There are four colour seasons: winter, summer, autumn and spring. Determine the season that you belong to based on your personal characteristics in order to better understand how you should choose the ideal hair colour.
Generally speaking summers and winters are identified as cool seasons though autumns and springs as warmer colours.

More specifically, you should identify your colour season so as to better understand the colour palette that best suits you.
Should you find yourself in Winter season choose a colour from the cool colour palette and avoid red tones or to bleach your hair. Also, stay away from highlights given that they tend to get reddish after a while. Choose ash tones and never mix them with any warm colour.
Have you identified yourself as Summer? The cool colour palette is ideal for you and more specifically any ash tone. Should you are brunette or blonde go for all related ash tones. Avoid any warm colours or gold tones. Tip: Should you dye your hair at home and your hair colour comes out greenish add “Perla” colour and I am sure you will get the ideal hair tone.
Is your colour season Autumn? Most often you have natural red highlights should you are or you were blonde. It seems that you were golden blonde. Therefore, you should go for warm colours and avoid any ash tones because they will make your skin look pale. Red, warm brown or golden blonde seem to be idea for you.
So, you ideantified yourself as Spring? It seems that your natural colour is warm blonde either brown or golden blonde. Warm tones are the ideal ones, no matter the colour you finally choose. As in autumn season, avoid any cool or ash tones. Thus, if you decide to stay blonde, go for a golden blonde or any warm blonde tone. Should you choose a brown tone, go for a warm brown.
