What colour should I dye my hair?

2024/2/21 Edited to

... Read moreChoosing a new hair color can be super exciting, but also a little overwhelming with all the amazing options out there! I know I'm always asking myself, "What color should I dye my hair next?" It’s tough when you want something fresh and unique, but also something that truly suits you. One of the best ways I’ve found to get inspiration is by looking at comprehensive color charts, like the MANIC PANIC hair dye chart. It’s a game-changer! Seeing all those distinct color swatches, each labeled with its specific shade name, really opens your eyes to possibilities beyond the usual blonde or brown. You can explore a wide spectrum of vibrant and pastel hair colors, from electric blues and neon greens to soft lavenders and rose golds. I spend ages just scrolling through, imagining what each shade would look like! When you're trying to figure out the best hair color for you, especially if you're looking for unique colors to dye your hair, it’s always helpful to consider your skin tone. For example, if you have a cooler complexion or what some call 'pink skin,' certain hair dye colors will just pop! Think about cool-toned shades like ash browns, platinum blondes, deep purples, or even a stunning sapphire blue. These can beautifully complement your undertones. On the other hand, warmer tones like coppers or golden blondes might clash a bit, but it really depends on the specific shade and your personal style. Beyond just the color, there are so many hair dye style names and techniques to consider. Are you thinking of a full head of a bold new color, or perhaps a more subtle approach like ombré, balayage, or peekaboo highlights with cool colors to dye hair? Each style creates a totally different vibe. And then there are the different hair dye types names – semi-permanent for a temporary splash of fun, or a more permanent option if you're ready for a long-term commitment. Brands like Good Dye Young also offer fantastic color charts and unique hair dye colors if you’re looking for alternatives to Manic Panic. I’d love to hear your opinions and experiences! What hair dye colors have you tried that you absolutely loved? Do you have any favorite dye color names or brands? If you've ever used a salon hair color book for inspiration, what did you learn? And most importantly, what do you think would be a fantastic, unique color for me to try next? Your insights are super valuable!

I’m 43 and I no longer dye my hair!
I ditched the dye over a year ago! A lot of people tell me I'm too young too let my hair go, and I should wait until I'm fully grey. I say No! For one, the transition from colored hair to grey when you're fully grey, is brutal! And why skip over the most fun part of going grey? May
