Want the Perfect Hair Color? Then Try Your Childhood Natural Hair Color Again
“Getting Back to Your Natural Hair Color”
If you’ve been searching for your perfect hair color, look no further than your baby book. Your childhood natural hair color is typically your perfect hair color. As I look at my own daughter’s natural hair color, I am yearning for her beautiful medium brown hue that has copper and blonde highlights scattered throughout.

Toe-Head Blonde Natrual Hair Color

Childhood Natural Hair Color: Toe-Head Blonde

If you had a toe-head blonde (very light blonde) natural hair color as a child, ask your stylist to lighten your base color to a level 8 or 9 beige blonde. A lighter shade like this one will likely blend with your complexion perfectly, just as it did when you were just a babe.

Coppery Red Natrual Hair Color

Childhood Natural Hair Color: Coppery Red

Natural red hair color tends to have more copper in it than the violet reds that my clients often ask for. If your hair is still in a virgin state (meaning it hasn’t been colored), then you can boost your hue with a glaze. A glaze will give your hair color a boost every time you shampoo. Try one like John Frieda’s Luminous Color Glaze in Deeper Richer Red. I like this particular brand because it gives incredible shine (just like you had when you were a kid).

Bold Brunette Natural Hair Color

Childhood Natural Hair Color: Bold Brunette

Brunette hair color in its basic childlike state has natural highlights and different tones within it. You can get this by going with any brown hair color and then adding in two or three additional highlight colors. This three-in-one hair color will give you added dimension and shine and brighten your complexion too.

Next time you are seeking the perfect hair color, bring your 2nd grade picture with you to the salon to re-create that shining natural hair color shade you had as a child. It is the most basic hair color you can do, but it will give you the most brilliant color results possible.
