COOL VS WARM?
Where to Start 🤯
We have all been there… you visit your favourite salon for your root touch up. You take a seat, coffee in hand, about to spend the next few hours putting the world to rights but then comes the dreaded question… ‘What are we doing today?’ A question you never quite know how to answer. You have no idea what suits you! You hear your stylist talk about ‘golden blondes’ and ‘warm brunettes’ but you never quite know what is right for you!?!
Wouldn’t it be easier if your hair stylist could tell you what would suit you best?
At Gaudi Hair we are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery through your hair colour! We understand that choosing the perfect hair colour can be a daunting task. That’s why we have created our bespoke service ‘Discover You’, a personalised journey of self-discovery that considers multiple facets of your identity including lifestyle and personality, eye and hair colour and body shape to create your own suitability profile.
To help understand the importance of choosing the right hair colour we firstly need to understand the difference between warm vs cool. Let’s delve into the world of skin tones, hair colors, and how they can boost your confidence and style.
Understanding The Difference Between Warm and Cool Skin Tones:
Picking the right colours for you skin tone actually starts with your natural skin’s undertone. Once you find if your undertone is cool, warm, or slightly neutral, you can begin to explore colors that have the same undertone.
Warm skin tones have undertones of yellow, peach, or gold and provide a warmer, more golden look.
Cool skin tones have undertones of pink, blue, or purple, giving a cooler fresher appearance.
Determining your skin’s undertone is the first step in selecting a hair colour that will enhance your natural features. Hair colour has the power to minimise the appearance of skin imperfections, such as redness or uneven pigmentation. By selecting the right shade, you can create a more even-toned complexion, achieve a radiant, healthy-looking glow. Allowing you to feel comfortable in your own skin without needing to reach for the make-up bag to adjust your skin tone.
How to Decide Between Warm or Cool Hair Colours:
Once you’ve identified your skin tone, choosing between cool or warm hair colours becomes more straightforward.
Warm Tones
For warm-toned skin, hair colors with golden or coppery tones complement beautifully. Blondes become rich honey, caramel tones with vanilla lights. Brunettes become rich chestnut, auburn or chocolate with mocha lights.
Cool Tones
On the other hand, cool-toned skin pairs well with shades like ash brown, platinum blonde, or cool brunette. Blondes look platinum with icy white or pastel tones. Brunettes look dusky, steely and almost metallic with smokey lights.
Boosting Confidence Through Personalised Hair Colour
Knowing which hair color suits your skin tone can significantly boost your confidence. When you feel confident in your appearance, it radiates through every aspect of your life.

Why stop there? Something that often gets overlooked is the shape of your haircut. Also a major factor when looking at suitability, it is amazing what a new fringe, parting or altering length can do for you. Taking body architecture into consideration and whether we should be creating sharp contrasts or soft blends within your haircut can create ultimate harmony.
