jazziewazz

I'm black and i'm dark skinned.... if anyone knows who Brandi the singer is well im her skin complexion and i want to die my hair a burgundy brown but i'm not sure if it'll look right on me someone please give me advice on which color i should die my hair

Answer
You mean Brandi, Ray J sister?
Well it all depends on if you are a warm or cool tone.
She seems to be a warm tone
so you should try 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.
Avoid blue, violet, (beige) and ash based based hair colors which will "wash out" your skin color.

How do you know which hair colors fit your skin tone?

Lauris

I have always wanted to dye my hair a dark red color kind of brownish but more red. I am a little concern that if i do that my skin tone won't fit that color. I have light tanish skin a little lighter than my avatar but not by much so i am not sure how red would work for me?

Answer
I also have tan skin and I dyed my hair a reddish color. It compliments tan skin. look at this chart:

How do you determine the best hair color for you based on your skin tone?

It'sa Me,

I think my hair color is a little... not very great so I'm trying to figure out the best hair color for my skin tone, and all I get is these stupid virtual picture hair things... I don't care about what a fake hairstyle looks like on my picture. I need the right color that looks best with my skin tone.

Answer
Well, maybe you're using the wrong type of virtual hairdresser.
Try seventeen.com's, because it works really well.
Or else purchase some different semi-permants or temporary dyes. They can be purchased at specialty beauty shops, like Sally's.
Temporary will just last a wash or two, and semi permanent (depending on how porous your hair is) will last about 10 washes.
Talk to your stylist about possible colors, too. They have little wig tester things that they hold up to your skin that'll get what color'll be pretty for your skin. :]

Generally, warm blondes look good on lighter skin, and the darker your skin, the darker your hair. Try getting highlights and lowlights, and using a glaze (John Freida - Walmart - $10) in your color to boost it.
It's all the rave in Seventeen, but I've used it and am personally in love with it. It keeps your red actually red, as long as you use it. :]

What hair color is best for my skin tone?

cakes

I am pretty pale naturally and have a redness maybe a blueish pink in my skin tone a little bit. I have blue eyes.

I love extreme blonde, red, and black. I like funky colors and love dying my hair.

I am getting my hair done this saturday and would love some hair color suggestions and maybe some funky hair color styles.

Thanks so much.

Answer
just get straight platnm. Blonde, almost white on the bottom, and cherry black on the rest, and a bit more blonde peaking out in the area of your bangs, and get it curly with the black wavy, and the blonde really straight. it will look tight!!!!

What Hair color would complement a neutral skin tone?

girl

My skin tone is neutral fair with a slightly yellow undertone. I tan real easy and when I have brighter shades of red hair it makes my face look yellow. What hair colors go best with this type of skin tone? Which celebrities have this skin tone? Thanks!

Answer
A dark blonde or a very light brown matches that skin tone quite well. My skin tone is almost the same and I also get really tan so, yeah. (:
