How to Identify Hair Tone

Hair tone differs from hair level. The hair’s level refers to the depth of the color, not the lightness or darkness. Hair tone refers to the actual hair color. To properly color hair first you must determine three factors, hair level, grey levels, and hair tone.

Hair tone can be categorized as one of three families: blonde, red or brown. Each  of these families is broken into three categories: light, medium, or dark.
