We think of Julia Roberts as the ultimate muse for giving brown hair some honey blonde lovin'. As we mature, our skin and hair might lose some of its natural radiance.

Frequently asked Questions

Should you go darker or lighter with hair color as you age?

Lighten your hair color to help blend the emerging white or grey hairs. As you age, your skin tone lightens, so matching this with a lighter hair hue keeps the coloring a shade or two away from your natural hair.

How do I know what hair color would look best on me?

Hair colors matching your skin tone are flattering, so consider whether you have warm or cool undertones when picking out shades. Choose a hair color that complements your natural eyebrow hue and eye color.

What hair color makes you look younger?

In general, warm-toned colors will make you look younger than cool-toned hair. However, always make sure to choose whichever hair color makes you feel the most confident and most like yourself.
