From chocolate brown to burgundy, here are 5 hair colours that look stunning on Indian skin tones. Changing your hair colour is one of the easiest ways to transform your beauty look. But before you ask your stylist to recreate your favourite celebrity’s hair colour, there is one important thing to consider, your undertone. Indian skin tones vary from very fair to dark complexions, with warm, cool, and neutral undertones. Hence, the same caramel, red, or blonde shades can look different on everyone.
Because of its similarities to golden and olive shades characteristic of India’s ethnic look, on warm undertones, chocolate brown works particularly well. If you are considering a dramatic change to your hair colour but are not quite sure you are ready, go for chocolate brown. It is close enough to nature to look healthy but light enough to add dimension to your hair and make it look more vibrant and shiny. For cool undertones, request a more neutral and less golden shade of brown instead. (Image Credits: Pinterest)
Because it can blend in at home, and when you step out in the sunlight, it will look dramatically red-purple on your hair, burgundy is perfect. Because the warm red-brown undertones will enhance your natural Indian hair colour, a darker shade of auburn is a great option if you have a medium or deeper tan. Caramel is the perfect shade if you want to add dimension to your dark hair. This way, you can use it to create subtle highlights around your face or along your hair strands. These will give it a much warmer and more noticeable appearance under the sun. It looks especially good on warm undertones, as the golden shade blends in with your olive skin. Meanwhile, caramel is also useful for deeper skin tones, as more saturated blondes could end up looking too bright against your darker complexion.

Warm and dark red shades such as burgundy and wine shades may sometimes look good on deeper Indian complexions. It is the perfect choice for those who want something bold but do not want to go overboard with the neon-coloured hair fashion.

Since it’s a cooler, more neutral version of brown, mocha can add depth to dark hair without making it look overly orangey or yellow. Another reason this shade could work for you is if you have a cool undertone to your skin and you want to go brunette. It would still make your hair look nice and dark without making you look too warm.

Your fiery red locks will still look soft and glamorous in the deepest auburn shades, unlike in the most vivid copper tones. (Image Credits: Pinterest)
