Best Hair Color For Your Complexion

Much like shoes, your hair color can work for you or against you. And it instantly can change how you look entirely.

So today, DuSol Beauty is going to teach you how to match up your complexion with the best hair colors.

Most of you already know if your skin tone is fair, medium, olive or dark... But it is also important to determine your natural skin undertone.

Hold out your wrists under direct sunlight and look at your blood vessels. If they are greenish, you have a warm skin tone. If they have a bluish tint to them, you have a cool skin tone.

From here on, choosing the color to make you look your best is simply a piece of cake!

If you are warm-fair... your peachy skin will look absolutely perfect against warmer shades of the blonde range. The combination of colors will give you a very radiant and youthful appearance.

If you are cool-fair... With such porcelain skin, you need colors that will give you a striking definition. We recommend a strong color like red!

If you are warm-medium... go for blonde or brown shades and throw in some highlights if you feel you want to have that little oomph! They will inject your look with plenty of life and brighten up your whole face instantly.

If you are cool-medium... heat up your look with some warm blond or brown shades that will work well with your rosy undertone. Try asking your stylist for those colors with ashy undertones.

If you are warm-olive... really bring out the enchantment of your warm skin with shades of dark brown! But it is important not to go jet black; you still want that bit of lightness to balance the color tones out.

If you are cool-olive... opt for reddish-brown shades that will complement your green-ish undertone very well and instantly give you a brighter look.

If you are warm-dark... choose from a range of rich-brown shades. Fill up those tresses with warm colors that will not contradict for natural skin tone, but enhance it instead.

If you are cool-dark... you can even out the colors on your face with deep dark colors. They will give your a very 'natural beauty' look, while still bouncing off colors that will give you very soft contours on your visage.

Hair For Airport

The lyrics "Four cities, two planes the same day" of Ed Sheeran's hit song "Don't" encapsulates the lives of most celebrities. From a fan meeting in Thailand, to a showcase in China, to a concert in Taiwan, our favorite Korean celebrities are constantly seen scooting around Asia and the rest of the world. In this style report, we focus not on airport fashion, but on airport hairstyles that are stylish yet travel-friendly.

1.Feminine Wave

Denim jacket: Low Classic / Sunglasses: Alo Eyewear Space

A new hair trend has emerged - the "MTICI" hairstyle, which is an acronym for "Miss, This Is Curling Iron" hairstyle sported by celebrities such as Girls' Generation members, Tiffany and Sooyoung, at the airport. In Korea, while there are many requests from customers at hair salons to perm their hair like so, the answer given by hairstylists is that it is impossible because it can only be achieved with a curling iron, which also explains the reason behind calling it the "MTICI" hairstyle. To achieve this look that allows celebrities to look paparazzi-ready even when dozing off on the plane, it is important to part your hair neatly and ensure that the curls are consistent.

Step by step:

1. Part your hair naturally to the right or left

2. Using a curling iron, create waves by rolling sections of your hair at least four times around the iron. The curls have to be consistent!

3. Remember to curl the hair at the back of your head as well. Curl it in any direction --- inwards or outwards. The texture and flow of your hair should look similar to that of thick ribbons.

4. For more natural looking curls, brush it once with a hair brush and finish it off with some hair essence to add a lustrous shine.

2. Effortless Bun

Sweatshirt: Mischief / Backpack: Coach / Passport case and wallet: Mandarina Duck / Sunglasses: Gentle Monster

These days, idols often go to the airport with natural looking, updo hairstyles. One of them is Miss A's Suzy, who recently appeared at Gimpo Airport with bunned up hair. Such hairstyles aim to give the impression that while the celebrity did not seem to care much, she is still able to pull off an effortlessly innocent look. If you are not confident of tying a bun, try doing it with 2 hair ties, using one to secure the ponytail and the other to create the bun.

Step by step:

1. Using a curling iron, create thick waves.

2. To add volume, part your hair into three sections and back-comb them.

3. Secure your hair firmly with your hand and loop a hair tie around it

4. Tie your hair as if you were tying a ponytail but do not loop it all the way through. Instead, allow the hair tie to remain at the tip of your ponytail and secure it with bobby pins.

Top 5 Color Trends in Korea by ‘Get It Beauty’ 2015

For those who want to catch up on Korea current beauty trends, ‘Get It Beauty’ is the best option. It is a TV program that is currently airing on a Korean cable channel called ‘OnStyle’. The programme promotes itself as a ‘total beauty show’. It is considered by many Koreans as one of the most informative and unbiased shows with its comparison of various types of products. One of the more hyped segments of the show is the ranking of products or styles, to which many can refer when making a decision of which product to purchase or use.

Now, let us take a look at the hair color ranking of 2015 by Get it Beauty!

1. WINE RED

(Left to right: Jung Ryeowon, IU, Park Bom)

The Color ‘Marsala’ was chosen by us as the color of the year 2015. As mentioned in one of our previous posts, Marsala is derived from the name of the wine and is presumably similar to wine red color. Anyone would have to give it a try once in their lifetime as it is hard to go wrong with. Because of its classy and luxurious look, this color is an all-time favorite among many K-Pop celebrities (IU, Jung Ryeowon, Park Bom, etc.). 

However, it is important to note that this color would not be as obvious if applied directly on black or dark brown hair, so remember to ask the hairdresser to bleach the hair appropriately before coloring. The color is best suited for those with fair skin but as the popularity suggests, it is just as fine for those with darker skin shades. 

2. PEACH ORANGE

(Left to right: Yura(Girls Day), Han Jimin, Lee Sungkyung)

It is basically a bright red-orange tint with a tad of ‘peachy-ness’. This color is considered to be one of the best summer colors because of its sunny and cheery feel. Now that summer season has returned in Korea, streets and beaches will soon be filled with women in peach orange hair. A risk-free color to try out in tropical countries like Singapore since it is summer all year round! It gets funkier when exposed under the sunlight. While this color accentuates fair/yellow skin well, those with darker or redder skin should avoid this color as the redness of the face would be more distinguished with less pleasant effects.

3. ASH KHAKI BROWN

(Left to right: Suzy(miss A), Kim Seulgi, Taemin(Shinee) )

Just by the name of it, some might find it hard to imagine what color this could possibly be (ash+khaki+brown=??). This color is just as mysterious as it sounds, it literally contains ash(greyish), khaki and brown shades! It became much sought after when celebrities like (Suzy of miss A) sported it, rocketing it up to the third place just after wine red and peach orange. It has also been hailed as the color of 'elf' or 'fairy' because of its mysterious yet alluring quality, which makes it even more fascinating. Perfect for those with slight redness in the skin because khaki/greenish shade has diminishing effect on redness! Last but not least, for those who have darker skin tone, make sure the shade isn't too light.

4. YELLOW GOLD

(Left to right: Key(Shinee), Hani(EXID), Taeyeon(Girls Generation) )

Arguably the most commonly sported trendy color. Seated between the spectrum of blond and orange, it seems that almost all K-Pop idols have tried this color at least once in their singing/dancing career. Despite oftenly being described as ‘too mainstream’, it remains strong in the game; it is undeniably a good color for all 4 seasons, regardless of gender or age. While it suits well for fair skinned, this color looks great on dark skin tones as well, giving a healthy, cheerful feel. As a complementary act, you can also match your brow color to your hair. 

However, remember to avoid this color if the hair is too damaged or thin as it would aggravate the damaged portion. As a rule of thumb, it is best to hold off on doing any chemical treatment on already damaged hair for at least a month or two. Hair treatment should take priority as a prior step before further coloring.

5. ROSE PINK

(Left to right: Baek A Yeon, G-Dragon(BIGBANG), Joy(Red Velvet))

Unlike what the name of the color suggests, this applied color is actually closer to the shade of ‘rose gold’. What differentiates this color from other colors is that it has a range of shades. It could be mostly brown with a tinge of pink or leaning towards pink and less brown. (A tip for wearing this color: much sassy when done in two-tone style/ombre). Despite the feminine feel that pink usually gives, male artistes like G-Dragon of BIGBANG have pulled off this color wonderfully, proving it to be a must-try color for guys who are into unique hair colors. To ladies who want a bold change of style, give it a shot! 

While it is fun to give changes to the hair color, always remember that it is crucial to take good care of the condition of the hair and give it some 'resting period' before doing any chemical treatments to the hair. Here are some tips to minimise damage to the hair/scalp:

1.  Avoid washing hair with shampoo before dyeing. Chemicals may damage the cuticles as they can seep into the clean pores.
2. Apply a small amount of the chemical on the inner side of the wrist and see if any allergic reaction occurs within 48 hours of application.
3. Avoid root hair dyeing until it grows up to 2-3cm. Recommended period is 2-3 months after dyeing.
4. Try to use hair products catered to protecting hair color rather than the standard ones; they neutralize the alkalinity of the hair and prevent UV rays from discoloring the hair.

Find the Best Hair style for your face shape

Do you know what hair style looks really good to you?

To know that, one of the most important factor is to consider your face shape. There are four different face shapes and each have distinct characteristics. By seeing the explanation below, you can easily determine your best hair style. Face shape can be divided into four types largely.

Type 1 : Round Face Shape

Change your bangs!

Image credit : Naver

Many people with round face are often told that they look so young or baby face. But sometimes their face will look bigger than other people because the fullest part of a round face is the cheeks. For this cause, Korean celebrities with a round face doesn't sport bang styles. If your face is round like these lovely ladies, try side swept or long bangs that create an arc, elongating your face. The loose curls with layered hair also helps to add balance to your face.

  

Type 2 : Square Face Shape

Contour your jaw line slightly!

Image credit : Naver

Many people with square face are the most stressed out group because of their prominent jaw line which gives you a strong feature. If you have long hair, then cut your hair into medium length. Do a Volume Magic Rebonding for contouring your jawline to make it looks slim and sharp. If you have short hair, cut your hair into bob style until chin length to create elegance and polished look.

 

Type 3 : Oblong face shape

Give volume to your hair!

Image credit : Naver

People with oblong face shape have to avoid long straight hair style. This will make their face look longer because long straight hair is easy to highlight your face. So, do a Loose Setting Perm which can create luxuriant hair volume and fresh look. In general, this type might have a fairly high forehead, so bangs is also the best way to contour your forehead.

 

Type 4 : Oval face shape

Show off your face shape!

Image credit : Naver

Oval face shape is considered to be the ideal face shape because they suit any kinds of hair styles. Short hair cut, long straight hair and perm whichever you choose. You don't have to worry about contouring your jawline with your hair. Just choose any hair styles that defines your key features. A pony tail hairstyle goes perfectly well with this face shape too.

 

Finding your 'best fit' hairstyle can make you look gorgeous regardless of your face shape. This leads more self confidence about your own image. Boost your inner confidence by changing your hairstyles now!
