Asian Hair Color Ideas

Asian hair differs in texture and structure in comparison to Caucasian and natural black hair types. When choosing the right hair color, we also have to take into consideration skin pigmentation and undertone, meaning not all shades will be equally flattering to everyone. So if you are wondering which hair color to choose on your next salon appointment, here are 30 Asian hair color ideas for Asian hair that might just help you on your way.

It might be a wild idea to take naturally dark hair and take it to almost the other end of the color spectrum, but as you can see here, it functions really well. The ashy-ness of the hair provided a wonderful contrast to her golden skin and also complimented the lightness of her eyes.

Blondes, as they say, have more fun, and you cannot deny that this is a fun look.
