________________________________________________
Dying your hair can be unpredictable and tricky to get just right. Many people opt for a colour they like without considering their skin tone and what will suit them. Treatments such as bleaching can also damage the hair and scalp, so it's important to think carefully about very drastic changes before hitting the salon.
Rules of the game
As a general rule, it's usually best to stick within two or three grades of your original hair colour to avoid your dye job looking obvious or unflattering. For example, if you're a brunette, try a more natural shade of dark blonde instead of bleaching excessively. Natural blondes can do light to mid-brown successfully but may struggle with very dark shades like cedar. Those with warmer skin colour (think peachy or yellow undertones) will do better with a corresponding warm shade. A cool skin tone such as pink will be offset by cooler shades like ash blonde or blue-black.
