Hair Color Guide TipsCheck out how you can sync your streaks with your hairstyle and how to pick the best all-over hue for you. If you have…

* Short hair: If your coils stops around your chin, blend half-inch sections of colour all around your head to add depth, enhancing your the shape of your cut.
* Shoulder-length hair: Create the illusion of layers with a few quarter-inch to half-inch streaks of color around your face.
* Long locks: Weave in lots of skinny, 1/8-inch strips all over the top layer of your hair, which will accentuate the length of your tresses.

Pick the Best Hue

* Blond: A warm gold or rich honey shade will brighten your base and help blend in any existing highlights. Do a monthly gloss treatment to add extra sheen all over.
* Redhead: Overly coppery hues can make a pale complexion seem ruddy, and if you have freckles, forget about it. Stick to more becoming shades of auburn and amber.
* Brunette: Go two tones darker than your roots — otherwise you’ll end up with a wishy-washy brown. Deep chocolate and coffee shades add just the right amount of intensity.

Maintaining the Look

* Daily: Mist damp hair with a hydrating spray to protect the cuticle and guard against drying UV damage.
* Weekly: Enhance your hue with a fast deep-conditioning treatment.
* Monthly: Get a quick trim to rid yourself of dull, frayed ends, as they draw attention to damage and away from the healthy, shimmering areas.
* All Season Long: Chlorine is like kryptonite for color-treated hair. Either wear a swim cap or do a post pool rinse with club soda (it’s more effective than tap water).
