The right hair color adds pizzazz to your new haircut and hair style, whether you choose to look trendy or opt for a classic image. Make sure you know how to make your choice of hair color before you go to your favorite hair salon in South Tampa. This way you will not have to go back for any color correction.

Your skin color is one major basis for your choice of hair color., the same way that it determines the color of clothes that suit you. Those of you with pale skin are lucky since almost all hair colors suit you.

Those of you with pink-tinted skin are enhanced by clothes in cool tones of fuchsia, bluish red, black, royal blue or pine green. You will also look good with cool toned hair color such as jet black, cool browns, ash brown, burgundy, ash blonde, sandy blonde, champagne and platinum. Please avoid hair color in golden blonde as well as all shades of red.

Those of you with yellow-tinted skin are enhanced by clothes in neutral tones of red, purple, periwinkle, teal and charcoal grey. You will look good in neutral toned hair color, too, such as deep red, mahogany, chocolate brown, sandy blonde and beige blonde. You should, on the other hand, avoid gold, yellow and orange tints.

Those of you with olive skin are enhanced by clothes in warm tones of red, orange, golden yellow, olive green or rust. Likewise, you will look good in dark hair color as well as warm golden brown, warm golden blonde, warm strawberry blonde, warm red and auburn.

You will know that you have the right hair color that suits your skin tone best if it gives your face a glow and enables you to wear less makeup. You should also take into consideration how much time you will need for root touch ups. More drastic color changes need touch ups more often.

If you’ve seen a color you like in a magazine, bring the clipping to show your professional colorist at your favorite hair salon in South Tampa. He or she will tell you if it suits you and how close you can get it given your natural hair color. Ask for a test on some strands of hair snipped from your nape so that you can see a sample of the final outcome.

You should also be prepared to face people’s common impressions about people with certain hair colors.

People with blonde hair are perceived to be youthful, energetic, bubbly and sexy. On the other hand, they are also perceived to be glamorous and high maintenance. The negative stereotype is the dumb blonde.

People with naturally red hair are a minority. Women with red hair are perceived to be strong, independent and temperamental. The negative stereotype is the femme fatale.

Brunettes or people with brown hair are perceived to be serious, sophisticated, intelligent, competent and stable. The negative stereotype is bland, boring and dull.

Hair color can be damaging to your hair, though. Make sure you get the right hair treatment to prevent this. Deep conditioning is very important, done at least once a week. Despite this, blowdrying should still be kept to a minimum, and should certainly not be done daily. Also keep in mind that the more you lighten your hair, the more fragile it becomes and the more conditioning you will need.

Aside from hair treatments, take care of your hair by using only reliable hair products from trustworthy brands like TIGI and Paul Mitchell.

If you’re not ready to make a permanent commitment to hair color or even just highlights, you can perhaps fake some highlights with the use of hair extensions in the right color.

Of course, your beauty regimen does not stop at your haircut, hair style, hair color and hair treatment. Complete your look with waxing, a manicure and a pedicure, too. Voila, an even more beautiful you!
