6. Yes, it is pretty confusing to know one’s own natural hair color. How would you do that? Don’t worry, we have a solution for that too. Here are steps on how to know your hair color. Step1: Take a small section of your hair and make sure you have an access to the natural light. (Hair layered on one another seems darker, hence a small section of hair) Tip: Take hair from the farthest section of the hairline, as the hair color tends to be lighter on the crown part than the rest of your growth. Step2: Have a close look at the hair, and try to determine the color. Tip: Natural hair color is the color of hair you are born with! Step3: Now look for the shade in the color chart, you may be able to point out the exact shade of your hair . Don’t worry! If the shade turns out to be slightly lighter or darker. Fact: Many hair color manufacturer companies have rolled out their own hair color chart!

Now it’s time to refer to the hair color level chart. Here in this section, you will find the numbers and colors assigned to them.

8. 3 – Dark Brown 4 – Medium Brown 5 – Light Brown 6 – Dark Blonde 7 – Blonde 8 – Light Blonde 9 – Very Light Blonde 10 – Lightest Blonde FYI: It’s a rule of thumb, whenever you are getting a hair colored stay one or two levels up or down for easy maintenance.

10. Hair tone is the finish of the shade. Like whether it is in the warm, cool, or neutral tone, umm… just like our skin tone. But hair tones have three categories for their finishes. Let’s see which are they: 1. Warm tone   Following shades are considered a warm tone: C – Copper G – Gold O – Orange R – Red RB – Reddish Brown RO – Reddish Orange 2. Neutral tone    Colors that have an equal amount of warm and cool tones are considered as a neutral tone. I consider having a neutral tone is a blessing, you can opt for hair color without much hesitation. 3. Cool tone   Following shades are considered as the cool tone: A – Ash

11. B – Beige BB – Blue G – Green V – Violet Now you know everything about the hair color level and tones, it is the right time to decode the shade names once your colorist recommended you.   Decoding the Shades Name:   Generally, in a particular shade name, the numerical refers to the hair color level and the letter refers to the tone. For example, RB7 – here RB is the tone – Reddish Brown and 7 is the hair color level – blonde. 5R – Light Red-brown G4 – Gold Medium Brown 6RC – Dark Red Copper Blonde 7RR – Intense Red Blonde 7RB (cool tone) – Red Beige Blonde FYI: You might have seen your colorist using a hair color wheel, it is for getting you a perfect selection of color to get.
