Choosing a new hair colour can feel overwhelming with so many options available. The secret? Let your skin tone be your guide. At TNF Salon, our colourists use this approach every day to help clients find their most flattering shade.
Identify Your Undertone
Before choosing a colour, determine whether your skin has warm, cool, or neutral undertones. If your veins appear greenish and gold jewellery suits you, you likely have warm undertones. If your veins look bluish-purple and silver flatters you, you have cool undertones. If both work equally well, you're neutral.
Best Colours for Warm Undertones
If you have a warm complexion — common among Malay, Chinese, and Indian Malaysians with golden or olive skin — opt for warm browns and caramels, honey blonde and golden highlights, copper and auburn shades, or rich chocolate tones.
Best Colours for Cool Undertones
For cooler or fairer skin tones, consider ash brown and ash blonde, platinum and pearl highlights, cool espresso and blue-black, or violet-tinted brunettes.
Best Colours for Neutral Undertones
Lucky you — most shades work! The most universally flattering options include warm brunettes, sandy or beige blonde, and soft balayage blends that combine multiple tones.
A Final Note
Lighting, maintenance, and your personal style all play a role. The best way to find your perfect colour is to consult with one of our experienced colourists. We'll take into account your skin tone, lifestyle, and hair condition to recommend a shade you'll love.
