Choose Your Hair Colour Wisely

Mother Nature allocates us our natural hair colour from birth but that doesn’t mean that we have to stick with it all our lives. As we get older our hair pigmentation naturally changes and the sight of the first grey hair can be a traumatic experience.

If we want to maintain a youthful appearance it is absolutely essential to get the colour of our hair correct. The wrong shade is surprisingly ageing. I cannot emphasise enough that you need to take the time to assess your natural skin tone and then decide on a colour that complements your natural tone. It is also a good idea to take note of your eye colour, as this too is very important in assessing what type of shade your hair can take to maintain a natural appearance.

A simple rule of thumb is to keep in mind that when you decide to change your hair colour it is important that in the initial stages you do not go more than three shades lighter or darker than your natural shade as this can result in rather alarming results. If you do wish to make dramatic changes to your hair colour it would be advisable to consult a professional colourist.

The right haircut can also take years off a person. As we age we do tend to become creatures of habit and stick with the hairstyles we loved in earlier times. The addition of a fringe or well-cut layers is a quick and easy way to achieve a more youthful appearance. No matter how much you are attached to long straight hair it can be rather ageing on a more mature woman.

If in doubt it is a good idea to use the services of a professional hair consultant such as found at Miss20. In the privacy of the salon you will be able to look at a wide variety of different hair shades, extensions and wigs to decide which style and colour suits you best and looks most natural. It also means you don’t have to actually change your hair – use extensions to make the change and look trendy such as ombre colouring.

Miss20 is a hair and beauty business specializing in natural hair extensions. We have many years’ experience with hair and are affiliated with our manufacturer, so increasing our expertise over others who may just supply and fit.
