature-flattering results.
If you have a dark or olive-based complexion, darker hair colours tend to be best for you.
If your natural hair colour is light brown, try Schwarzkopf LIVE Color XXL in 48 Red Night, medium or dark browns should try 96 Black Red, 99 Deep Black
If you have a pink-based complexion, avoid reds or golden tones which can cause skin to look ruddy. Instead, stick to more neutral tones such as chocolate browns or sandy/beige blondes. If your natural hair colour is black, try 89 Bitter Sweet Chocolate, if it is dark or medium brown, try 66 Cool Brown. If your natural hair colour is light brown then try 02 Chocolate Blonde
If you have a warm-based complexion, choose reds or golden tones which can enhance your warm skin tones. Girls with black hair should try 89 Bitter Sweet Chocolate. Dark or medium browns go for 66 Cool Brown and light browns should try 02 Chocolate Blonde
If you have a pale complexion you are lucky as almost any colour will suit you - just be careful with super dark tones, which could make you look ghostly or older (as the contrast can have an ageing effect).
