Has anyone ever told you how your eyes glowed because of your hair (or vice versa)? Did you get a compliment for your overall refreshing aura? A new hair colour can certainly bring out your best features and enhance your overall look. Even the tiniest details can give you a whole new glow!
Thus, it is important to put more thought into what colour you should dye your hair based on your natural eye colour. The premise behind this is somewhat similar to the process of choosing hair colour based on your natural skin tone. The idea is to stick to colours that are a few shades within your eye colour to utilise the hair’s new hue as a complementing element.
A good way to look at it is to use your hair colour as a background – what colour would make your eyes come alive? Here is a guideline to help you choose:

• Brown hair, on the other hand, works fantastic for those with an equally deep set of chocolate eyes. The darker the shade of brown is, the better! There is a seductive quality to these two pairings – it is too irresistible to not take notice! At the same time, there is that timeless allure about this look that is ultra feminine too. Take Jennifer Lopez here for an example.
• Red hair has the ability to highlight lighter and vibrant eye colours. Hence, if you have a deep blue or green eye colour, choosing to go red can certainly create a look that draws attention. It will make your eyes glow some more against the vibrant red colour of your hair. An important note, though: brown hair can also work with red, but this is a good option if you want to enhance the dramatic effect of your green or deep blue eyes.
• Dark and deep colours can also work well with blue eyes. This contrasting pair is highly flattering and also provides more flexibility in creating your look based on this hair colour. In addition, there is a hypnotic element to the look having crystalline blue eyes against the dark hair colour.
• Blue eyes and blonde hair. This is the most classic combination and one that is most popular, too. If you want to go for that “girl-next-door” vibe to your look, this is the hair colour of your choice! There are also a variety of blonde shades to choose from to create different looks ranging from the sexy vixen, to the innocent beach blonde girl, or the boho blonde chic!
The final tip to remember: always stick within two shades of your natural hair colour to give that fresh yet subtle change in your look.
