Avoid naturally cool people should avoid yellow, red and bronze tones to the hair - makes you seem sallow and drawn.

The best hair color shades for a cool toned person are shinny raven-wing blacks, cool ash browns, cool blondes in shades ranging from mink to platinum and icy white. Highlights should be wheat, honey, taupe or ash shades. Stick to neutral, ash and beige bases when choosing a hair color. You're also fortunate enough to be able to wear many exciting "unnatural" hair colors like lipstick reds, burgundies, and orchids, purples.

Warm Category - If you are more than 2:

Skin Tone:

Natural Hair Color:
Deep brown with red or gold highlights, Red, Strawberry Blonde, Gray with a Yellow Cast, Natural Golden Blonde.

Eye Color:
Golden Brown, green, green - blue, turquoise, hazel with brown or gold flecks

You should avoid blue, violet, (beige) and ash based based hair colors which will "wash out" your skin color.

You'll find dark, warm browns, chestnuts, rich golden browns and auburn, warm gold and red highlights, and golden blond shades look best on you. Any color that has red-orange or gold base will look great on you. Highlighting is a great way to add warm tones to your hair. Highlight with golden blondes,copper streaks, golden brown shades.
