But first, let’s understand the color types

The market is flooded with a range of formulas or colors for the hair to change shades from one to the next. Each of them claiming to be safe and apt for dark skinned women too; making the hair look super sexy, gorgeous and vibrant as well.

  1. There are many color rinses available, which are easy on the hair, gentle to use and sans the indulging of ammonia and peroxide in them. You get more depth and shine to the natural hair you have with a touch of color, and you don’t have to visit a parlor for the same. It does wash out over time, which means you have to retouch the hair with the color rinse once in two weeks for the vibrancy to remain. The concept of temporary hair colors are for those who wish to have their hair colored for a short period of time; as the name suggests, temporary. It lasts for three washes to the max and as the color rinses off, you would need to retouch in a fortnight. You don’t need to pre lighten your hair, and there are no harsh chemicals in the hair color as well. Temporary hair colors only coat the cuticles and don’t enter them.
  1. A notch up from the color rinse and the temporary hair color, you can use semi-permanent hair color for longevity of the vibrancy and color on your hair. The formula when applied to the hair would seal the color into the hair; use a hair dryer for half an hour to do so. Most companies manufacture chemical free hair dyes, especially for hair that has already been processed. The color change wouldn’t be drastic and would last for a month or six washes.
  1. When you use semi permanent hair colors, it would have chemicals in small amounts- peroxide and not ammonia. This means, your hair wouldn’t be lightened but the natural color would be enhanced. Even the grays would be covered and the vibrancy stays for at least twenty or more washes thereafter.
  1. Professional permanent colors for the hair will bring a significant change you are looking for. These formulas have peroxide and ammonia in them. Here the colors stay for longer and wouldn’t wash out but would fade as the hair length increases over time. If the hair has been chemically processed a while back; use only colorist specific hair dyes or else the hair would be damaged.

What shades go best with dark and black skin?

Now that we gave you the dough on the types of hair colors available in the market, let’s check with the shades that best suit dark warm skin undertones.

What shades go best with dark and black skin

  •  If you fancy streaking your hair or going global with darkest blondes, much on the lines of Deepika Padukone (Bollywood diva), dirty dark blondes are best for your skin tone- moderate wheatish to dark skin.

For a touch of copper balayage or ombre, it would be nice to have a fiery red undertone mixed with copper and used for a very warm flattering look on dark and ebony skin. Highlights too would look awesome; remember the shade worn by Lara Dutta (Miss Universe India).

  •  Chocolates in dark to medium shades for the hair would be nice on wheatish skin since it enhances the natural skin tone you are born with, with a warm undertone touch.
  • Caramel highlights are best for women with light chocolate to moderate chocolate skin tones, for example, BIG BOSS 10 runner up Lopamudra Raut had a touch of caramel highlights and reflects all over her hair.
  • Subtle gold and caramel hints can add more depth to the hair on very dark skinned ladies.
  • Honey and chocolate reflects with gold tones can be best used on women with matte dark skin tones; Bipasha Basu is a perfect example for the same.
  • Platinum streaks and not global would be best suited for Indian women with dark and ebony skin tones. It is more close to a white blonde and can do a lot of damage to the hair if not maintained well.
  • Reds are hot, and can be worn rich and vibrant if you have the right attitude to carry it; one example to give here would be Hollywood singer Rihanna.
  • Chocolate blues would be perfect for women that are in their 20s and still in college; helps bring more oomph to the ebony skin tones they have and adds pizzazz to their status quo too.

  • Bright fashion colors are best for women that want to make the world a colourful place; any skin tone can use it and it looks best on very dark skinned tones when glossy fashion bright shades are used.

For moderate brown skin tones, you have a variety of colors to choose from ranging from the caramel shade to the rich surburn shade. Keep the color neutral instead of an extreme light or extreme dark shade.
