Depending on the year, it seems like everyone is going for the same hair color. Last year it was grey and pastel colors, this year its platinum blonde but don't worry, the ombre and balayage are still going strong and probably wont be fading out anytime soon.

While its super fun to experiment with different hair style, some people just dont quite know what to do when it comes to a color. There are so many to choose from, and sometimes you dont always get exactly what you ask for.

If youre looking for something new and exciting but youre not sure what to do, you might want to take a look at your skin tone. Certain hair colors compliment different skin tones, so use this as a guide next time you visit your stylist:

1. Fair

People with fair skin look incredible with warm tones in their hair. Honey blonde, warm, light brown, strawberry blonde and copper are all great choices for people with this tone.

2. Tan

If you have tan skin with warm undertones, cool brown hair will look amazing on you. Keeping your hair a cool shade will complement your warm undertones and create a stunning look.

3. Olive

According to InStyle, people with an olive complexion are great at pulling off dark, earthy hair colors. If youre looking to add some depth, try a few face-framing highlights with warmer colors like caramel, auburn and chestnut brown.

4. Brown

If you have a dark brown skin tone, the best thing you can do is make sure your hair is a different color than your skin. If its the same, InStyle notes that your beautiful features arent as prominent. Going lighter or darker with your hair will look amazing against your skin.

5. Pink/red

If you have a cool skin tone with pink and red undertones, a cool red color will look stunning on you. The coolness of the hair will perfectly complement your skin, plus youll have the fiercest hair ever.

If youre still not sure what to do, ask your stylist. They work with color every day, and theyll be sure to find a color thats just right for you.
Its toxic: New study says blue light from tech devices can speed up blindness

It turns out checking Twitter or Facebook before bed is bad for your health.

A new study from the University of Toledo found that blue light from digital devices can transform molecules in your eyes retina into cell killers.

That process can lead to age-related macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, according to the researchs extract.

Blue light is a common issue for many modern Americans. Blue light is emitted from screens, most notably at night, causing sleep loss, eye strain and a number of other issues.

Dr. Ajith Karunarathne, assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said our constant exposure to blue light cant be blocked by the lens or cornea.

"It's no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye's retina. Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop, he said.

Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease that often affects those in their 50s or 60s. It occurs after the death of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Those cells need retinal to sense light and help signal the brain.

The research team found blue light exposure created poisonous chemical molecules that killed photoreceptor cells

"It's toxic. If you shine blue light on retinal, the retinal kills photoreceptor cells as the signaling molecule on the membrane dissolves," said Kasun Ratnayake, a Ph.D. student researcher working in Karunarathne's cellular photo chemistry group. "Photoreceptor cells do not regenerate in the eye. When they're dead, they're dead for good."

However, the researchers found a molecule called alpha-tocopherol, which comes from Vitamin E, can help prevent cell death, according to Futurism.

The researchers plan to review how light from TVs, cellphones and tablet screens affect the eyes as well.

"If you look at the amount of light coming out of your cellphone, it's not great but it seems tolerable," said Dr. John Payton, visiting assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "Some cellphone companies are adding blue-light filters to the screens, and I think that is a good idea."

Indeed, Apple released a Night Shift mode two years ago to help quell blue lights strain on the eyes, according to The Verge. The screen will dim into a warmer, orange light that will cause less stress on the eyes.
