Natural hair color is never one color all over.Nothing says summer like perfectly highlighted hair! It brightens up your appearance and gives you that fresh, sunkissed look you’ve been craving all winter. "The darkest part should be where your roots are, and the ends should be lighter, like children's hair. It's also important to maintain a certain level of contrast between your hair color and your skin tone: "Hair that's too light can make you look washed out, and you lose your depth," says Zand. If you have to put on more makeup to make your new color work, you've picked the wrong shade," says Licari. But going too light can be just as aging as going too dark. "A shade or two lighter can be very flattering, especially because skin gets more sallow with age, and a few streaks can wake it up. The bad side? "Ashy, pale shades that are so light they almost look gray." Blondes walk a fine line between too warm and too cool - the trick is finding the just right Goldilocks middle ground of, well, gold locks. "Buttery blonde hair is youthful," says Ferrara.
The good side of going light: golden, Jennifer Aniston-y highlights. If you're set on dark hair, stay in the medium-to-dark chestnut range like Demi Moore, recommends Nikki Ferrara, a colorist at the Marie Robinson salon in New York City.

"Women coloring their own hair tend to leave the color on for too long, and it can get really dark. "Buy a box that's one shade lighter than the color you desire," says Zand. If you're using an at-home hair-color kit, err on the lighter side. "This will add dimension, disguise the grays, and still flatter your complexion," he says. "It will also zap life and color from your face." Licari recommends requesting a single process and highlights that bring your natural hair color one shade lighter. "It can look opaque, which can showcase grays and regrowth," says Licari. Colorists refer to this as the "shoe polish" effect. We've all seen it - and maybe even had it: hair that's so dark and inky that it looks almost blue, doesn't reflect light, and doesn't really even look like hair. That keeps it from looking obviously dyed, and it's much more natural," she says. I always use a color that's two shades lighter than the one I'm using for the back of the head at the hairline, from ear to ear. "The fine hair there grabs onto the color and tends to get dark faster. If you introduce a completely new color, your natural shade will fight it until it oxidizes and turns brassy orange," explains Louis Licari, a colorist and owner of hair salons in New York City and Beverly Hills.Ĭolorist Negin Zand of Salon Benjamin in West Hollywood says another thing that can make hair color look stark and fake is a dark hairline.
If you're a warm blonde like Christie Brinkley, keep to the golden hues that add depth. If you're a dark brunette, don't stray too far from rich tones. When coloring your hair, if you're looking for that "natural" look that no one will suspect is a dye job, you should aim to enhance and enrich your natural color and subtly conceal grays - not do a total 180. The hair color you have is the one you're meant to have: it complements your skin tone and doesn't look artificial.
