Best Trending Hair Color For Black Women

One of the best things that happened with the natural hair of  black women was the coloring that followed. Now, we see different colors of hair on the beautiful head of black women and we cannot stop adoring the entire beauty of it all. From red to pink, to purple, even more, daring colors like neon green, or white even.

An important thing to note about hair color is that, it works for different people in different ways.  What fits Woman A, will not fit Woman B. While there is a wide array of colors to choose from, you also have to be sure that the color you are choosing is the right one for you. Hair color is like outfits, it’s not a one size fits all, or in this case, one color fits all. Because our body types differ, we cannot all wear the same thing, our body types are a determining factor with our fashion choices.

The first step to getting the right color for your hair is knowing and understanding your skin undertone.

What are the skin's undertones?

There are three types of skin tones for black people, one is the deep dark skin tone, the other is the dark skin tone and finally, the tan skin tone. The tan skin tone is a little lighter than the dark skin tone, and the deep dark skin is darker than the dark skin. Now, your skin undertone is different from your original skin tone. While these undertones seem rather insignificant, they are very active when they notice another color around them. Whatever colors you are bringing to the party has to match your skin undertone or there will be visible conflict.

Warm skin undertone: The warm skin tone is characterized by a yellow undertone to your skin. In some cases, you might even find some red or gold.

Cool skin undertones: With cool undertones, you will find out that you have either a blue or pink color for undertone.

Neutral skin undertone: Neutral skin undertone is characterized by beige or brown color.

How do you find your undertone?

There are a few ways you can decide what undertone your skin carries.

The vein and the light: This is pretty simple, take your wrist out in natural light and look carefully at it. Search for any of the colors mentioned with your eyes while looking at your wrist(s).

Listen to your jewelry: When you look in the mirror after wearing jewelry, do you think you look better in gold or silver jewelry? Which of these jewelry seems to make the entire skin around it glow. If for you, gold is what brings out your radiance, then there is a chance that you have a warm undertone. If silver is the way you go, then you cool undertone for you. A neutral undertone is indifferent about it, either jewelry color pops on then.

Your eye color: People with cool undertones may have eye colors that are in between blue, gray, and green. While those with warm undertones have eye colors that are between all the shades of brown, from chestnut to hazel, and amber.  

A tan or a burn: When the sun comes burning, do you end up red with sunburns, or do you burn then tan, exposing some more chocolateness to your skin? In some cases, the latter means you have a cool undertone, while the former means you have a warm undertone
