How Our Hair Colour Can Affect Our Emotions

The jury is still out on which hair colour has the most fun, but did you know your hair colour might affect how you feel?

Refreshing your hair colour is a great way to put the pep back in your step, but could the colour you choose also affect how you feel? Colour therapy suggests that it does! From bold, bright colours to shades of brown, you can choose your hair colour to boost your mood!

Studies have shown that different colours can influence your mood, and although we have yet to learn how this applies with hair colour, anyone who has coloured their hair can tell you that it can change your mood, and, in some cases, your personality! Whether it be feeling more confident in red or mellow in blue, we don’t always realize how much colour affects our days.

Personally, I have always enjoyed colouring my hair every colour of the rainbow. I’ve noticed that it not only affects how I feel, but also how others seem to perceive me. Whether it’s the result of them seeing the colour or the personality I carried along with it, there was a noticeable difference between when my hair was red and when it was blue. With red I felt more powerful and fiery and was told I seemed confident despite nothing else having changed. With my aqua hair, I felt more laid back and chill, and that in turn, seemed to be reflected in how people treated me.

To simplify this a little, we can split the colour wheel into two. Warm tones like red, orange and yellow can be more uplifting, creating feelings of excitement and passion, while cool tones like blue, green and purple tend to be more calming.

Even reds can have different variations with warm or cool tones and copper or mahogany options!

Even if you have brown hair, you can colour your hair to help enhance the warm or cool tones and embrace the power of colour.

And blondes can get in on the fun too!
