How should you pick a Clairol hair color?
Clairol recommends that you pick your hair color by deciding which of the below is your own natural skin tone:
Cool Tone: You have cool tone skin if you have light to fair skin with green, blue or gray eyes. You should choose hair color with cool or neutral tones. These would be colors with the word ash in them. They should not have any red or gold highlights or tones. You can also pick neutral or champagne colors. These are colors that have no warm or cool tones
Warm Tone: You have warm tone skin if you have golden, olive or dark skin with dark eyes. You should choose hair color shades with warm or neutral tones. Warm hair color shades will help brighten hair that looks a little mousey. Choose hair colors with gold or red highlights or tones. You can also choose neutral or champagne hair color shades.
What advice does Clairols hair colorist expert have about changing your hair color with the seasons?
Clairols color director and celebrity colorist, Brad Johns, believes that your hair color should change with the seasons. He advises women to choose lighter, brighter hair color in the spring and summer and warmer and darker hair color in the fall and winter. You can make these changes by starting with your own natural hair color and picking a hair color that is either one or two shades darker or one or two shades lighter then your own natural hair color or the Clairol hair color that you are now using.
