What is the hair color that fits you best?

   You have to identify the exact color of your eyes and that of tour skin to find out the right answer. Then you can consult our advice.

Fair skin (pale) and blue or green eyes:

   A dark hair color, like the one chosen by Courtney Cox, the well known actress from "Friends", puts emphasis on the fair skin, like that of Snow White, and it intensifies the color of your eyes. Do you resemble her skin or eyes? Do not be afraid to try a color that is two or three tones darker than your natural color.

Fair skin (warm) and blue or green eyes:

   The splendid color of Kate Hudson's angel-like hair, reflects the light on the cheeks, creating a rosy brightness, which blondes need in order to not look tired. If you resemble Kate, it is ideal to dye your hair in a golden blonde shade.

Dark skin and dark eyes:

   Blonde strands give volume to Jennifer Lopez's brown hair and they create a fine contrast with the dark tone of the skin, creating the impression of bigger and brighter eyes.

Dark skin and blue or green eyes:

   The titian-brown enables the skin of Will Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, to look as if it were kissed by the sun rays and it draws attention to the green eyes. In order to obtain the same effect, apply a titian-red color from the base to the half of the hair's length and let it action for 15 minutes. Then apply the color to the rest of the hair. This part of the hair is more porous, thus it absorbs faster the color.

   Maintain your hair color fresh and bright, using this recipes:

   If you are a blonde, boil two little spoons of rosemary with half a liter of water for five minutes, then let the tea get cold. Filter, then pour the potion on the clean, dried hair. The yellow oil contained by the plant will stick to the hair, offering it more brightness, and more intensity to the color.

   If you are a brunette, mix in a bowl two yolks, a cup of black coffee and a cup of water, until you obtain a paste which you apply on the wet hair. You keep it for ten minutes. Then you wash your hair with shampoo and you can apply the usual styling products. The egg yolk is a natural emollient that helps the hair retain the water, flattening the follicles that have the capacity of reflecting the light. As to the coffee, its coloring properties brighten the colors, no matter how tarnished they were.

   If you are a red-head, mix four strawberries with 60 grams of oxygen water for 20 seconds. Apply mixture on hair, let it action for ten minutes, then wash with shampoo.

   Next, mix two cups of water with one cup apple vinegar and pour over wet hair. You let it action for five minutes, then you wash it out with cold water. Combined with oxygen water, the strawberries set free their coloring pigment and they temporary color the hair, strengthening the base color. The apple vinegar is a natural antiseptic that make the hair brighter and cleaner.
