Whether coloring your hair professionally or at home, choose the right haircolor to complement your skin tone. Be it all-over color, highlights, or lowlights, the right shade will make your look come to life.

Step 1: Decide on professional salon, or do it yourself 确定一下是去专业的美发沙龙染发，还是自己动手染发
Decide whether you’re going to use a professional salon or an at-home coloring kit. Base your decision on whether you are covering gray, highlighting a natural hair color, or using hair color to completely change your image.

Plan your commitment to hair coloring. Temporary hair colors wash out quickly, semi-permanent products typically last for a couple of months, and permanent dyes will need to be grown out or require frequent root touchups.

Step 2: Use shade selector and color wheel 根据自己的肤色选择头发的颜色
Get out your color shade selector and color wheel. Use a mirror to decide if you have a cool or warm complexion based on your skin tone, eye color, and natural hair color. Remember, the results on the box or swatch are only an approximation of the color.

Cool complexions typically have deep brown or ash-colored hair, with dark brown or dark blue eye color and a medium to olive complexion. Warm complexions feature golden brown, green-blue to hazel eye color, with golden brown to strawberry blonde hair color and a fair to peachy complexion.

Step 3: Examine wardrobe 根据自己的穿衣风格选择头发颜色
Examine your wardrobe to get a feel of what hair color would suit you. Green, blue, and violet are cool shades. Warm hues are reds, oranges, and yellows.

Step 4: try highlights or lowlights 如果不想把全部头发都染色可以选择挑染或局部染色
Try highlights or lowlights if you’re not ready to commit to all-over hair color. Add caramel highlights for a sunkissed look; copper highlights are great for warm complexions; and chunky lowlights add dimension and a modern flair.

Step 5: Experiment 先试染一下，看看你到底适合什么样的颜色
Experiment with your look. Go for the black Goth look you’ve always craved or see if blondes really do have more fun. Opt for a fiery red hue to match your fiery personality. Temporary dyes make experimenting a cinch — after all, it’s only color.

Records from around 3400 B.C.E. indicate Ancient Egyptians used henna to dye their hair red.
