When looking to change your hairstyle, take note of the kind of maintenance it requires. You don't want to do anything dramatic that requires a lot of upkeep, if you only occasionally visit the salon. Shades must go with the hairstyle and your overall appearance. Take not of the type of makeup, outfit and accessories that you entend to wear.
Lifestyle and Occupation
If you go to the gym everyday and wash your hair frequently, or swim in a chlorinated pool, you should take into account the color you choose and how it will be affected by these various activities.
Age and Skintone
A big mistake many people make when they age is choosing ash or beigh tones that tend to make the skin look sallow. Opting for warmer tones or color with a pink case can give the skin a healthier glow.
