The biggest mistake most wannabe hair chameleons make is choosing the wrong shade for their skin color.
Alas, have no fear.
To do that, you must determine whether you havecool, warm or neutral undertones.
Simply hold your wrist out under natural light.
If your veins appear blue you’ve got cool undertones.
Green veins mean warm.
Moonlighting as a natural redhead with cool undertones is totally doable by sticking to muted oranges and rosy gingers.
Who among us hasn’t been tricked by Alyson Hannigan?
However, warm-undertone ginger goddesses are encouraged to make more of a bold statement with their choice of hue.
But unlike their cool-toned peers, warm undertones should avoid gold at all costs.
If you want to take the risk anyway, prepare to be accused of skimping on salon costs.
It’s safe to say, warm undertones allow more room to play than cool.
However, no tone has more versatility than neutral.
Neutral skin tones can play around
Neutral skin tones get free range in the red-head canon.
From russet to merlot and even scarlet, there is no undertone more forgiving than neutral.
A good example of a neutral undertone is Ariana Grande.
Whichever color you choose, be sure to thank a natural redhead for the inspiration.
