How To Find Your Perfect Hair Color
It's easy to stay in our comfort zones, but hard to take a risk with something new. Uncharted territories have always been scary, especially if we have no idea what to expect once we finally get there.
In the case of experimenting with new fashion or hairstyles though, most people are scared of coloring their hair not because they don't have any idea what to expect, but because they're already expecting something else. Many times, the fear of everything not turning out 'perfect' is too hard to ignore.
In this article, we'll help you get over your fear of experimenting with new styles! We've listed down some tips that will help you find your perfect hair color!
1. Try highlights first

One, if you're a beginner at hair colors, especially those that need bleach, highlights won't shock you as much. Two, they're quite beginner-friendly, in case you want to DIY them.

2. Go by your skin tone
Your skin tone says a lot about what colors go with you, be it outfits or hair. Of course, there's no problem if you just want to pick something for the sake of it, too! Here at ZALA, we value individuality and always try to encourage people to experiment with their personal styles. You do you, girl!
But again, if this is your first time experimenting with colors, a safe bet would be to try searching on the internet what people with similar skin tones as you have as their hair color. For example, red hair usually looks nice on people with ultra pale skin. Chocolate brown hair looks well on different people, but it looks especially nice on someone with olive skin. Find your comparison and decide if you're going to base on that.
3. Think about how it complements your eyes

It's just that, the eyes tend to be one of the first things that people notice about other people, especially if there's something unique or striking about one's orbs. "Eyes are the windows to the soul," so they say. Let your hair complement your eyes so that it stands out from the rest!
4. Consider using temporary dye first
We're no perfectionists here at ZALA, but let's be honest – nobody enjoys admitting that they made a mistake. In the case of hair, it gets a little worse. You don't even have to ask someone to know if their latest salon trip was a disaster or a blessing. You can see it right there.
That's why, if you're yet that confident about your skills yet, go knock yourself out with temporary dye! You'll have fun and get to know yourself a little better too!
