Finding the Right Shade
Haircolour starts you on a fascinating journey to a beauty all your own. It sets the stage for your total personal look, from makeup to fashion. There are so many gorgeous haircolour shades! How do you know which one to choose?

Check out a few shade charts for Clairol products:

Don't look at the picture on the front of a haircolour package and think that's the colour you will get. The picture only shows the colour you are adding to the colour already on your head.

Do turn the package over and check out the Shade Selector on the back. Locate your "starting colour." The chart shows you approximately what colour you will get if you use that haircolour.

Finding Your Starting colourtop
Compare the hair on your head to these colours. One of them is your "starting colour".
Light Blonds to Medium Blonde Dark blonde to Light brown Medium Brown Dark brown to Black
Haircolour Depth and Tonestop
Haircolours come in different depths: light blonde, medium blonde or dark blonde, for example. Watch for depth descriptors on the haircolour packages. They help you choose what you want.
Every haircolour (blonde, red, brown, or black) is available in warm tones (Warm shades), cool tones (Ash shades) or a balance (Neutral or Natural shades). The depth of a haircolour and its unique tones add a special dimension to your haircolour.
Ash Neutral Golden Redish
Skin Tones and Eye Colourtop
When choosing a haircolour shade, keep in mind your natural skin tones. You'll look best in haircolour that complements your natural skin tones.
Cool - If you have skin that's olive, rosy brown, fair or rosy and eyes that are hazel, blue, blue-grey or green. Complementary cool haircolours will have the word "ash" or "neutral" in their package descriptors.
Warm - If you have skin that's fair to medium golden, golden brown or darker and eyes that are deep brown, hazel or brown. Complementary warm haircolours will have the word "warm" or "reddish" in their package descriptors.

Your "starting" colour is the colour on your head right now. Your "starting" colour + a new haircolour = your new haircolour.
