Choosing the perfect hair color can feel like a tricky puzzle. While we love a bold, vibrant look (and you should absolutely try those daring colors at least once!), often the most stunning results are those that appear beautifully effortless, as if you were born with that gorgeous shade.

The golden rule for achieving this natural harmony is to align your hair color with your skin’s undertone. Typically, the most flattering shade will be about two levels darker or lighter than your undertone. But first, do you know if your skin has warm, cool, or neutral undertones?

Here is a little secret, take a look at the veins on your wrist under natural light.

• If your veins appear blue or purple, you likely have a cool undertone.

• If your veins look green, you have a warm undertone.

• If you can’t quite tell, or they seem to be a mix, you are most likely neutral.

Also, pay attention to how your skin reacts in the sun. Do you burn easily and then go right back to pale? You most likely have a cool undertone. Do you tan easily and maintain a golden glow? You most likely have a warm undertone.
