???? How to Choose the Right Hair Colour for Your Skin Tone

Choosing the perfect hair colour isn't just about following trends—it’s about finding the shade that enhances your natural beauty. At HK Hair Studio in Cambridge, we believe that when your hair colour complements your skin tone, your entire look becomes brighter, healthier, and more balanced.

Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the right colour for your skin tone:


???? 1. Determine Your Skin Tone

There are two main categories:

  • Cool tones: Your skin has pink, red, or bluish undertones.

  • Warm tones: Your skin has yellow, golden, or olive undertones.
    (Quick tip: If silver jewellery suits you better, you're likely cool-toned. If gold suits you more, you’re probably warm-toned.)


???? 2. Best Hair Colours for Cool Skin Tones

If you have a cool skin tone, go for:

  • Ash blonde

  • Cool brown

  • Black with blue or violet undertones

  • Platinum blonde
    These shades will balance your undertones and bring a fresh contrast.


☀️ 3. Best Hair Colours for Warm Skin Tones

If your skin has a warm undertone, try:

  • Golden blonde

  • Honey brown

  • Warm chestnut

  • Copper and caramel
    These shades will enhance the warmth in your skin, giving a natural glow.


???? 4. Neutral Skin Tones Can Wear Almost Anything

Lucky you! If your undertones are neutral, you can pull off both warm and cool tones. Just make sure the colour matches your personality and lifestyle.
