Look Younger through Hair Color


Look fabulous is every woman’s lifelong goal. Is there a secret behind this? Besides lifestyle and attitude, mind and spirit, a women should also take care of the visible aspect as skins and hairs. Also, it is not only the hairstyle that plays the crucial role, but also the hair color of your hair that make you look older or make you look younger on the contrary.
Still, gray hairs are not necessarily the mark of getting older as there are persons who go gray at a very early age, which was determined by hereditary reasons. Dyeing gray hair can have amazing results that making us look younger. Besides, the skin will have a more radiant, fresh-looking appearance. Everything stands in the color you choose.
First rule to follow is to stay away from extremes. Therefore, a too dark shade for the hair will only create a big contrast, making the skin look pale and thus accentuating wrinkles and fine lines. On the other hand, by coloring the hair in a lighter color, we will just succeed in giving a washed out, faded aspect to our look. So, what's the best solution? The key is to go for a color that is a few shades lighter than the natural color of your hair (before going gray).
If you're not 100% gray, you shouldn't pick a permanent color, since a semi-permanent or a no ammonia formula can as well do the trick and cover well the gray hairs, giving a beautiful highlights effect. Semi-permanent color is milder and the best thing is that it fades out naturally.
As for the right shade, always consider your natural hair color and your skin complexion. If you are naturally blonde, you'll have to pick a golden tone such as honey blonde in order to get a healthy, glowing look. Browns should opt for chocolate brown, while reds for a more auburn tone.
If you don't have gray hair and still want to look young, make sure you find the perfect color base or choose highlights. Remember that warm shades are so flattering and can make you look younger, glowing and fresh. So, for brunettes, caramel highlights work amazing, while for blondes, honey highlights represent the smartest choice.
