Hair dye and hair colour are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference:

• Hair dye is a product that penetrates the hair shaft to change its natural colour. It’s often used for drastic colour changes or to cover grey hair.
• Hair colour is a more general term that can refer to both permanent and temporary hair colour products. It’s often used to describe the natural colour of your hair or a specific shade of dye or toner.

The best hair colour for you depends on various factors, including your skin tone, eye colour, and personal preferences. Generally, warm skin tones look good with warm hair colours like brown, copper, and red, while cool skin tones suit cool colours like blonde, ash brown, and violet.

Here are some tips for choosing your hair colour:

• Consider your skin tone: Determine whether you have a warm or cool skin tone.  
• Think about your eye colour: Certain hair colours can complement your eye colour.  
• Look at your natural hair colour: Start with a colour that is close to your natural hair colour to minimise damage.
• Consult with a professional: A stylist can help you choose a colour that suits your face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle.
• Try a temporary colour: Experiment with temporary hair colour to see how different shades look on you before committing to a permanent change.

Colouring your hair can be a great way to express your personality, change your look, or cover grey hair. However, it’s best to consult with a professional stylist before colouring if you have damaged or dry hair.
