  1. Warm Skin Tones: Characteristics: Warm skin tones usually have undertones that are yellow, peachy, or golden.
  2. Suitable Hair Colors: Opt for hair colors with warm undertones like golden blonde, honey blonde, caramel brown, auburn, copper, and rich chocolate brown.
  3. Cool Skin Tones: Characteristics: Cool skin tones often have undertones that are pink, red, or bluish.
  4. Suitable Hair Colors: Consider hair colors with cool undertones such as platinum blonde, ash blonde, ash brown, cool brown, jet black, and burgundy.
  5. Neutral Skin Tones: Characteristics: Neutral skin tones have a balance of warm and cool undertones, making them versatile with various hair colors.
  6. Suitable Hair Colors: Those with neutral skin tones can experiment with a wide range of hair colors, including warm and cool shades.
