Choosing your most flattering hair color isn’t about following trends—it’s about harmony. Your skin undertone determines which shades enhance your complexion and which make it appear dull. This guide reveals how to find your perfect match—and keep your color luminous—with Hair Folli’s vegan care.
• Warm undertones: caramel, honey, or copper tones enhance glow.
• Cool undertones: ash, mocha, and espresso shades add balance.
• Neutral undertones: can wear almost any color—from beige to rose gold—effortlessly.
Matching color to undertone creates natural harmony and enhances your overall radiance.
Understanding Skin Undertones
Your undertone is the consistent hue beneath your skin that affects how every color looks on you.
- Warm: golden, peach, or olive base.
- Cool: pink or bluish base.
- Neutral: balanced between warm and cool.
Simple ways to find yours:
- Vein Test: Green veins = warm; blue = cool.
- Jewelry Test: Gold flatters warm tones; silver suits cool tones.
- White Fabric Test: Yellowish reflection = warm; pinkish = cool.
