Nothing beats finding a hair color you love. And when you've found the ultimate hair color for you - the one that makes all your features pop - it's very easy to stick with that hair color for years at a time.
While there's nothing wrong with that, sometimes even the most well suited hair colors need a little boost, and that's where complimentary shades come in handy.
Complimentary hair colors can be added in temporary hair dyes to give you a change of color that will wash out (or permanent hair color if you really love the new look the hair color gives you), or you can use paneling or highlight techniques to add flashes of complimentary colors without totally changing your favorite base shade.
