When it comes to choosing the right hair colour, it's essential to consider your skin tone. For those with cool undertones, finding the perfect hair shade can make all the difference in enhancing your natural beauty. Our team of experts are here to share their tips on how to find the best hair colours for cool skin tones.
How to find your skin tone?
Cool skin tones typically have undertones of blue or pink. One way to identify your skin tone is by examining the veins on your wrist. If your veins appear blue or purple, it's likely that you have a cool undertone. Our Principle Colourist Issie Churcher also recommends to explore how your skin reacts to jewellery. Cool-toned individuals tend to look better in silver rather than gold. By understanding your skin tone, you can select hair colours that will complement and flatter your features.
What hair colour suits cool undertones?
Typically cooler and much ashier tones are the best hair colours for cool toned skin, however, for each base shade we would recommend slightly different tones.
Blonde Hair Colours for Cool Skin Tones.
For cool-toned blondes, opting for shades that have a slightly ashy or platinum undertone works best. Think icy blondes, pearl blondes, or even silver blondes. These shades will provide a beautiful contrast against your cool complexion, giving you a striking and sophisticated look.
1- Icy Blonde
Icy Blonde is our most popular blonde shade and is loved by many clients within our Atelier for its cool toned nature. Achieve this shade at home by using our semi-permanent Icy Blonde Gloss or by mixing in an Icy Blonde Colour Corrector to your Permanent Colour.
Brown/Brunette Hair Colours for Cool Skin Tones.
Cool brunettes can experiment with a range of shades, from dark chocolates to cool ash browns. These colours will enhance your overall complexion, creating a harmonious balance. Avoid warm undertones such as golden or reddish browns, as they may clash with your cool skin tone.
1- Ash Brunette
For lighter brunettes, Ash Blonde can be one of the best hair colours for cool skin tones. Achieve this shade by mixing in a Icy Colour Corrector with your Permanent Colour.
2- Smoky Brunette
For dark brunettes, opt for a Smoky Brunette Gloss for the ultimate cool, dark, glossy finish.
Red Hair Colours for Cool Skin Tones:
For those with a cool skin tone, rich and deep reds with blue undertones are ideal. Berry Brunette and Rose Brunette shades can beautifully complement your complexion. These vibrant hues will make a statement while maintaining a cool and sophisticated look.
Other Hair Colours for Cool Skin Tones:
While blondes, brunettes, and redheads have specific shades that work best for their cool skin tone, other hair colours can also be a great choice. If you prefer something more unique, consider trendy colours like Pink Quartz, or even Blue Reef for those who are more daring. These unconventional shades can add a touch of edginess and individuality, making you stand out in the best possible way.
