Determining Your Seasonal Color Palette
Step One
|

Is Your Hair Light or Dark?
|
|
For a quick and easy color analysis, select the side of the hair color scale that best represents the "lightness" or "darkness" of your hair. If you have salt and pepper gray hair, choose the color that is closest to your hair color if the salt and pepper gray were blended together or your previous natural hair color.
If this step is difficult for you - look at yourself (out of focus) in a magnifying mirror. Highlights and lowlights tend to blend together for an overall hue which will then make it easy for you to select light or dark.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SEASON!
Step Two
|
|
Warm or Cool Tone Hair
Dark Hair
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have decided that you have DARK hair, like the model here. The next decision you must make is if your hair is warm in tone or cool. Warm tone hair has golden or red highlights. Dark and cool tone hair is completely absent of gold or red. It may be brown or black, but has no gold or red in it. Choose either warm tone or cool tone hair.

You are a Summer
|
|
Your overall coloring is the most delicate and understated of all the seasons. Summer is the serenity palette, so you should always avoid harsh contrasts by keeping the entire look calm and in complete harmony.
