The Determining Factor
The determining factor which decides what colour suits your hair is your skin tone. The majority of People go on colouring their hair without understanding this concept, and the results are disastrous, it can vanish your interest in hair colour forever. What we need to understand is, that the majority of us Indians have a warm skin tone, hence, we should always settle for warm shades like burgundy, blonde, or brown. Those who are comparatively with fair complexion can go for these same colours or can highlight with shades of cool(light) colours like blue or purple. Always remember if you are trying cool colours, try to keep their intensity to the bare minimum (P.S. they should be visible only when light falls on the hair).

Hair Care Tips After Hair Color
No matter how much colours enhance your look, at the end of the day, they are heavy chemicals and are ultimately damaging your hair. So, if you don’t take care of your hair properly, your colour will fade away soon and also, you won’t have hair to experiment with the next colour of your choice.
o Use Sulfate-free shampoos
Sulfate not only strips off your costly hair colour but also snatches the essential oils and moisture from your scalp. So, if you want to make your hair colour and your hair last long, you should shift to good quality sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Also, wait for at least 72 hours after colouring your hair before you shampoo. This gives the colour time to firmly grip your hair. Recommended Product - Mamaearth Onion Shampoo and Conditioner

You should use cold water to wash your hair always during the shower. Warm water opens up your hair cuticles and thus slowly releases all the colour stored. So, if you want your colour to last long, you should opt for cold showers more often than hot ones.
o Don’t Wash Hair Unnecessarily
Don’t wash your hair unnecessarily, wash your hair only when necessary. If you feel your scalp is itchy or see dandruff, then only wash your hair. There are no such standard shampooing routines as every 3 days shampooing your hair. Instead, shampoo when you feel like it.
o Use Heat Protectant
If you prefer styling your hair too much, always remember to give a touch-up of heat protectant to your hair. Be it a serum, or hair mousse, you should take proper precautions to maintain your hair health to the fullest.
