Having pale skin may be beautiful but it isn’t always easy. You have to remember to constantly protect your skin from the sun, and more importantly, find the right colors and shades to complement your fair skin tone.

Fortunately, there are dozens of hair colors for pale skin to choose from so making the choice for your next hair appointment shouldn’t be stressful but rather fun and exciting!

Find Your Skin Tone Undertones

To choose the best hair color for pale skin, start by figuring out your skin’s undertone to complement it appropriately. If your skin is cool-toned, you’ve got pink and olive undertones. If it’s warm, then you’ll find yellow and golden undertones.

If they are blue or green, chances are your skin tone is cool. If you find flecks of gold, then your skin tone is warm. Still not sure? Check your wrist: veins that appear blue or purple speak of cool undertones; if they appear green, then you most likely have warm undertones.

Now that you’ve identified your skin’s undertones, it’s easy to choose from a multitude of hair color ideas.

#1: Ashy Brown

For fair skin with either hazel or blue eyes, try a medium ashy brown color. The ash color carries the same properties as platinum or ash blonde, and it’s a perfect complement to a base of cool skin tones with pink or red undertones. If you’re looking for a way to achieve an ashy brown, make sure you or your stylist puts on a toner to lighten the rich tones of the brown color. Ashy brown is very popular now but looks the best on people with fair skin.
