Tips for coloring your hair

Do you know any woman, over the age of 20, that doesn't color their hair? When you go down the hair color aisle at the drugstore, you may be overwhelmed by all the choices of hair color and highlighting products.

Hair color products have come a long way and they are still improving as we speak.

Here are a few tips for coloring your hair:

1. Stick with a hair color that works with your hair texture and skin tone and eye color. Generally if your skin is pale or pinkish, you should choose a hair color that is on the cooler side. Warmer colors will complement olive and darker skin. Also if you have thick curly brown hair, you probably shouldn't dye it a light blonde.

2. Start with small changes. Even though you may see celebrities totally changing hair color from one week to the next, you are better off (and so is your hair) if you only do gradual changes. If you want to lighten your hair, just go 1 or 2 shades lighter. Add a few highlights around the face for a different look.

3. Take extra special care of your hair if you color it. Add a weekly deep conditioner to nourish the hair.

In short, hair color can be a great way to liven up your hair style without getting a new hair cut. Be sure to always read the directions and do a test run on one of your hair strands before you actually color it.
