How dark is your starting point?
Dark hair has to be lifted before copper, blonde or cherry tones can show. Ask for a strand test so you know how many sessions the shade really needs.

How to choose
Three questions that matter more than the trend.
New to color? Start with the hair color levels chart to find your starting level, then come back to the shade guides.
How often will you go back?
Browns grow out softly; copper, rose gold and ash blonde need a gloss every 4–6 weeks. Choose a shade whose maintenance you will actually keep up with.
How does it look in daylight?
Salon lighting flatters everything. Preview the color on your own photo, then check it outside before you commit to a formula.
