Hair colour guide for your tresses

Rose (warm): For a person with light-toned skin with pink or porcelain undertones, ruby-reds, cocoa-bean browns and champagne blondes work the best. Hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani suggests, "Fair complexions can carry off most colours, but jet black and ash blonde should be avoided. Warm tones also work wonders."

Brown (warm): Hairstylist Savio John Pereira, says, "For a person with dusky complexion, toasted-pecan brown with hints of gold works the best. Shades of copper should be avoided."

Yellow (cool): For a person with light medium or beige undertones, you can opt for light strawberry blondes, caramel or baby blondes.

Olive (cool): For a person with medium-toned skin with a hint of green undertones, chestnut browns and red hues with cooler notes work the best.

Shades of browns, auburns, reds with a subtle hi-lite create texture and movement. Brown suits most skin tones and is very popular. If you have a swarthy or a tanned complexion, coffee or taffy brown suits the best. If you want a dramatic look, red is the perfect choice for women. Whereas, blonde has a certain zest and is uber popular.
