I got colour analyzed by you via photo and ever since I feel more confident to integrate colours in my wardrobe and makeup. Now I always feel excited to experiment and I constantly receive compliments how well everything suits me. I also love your short videos with one colour applied to the different seasons, it makes it very easy to understand the logic behind season theory. Thank you! 🥰If you want to make a before and after colour analysis video with client photos, I am here for it 😸
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment :) We are so glad to read that you are happy with the results of the online analysis and that you feel more confident everyday! Lots of love ❤
Potential video (or social media post) idea for you two: apparently the hair and makeup designer in the Barbie movie realized Barbie couldn’t have just one wig because she wears so many different pink outfits throughout the movie, and so she had to create multiple wigs in different shades of of blond to match all the different shades of pinks! It would be interesting to see your analysis of the looks, and also group them into their fitting season!
Copper, ginger, red hair, absolutely beautiful when it is natural, so pretty and unique, I just love it. Eg. Nicole Kidman was a redhead, then she went to Hollywood and of course they turned her hair blonde. I also liked her curly hair and not that straight blonde boring generic cookie-cutter look that Hollywood loves so much.
@@michelleskotynsky9426 Yep red hair for her, the blond doesn't do her justice, she looks dull with it. She'd probably be grey by now so dyes her hair and the option to go blond was probably Hollywood's idea. Blond usually creates a "softer" look and doesn't suit her fiery exuberant personality.
@@AgeOfNefarious_Deceptionyes. For Nicole Kidman, I saw her in an interview. She was asked "what would you do differently if you could go back in time". She said she wouldn't straighten her hair. Now her hair is blonde & straight-ish. It probably needs a lot of chemicals to maintain the color & straightness. Keri Russell (of Felicity) also had curly hair. It was her signature look - way back in Mickey Mouse club & Felicity. Nowadays her hair is straight-ish or wavy.
I dyed my hair light blonde for YEARS! I didn't even remember what my natural hair color looked like. Then I had my colors analyzed by you, and realized I am a winter cool. Now i'm back with my natural ashy-darker-blonde.. and I love it!! I feel more in harmony with myself too. Love your videos!
@@sarahp.8518sounds like you are satisfied? I am strongly considering this. I always bleached my hair too. I am pretty sure I am a warm olive so I have trouble placing my season.
@@deecee7042 I have a yellowish skin (overtone), so I assumed I had a warm undertone. But warm colours definitely look wrong on me. Im glad I did the a analysis!
You are very correct about brown hair turning reddish or brassy. Even though I am a one of the winter seasons, hairdressers would always want to give me a caramel/camel tone because my surface skin tone tans very golden. It was always difficult to keep from looking washed out, and makeup colors looked incorrect. I knew I always looked much better with ashy tones. I finally chopped of my hair to get rid of any artificial coloring. Now I have a salt & pepper pixie with no tan. I look vibrant and balanced, and I am experimenting with lip colors in cool tones. Surprisingly they look quite natural on me!
I've never dyed my hair in my whole life. I'm pretty sure I'm warm spring as well - I thought bright spring but the colours might be a bit too intense. I've got coppery red hair with golden, almost colourless eyelashes and eyebrows. Even if I wanted to colour my hair, there's nothing I could dye it to that would make me look better - dark hair with blonde eyebrows? I don't think so. Even though my eyebrows are blonde, I'd look like one continuous wash of beige with blonde hair and super white skin. Nope, nope.
Honey blonde is said to be one of the colors that looks universally good on most people! Lucky you :) mine is just like yours except extremely ashy / silver which doesn’t fit my season!
I’m a light summer, blonde + blue eyes, and I learned a long time ago when I wore red/orange/olive etc. that those colors were just awful on me. Went to dinner last week with a lilac blazer and even the busboy complimented me, lol. The right color is like magic. Love these videos! I might have to go to Australia ❤
I embraced my grey hair years ago . However i think its worth noting its not just about the colour, its the coarse texture and also the thinning post menopause.
I’m a soft summer (at times soft autumn) and naturally medium-brunette, but adding blonde highlights and/or dying my hair ash blonde I felt made me look more alive.
Ladies I feel like this video was made for me 🤩 I have just gotten my results from you this week ( I am a LIGHT SUMMER 🤩 ) which was shocking for me since I have natural light/ medium brown hair with golden reflects only around my face - Never would have thought I would end up a Light Summer 🍨☀️😎 I was worried initially that I would have to get back to being a blonde which was very stressful and traumatic almost to maintain 🙃 but now I am feeling encouraged to still grow out my warmer previously lightened &overtoned to a brown ends and finally after almost 2 decades wear my natural brown hair with a light summer palette clothes and accesories 🥰
I watched another color analysis video since now TH-cam is putting them in my feed, and I just want to compliment the both of you on how positive you are and how your emphasis is accentuating how beautiful people already are. I've seen so many color analysis videos now where the person doing the analysis is just mean to the client about colors. If something doesn't work you're just kindly tell them it doesn't work for them and move on to the thing that does and emphasize the things that make them look better instead of being insulting. It's refreshing!
Okay… I’m going to have to disagree with “winters cannot be blonde.” Ive dyed my hair blonde many times and always got tons of compliments. The secret is to keep the roots super dark and visible. And ofc, go for cool shades of blonde, but even when I dyed my hair golden blonde & copper some people said it looked really good on me, that made my eye color more vibrant. Theres gotta be some other component that makes certain colors work for certain people when they shouldn’t.
Wow, this makes so much sense, thank you! I don’t dye my hair now, but when I used to, I would get grief from hair stylists for asking for ash browns, they would try to insist on warm colors for my tan skin - but I’m a winter! I never liked the look of warm coppery browns in my hair, but adding ash would make a harmonious brown that I really liked so I would always insist on that.
I’ve been intrigued by color analysis for a while, but I’ve never fully grasped an understanding until I found your videos. The way you ladies approach the process feels thorough and finally makes so much sense. Your content is superb! It’s helpful and fun. I’m so happy to be seeing more and more videos and reels on this channel.
I’m having an analysis this week, I live in the US. I’ve been binge watching your videos. I just wanted to compliment the two of you, both so informative, never over talking or interrupting the other, very good presentation. I am also gray, I stopped dying about 4 years ago, so this is one reason I decided to schedule an analysis. Thank you!
I had bright orange hair as a child, which darkened to a strawberry blonde and in my mid-40's mother nature began "highlighting" my hair. At first subtly but more as I aged until now I have platinum hair, not gray, but the palest platinum blonde. I've never dyed my hair and don't plan on starting now. I need to have you all do my colors. They were done years ago in the mid-80's and the poor analyst did everything but stand on her head and whistle Dixie to make me a spring since I have very pale skin but with a sallow overtone (I always burn), and blue eyes with my strawberry blonde hair. But all of the warm colors were horrible on me as were the dusty, grayed out summer palette, so she eventually settled on my being a winter. No problem as they are the colors I'd always worn. I love you two and your videos, always very helpful and interesting. A big thank you for all you do!
My dad is a blond winter - nice to know that is rare ;) But he turned grey long ago and is indeed almost white :) I am certain he is a cool winter. I am learning so much from you ladies, thank you! Is it nice to be able to advice other people on their best colours :)
It feels like all my life I've been trying to add warmth and intensity to my haircolor, doing the absolute opposite of what I should have been doing... which in retrospective is why I've always been dissatisfied with the results. Now it all seems so clear, thanks to your videos!
That it, I think hairstylists need to do a course in color analysis as part of their hairdressing training, so that they can advise and help people figure out the best hair color for their color season. Carol Brailey with a youtube channel is a color analyst and was a hairdresser in the past. She gives some good advice and shows how the wrong color hair can ruin your best season matching outfit colors, as they will clash with your hair color and not be in harmony. A cool palette wardrobe with a warm hair color will always clash and visa versa.
I got analyzed by you guys as a summer cool and looking back at all my crazy hair colors I’ve dyed my hair, the worst by far was my red hair!! Now I know why I didn’t like it! Ha I also used to have a grey blue hair color and I ALWAYS got compliments… until it turned like a yellow green 😂
I’m so happy that you said springs can have black hair!!! I am a bright spring (have been professionally typed) many amateur analysts don’t even mention black hair as one of those that can be bright springs. Thank you!
That was a great point. They cover their hair when doing an analysis so it's an important factor in our overall look, but if you don't have any hair you'll still have a season.
I am true autumn. In always have reddish plus neutral low lights. In May I start alternating those lowlights with highlights and it does a good job of blending with my two or three shades of natural warm greys. In November, I start making the lowlights two shades darker and that seems to look nicer with my calendar-autumn wardrobe. A nice surprise was that adding the lowlight color to my eyebrows helped fill in where my eyebrows started changing to blond/grey. Now I don't need to use an eyebrow pencil! Your channel helped me make these small adjustments that make a big difference. Thank you. ❤
I have been classified as deep summer. I was shocked first, but than I was so so happy! Previously, I was referred to either soft summer or even soft autumn. But never matched completely. I was too light and soft for winter. there were no chances to attribute me to soft winter. And I was in between. Now, I am grateful for 16 season system 🙏
I went back to my natural hair color many years ago. I am a soft autumn and love my natural golden dark blonde 😊 But I always wanted to try a reddish brown. Maybe some day 😅
Love the part about how you can see warm shades in your hair even when you are cool. I am 💙 as can be, but I can see some orange colors in my hair in direct light. Have been wondering!
This is EXACTLY what I need! Being only 44 (and fair-skinned), the natural white hair that’s growing in (and the color glaze that’s washing out), doesn’t suit me! I’m glad I found this video! Thanks ❤
Looks like this video sealed the deal that I'm probably a summer, when previously I thought I was an autumn. I could be borderline summer/autumn but I'm leaning toward cool more than warm. What helped a lot was when Giulia showed the photo of herself with warm highlights in her hair in sunlight. This is what I have and dark or any red colors never looked good on me, now I think I know why. Thank you so much ladies but I still need an professional analysis from you asap.
A series that I would also love to see you discuss is the general characteristics of each subgroup of each season with examples including when someone is a true season. Maybe with examples of people that you have analyzed or perhaps celebs, etc, I would find it incredibly informative and helpful. Thank you for your lovely and informative videos, they help me so much to understand color theory in general.
Thank you so much for taking so much about grey hair in this video. Thinking about color when one becomes a silver sister is important to feeling confident.
When I was younger, of course I dyed my hair from copper to black to find "myself". When I stopped dying at first I felt very naked and somehow powerless. But time after time my natural hair grew longer and longer and it turned out be a very beautiful light sandy/golden blonde with some copper in it. It matches perfectly with my aquamarine blue eyes. I'm a light spring. But I have to admit that still have a bit of a problem with my palette because I'm more of an introvert person and those light, bubbly colours are beautiful but I feel very fragile and naked wearing them.
This is such an awesome video! These ladies did my color analysis and I am a Summer Cool. (I love these ladies and think they are the best out there!) They also helped me, so much, with deciding on my hair color! In case my story can be helpful to anyone else…I was a natural blonde as a child. By 12th grade I was dark blonde. After I had my son, my hair turned medium - dark brown. Then when the grey started to be a lot, I could not do a good job highlighting my hair myself, but I could do an overall color myself to save money from having to go to the salon. (I became a single mom.) So for several years my hair was, unfortunately, black. I did not do that on purpose, as the dye I was using was chestnut brown, but for some reason my hair just grabbed it as black. This was simply for cost saving purposes as I would have rather been blonde. Now that I am probably 60% grey and established enough that I can pay a hairdresser to color my hair I was ready to go blonde again. I did my color analysis just in the nick of time to realize I should not be a golden blonde, but a cool blonde. My natural color always had a lot of red highlights in it so that was very confusing to me, as to my color palette, and those natural red highlights would often turn brassy when I would go blonde, (which I had done a few times in my 20’s and 30’s) so I just always thought I was stuck with brassy-goldish-orangy hair. This also always lead me to believe I was probably a neutral, or maybe a Spring, I was kind of shocked when they told me I am a Summer Cool! Right after my color analysis I had already had an appointment with my hairdresser scheduled and she was going to put a bunch of golden highlights and low lights in my hair (which we had previously turned a very light blonde due to how white my grey is but it was too light and aged me). I caught her just in time to tell her I should not have warm golden highlights and lowlights, but cool, lowlights . Now my wardrobe and my hair and my face look really harmonious to me like never before! I’ve taken out at least two large garbage bags of clothes from my closet and I’m not done yet! I can’t wait to fill it up with my color palette to go with my beautiful, cool, blonde, gray hair! I am so happy! It's been a long and ugly journey up until now! Haha!
It's amazing it can take so long isn't it? I love my hairdresser & she cuts really well, but I'm never quite happy with the colour. I don't get that harmonious effect you mention.
@@MissJensk1I did my color analysis with these ladies online. Like they said, ask the person who did yours and explain it to your hairdresser. She was just about to purchase two different warm, golden blonde lowlights for me and I caught her just in time. I’m not sure she agreed with me so I sent her a side-by-side of Reese Witherspoon as a warm, golden blonde and one as a cool blonde and the difference is undeniable! Reese is cool! She is radiant in cool and drab in gold. This convinced my hairdresser to keep it cool.
These ladies recently completed my online analysis. I am Summer Cool also! I'm thrilled with my result. I just need to work on ditching the black(!) clothes and acquiring more beautiful Summer colors!!
Well I’m dark autumn. I have been debating going gray but I think I will keep dying it. I seem to be in the worst category concerning going gray. But that’s good to know. I haven’t been ready to fully embrace going gray and this confirmed it! 😂
I agree. I am a dark autumn too. I naturally have warm brown (medium- dark) and never want to go grey. I definitely want to stay warm brown. I dye my hair warm rich chocolate browns. It is so low maintenance, looks natural but also it looks so rich and beautiful. I definitely recommend chocolate browns
You might be surprised! I’m a soft autumn and have my natural grey hair and I love it. It has warm undertones. You can also add lowlights or dashes of color, it doesn’t have to be either or
As a winter cool, I love dye my hair red and I always loved the purplish, pinkish reds, also, wine red. Going blonde was a disaster for me 😂 I felt pale all the time and yellowish, because my hair goes to orange and yellow tones during discoloration.
I have a cool undertone, think I’m summer? I dye my hair as it is not fully grey, lockdowns meant my hair went very light, that did not look suit me. I just went to the hairdresser yesterday but it’s too dark. Maybe I am summer and the intensity is the issue, my natural colour was light brown. I can always see red coming through now so that helped to hear why. My daughters have cool undertones but in the light I can see copper strands… I’m buying myself an analysis, I’m tired of looking tired and having a full wardrobe with nothing to wear! Great video ♥️
Hi girls, from Ferrara Italy. I have a suggestion for all cool winters like me who are getting grey. Gray suits us well but, to add a touch of sparkle, I use direct dyes on my hair: blue, purple, burgundy (all cool colors!). Your greys will result as fine meches coloured in pop shades and the overall effect is gorgeous for all ages.
Thank you so much for this! As a Cool Summer with dark blonde hair, I recently dyed my hair and it was such a mistake! Although I went for an ash brown, it still added brassiness to my hair. I'll be using blue/purple shampoo!
I have not done a colour analysis but love your videos. Thanks for talking about how hairdressers try to get us to change our hair colour. I have naturally dark hair and a few years ago I changed hairdresser after going to one who just wanted to change the colour (even though I had said that I really liked my natural colour). And yep, she wanted to add warm, blonde/honey tones.
I’m officially getting my colors done in a few weeks and so excited! I’ve had the same hair colorist for 10 years, and she refuses to give me cool blonde highlights because I have tried a few times and she doesn’t want her name attached to how it looks on me lol. she will only give me warm hair. I’ll be mind blown if I have a cool undertone but we shall see.
@@MissJensk1 naw she's amazing. She will give other women cool blonde hair and it looks great. But we have tried on me twice years ago and I definitely see what she means that it washes me out. Telling people no to hair they want may not be what everyone is looking for in a hair colorist. But she's always booked like 5 months in advance because she has a great eye and will always veer people towards what she knows will look best on them.
I'm a Spring and stopped coloring my hair for a year. The gray was too ashy, and I ended up coloring my hair again with the same medium blond that I had previously been using and my skin looks so much healthier. No gray for me!
I guess I'm lucky as an autumn (probably true autumn) whose hair, which started as warm black, is greying to yellow-grey or ivory. I used to want to go copper, but I guess I don't need to anymore.
Ciao ragazze, I'm from France and sooooo happy to have found you on this channel! I've been searching around a lot these last months about colour analysis, desperately trying to eventually make my own mind about my season and sub-group, ...without being able to do so on my own (of course! I know! ;)). Since I have discovered you both just a few days ago, not only you have enlightened me on many subtleties but your wonderful smiles have pretty done as much!! It's such a joy to watch you both : you're radiant and so full of cheerful, communicative & happy energy! And of course your wonderful accent is spreading flows of the beautiful colours of Italy
Ciao cara Laura, you're too kind ❤ We are glad you found our channel and we thank you for watching our videos and for this beautiful comment. All the best!
Great video. Love it!! So many older women dye their hair the totally wrong color and especially when they are quite old.. 70+ dyed hair looks so fake and weird in my opinion. I really appreciate this advice a lot. Praying my hair goes warm gray when it finally goes gray! Haha.
This is a fantastic video and the celeb photos were so informative (especially as there are so many incorrect celeb colour analyses out there). It’s so good to hear your brilliant advice and it’s wonderful to see your passion for colour analysis.
Such great advice! I grew out my white hair last year but found it a little wishy washy against my face. I'm going for it again but this time will have dark ash lowlights inserted to restore some of the depth. Ps I am deep winter
well I guess I am a summer. My hair is mid brown..not very dark but also not very light. BUT in the David Kibbe System I am a Dramatic so it is recommended that you have vivid colored hair, kontrast.
This was really interesting. I never understood why I looked better with a soft warm brown/blond over a vivid copper. And it makes sense that my intensity is low. And even though I'm an Autumn it doesn't mean Ariel hair works for me 😅
Another great video! I learned so much thanks to you… ever since I started watching your videos I try to pay attention to people’s colour palette. I hope to get my analysis done very soon.
Charlotte I dye my hair at home. I love the L’Oréal Féria Havana brown 50. It does have some red in it. Thank you for the chocolate tip. I love knowing what other dark autumns are doing with their hair. I think I could easily do a chocolate brown. Before I knew any better my hair stylist was dying my hair ash brown. So cool. I could pull of the depth but it’s much better since I have gone warm. The L’Oréal tortoiseshell. Is the one I found before Havana. I like the Havana better because it’s warm. The Tortoiseshell is more neutral but I think leans slightly cool.
I'm either dark/warm autumn or a dark winter. Experience says that copper hair is not mine. I don't know if it was too cool copper, but something was off. Since then, I don't dye my hair. But I buy cheap wigs to check the colour I am interested in. Any blond or light colour takes off a noble or intelligent, or lush look if I may say so and gives me sort of weird look of a simpleton. I gonna dye my blond wig and try a pure ginger. In general, I know reds and fire colours work good on me, but still can't decide if I am a winter or an autumn.
Thank you for yet another insightful video. I always enjoy seeing you truly enjoy your job. I am a soft summer slowly turning grey, but I am blessed with hair that has natural high- and lowlights, so my hairdresser said the only thing it might need in the future is a little more ashy tones. I’m glad she doesn’t talk about ‘warming it up’.
I’m cool summer with dark hair. I wish I had seen this video few months ago when I was trying to go blonde which was a terrible mistake!!! It made me look SO old and washed out, and it was never cool enough no matter how much purple shampoo and toners I used. I ended up going back to my dark color. When I was younger I had some blonde highlights and even then people would tell me that I looked older… So yeah, you guys are right. Cool summers with dark hair should stick with their natural hair color!!!
You are two lovely knowledgeable ladies! I wish I could get a personal color analysis with you both but you live on the other side of the world:) When I was younger I had no idea of skin undertones but I remember that I had put a color rinse on by the hairdresser and that tone they chose was for cool undertones. I remember leaving that hairdresser so unhappy, I literally looked ten years older and my natural shine on my face was eliminated with that wrong color. I missed my natural golden brown hair and at that time I realized that I definitely have warm undertones because that new darker cool hair color was wearing me out and made me disappear…lesson learned 😂😂😂
i dyed my hair warm brown for years because I always heard how ashy brown was undesirable, but now ive embraced my natural undertone dark cool brown looks amazing on me 😄
With the help of your videos I did my analysis and I think I am soft automne. My natural hair colour is ashy blonde, and as a child I was even more blonde than now (i'm in my mid 30s). My mum was devasteted after I began to colour my hair copper, she almost mourned me being blond (she insiated I am a blondie- like spring golden blond) 😂 but I fell so much more myselve with this colour and now I am working also on my wardrobe. Thank you for all video❤
I follow a stylist (Nuala Morey) who actually uses a palette of warm or cool tones reflected against the client’s skin to choose the best hair color shades. Very cool and you can definitely see the difference.
Hmm. I’m a Spring. My hair started golden blonde as a child and ended up medium ash brown by the time I was 40. Good to know Springs can be any color! I like the ashy colors with my complexion because of the strong contrast. Red hair color is a disaster but my natural hair has no red tones.
I appreciate this video! It gave me some comfort to know I am on the right path. I am either a light or true summer with naturally dark blonde hair and I've always enjoyed highlights. I have wondered if it was just my perception or if I really look good with highlights. This just confirms that blonde really does suit me 😊 (and I use purple shampoo to keep it cool!)
This was a very informative video! Warm Spring here with naturally golden, copperish hair. Starting to grey now, so for now, it just looks more golden. Just love your channel...two very charming, beautiful ladies!
Thank you so much for talking about warmth in the brown hair of winters. I have a reddish tone to my hair when I am in the sun, but I have a cool undertone skin. I have not been analyzed professionally, so the subtle red in my dark brown hair makes me wonder if I actually have a warm undertone skin. But I tested myself by comparing myself wearing a very warm red blazer and cool deep red sweater and I look better in the cool color. I also tested with lipstick. So I think I need to trust that I have a cool undertone. Hopefully I will get a professional analysis soon. 😊
Thanks a lot for your comment Monica! Please consider that you can find us here in Melbourne or online from anywhere in the world, we'd love to analyse your colours ❤
I've seen some unbelievably gray hair colors on warm women ,it's usually mixed gray silver warm in some places. Not unlucky in my opinion. 😊 silver sisters community online millions of women do up their grays. All beautiful.
I am warm autumn deep and my best blond is hash blond as it create a nice contrast with golden undertone. With gold blond, I look a bit sick and with brown hair, I look too strong.
I'm a winter and I've dyed the face framing areas/halo/money pieces white. I think it still works.... Big contrast with my dark brown that's the rest of my hair
I am a winter and when I'm blonde I blend in with the walls. I'm sooo pale/porcelain and a neutral light olive porcelain that my skin by itself gives such high intensity contrast so I need such high contrast and vividness to bring out my features. If not they regress and hide. I need to be brunette or I look horrible, lol. I look epic in vibrant contrasty colors. When I wear a little black dress, or bold jewel toned shades like reds, navy, hunter or emerald greens. Vampy colors, and camo greens especially hunter greens are nice when I catch a little tan. I love jewel tones or else neutral toned camouflage colors, like an elven nymph on the first snow fall after Indian Summer when the leaves are still red. I look like a ghost in Poltergeist who is lost, translucent, zero contrast when my hair is a golden blonde.
I read once that straight hair was just normally shinier than curly hair because it reflects the light in one direction. This makes such a difference,and I assume that the "warmth " of your hair can have a lot to do with reflection as well.
Great video! I'd love it if you could do a similar video about makeup, including suggestions of brands and colours that are cool vs warm, especially eye shadows and blushes - so many brands claim their products are neutral when they clearly lean warm! Question - if a summer or winter has dark brown hair (say level 5 or 6) and they are starting to go grey (about 25% grey), would you suggest they use a dye the same as their natural colour, or should they use a slightly lighter cool colour (maybe 1-2 levels lighter but still cool)? We so often hear that we should lighten our hair as we age - but is this true for the cool seasons with dark hair who need contrast?
What an absolutely informative and empowering video. 🥲 Thank you for reminding us that aging is a gift and privilege and to embrace our natural beauty! ❄️🌼🌸🍁
Interesting video as always. As a spring, I find it interesting that springs can wear black hair but should avoid black clothing, why is that? I was wondering if you could use photos of clients (with their consent of course) when showing examples of different seasons in videos. In the photos of celebs they have a lot of light and makeup on them so photos of your clients might be more helpful. I had an online session with you and I personally wouldn’t mind having one of my photos featured if it could help people see features of a light spring :)
I think when springs have naturally dark hair they tend to be bright springs. I was typed as one and I do think black looks okay, but a softer shade works better (like charcoal or even navy)
Can you say more about red/ginger hair? You said hair color doesn't determine our season, but can it eliminate some options (eg can a ginger person ever be a summer)? I often perceive ginger people to both have an element of brightness because of the color, but also low contrast because it blends with skintone. Also sometimes it looks like their skintone (if it's pinkish or kinda translucent) clashes with the color orange. I used to think so but I'm not sure now. I'm talking about the Ed Sheeran, Rupert Grint, Prince Harry type of look. Are they all light springs? I'd also love to hear examples of natural redheads from all seasons. Thanks!!
I would love to see a video on olive skin tones. I am very very pale and very olive with a strong green grey cast to my skin and deep ash blonde hair. I dyed my hair black for many many years and it looked fantastic on me.but since then nearly every makeup artist and hairdresser has given me warmer colours which looks awful on me. I only seem to suit winter colours but I keep hearing I could not be due to my light cool hair. You mentioned here that it would be unlikely winter would be blonde. I am not so sure….
Me to. I'm so drawn to autumn colors but think I might be a soft summer. Hopefully I can wear soft autumn colors harmoniously. I do love the colors Alessandra wears, they look so good on her.
Giulia and Alessandra, Are you familiar with the TH-cam channel Gentle Whispering ASMR? Maria is very interested in color analysis, and her viewers love her color analysis videos. She admits she is trying to be self-taught and wants to learn more. She has well over 2M viewers. It seems like it would be a mutually-beneficial collaboration to do an online color analysis with her to post on her channel. That would be amazing!!
What about a light summer? I think that's me. As I grew up, my hair turned from white blonde to gold blonde to now a somewhat coppery honey blonde. The roots have always been ashier than the lengths, which always bleached out pretty quickly with sunlight. I definitely look better in cool colours, but gold jewellery also works well on me, which I believe is typical for light summers (which is one of the reasons I self-diagnosed as such). I kinda like my warm-ish hair colour, and I'm not sure adjusting it to a cooler tone would elevate my appearance. But I'd be happy to hear if someone wants to share their experience with this topic!
I am a dark winter and going grey is a challenge, because at this stage I'm half grey. Its really mixed in with my medium brown hair and that makes it a very soft colour. The softness does not suit me at all! It makes me look bland and I'm not really sure how to fix it, short of dying it. But dye made my hair look quite warm quite quickly when it faded (even cool brown turns warm in my experience) and I don't want to dye it every three weeks... if I dyed it darker the warm colour would stay away longer, but that would be too harsh. Any tips? Just wait untill I'm more grey, as it'll probably be brighter?
Maybe go with white bleached highlights? Someone else suggested adding violet. In the old days senior ladies used "blueing" to keep their hair from being yellow. I'm thinking like Morticia type style, but a bit more modern. I've seen some ladies do that. I think it looks excellent. Allesandra mentions purple shampoo to prevent yellowing.
Thank you guys, your video's are always very helpful! So my skin has a very cool undertone (I'm a summer), but my hair has a warm undertone naturally and I don't like how it looks together. Could purple shampoo help me with making my hair more cool-toned?

I got colour analyzed by you via photo and ever since I feel more confident to integrate colours in my wardrobe and makeup. Now I always feel excited to experiment and I constantly receive compliments how well everything suits me. I also love your short videos with one colour applied to the different seasons, it makes it very easy to understand the logic behind season theory. Thank you! 🥰If you want to make a before and after colour analysis video with client photos, I am here for it 😸
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment :) We are so glad to read that you are happy with the results of the online analysis and that you feel more confident everyday! Lots of love ❤

Potential video (or social media post) idea for you two: apparently the hair and makeup designer in the Barbie movie realized Barbie couldn’t have just one wig because she wears so many different pink outfits throughout the movie, and so she had to create multiple wigs in different shades of of blond to match all the different shades of pinks! It would be interesting to see your analysis of the looks, and also group them into their fitting season!
Copper, ginger, red hair, absolutely beautiful when it is natural, so pretty and unique, I just love it. Eg. Nicole Kidman was a redhead, then she went to Hollywood and of course they turned her hair blonde. I also liked her curly hair and not that straight blonde boring generic cookie-cutter look that Hollywood loves so much.
Julia Roberts seems to be more blond now too... Loved her red hair...
@@michelleskotynsky9426 Yep red hair for her, the blond doesn't do her justice, she looks dull with it. She'd probably be grey by now so dyes her hair and the option to go blond was probably Hollywood's idea. Blond usually creates a "softer" look and doesn't suit her fiery exuberant personality.
Yes, they both were so much better looking in their natural red curly hair!
@@AgeOfNefarious_Deceptionyes. For Nicole Kidman, I saw her in an interview. She was asked "what would you do differently if you could go back in time". She said she wouldn't straighten her hair. Now her hair is blonde & straight-ish. It probably needs a lot of chemicals to maintain the color & straightness.
Keri Russell (of Felicity) also had curly hair. It was her signature look - way back in Mickey Mouse club & Felicity. Nowadays her hair is straight-ish or wavy.
I dyed my hair light blonde for YEARS! I didn't even remember what my natural hair color looked like. Then I had my colors analyzed by you, and realized I am a winter cool. Now i'm back with my natural ashy-darker-blonde.. and I love it!! I feel more in harmony with myself too. Love your videos!
Did you do an online analysis?
@@br4653 I did!
@@sarahp.8518sounds like you are satisfied? I am strongly considering this. I always bleached my hair too. I am pretty sure I am a warm olive so I have trouble placing my season.
But ashy blonde and winter doesnt go together 🤔 Maybe cool summer?
@@deecee7042 I have a yellowish skin (overtone), so I assumed I had a warm undertone. But warm colours definitely look wrong on me. Im glad I did the a analysis!
You are very correct about brown hair turning reddish or brassy. Even though I am a one of the winter seasons, hairdressers would always want to give me a caramel/camel tone because my surface skin tone tans very golden. It was always difficult to keep from looking washed out, and makeup colors looked incorrect. I knew I always looked much better with ashy tones. I finally chopped of my hair to get rid of any artificial coloring. Now I have a salt & pepper pixie with no tan. I look vibrant and balanced, and I am experimenting with lip colors in cool tones. Surprisingly they look quite natural on me!
@@g3andrea that's awesome. I also rock salt and pepper hair, only mine is long.
I haven't colored my hair in over 7 years. I like my natural color. It is a honeyish coppery blonde and I am a warm spring.
I've never dyed my hair in my whole life. I'm pretty sure I'm warm spring as well - I thought bright spring but the colours might be a bit too intense. I've got coppery red hair with golden, almost colourless eyelashes and eyebrows. Even if I wanted to colour my hair, there's nothing I could dye it to that would make me look better - dark hair with blonde eyebrows? I don't think so. Even though my eyebrows are blonde, I'd look like one continuous wash of beige with blonde hair and super white skin. Nope, nope.
Honey blonde is said to be one of the colors that looks universally good on most people! Lucky you :) mine is just like yours except extremely ashy / silver which doesn’t fit my season!
I’m a light summer, blonde + blue eyes, and I learned a long time ago when I wore red/orange/olive etc. that those colors were just awful on me. Went to dinner last week with a lilac blazer and even the busboy complimented me, lol. The right color is like magic. Love these videos! I might have to go to Australia ❤
I embraced my grey hair years ago . However i think its worth noting its not just about the colour, its the coarse texture and also the thinning post menopause.
I’m a soft summer (at times soft autumn) and naturally medium-brunette, but adding blonde highlights and/or dying my hair ash blonde I felt made me look more alive.
This makes me think if I borderline on winter, cause I’m a summer with dark brown hair and highlights looked completely wrong on me 😮
Metoo but not ashy more honey or mixed blondes.
Its for saturation and intensity
Ladies I feel like this video was made for me 🤩 I have just gotten my results from you this week ( I am a LIGHT SUMMER 🤩 ) which was shocking for me since I have natural light/ medium brown hair with golden reflects only around my face - Never would have thought I would end up a Light Summer 🍨☀️😎 I was worried initially that I would have to get back to being a blonde which was very stressful and traumatic almost to maintain 🙃 but now I am feeling encouraged to still grow out my warmer previously lightened &overtoned to a brown ends and finally after almost 2 decades wear my natural brown hair with a light summer palette clothes and accesories 🥰
I watched another color analysis video since now TH-cam is putting them in my feed, and I just want to compliment the both of you on how positive you are and how your emphasis is accentuating how beautiful people already are. I've seen so many color analysis videos now where the person doing the analysis is just mean to the client about colors. If something doesn't work you're just kindly tell them it doesn't work for them and move on to the thing that does and emphasize the things that make them look better instead of being insulting. It's refreshing!
Okay… I’m going to have to disagree with “winters cannot be blonde.” Ive dyed my hair blonde many times and always got tons of compliments. The secret is to keep the roots super dark and visible. And ofc, go for cool shades of blonde, but even when I dyed my hair golden blonde & copper some people said it looked really good on me, that made my eye color more vibrant. Theres gotta be some other component that makes certain colors work for certain people when they shouldn’t.
Sarah Ryan (another analyst) showed a vid of the analysis of a winter who was icy blonde. You may watch it if you're interested.
Sounds like intense added contrast if your face intense enough to pull it off
Go for it 🎉
I'm a Brazilian colorist and I love following you
I love seeing you with your colors
success 💜🧡
Wow, this makes so much sense, thank you! I don’t dye my hair now, but when I used to, I would get grief from hair stylists for asking for ash browns, they would try to insist on warm colors for my tan skin - but I’m a winter! I never liked the look of warm coppery browns in my hair, but adding ash would make a harmonious brown that I really liked so I would always insist on that.
I’ve been intrigued by color analysis for a while, but I’ve never fully grasped an understanding until I found your videos. The way you ladies approach the process feels thorough and finally makes so much sense. Your content is superb! It’s helpful and fun. I’m so happy to be seeing more and more videos and reels on this channel.
I'm a Cool/Dark Summer and my best hair colour so far that is unnatural is plum. 😊
I’m having an analysis this week, I live in the US. I’ve been binge watching your videos. I just wanted to compliment the two of you, both so informative, never over talking or interrupting the other, very good presentation. I am also gray, I stopped dying about 4 years ago, so this is one reason I decided to schedule an analysis. Thank you!
I had bright orange hair as a child, which darkened to a strawberry blonde and in my mid-40's mother nature began "highlighting" my hair. At first subtly but more as I aged until now I have platinum hair, not gray, but the palest platinum blonde. I've never dyed my hair and don't plan on starting now.
I need to have you all do my colors. They were done years ago in the mid-80's and the poor analyst did everything but stand on her head and whistle Dixie to make me a spring since I have very pale skin but with a sallow overtone (I always burn), and blue eyes with my strawberry blonde hair. But all of the warm colors were horrible on me as were the dusty, grayed out summer palette, so she eventually settled on my being a winter. No problem as they are the colors I'd always worn.
I love you two and your videos, always very helpful and interesting. A big thank you for all you do!
My dad is a blond winter - nice to know that is rare ;) But he turned grey long ago and is indeed almost white :) I am certain he is a cool winter. I am learning so much from you ladies, thank you! Is it nice to be able to advice other people on their best colours :)
I am a rare blonde winter, that is still blonde at fifty years old. I feel so affirmed by this video! I do exist!!!!
Sarah Ryan has also analysed a rare blonde winter on her YT channel.
those people are usually albino
You ladies are just lovely!! One of the best colour analysis channels...along with Carol Brailey.
Your smiles and laughter are just magic!
Carol is not good, she thinks natural hair color matters what season you are
It feels like all my life I've been trying to add warmth and intensity to my haircolor, doing the absolute opposite of what I should have been doing... which in retrospective is why I've always been dissatisfied with the results. Now it all seems so clear, thanks to your videos!
That it, I think hairstylists need to do a course in color analysis as part of their hairdressing training, so that they can advise and help people figure out the best hair color for their color season. Carol Brailey with a youtube channel is a color analyst and was a hairdresser in the past. She gives some good advice and shows how the wrong color hair can ruin your best season matching outfit colors, as they will clash with your hair color and not be in harmony. A cool palette wardrobe with a warm hair color will always clash and visa versa.
I got analyzed by you guys as a summer cool and looking back at all my crazy hair colors I’ve dyed my hair, the worst by far was my red hair!! Now I know why I didn’t like it! Ha I also used to have a grey blue hair color and I ALWAYS got compliments… until it turned like a yellow green 😂
I’m so happy that you said springs can have black hair!!! I am a bright spring (have been professionally typed) many amateur analysts don’t even mention black hair as one of those that can be bright springs. Thank you!
Jenna Dewan is an example of a bright spring with black or near black hair.
That was a great point. They cover their hair when doing an analysis so it's an important factor in our overall look, but if you don't have any hair you'll still have a season.
I am true autumn. In always have reddish plus neutral low lights. In May I start alternating those lowlights with highlights and it does a good job of blending with my two or three shades of natural warm greys. In November, I start making the lowlights two shades darker and that seems to look nicer with my calendar-autumn wardrobe. A nice surprise was that adding the lowlight color to my eyebrows helped fill in where my eyebrows started changing to blond/grey. Now I don't need to use an eyebrow pencil! Your channel helped me make these small adjustments that make a big difference. Thank you. ❤
I have been classified as deep summer. I was shocked first, but than I was so so happy! Previously, I was referred to either soft summer or even soft autumn. But never matched completely. I was too light and soft for winter. there were no chances to attribute me to soft winter. And I was in between. Now, I am grateful for 16 season system 🙏
I went back to my natural hair color many years ago. I am a soft autumn and love my natural golden dark blonde 😊
But I always wanted to try a reddish brown. Maybe some day 😅
Same. I also have green eyes too
@claudia - there are some sites where you can upload your pic & try their hair dyes. Revlon site has it.
Love the part about how you can see warm shades in your hair even when you are cool. I am 💙 as can be, but I can see some orange colors in my hair in direct light. Have been wondering!
Yep, that helped me too. I now think I might be cool, possibly a soft summer.
I’m a sea swimmer which lightens and warms my hair even though I’m a Summer.
This is EXACTLY what I need! Being only 44 (and fair-skinned), the natural white hair that’s growing in (and the color glaze that’s washing out), doesn’t suit me! I’m glad I found this video! Thanks ❤
Looks like this video sealed the deal that I'm probably a summer, when previously I thought I was an autumn. I could be borderline summer/autumn but I'm leaning toward cool more than warm. What helped a lot was when Giulia showed the photo of herself with warm highlights in her hair in sunlight. This is what I have and dark or any red colors never looked good on me, now I think I know why. Thank you so much ladies but I still need an professional analysis from you asap.
A series that I would also love to see you discuss is the general characteristics of each subgroup of each season with examples including when someone is a true season.
Maybe with examples of people that you have analyzed or perhaps celebs, etc, I would find it incredibly informative and helpful.
Thank you for your lovely and informative videos, they help me so much to understand color theory in general.
Thank you for this video ❤
I‘m a soft summer in dusty dark blonde to dusty light brown, so now I don‘t panic anymore to get grey when I get older 😊
Thank you so much for taking so much about grey hair in this video. Thinking about color when one becomes a silver sister is important to feeling confident.
When I was younger, of course I dyed my hair from copper to black to find "myself". When I stopped dying at first I felt very naked and somehow powerless. But time after time my natural hair grew longer and longer and it turned out be a very beautiful light sandy/golden blonde with some copper in it. It matches perfectly with my aquamarine blue eyes. I'm a light spring. But I have to admit that still have a bit of a problem with my palette because I'm more of an introvert person and those light, bubbly colours are beautiful but I feel very fragile and naked wearing them.
Hi. You may want to try the soft autumn palette. It's also warm but more muted/ softer - might suit your introvert personality better. 😊
The bright white WALL COLOR suits Julia, winter gal and not so much Alexandra, the autumn.
This is such an awesome video! These ladies did my color analysis and I am a Summer Cool. (I love these ladies and think they are the best out there!) They also helped me, so much, with deciding on my hair color! In case my story can be helpful to anyone else…I was a natural blonde as a child. By 12th grade I was dark blonde. After I had my son, my hair turned medium - dark brown. Then when the grey started to be a lot, I could not do a good job highlighting my hair myself, but I could do an overall color myself to save money from having to go to the salon. (I became a single mom.) So for several years my hair was, unfortunately, black. I did not do that on purpose, as the dye I was using was chestnut brown, but for some reason my hair just grabbed it as black. This was simply for cost saving purposes as I would have rather been blonde. Now that I am probably 60% grey and established enough that I can pay a hairdresser to color my hair I was ready to go blonde again. I did my color analysis just in the nick of time to realize I should not be a golden blonde, but a cool blonde. My natural color always had a lot of red highlights in it so that was very confusing to me, as to my color palette, and those natural red highlights would often turn brassy when I would go blonde, (which I had done a few times in my 20’s and 30’s) so I just always thought I was stuck with brassy-goldish-orangy hair. This also always lead me to believe I was probably a neutral, or maybe a Spring, I was kind of shocked when they told me I am a Summer Cool! Right after my color analysis I had already had an appointment with my hairdresser scheduled and she was going to put a bunch of golden highlights and low lights in my hair (which we had previously turned a very light blonde due to how white my grey is but it was too light and aged me). I caught her just in time to tell her I should not have warm golden highlights and lowlights, but cool, lowlights . Now my wardrobe and my hair and my face look really harmonious to me like never before! I’ve taken out at least two large garbage bags of clothes from my closet and I’m not done yet! I can’t wait to fill it up with my color palette to go with my beautiful, cool, blonde, gray hair! I am so happy! It's been a long and ugly journey up until now! Haha!
It's amazing it can take so long isn't it? I love my hairdresser & she cuts really well, but I'm never quite happy with the colour. I don't get that harmonious effect you mention.
@@MissJensk1I did my color analysis with these ladies online. Like they said, ask the person who did yours and explain it to your hairdresser. She was just about to purchase two different warm, golden blonde lowlights for me and I caught her just in time. I’m not sure she agreed with me so I sent her a side-by-side of Reese Witherspoon as a warm, golden blonde and one as a cool blonde and the difference is undeniable! Reese is cool! She is radiant in cool and drab in gold. This convinced my hairdresser to keep it cool.
These ladies recently completed my online analysis. I am Summer Cool also! I'm thrilled with my result. I just need to work on ditching the black(!) clothes and acquiring more beautiful Summer colors!!
Well I’m dark autumn. I have been debating going gray but I think I will keep dying it. I seem to be in the worst category concerning going gray. But that’s good to know. I haven’t been ready to fully embrace going gray and this confirmed it! 😂
I agree. I am a dark autumn too. I naturally have warm brown (medium- dark) and never want to go grey. I definitely want to stay warm brown. I dye my hair warm rich chocolate browns. It is so low maintenance, looks natural but also it looks so rich and beautiful. I definitely recommend chocolate browns
You might be surprised! I’m a soft autumn and have my natural grey hair and I love it. It has warm undertones. You can also add lowlights or dashes of color, it doesn’t have to be either or
Ciao ragazze, this is your BEST VIDEO! Very helpful, and thank you for illustrating your advices with many examples of well known personalities!
As a winter cool, I love dye my hair red and I always loved the purplish, pinkish reds, also, wine red. Going blonde was a disaster for me 😂 I felt pale all the time and yellowish, because my hair goes to orange and yellow tones during discoloration.
The color queens addressing their subjects💕
I have a cool undertone, think I’m summer? I dye my hair as it is not fully grey, lockdowns meant my hair went very light, that did not look suit me. I just went to the hairdresser yesterday but it’s too dark. Maybe I am summer and the intensity is the issue, my natural colour was light brown. I can always see red coming through now so that helped to hear why. My daughters have cool undertones but in the light I can see copper strands… I’m buying myself an analysis, I’m tired of looking tired and having a full wardrobe with nothing to wear! Great video ♥️
Hi girls, from Ferrara Italy. I have a suggestion for all cool winters like me who are getting grey. Gray suits us well but, to add a touch of sparkle, I use direct dyes on my hair: blue, purple, burgundy (all cool colors!). Your greys will result as fine meches coloured in pop shades and the overall effect is gorgeous for all ages.
Thank you so much for this! As a Cool Summer with dark blonde hair, I recently dyed my hair and it was such a mistake! Although I went for an ash brown, it still added brassiness to my hair. I'll be using blue/purple shampoo!
I have not done a colour analysis but love your videos. Thanks for talking about how hairdressers try to get us to change our hair colour. I have naturally dark hair and a few years ago I changed hairdresser after going to one who just wanted to change the colour (even though I had said that I really liked my natural colour). And yep, she wanted to add warm, blonde/honey tones.
I’m officially getting my colors done in a few weeks and so excited! I’ve had the same hair colorist for 10 years, and she refuses to give me cool blonde highlights because I have tried a few times and she doesn’t want her name attached to how it looks on me lol. she will only give me warm hair. I’ll be mind blown if I have a cool undertone but we shall see.
Hmmm, maybe you should change your colourist . . . . .
@@MissJensk1 naw she's amazing. She will give other women cool blonde hair and it looks great. But we have tried on me twice years ago and I definitely see what she means that it washes me out. Telling people no to hair they want may not be what everyone is looking for in a hair colorist. But she's always booked like 5 months in advance because she has a great eye and will always veer people towards what she knows will look best on them.
I love the way you talk about hair colour in general! Thank you so much for this video.
I'm a Spring and stopped coloring my hair for a year. The gray was too ashy, and I ended up coloring my hair again with the same medium blond that I had previously been using and my skin looks so much healthier. No gray for me!
Thank you for this video! I'm a dark autumn with naturally dark hair, but I love how I look with (warm) blonde highlights! Now I know why :)
I guess I'm lucky as an autumn (probably true autumn) whose hair, which started as warm black, is greying to yellow-grey or ivory. I used to want to go copper, but I guess I don't need to anymore.
Ciao ragazze, I'm from France and sooooo happy to have found you on this channel! I've been searching around a lot these last months about colour analysis, desperately trying to eventually make my own mind about my season and sub-group, ...without being able to do so on my own (of course! I know! ;)). Since I have discovered you both just a few days ago, not only you have enlightened me on many subtleties but your wonderful smiles have pretty done as much!! It's such a joy to watch you both : you're radiant and so full of cheerful, communicative & happy energy! And of course your wonderful accent is spreading flows of the beautiful colours of Italy
Ciao cara Laura, you're too kind ❤ We are glad you found our channel and we thank you for watching our videos and for this beautiful comment. All the best!
Great video. Love it!! So many older women dye their hair the totally wrong color and especially when they are quite old.. 70+ dyed hair looks so fake and weird in my opinion. I really appreciate this advice a lot. Praying my hair goes warm gray when it finally goes gray! Haha.
Ooh I would love to do a skill share class about color analysis from you guys if you ever get the chance!!
This is a fantastic video and the celeb photos were so informative (especially as there are so many incorrect celeb colour analyses out there). It’s so good to hear your brilliant advice and it’s wonderful to see your passion for colour analysis.
Thank you so much for all your beautiful comments ❤️🥰
Such great advice! I grew out my white hair last year but found it a little wishy washy against my face. I'm going for it again but this time will have dark ash lowlights inserted to restore some of the depth. Ps I am deep winter
Brilliant, Brilliant ! I learnt so much.
Many thanks.......All the way from London.
well I guess I am a summer. My hair is mid brown..not very dark but also not very light. BUT in the David Kibbe System I am a Dramatic so it is recommended that you have vivid colored hair, kontrast.
This was really interesting. I never understood why I looked better with a soft warm brown/blond over a vivid copper. And it makes sense that my intensity is low. And even though I'm an Autumn it doesn't mean Ariel hair works for me 😅
Your Ariel comment made me LOL. Gigi Hadid is a soft autumn and I also can't imagine her in Ariel red hair. 😅
Another great video! I learned so much thanks to you… ever since I started watching your videos I try to pay attention to people’s colour palette. I hope to get my analysis done very soon.
Charlotte I dye my hair at home. I love the L’Oréal Féria Havana brown 50. It does have some red in it. Thank you for the chocolate tip. I love knowing what other dark autumns are doing with their hair. I think I could easily do a chocolate brown. Before I knew any better my hair stylist was dying my hair ash brown. So cool. I could pull of the depth but it’s much better since I have gone warm. The L’Oréal tortoiseshell. Is the one I found before Havana. I like the Havana better because it’s warm. The Tortoiseshell is more neutral but I think leans slightly cool.
I'm either dark/warm autumn or a dark winter. Experience says that copper hair is not mine. I don't know if it was too cool copper, but something was off. Since then, I don't dye my hair. But I buy cheap wigs to check the colour I am interested in. Any blond or light colour takes off a noble or intelligent, or lush look if I may say so and gives me sort of weird look of a simpleton. I gonna dye my blond wig and try a pure ginger. In general, I know reds and fire colours work good on me, but still can't decide if I am a winter or an autumn.
Love this video, as a Spring (bright) I’ve been wondering how to handle my increasingly grey hair instead of dying it! Thanks!
Thank you for yet another insightful video. I always enjoy seeing you truly enjoy your job. I am a soft summer slowly turning grey, but I am blessed with hair that has natural high- and lowlights, so my hairdresser said the only thing it might need in the future is a little more ashy tones. I’m glad she doesn’t talk about ‘warming it up’.
I’m cool summer with dark hair. I wish I had seen this video few months ago when I was trying to go blonde which was a terrible mistake!!! It made me look SO old and washed out, and it was never cool enough no matter how much purple shampoo and toners I used. I ended up going back to my dark color. When I was younger I had some blonde highlights and even then people would tell me that I looked older… So yeah, you guys are right. Cool summers with dark hair should stick with their natural hair color!!!
You are two lovely knowledgeable ladies! I wish I could get a personal color analysis with you both but you live on the other side of the world:)
When I was younger I had no idea of skin undertones but I remember that I had put a color rinse on by the hairdresser and that tone they chose was for cool undertones. I remember leaving that hairdresser so unhappy, I literally looked ten years older and my natural shine on my face was eliminated with that wrong color. I missed my natural golden brown hair and at that time I realized that I definitely have warm undertones because that new darker cool hair color was wearing me out and made me disappear…lesson learned 😂😂😂
i dyed my hair warm brown for years because I always heard how ashy brown was undesirable, but now ive embraced my natural undertone dark cool brown looks amazing on me 😄
With the help of your videos I did my analysis and I think I am soft automne. My natural hair colour is ashy blonde, and as a child I was even more blonde than now (i'm in my mid 30s). My mum was devasteted after I began to colour my hair copper, she almost mourned me being blond (she insiated I am a blondie- like spring golden blond) 😂 but I fell so much more myselve with this colour and now I am working also on my wardrobe. Thank you for all video❤
I follow a stylist (Nuala Morey) who actually uses a palette of warm or cool tones reflected against the client’s skin to choose the best hair color shades. Very cool and you can definitely see the difference.
Thank you, guys, your videos are my favourite "show", which I never, ever miss❤❤❤
This is so interesting! I’m a summer with dark brown hair and you are completely right ~ I got highlights and regretted it immediately 😂
Hmm. I’m a Spring. My hair started golden blonde as a child and ended up medium ash brown by the time I was 40. Good to know Springs can be any color! I like the ashy colors with my complexion because of the strong contrast. Red hair color is a disaster but my natural hair has no red tones.
I appreciate this video! It gave me some comfort to know I am on the right path. I am either a light or true summer with naturally dark blonde hair and I've always enjoyed highlights. I have wondered if it was just my perception or if I really look good with highlights. This just confirms that blonde really does suit me 😊 (and I use purple shampoo to keep it cool!)
This was a very informative video!
Warm Spring here with naturally golden, copperish hair. Starting to grey now, so for now, it just looks more golden.
Just love your channel...two very charming, beautiful ladies!
Same here!!
Congratulations on the Skill Share sponsorship! 🎉🎊
Thank you so much for talking about warmth in the brown hair of winters. I have a reddish tone to my hair when I am in the sun, but I have a cool undertone skin. I have not been analyzed professionally, so the subtle red in my dark brown hair makes me wonder if I actually have a warm undertone skin. But I tested myself by comparing myself wearing a very warm red blazer and cool deep red sweater and I look better in the cool color. I also tested with lipstick. So I think I need to trust that I have a cool undertone. Hopefully I will get a professional analysis soon. 😊
Thanks a lot for your comment Monica! Please consider that you can find us here in Melbourne or online from anywhere in the world, we'd love to analyse your colours ❤
I've seen some unbelievably gray hair colors on warm women ,it's usually mixed gray silver warm in some places. Not unlucky in my opinion. 😊 silver sisters community online millions of women do up their grays. All beautiful.
I am warm autumn deep and my best blond is hash blond as it create a nice contrast with golden undertone. With gold blond, I look a bit sick and with brown hair, I look too strong.
I’m a summer and I love to dye my hair fun colors but it is so hard to achieve pastels.
I'm a winter and I've dyed the face framing areas/halo/money pieces white. I think it still works.... Big contrast with my dark brown that's the rest of my hair
I am a winter and when I'm blonde I blend in with the walls. I'm sooo pale/porcelain and a neutral light olive porcelain that my skin by itself gives such high intensity contrast so I need such high contrast and vividness to bring out my features. If not they regress and hide. I need to be brunette or I look horrible, lol. I look epic in vibrant contrasty colors. When I wear a little black dress, or bold jewel toned shades like reds, navy, hunter or emerald greens. Vampy colors, and camo greens especially hunter greens are nice when I catch a little tan. I love jewel tones or else neutral toned camouflage colors, like an elven nymph on the first snow fall after Indian Summer when the leaves are still red. I look like a ghost in Poltergeist who is lost, translucent, zero contrast when my hair is a golden blonde.
I read once that straight hair was just normally shinier than curly hair because it reflects the light in one direction. This makes such a difference,and I assume that the "warmth " of your hair can have a lot to do with reflection as well.
Wow Giulia your blouse looks amazing❤😊
Excellent information. Thank you, ladies ❤
I have a neutral undertone (leaning cool) and my natural hair looks warm In the light.. I’m a true summer.
So interesting! I was convinced adriana lima was a winter, never would have guessed spring!
Great video! I'd love it if you could do a similar video about makeup, including suggestions of brands and colours that are cool vs warm, especially eye shadows and blushes - so many brands claim their products are neutral when they clearly lean warm!
Question - if a summer or winter has dark brown hair (say level 5 or 6) and they are starting to go grey (about 25% grey), would you suggest they use a dye the same as their natural colour, or should they use a slightly lighter cool colour (maybe 1-2 levels lighter but still cool)? We so often hear that we should lighten our hair as we age - but is this true for the cool seasons with dark hair who need contrast?
What an absolutely informative and empowering video. 🥲 Thank you for reminding us that aging is a gift and privilege and to embrace our natural beauty! ❄️🌼🌸🍁
As I’ve gotten older my red hair has changed to a darker brown, I miss it😢.
Me too. wondering when I might get some greys to lighten it up again.
Interesting video as always. As a spring, I find it interesting that springs can wear black hair but should avoid black clothing, why is that?
I was wondering if you could use photos of clients (with their consent of course) when showing examples of different seasons in videos. In the photos of celebs they have a lot of light and makeup on them so photos of your clients might be more helpful. I had an online session with you and I personally wouldn’t mind having one of my photos featured if it could help people see features of a light spring :)
I think when springs have naturally dark hair they tend to be bright springs. I was typed as one and I do think black looks okay, but a softer shade works better (like charcoal or even navy)
Can you say more about red/ginger hair? You said hair color doesn't determine our season, but can it eliminate some options (eg can a ginger person ever be a summer)? I often perceive ginger people to both have an element of brightness because of the color, but also low contrast because it blends with skintone. Also sometimes it looks like their skintone (if it's pinkish or kinda translucent) clashes with the color orange. I used to think so but I'm not sure now. I'm talking about the Ed Sheeran, Rupert Grint, Prince Harry type of look. Are they all light springs? I'd also love to hear examples of natural redheads from all seasons. Thanks!!
I would love to see a video on olive skin tones. I am very very pale and very olive with a strong green grey cast to my skin and deep ash blonde hair. I dyed my hair black for many many years and it looked fantastic on me.but since then nearly every makeup artist and hairdresser has given me warmer colours which looks awful on me. I only seem to suit winter colours but I keep hearing I could not be due to my light cool hair. You mentioned here that it would be unlikely winter would be blonde. I am not so sure….
I have that same shirt Alessandra! It looks better on your True Autumn coloring than my Soft Autumn coloring, but I still love it!
Me too! Sezane all the way! I feel the same way about my shirt and I'm a soft autumn.
Me to. I'm so drawn to autumn colors but think I might be a soft summer. Hopefully I can wear soft autumn colors harmoniously. I do love the colors Alessandra wears, they look so good on her.
Giulia and Alessandra, Are you familiar with the TH-cam channel Gentle Whispering ASMR? Maria is very interested in color analysis, and her viewers love her color analysis videos. She admits she is trying to be self-taught and wants to learn more. She has well over 2M viewers. It seems like it would be a mutually-beneficial collaboration to do an online color analysis with her to post on her channel. That would be amazing!!
Thank you so much for this video ❤❤
amazing video, thank you ladies, love it 😍
What about a light summer?
I think that's me. As I grew up, my hair turned from white blonde to gold blonde to now a somewhat coppery honey blonde. The roots have always been ashier than the lengths, which always bleached out pretty quickly with sunlight. I definitely look better in cool colours, but gold jewellery also works well on me, which I believe is typical for light summers (which is one of the reasons I self-diagnosed as such). I kinda like my warm-ish hair colour, and I'm not sure adjusting it to a cooler tone would elevate my appearance. But I'd be happy to hear if someone wants to share their experience with this topic!
I am a dark winter and going grey is a challenge, because at this stage I'm half grey. Its really mixed in with my medium brown hair and that makes it a very soft colour. The softness does not suit me at all! It makes me look bland and I'm not really sure how to fix it, short of dying it. But dye made my hair look quite warm quite quickly when it faded (even cool brown turns warm in my experience) and I don't want to dye it every three weeks... if I dyed it darker the warm colour would stay away longer, but that would be too harsh. Any tips? Just wait untill I'm more grey, as it'll probably be brighter?
Maybe go with white bleached highlights? Someone else suggested adding violet. In the old days senior ladies used "blueing" to keep their hair from being yellow.
I'm thinking like Morticia type style, but a bit more modern. I've seen some ladies do that. I think it looks excellent. Allesandra mentions purple shampoo to prevent yellowing.
I live in Japan and I’ve noticed a lot of the older women with shades of purple hair when they go gray. It’s surprisingly flattering.
Incredibly helpful! Thank you SO much!!
Thank you guys, your video's are always very helpful!
So my skin has a very cool undertone (I'm a summer), but my hair has a warm undertone naturally and I don't like how it looks together. Could purple shampoo help me with making my hair more cool-toned?
Thank you so much perfect analyse. And your accent is so charmy could listen hours to you.
