Choosing the right hair colour is more than following the latest trend—it’s about enhancing your natural beauty, complementing your skin tone, and expressing your personal style. Whether you’re considering a subtle refresh or a dramatic transformation, selecting the perfect shade can make all the difference.
At BABS Beauty & Beyond Studio, we help clients find hair colours that not only look stunning but also suit their complexion, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
How to Determine Your Skin Undertone
Understanding your skin’s undertone is the first step to finding a flattering hair colour. While your skin tone may change with sun exposure, your undertone remains the same.
Warm Undertones
If your skin has golden, peachy, or yellow hues, you likely have a warm undertone.
Best Hair Colours:
- Honey Blonde
- Golden Brown
- Caramel
- Copper
- Chocolate Brown
- Auburn
Cool Undertones
If your skin has pink, red, or bluish hues, you likely have a cool undertone.
Best Hair Colours:
- Ash Blonde
- Platinum Blonde
- Cool Brown
- Espresso
- Burgundy
- Blue-Black
Neutral Undertones
If you have a balance of warm and cool tones, you’re fortunate enough to suit a wide variety of colours.
Best Hair Colours:
- Beige Blonde
- Soft Brown
- Mocha
- Rose Gold
- Mushroom Brown
Popular Hair Colour Trends for 2026
Hair colour trends continue to evolve, focusing on natural dimension, shine, and low-maintenance elegance.
Expensive Brunette
Rich chocolate tones enhanced with subtle highlights create a luxurious and healthy appearance.
Honey Blonde
A warm, sun-kissed blonde that flatters most skin tones and adds natural brightness.
Copper Glow
Copper continues to dominate with warm, vibrant shades that bring life to every complexion.
Mushroom Brown
A cool-toned blend of ash brown and soft beige for a sophisticated, modern finish.
Face-Framing Highlights
Strategically placed lighter strands around the face brighten your features without a full-colour commitment.
Balayage vs. Highlights vs. Full Colour
Choosing the right colouring technique depends on the look you want and how much maintenance you’re comfortable with.
Balayage
Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates soft, natural-looking dimension with a seamless blend.
Best for:
- Low maintenance
- Natural-looking results
- Longer intervals between salon visits
Highlights
Highlights involve colouring selected sections of hair to create brightness and contrast.
Best for:
- Adding dimension
- Creating a brighter appearance
- Blonde transformations
Full Hair Colour
A full colour application covers all your hair with a single shade or a completely new colour.
Best for:
- Complete colour changes
- Grey coverage
- Rich, even colour from roots to ends
How to Maintain Coloured Hair
Professional colouring is an investment, and proper care helps maintain its vibrancy.
- Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner.
- Wash your hair with lukewarm or cool water.
- Limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant.
- Deep condition once a week.
- Protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure.
- Schedule regular gloss or toner appointments to refresh the colour.
Professional Aftercare Tips
Healthy hair holds colour longer and looks shinier.
Our colour specialists recommend:
- Trim your hair every 6–8 weeks.
- Use professional salon-quality hair care products.
- Avoid chlorinated water immediately after colouring.
- Apply nourishing hair masks weekly.
- Book colour maintenance appointments before noticeable fading occurs.
