Short hair comes with its
own bag of hair coloring tricks. Color is one of those personal decisions that
causes a lot of soul-searching for a lot of people.
Just like with any short
haircut, it rarely works out to "impulse color." I’ll
bet most hair stylists wish they had a buck for every
person
who walked into their salon moaning about their new hair
hue, "What was I
thinking?"
Take a long, hard look at your own hair
color in reference to your short
hair. How do you like it? Many of us were blondes when
we were babies, but not all of us kept that golden hair.
In fact, the majority of us didn't.
Just as your hair shape should determine the type of
short hair style that you
select, your skin color has a great deal to do with what your
hair color should be. If you’ve ever had your colors
done and know whether you are a Winter, Spring, Summer,
or Fall, then you’ll have a pretty good idea of your
skin tone.
In general, most of us can be categorized as Warm
(warm skin tones of gold, brown, olive, etc.) or Cool
(cooler skin tones of blue-white, rose, etc.). When
Warms use the cooler hair colors (black, dark brown, and
so on), it sometimes can make the contrast between skin
and hair too harsh. Same goes for Cools using warmer
hair colors (reds, light browns, and so on).
As a rule, most people will look best in hair colors
with the same tone as their skin. For example, warm skin
tone will look best with warm hair colors.
Remember that hair color is a lot like wallpaper—one
little swatch can look pretty good. But you have to
imagine all your hair (or all your wall) that
color. If you are not quite ready to make that leap to
new color, try some of the temporary color hair mascaras
and paints to give you some fun streaks.
Color is another one of those personal decisions that
cause a lot of soul-searching.
Color Advantages For Short Hair Versus Long Hair
Short hair has some advantages over long hair when it
comes to hair color.
One key advantage with short
hair is that if you make a coloring
mistake with long hair, it may require sacrificing some
length to remove the offending colors or damage that
occurs.
With short strands there is less hair that
can be impacted and damaged. As a result, it is
possible to go wild and try lots of new things.
The whitest blonde shades that require extensive
bleaching are actually best for short or very short
styles. The reason? Use of heavy bleach
products are very harsh. The shorter the hair
being bleached, the less hair to be damaged or impacted.
If you have always dreamed of Gwen Stefanie or Jean
Harlow white on white blonde and you have short tresses,
you may be a perfect candidate.
