In my career as a cosmetologist, I鈥檝e seen really beautiful hair, but even more really bad hair聽color. Why? Most people have a difficult time answering one question: 鈥渁m I a cool or a warm?鈥�

Believe it or not, this simple question makes听补濒濒听the difference in the world and is the deciding factor as to whether or not you end up with a great hair color…or a not-so-great hair color.

So, how do you determine whether you鈥檙e a 鈥渃ool鈥� or a 鈥渨arm?鈥� The easiest way is to take a white piece of paper and hold it next to your face when looking in a mirror, then examining the undertone of your skin. If you鈥檙e a 鈥渃ool,鈥� your skin will have a blush, pinkish undertone; if you鈥檙e warm, your skin looks golden or olive.

To add to the mix, you can be a cool blonde or brunette 鈥� or warm blonde or brunette (confused yet?)!

• Cool blondes appear ashier 鈥� Think about the beach鈥檚 sandy shoreline.
• Warm blondes will appear to be more golden 鈥� Think sun-kissed and warm.
• Cool brunettes look ashier 鈥� These colors are cooled off usually with rich blue/violet undertones.
• Warm brunettes appear more golden 鈥� These colors are more caramel and bronze.
