I had chestnut hair with lots of red in it growing up but my skin tone is cool. I think that is something maybe for another video.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@ravenrose6672 Thanks for the suggestion Raven!

[@SparkleinSac]

I am a neutral, light skinned brunette, and the problem is most highlights I get are way too warm, and look brassy on me. I don't look good with ash or gray tones either on the cool side. It is hard for me to find that middle ground between dark brown and lighter colors for summer. I find that adding red to my dark brown often does look good.

[@Lit123ful]

I always thought you go lighter with age but I went back to my original color of dark brown and I love it!

[@Portia620]

My hair dresser desires for me. Like I do light but tell them not Barbie blonde as it looks horrible on me!!! All blonde washes me out and I had no idea my last stylist was doing that and at my age with thyroid bad idea!!! Health must be considered by the hair dresser and let them know too. I have only had 3 (and felt lucky for that one!) amazing hair dressers in my life.

[@seviregis7441]

It’s not only skin tone but also a persons overall look and facial features that makes the difference. Just to mention a celebrity, Lady Gaga looks much better as a brunette. I know everyone loves her as a blonde and are used to her that way, but she has very strong facial features which don’t really go with the softness of pale blonde hair. Whereas with dark hair her features look softer. Or with Kim Kardashian, she never looked good as a blonde but her sister Khloe does, even though they, at times, have a similar skin tone, depending on tanning, makeup, etc.

[@gloriasol8197]

I agree! Red hair shades is definitely another hair color that not all can pull off

[@cheery-hex]

Agree the eyes make a big difference too

[@lizzi7128]

100%!!!

[@Portia620]

Christina Agukaria looks amazing as a blonde and red head!!! The music videos Candy Man shows here with many hair colors (3) and she looks amazing in all of them!

[@katarinaj.6830]

I dont think Khloe and Kim are the same skin tone. However, I agree that features do matter, the darker hair tends to 'frame' the face better..

[@maddie9185]

I know someone who is neutral and she can wear any hair color and it’s always looks amazing on her.

[@garacynfarm]

Great video! In my 50's and never really understood how to find my shade and the difference between cool, warm and neutral. This really simplified it! Now I want to explore all the wonderful shades and have some fun with color! Thank You!

[@laurengreen2564]

I love when you do these kind of videos because I go back and forth with hair color so much, I believe I am neutral so I can get away with alot, but still trying to find that "perfect" combo (while also battling the ever increasing gray hairs!)

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yea if you are neutral you can bounce around a lot! You’re lucky. The grey hair battle is always a struggle. What I suggest is to pick a cool hair color. Grey hair has a cool tonality and it won’t clash with the color. If you do a warm tone, when the roots grow in, because the tone is opposite, it will look really really bad because of the high contrast.

[@Chorkymom]

@@GlamGirlGabi I be learn SO MUCH from this channel! 🙏🏻

[@Adhara740]

You are right, our undertones vary and it doesn’t matter how light or dark we are. I had a professional draping with a 12blueprints analyst and it was the best money I have ever spent. I was wearing clothes that made me fade away and now, I am finally wearing the colors in me!

[@B30pt87]

I rocked vibrant deep blue hair for years and loved it. I have cool (pale) skin tone, and dark brown eyes. This was very helpful. Thank you!

[@lovesdogs8616]

Loved this, as I have aged my neutral is now leaning to cool. MU and hair color are intimately acquainted.

[@anouschkabernice4050]

Thank you so much for the video! It actually helped me to figure out that I'm actually warm-toned, albeit more neutral warm. For exemple, I only wear rose gold and gold jewelery, I tan well, my skin has a yellowish tint, and I always gravitated more to warmer foundation shades. I always wondered why my violet red hair looked so "off" on me, but couldn't really pinpoint why, as I truly believed I was a neutral. I have dark skin, so it's a lot more difficult then to tell whether someone is warm or cool toned. Now that I've figured this out, I'll go for a more bordeaux-red next time I'll dye my hair, so thank you again! 😊

[@shanonjo9828]

I personally feel if u can rock it wear it with no rules!

[@purpledragonfly313]

This was great ❤️ Finally figured out the skin tone and the app looks good.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I’m glad that you found it helpful Linn! The app is called Face App.

[@eunicenardin7535]

That's the best explanation ever. I have neutral skin tone but I thought that I could only have my hair dyed in cold colors. That's because my seazonal palette was said to be Bright Winter. However, I prefer golden tones for my hair and jewelry.

[@rmkpilates]

The best hair color is your natural color. Your skin tone, eye color will always look the best. Hands down. Own your beauty.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I actually very much disagree with this. My natural hair color is incredibly unfaltering on me and I’ve had many clients look SO SO SO beautiful and feel much more confident after dying their virgin hair.

[@ohsweetiewhy6353]

I disagree as well. as an east asian we all have black hair as a natural hair color though it varies on the darkness and the undertone, but as soon as we get into college we start to dye our hair, my friends look so much better with brown hair or even blondy hair. There are people who suits in natural, but I would not say everyone.

[@poeticpreacher3]

I once had an Aveda color expert tell me that any shade of red would go great with my skin since I have more yellow toned skin. I did your tests and I think I fall in the neutral zone. Very informative video, thanks for the chart in case I want to change my hair color, I'll have a better idea what shades may look better.

[@Paoula]

You’re absolutely correct about having to add make up to balance out your hair color. This is definitely true that you have the wrong hair color for your skin tone…. I know because I experienced this when a hairdresser talked me into getting caramel highlights..I never changed my color. I hated it ….couldn’t wait to go back to my dark brown hair!

What’s crazy is I instinctively found this out by trial and error. I am super cool toned and realized that silver looks better than gold even though I like gold.. and I always feel like I look bad when my brown hair fades and all I see is warm tones! I figured it was because my natural hair color is really ashy that I looked better with cool toned brown. It always fadew warm so I’m constantly toning my hair with blue!!

[@heidiw637]

Great video. Based on this info, I'm a cool tone, but I can easily pull off golden/honey highlights in the summer with my tanned skin (once I am finally tan, that is). Now that I'm getting older, and the gray hair is harder to cover, those warm tones end up looking too reddish on my grays, so I'm avoiding them now. This aging business is ruining my hair trends! LOL

[@teresawise7331]

Oh, thank you for this video! You have no idea how much I needed this.

[@ClarityDetermination]

@@GlamGirlGabi you asked this of someone else however I want to thank you for this video. I spend a lot of energy on finding the right cut and colour for my hair. I have a very round face and yet as a massage therapist and athlete I carried it well until the last few years. Now I'm over 60. My body is more round and neck is more obvious. It has all changed a lot. I have pretty light and cool skin. I am back to long hair - can you believe it?

[@manalani3724]

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

Great job. Well thought out.

[@Kas33345]

Thank you! We see vids all the time on what shades to pick for our skin tone when it comes to cosmetics. But nothing for hair! I see some colors really wash out an individual's complexation, while others seem to add natural vibrance. So many shades in the blond categories in particular. The natural color of my hair is also a dead give-a-way as mother nature selected it along with my skin shade to go together. Even with seasonal darkening of the skin. Based on that, warm tones work or neutral but not Ash or cool tones at all. They wash me out something horrible. Great info. Now can you do something regarding coloring grey hair and how it gives you a younger look. I know it is trendy to do grey or white on younger gals, an edgy look, I am talking about anyone who is got grey hair coming in or is completely grey and wants to look a bit younger. I am sure picking the right tone is still key. Before and afters of ppl who were grey and colored it would be great to see the difference in the look of their aga. Thank you in advance. Keep the vids coming!

My natural hair is black black and when I was younger had olive skin tone. Now that I’m older with a lot of gray to cover the black or even dark brown dye’s or just too dark as my skin has seemed to have lightened as well. I do still tan easily in warmer months. Also the dyes are very harsh and have damaged my hair.

[@DM-eg6ow]

[@theotherkangaroo]

Neutral here. I've always loved mixing jewelry metal tones & have had lots of different hair colors (nothing extreme -- that is, not black, light blond or bright red) esp liked blond streaks on medium brown. I am now a natural white streaks with a lot of dark ash brown left -- brown feels warm compared to white.

[@urskafajmut6429]

Good explanation!

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

I'm a crazy mix I guess, because I had my colors done once and the ladies had a very difficult time choosing them for me and putting me in one "catagory." They said, "a lot of different colors look good on you!" They couldn't even decide between silver and gold. It made me feel a little better not being able to figure myself out if they were having that much trouble! After seeing your video, I feel like I'm a neutral that leans cool, however when it comes to hair, I don't think the more ashy/cool toned blondes look as good as the golden blonde highlights do... I tried them once and I felt a little washed out. I agree with what you said about how most of us tend to gravitate towards colors that look good on us too. The only time that was a major fail for me is when I saw myself in the mirror with a yellow sweatshirt on... yikes! I love yellow, but it did not flatter me at all! Lol! Great video, thank you!

I’ll never know what color or whatever my skin tone is 😂 My vein color doesn’t fit into the “test” and I use whatever color of jewelry I want so I don’t know if anything looks good on me 😂 No one has ever told me any color or anything looks good on me so I guess I’m a “lost” skin tone. My hair is naturally platinum white and who knows what skin tone. I wonder what hair color would work? I also have to wear a lot of makeup or I fade away.

I've been platinum for many years. I'm naturally brunette and have warm skin. When I look back at pictures, I think that it didn't suite me at all. But at the time, I loved it. Nowadays, I go for more subtile highlights/Balayage in gold blond/brown.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Honestly, I’ve done that too! I was blonde for YEARS and would have it no other way. Now when I look at those pics, I literally look yellow. Lol! It didn’t bring that healthy glow to my skin at all. It’s so good to understand why that is. Balayage is a great way to blend tones in a super flattering and low maintenance way.

Fantastic video and information, Gabi! I have been doing everything with my own hair since my mid-teens... and I just went to a much darker color 2 months ago. I wanted a combination of light ash blond highlights and dark brown lowlights. I did about 50% of each color and now have a dirty blonde look or a medium brown look with depth and dimension instead of the full light blonde look that I was sick of wearing for years. My hair in my profile pic on here is nice...I did that myself but after my light brown low lights faded, I went back to flat blonde because of being busy and distracted and ill. I am really loving the change to a much darker hair color right now...I feel it is much more stylish and was getting so sick of being light golden blonde all over my head. I feel that I will be taken more 'seriously' now that I have gone darker.. (stereotype, I know, but actually true in the way that people perceive other people and judge them on their hair color..etc). I will, however, miss being a "tall blonde" and standing out in the crowd...but it is still worth the effort to go darker and I love the refreshing change. My natural color is dark(ash) brown...so I feel it suits my skin tone with the ash blond highlights (my hair color until I was 4 years old) I just discovered your amazing channel!! Keep up the great work!You are exquisitely beautiful!!!!
