Why Fix Coloring?
Looking better can come down to contrast and balance:- Skin tone vs hair color vs facial features
- Defined features = more attractive + and more eye catching
Skin Tone
Natural Tanning
Pros:Looks the most natural
Builds natural, believable color
Free
Cons:
Takes a long time
Potential sun-damage
May take even longer depending on location and season
How to do it right:
Start with 10–20 minutes per side
Go every other day
Use SPF on your face to prevent aging
Self-Tanning (personal favorite)
Pros:
- Immediate results
- No sun damage
Apply moisturizer/lotion before to get even skin tone
Apply after shower + exfoliation
Blend neck, ears, hands carefully
Peptides
You might hear about things like melanotan.If you’re under 18 don’t inject iqlet
If you are going to, keep in mind the sides and research dosing (I’ve never used it)
Hair Color
Going Darker (Especially Black or Near-Black)
Why it works for most guys:Increases contrast with skin
Features look sharper
Looks thicker and fuller
Keep in mind pure jet black can look harsh on some people
“Soft black” or “dark brown” is often better
Who Should Go Darker??
Light/medium skin almost always looks better darkerThinning hair darker can appear fuller
Adds intensity
Tips for Dyeing Hair
If you don’t want it to look fake, don’t use permanent use semiIf you don’t care like me just use a whole box jfl
Keep eyebrows in mind (see below)
Eyebrows & Eyelashes & Sclera
1–2 shades darker than your hairWhy:
Frames your face
Makes eyes stand out
Can masculize slightly
Brows
Fill lightly or tint (don’t block-fill)Focus on:
- Tail ends
- Sparse areas
- Rub aquafore/vasoline before dying to not stain skin
Lashes
Slight darkening = more eye contrastNot obvious, but very effective
Sclera:
Whiten Sclera with eyedrops at your local pharmacy.Look for red eye relief in the US
Beware of Bounce back redness
