The Look In Your Eyes

The colour of your eyes can say a lot about the type of person you are, as they’re often referred to as the window to your soul. Not only this, but they are also a great indication as to what type of hair colour will best suit you, as certain colours clash, and others bring out the colours in your eyes. So, here are the best colours suited to your glowing eyes:

Blue – lighter hair colours such as ashy blondes and golden, light brown, go best when your eye colour is lighter.
Brown – if its a natural look that you’re going for, then a warm brown or even a dark black will look stunning up against your eye colour.
Green – brunette tones make your green eyes pop, and for those willing to be a little more daring, red hair matches perfectly with the glisten of green.

If you’re looking for a new hair colour to match your big bright eyes, then head over to our professional hair salon in Milton Keynes, where a number of our hairdressers specialise in hair colour. We can perfectly match your luscious locks to the colour of your eyes.

Blonde Bombshell

Let’s face it, we have all been hair envious of Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence with their stunning and effortless blonde locks. It is so often the case that we want to look exactly like our idols, and platinum blonde hair seems to be the in colour this season. However, being a little too keen to bleach your hair blonde with a box hair colour can leave you with yellow, patchy and even worse, broken hair! Maintaining blonde hair when you’re naturally a brunette or even darker can prove difficult and expensive. With the help from a professional hairdresser, achieving that blonde bombshell dream of yours is easy. Before taking the plunge, would you actually suit this golden beach babe?

Fair Skin	Ashy blondes are likely to make you look a little washed out, so we would suggest opting for honey and golden tones. Alternatively, you could always add a few blonde highlights to softly lighten the hair.
Medium Skin	Honey shades are the go-to for medium skin tones, you could even go a couple of shades lighter if you’re daring enough.
Olive Skin	A lush caramel blonde shade works beautifully with olive skin, making your skin look radiant and fresh.
Dark Skin	Although you may need to avoid going too light, the majority of blonde shades should go well with dark skin, especially caramel and butterscotch tones.

How To Care For Blonde Hair

If you’re wanting to go for blonde hair, then you are going to need to be willing to spend a little extra cash in getting the right products to ensure your locks remain healthy. There are multiple methods and products that you can use to protect your hair. Here are some of the best products to use to ensure that your blonde hair doesn’t end up snapping and looking like straw:

Sulphate Free Shampoos

Shampoos that contain sulphate can strip your hair from its natural oils, leaving it looking and feeling extremely dry, some of the best products to use include:

Hair Oils

When bleaching your hair, the natural pigment is removed, which can leave your hair extremely damaged. For this reason, an oil that nourishes and moisturises your hair is vital. Why not try using one of these products:

Deep Conditioner

Ensuring that you have a deep conditioner or a hair mask to treat yourself to once a week, will help you to maintain your blonde appearance ready for your next colouring:

Heat Protector

When your hair has already been damaged through the stripping of your natural hair, it is important to make sure that you continue to protect your hair when applying heat through the use of some heat protector:

The Bets On Brunettes

Brunette is one of the most beloved hair colours, with its easy maintenance and thousands of glorious shades suited to everyone and anyone. Luckily, brunette is a colour that pretty much anyone can pull of; whether it is a light brown with a few highlights or a dark brown to keep it warm in the winter, you can be sure to find the perfect shade for you.

The brown tones running through your hair can be perfectly matched to your eye colour and skin colour, ensuring that it makes you look and feel radiant, rather than washed out and tired. If you’re looking for that dream, rich and chocolatey brown, then here are the best shades suited to your skin tone:

Fair Skin	To avoid looking a little bit like a ghost, it’s best to stay away from the really dark shades. Opt for reddy tones which will look stunning against your skin.
Medium Skin	Caramel and light brown shades, of which also look stunning if you were to go lighter. However, try to avoid going too light as this could wash you out.
Olive Skin	Rich brunette with a mixture of ashy shades look flawless with medium skin tones, especially when you have greeny/browny eyes.
Dark Skin	With dark skin, you can get away with most of the brunette tones and shades out there, so it’s best to speak to a specialist about how to achieve your favourite without going too light on the colour chart.

Although there are multiple brown box dyes in various drug stores, you’re likely never to get the colour you desperately need ready for the weekend, without seeing a professional hairdresser. At the hairdresser’s, a specialist stylist is able to mix together the perfect combination of tones and shades to create the colour you’ve been longing for. So, why not book in for hairdressing in Milton Keynes, and stop dreaming about healthy, luxurious hair!

Head Of Red

Now, most people aren’t daring enough to go red, which is a shame considering it looks glorious in both the summer and winter when done by a professional. The rich tones and glossy shine will most definitely make you stand out from the crowd, and in a good way! Much to everyone’s surprise, red is actually a colour that suits pretty much anyone, as long as you find the perfect shade suited to your skin tone:

Fair Skin	Much like going brunette, try and avoid darker tones, and opt for a beautiful strawberry blonde or even a copper tone. Rose gold is a popular colour that can help you achieve this look.
Medium Skin	Try and avoid purple undertones if possible, as this can make your skin look a little yellow. Instead, try and find the perfect bright red to contrast your skin tone.
Olive Skin	Auburn shades are ideal for those with medium skin tones, and again, you should also try to avoid purple undertones.
Dark Skin	A dark red that looks almost brunette will look exceptional against dark skin tones, giving you a rich wave of locks. Try your best to avoid lighter reds, as this can make you look a little washed out.

Black Goddess

Going bold with black hair is definitely a statement worth making, giving your hair that healthy and fresh look while keeping maintenance time at a low. Black hair can make you look glamourous when done right and matched to your skin tone. Unlike other hair colours, black is one that not everyone can delve into, unless your one for not following to crowd, of course. To ensure that you don’t end up looking washed out and tired, here are the best black shades suited to your skin tone:

Fair Skin	Unfortunately, there are only a handful of fair skin individuals that can take on the bold black hair colour. However, you are welcome to speak with our specialists to see if your one of the lucky few!
Medium Skin	The same goes for medium skin, and a dark brunette may be more suitable for your skin tone.
Olive Skin	If you’re looking to go black and not come back, then we would suggest using blue undertones for a beautiful halo effect when in the sun.
Dark Skin	Jet-black looks utterly stunning against dark skin. Unlike olive skin, you should try and avoid blue undertones as it may look discoloured against your skin.

Magical Rainbow

Having a hair full of every colour in the rainbow, whether it be rich deep colours or pastel tones, is something that everyone has to do at least once in their life. Lilacs, greys and pastel pinks seem to be extremely popular at the moment, such as the ombre effect or showing dark roots for easy maintenance. Although it may seem like a tempting thing to do, it is extremely important that you seek the advice and help of a professional to dye your hair. The reason for this is because you will need to lighten your hair – which means bleaching – before you start putting colour over it. When not done professionally, you could end up with yellow tones running through your gorgeous coloured hair.

Pastel and deep colours look fantastic on a range of skin tones, as long as you stick to the guidance given above, you should be all set to go wild! Places such as Pinterest are a great way to gather an idea of what rainbow colours would suit you best. Alternatively, you could always take a look at Schwarzkopf’s guide to pastel hair colours that suit you.
