Much like eye color, but easier to play with, is your hair color. There may be some shades that you want to stay away from, but you are still looking to accent your facial palette. Just remember, if you go by the hair, and decide to dye it, you will have to dye it a complementary color.

Red Hair

Red hair is vibrant and alive. Those with red hair also tend to be fair skinned and both of these lend well to bold frames. Whether it be bold colors or a more conventional dark frame, you are sure to look fantastic. Avoid red frames though as they will blend in and not stand out.
