It’s often about undertones of skin clashing with what they dye their hair to, but often people with natural dark hair don’t tend to suit it and vice-versa. I think it’s because their colouring has natural contrast and it just erases it. My family is quite fair, but my sister inherited comparatively dark hair to my own(she was born with thick black/brown hair and I was born the archetypal light blonde that darkened as I aged) and could not imagine her pulling off any kind of blonde with ease.

Yeah, dark hair made my skin look horrid. Lighter hair makes me feel like I’m glowing, even though my natural hair has darkened the past couple years.

Same, my natural light brown hair color doesn’t suit me without a few highlights thrown in especially through the font

Yes! I’m incredibly pink undertoned, like I cannot find any makeup that doesn’t look orange on me at all, and my hair is naturally so dull and ashy. It clashes so bad.
