You are right that people shouldn't be shamed for not wanting to go with natural. Look at Dita Von Teese. She doesn't go for natural and yet she is consistently a style icon. She had a vision for herself and we can all find that. Marilyn looks amazing as a bleach blonde and Christina looks stunning with red hair. If a colour makes you look better than your natural self then rock on.
Bold features look best with a bold hair color. This makes sense! This can also apply to gray/white / silver hair. My mom had very striking facial features…she looked tired in gray hair….looked so much better when she dyed her hair dark brown.
I'm of east Asian ancestry with natural black hair. But it's very harsh and unflattering on me. Once I dyed it my hair in a warmer, lighter color, I felt like my face lit up. Never going back to my natural harsh black again. Although I do wish I looked better with my natural color cuz dying my hair all the time is a hassle! 😂
You're the best, Merriam. Period ! Every time I'm watching a new video from you I'm learning something, and I have been following you since the beginning!
I think being warm undertone is also a part of this equation, these ladies that look better with lighter hair are warm and delicate looking to me. For me being more cool with olive skin it’s tricky even though I have softer features and my natural black hair looks too harsh in my opinion.
Thanks for your input! I’m most likely cool and delicate also and I also look better with lighter hair, I just have to be careful that I don’t go too warm/copper/ golden and instead do cooler highlights - when I was very blonde it actually looked good with my tan skin but it was hard to maintain
Your totally right. I have experimented with hair color. My cool ash brownish hair looks best on me and if my hair was blond naturally I'd absolutely dy it darker to match my contrast and slight softness.
For the first two “washed out” examples, both women were wearing white, but in the second photo, with darker hair, they were also wearing proper colors. Not really a fair comparison, since white shirts tend to wash out most people.
I didn't know it wasn't your natural voice, as I've followed you for years and you've always spoken like this somewhat. I have no preference, I just enjoy your natural voice
My natural hair colour is a lighter ash brown, and while it’s very beautiful on its own, it doesn’t look quite right on me. As I am a dramatic, I have sharper face features, sharper bone structure, and it just washes me out. My skin colour is muted warm olive, yet when I have my hair darker my skin is less red, my eyes pop out more, I just feel more like myself. I grew out my natural hair colour for a year and a half and honestly I no longer could look at myself in the mirror because it got so irritating🥲
My hair gets gingery under the sun. I spent months trying to fight the brassiness back in vain last summer. And a lifetime dye my hair dark. I finally understood that, if technically copper isn't my natural hair colour (my roots are medium ashy blonde with sparks of gold and copper), this is the colour I naturally get overtime after summer and i shouls embrace it. And let me tell you that now I don't try to hide it under brown dyes as I did for years and that I embrace it, I get complimented a lot. It really gives me character. People remember me. Men find me more attractive than ever (as a brunette I am nit memorable). Next I will add more vibrancy to it and get a decent copper, because I need more pigments to look really good I have found. I owe dita von teese a lot. She said in an itw that she used to suffer from being raised in a generation where natural beauty was all the rage (tall, lean, tanned bodies with sweet faces) when she was quite a plain jane and decided that she woule come up with her own idea of beauty: artificial in the sense of manufactured, but carefully thought through. She is my idol although I look nothing like her!
I'm wondering if soft features + bright/radiant skin would mean someone could play with bright hair colors? Or would that still be too much contrast and overpower the soft features?
I have a sharpened soft frame and my essence is more ethereal, so my best hair color I've tried is my natural medium ash brown on top, and a medium purple/lavender/lilac color on bottom with soft waves/loose curls. My natural color all-over is okay if I have shorter hair (rocking a bob right now), but any longer and it needs a color pick-me-up. I've also tried dark blue and purple (front pieces and underside), and it clashed a little with the ethereal despite being seemingly good colors for me (I'm high contrast but cool and delicate). I liked my hair when it was bleached on the underside and face framing pieces, but I don't think my whole head lightened would go well for me. I also needed to style the blonde more for it to look polished, whereas I could get away with defining some pieces and rocking my natural curl/wave with the lilac and natural combo.
@@pizzakrydder2515 don’t we all wish to be something else… it’s because we’ve lived with the downsides to that type, we forget that other types struggle, too.
My hair looks good dark, hands down. I've realised I might have sharp features but added weight in my face makes it a bit confusing. I've experimented with blonde but dark almost black is my natural colour now I'm 45 it's lightening a bit - it's kind of brownish. I wonder how I'll look when I'm grey, I've not coloured my hair for 16 years.
Hi Merriam. Thanks for a great educational video. I have never thought about something like this but it sure makes sense. I have soft features and green eyes. I have been lightening my hair for years. I'm not sure if it's because I feel I look better but that's how everyone knows me. But now that you am getting older I am wondering about gray hair. I heard that gray is the new blonde. What do you think?
I think I look my best with a tone that is slightly lighter than my natural hair color, either that or a somewhat bright red (even though I'm pretty sure I'm cool-toned).
I have soft features but I'm cool olive skin tone so it's really really risky thing to change my hair color I don't know what to do tbh, leaving my hair as it is which is dark brown is easier of course though
yeah I'd recommend just leaving it dark brown. idk if you've watched my video called hair color advice from a color analyst but I cover some of that stuff there.
@@merriamstyle please talk about hair texture including vintage looks like hot rollers or 40s perms? wouldn't that suit romantic/rounded types or nowadays is it too stiff? what if our hair is thinner?
I always like anyone's natural hair color, but my taste just leans toward embracing the natural. I do, however, love what hair color can do for some people. Marilyn Monroe does look amazing with light blonde hair, but I do not feel that light blonde hair enhances everyone's natural beauty like it did for Marilyn. We could all dye our hair black, but are we all going to look as amazing as Cher did in the '80s? We could all frost our hair, but would we all experience the same result that hair frosting gave to Farrah Fawcett in the '70s? I find it so exciting when people do things that work for them, not against them.
Hm, I think there are nuances to it. I have very soft face features and natural honeyblonde hair, but my skin is very cool toned and a rich red hair colour complements it so well and makes me look so healthy.
@@merriamstyle aha, I see. I was just thinking of Rita Hayworth in her green dress in the movie "Down To Earth" and she too has rosy/peachy cheeks and slight freckles. The combination is so pleasing to see.
my hair never looked better than when it was navy blue, really black with a raven sheen, made my pale skin look creamy and smoother. Never looked worse than when I leant into my reddish looking hair based on summer photos (summer sun LIES) and with auburn hair I looked like a totally different person and awful.
I dont think that one's natural hair color will always be considered the *best*, but I do think it'll always be *flattering*. But an unflattering cut or make-up will overshadow that. The challenging part of this video is that I don't think the examples chosen best supported your argument--as adult entertainers, its unlikely we'd ever see their natural hair color. We'd need to compare to older childhood/adolescent photos, which would likely be closest to what their natural hair color would be as adults.
Yeah I don’t know, as someone with a warm undertone complexion, but that has kind of ashy mousey hair that now has a lot of grey, my natural hair colour has never felt flattering, especially now that it’s even cooler toned with all the greys. I’ve been trying to make it work, but highly tempted to go back to my bleach blonde, which has always been the most flattering colour on me.
I'm rounded type, but i feel like i'd suit a darker colour better. As in, i have light brown naturally, but i think i'd suit black better. I have a black straight wig cut in a not harsh bob, and it just looks completely natural to me, like i was born with that colour, it was surprising. Blonde would work certainly if i had light eyes. With white skin and dark eyes, on some korean celebrities it can look good, but i don't think it's truly the best look, i'm not sure. It confuses me a lot, it's the opposite of what's recommended. Did the colour type just ended up being more important? Or is it tied to the essences? Makes me feel like i'm seeing myself wrong sometimes.
as a rounded type who dyed my hair a lot, going lighter looked worse on me, navy blue toned almost black looked the absolute best and my skin even looked smoother
@@seabreeze4559 Interesting! So i'm not alone. You have precious experience. I shouldn't even try to go lighter, i take, ahahah. I saw your other comment, and it's the same for me. I like long straight hair, but it's like something's not totally right. I honestly find it puzzling what to do, i suspect maybe some rounded edge haircut? If i'm making sense. I also suspect less long hair might be a better choice for our type, but it's so hard to say goodbye to your locks. I'm at a loss.
I find that "fake ginger" is really hit or miss, it tends to either look much better than the natural hair color or look ever so slightly off, Emma stone and Alison Hannigan are two prime examples of that, even Sophie skelton when her hair is died a more subdued copper looks more balanced than with her natural dark brown
Hi Merriam, I always feel so educated by your videos, but I am not so convinced about this one. It sounded very much like a personal opinion, you didn't even know the real hair colors of most of your examples? I would like to see some real examples from real people with real hair, ha! I always got told I look good with copper hair and I did with eyeliner and a full face of makeup, but NOT without anything - so what about the makeup aspect of it? Can you be warm skinned with cool hair color naturally, or is that not possible? How do you know when you hit that sweet spot? I am pale, so I feel like I need lighter colors in clothes, but if my facial features are sharp then I need dark hair, would that not just make more confusion? Well, I am confused! :)
@@rebeccak5846 oh, no. I do know their hair colors. I don't know Rita Ora's exactly, but all the others, I do. What I meant by that is that I'm not sure if the hair color in the specific photo is a natural hair color. For example if I see Beyonce with dark brown hair I wouldn't say that's necessarily natural because it could be dyed still (if she chooses to cover grays if she even has any, etc).
It's different in real life and in camera. In camera and pictures hair that is not natural looks much better, but in real life not. In rl your natural works the best for you.
OP I agree. I always pictured Merriam with a soft blonde colour. Don't know why...... Something just seems a bit off with the dark heaviness of her her hair colour. Now, I'm a soft dramatic and very dark heavy hair looks great on me. I put on a very black wig and I'm immediately transformed. I had to wear a Red/Auburn wig for a performance and I was flooded with compliments Until then, I never would have thought that red hair would flatter me. Strange how all this works!
@@Cekatu well if you really think so, you can add me to the list of examples where natural isn't always better. that's my natural hair color in the video. I don't dye it. I don't think I could handle that level of maintenance right now.

What about Cate Blanchett and ethereal essence? She has dramatic features but is flattered by low visual contrast right?
This makes me think of Katy Perry! She’s a natural blonde
I want to get typed by you. I have to work on photos .
can you do Halle Bailey. she has such a unique face. Im not sure if its ethereal or not
Essence, height, body type, body size, and body id play a big role. She is a tall, voluptuous soft dramatic. She needs bold and bright.
Yes because natural gene selections are not for beauty but for preservation of the species.
