A new hair color is a quick way to update or recharge your look and it can be fun and uplifting to do. The right shade can compliment your skin tone, brighten your eyes and enhance your natural coloring, but we all know how devastating it can be when the color is all wrong! The most basic rule of hair color is to make it look as natural as possible and as a general rule of thumb, don't go more than two shades away from your natural color. The secret is to select a hue that complements your skin tone. Here are some shades to look for in home-color-kits (or to request at the salon).
