How do dyed hair and undyed eyebrows affect my analysis when my natural hair color is actually much darker?
When we do a digital color analysis, your natural appearance is our starting point. Hair color 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 coloring 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 color. 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 color, and contrast. If you only have photos with dyed hair, you can add a brief description or extra photos where the original color is visible.
Why are undyed eyebrows important?
Eyebrows sit close to your skin and eyes and are rarely affected by coloring in the same way as hair. They therefore give us a less altered view of your natural coloring. Undyed eyebrows make the analysis easier – we can more readily see whether the overall impression leans toward, for example, a Soft Autumn palette or another color type.
Tips for best results
- Please send at least one photo where the hair is shown in its natural color, if possible.
- Photograph in daylight without strong shadows and with minimal makeup.
- Briefly mention previous hair colors 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.
