How do dyed hair and undyed eyebrows affect my analysis when my natural hair colour is actually much darker?
When we do a digital colour analysis, your natural appearance is our starting point. Hair colour and eyebrows offer clues about whether you’re naturally warm or cool, light or dark. That’s why we often ask for photos where both your hair and eyebrows are visible without colouring or heavy styling.
Does dyed hair matter?
No, you don’t need to worry if your hair is dyed in the photos, provided we know your natural hair colour. Darker roots, eyebrows, and old photographs can help us assess tone and depth. In your case, knowing that your hair is naturally dark brown is enough for us to see the full picture.
It’s always easier to make an accurate assessment if we can see your natural hair, but we also consider skin tone, eye colour, and contrast. If you only have photos with dyed hair, you can add a brief description or extra photos where the original colour is visible.
Why are undyed eyebrows important?
Eyebrows sit close to your skin and eyes and are rarely affected by colouring in the same way as hair. They therefore give us a less altered view of your natural colouring. Undyed eyebrows make the analysis easier – we can more readily see whether the overall impression leans towards, for example, a Soft Autumn palette or another colour type.
Tips for best results
- Please send at least one photo where the hair is shown in its natural colour, if possible.
- Photograph in daylight without strong shadows and with minimal makeup.
- Briefly mention previous hair colours so we can more easily interpret the shades.
By sharing that information, you get a more accurate analysis, even if your hair is currently dyed.
