How do you choose your perfect colour? Seeking professional advice (either from a colourist or from a cosmetician at your local drugstore) is crucial. Though your eye colour and skin tone are the biggest determining factors in choosing hair colour, another important variable is your personality.
Red
Who are you? A gorgeous woman who doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. You’re a born leader and you’re easy to talk to—everyone wants you at their party!
Looks best on: Pale, peachy complexions with light brown, blue or green eyes. If you have any freckles, red tones are a given for you.
Fast fact: Red is the hardest colour to maintain and requires meticulous maintenance to prevent pigment from washing down the drain.
Famous redheads: Lucille Ball, Rita Hayworth, Julianne Moore, Debra Messing.
Blond
Who are you? A risk taker who’s bubbly, beautiful and loves to be looked at. Contrary to popular belief, you’re whip smart and able to laugh off all those dumb blond jokes!
Looks best on: Fair to medium skin tones, with eyes ranging in colour from hazel to baby blue.
Fast Fact: More than 70 percent of the world’s population is brunette, but blond is the most requested colour.
Famous Blonds: Grace Kelly, Marilynn Monroe, Scarlett Johansson, Britney Spears.
Brunette
Who are you? A woman who’s never boring, ever mysterious and exotic. A nonconformist, you have a sultry allure but are the consummate professional.
Looks best on: Medium and darker complexions, with deep blue or smouldering espresso eyes.
Fast fact: The darker your hair, the more volume your tresses will appear to have. Richer tones add the illusion of bulk.
Famous brunettes: Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Lopez, Natalie Portman.
Still undecided? Why not try a few shades on for size. Brunette hair with warm caramel highlights looks stunning, or sizzling red with a hint of blond is extra spicy. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
