At the same time, it is best not to ignore your skin tone as choosing a wrong hair colour can either make or break your look.
"One should be comfortable with the colours one is selecting and most importantly select colours as per one's skin tone and face structure. If your skin tone is dark, do not opt for dark, bold hues and go for highlights towards the bottom for your hair," advised Gahatraj.
For Indian skin tone, red and purple are the best shades to try apart from shades of brown. Colours like blue, green and olive are not meant for Indian skin tone and hence these should be avoided.
"Those who have fair complexion can try spicy red, bluish fuchsia, sun-gold streaks or brownish blonde highlights. Those with wheatish complexion can go for shades of chocolate, copper brown, khaki brown and honey blonde.
"Those with dusky complexion can try for coffee, caramel, charcoal grey or mahagony," said Munjaal.
Also you should be mentally prepared to see yourself in a new look. So first be confident about your choice before you visit your salon.
"Opting for bold colours is completely fine unless you can carry them well and ready to experiment with your looks. The bold colours can change your entire look in a few hours. If you are not confident about getting your hair coloured, try using hair extensions for a week or two so that you can get clarity for your desired look," said Munjaal.
Also, the process of colouring might make your hair hard and reduce the quality of your original colour. To avoid this, use colour protecting shampoo with conditioner.
And, yes, don't forget a hair spa regime every 20 days.
